Marie Callas book on the Great Secrets has taught me how to meditate and i have taken to its instruction for as much as I can. Meditation I think is a skill as I'm a beginner. I do feel there is a greater sense of peace after each session. My sleeps have been much better and I no longer wake up in the morning feeling "stuck" in the head.
Guess have to be in the right frame of psychic mind, but I have to learn to control my own thinking as my senses can go on overloaded sometimes and I need to shut them off. Meditation I thought has allowed me to control them.
What works fairly well is that I imagine I'm in a place, at a big green grass patch near a beach overlooking a glowing sunset with the serene splashes of the wave brushing the seashore. There is cool sea breeze coming to me in quick gentle succession. What a beautiful scenery, isn't it.
Remember...meditation is the homebound journey towards your self.
