Aussie Meditation - share the benefits of meditation the Australian way.

What is labelled New Age meditations are commonly influenced by Eastern ideologies of, yoga, Hinduism and Buddhism; blended with some aspects of Western influence. New Age meditation had its origins in the 1960s with the aim being, to blank out the mind and discharge oneself from conscious thinking. These methods often relied upon repeated chanting of a mantra, or concentrating on an object. From

these origins, New Age meditation has unfolded into a range of various techniques. The primary intent is to bring peacefulness and equilibrium, thereby permitting access to additional realms of awareness.

Mindfulness as a Stepping Stone ✔️✔️ Mindfulness can be an effective tool and serves as a stepping stone towards attaining enhanced self-awareness and inner peace. It promotes conscious awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations “in the present moment” while fostering an accepting and non-judgmental attitude towards yourself and others.
However, mindfulness alone is not enough to bring about lasting transformation. To achieve enduring change, it is crucial to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and other affirmative qualities. This necessitates a committed and continuous endeavour to train the mind through practices like meditation, self-reflection, and improved awareness.
Ultimately, the goal is to develop a deep understanding of yourself and the world around you and to cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being that is not dependent on external circumstances. This is a lifelong journey that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace change and growth.

Surpassing the Limits of Your Mind ✔️✔️ The journey of surpassing the limits of your mind unfolds as you begin to balance and harmonise with the energies of your Life Force, unlocking the transformative power that lies within the depths of your being. At the heart of this journey is the delicate balance and harmonisation with the energies of your Life Force. As you consciously engage with your Life Force, a transformation begins with the gradual awakening of the Life Force Mind. The awakening of your Life Force Mind marks a shift from the dominance of the mental mind and passive intellect, to one where the Life Force Mind begins to assert control.
As the Life Force Mind asserts control, you will gain a heightened ability to navigate the ebb and flow of emotions and to better master your thoughts. However, it is important to realise that this is a transformative process, and is not a rejection of the mental mind. It is an elevation of consciousness that transcends the limitations of mere cognitive processes, giving you a profound sense of inner stability in the face of life’s challenges.
Life Force Meditation enlivens the Life Force with a dedicated purpose of thought. It transcends the boundaries of typical meditation states, mindfulness, and positive thinking, all of which, while valuable, remain tethered to the limitations of the mental mind. Through the application of directives or commanding thoughts placed in the back of the mind, you can gradually awaken these unrealised aspects of your Life Force.
As you engage in Life Force Meditation through the use of Cognition, you will discover a realm where thoughts are not just fleeting patterns, but expressions of a higher, more expansive awareness. The potential is within each of us to awaken to a state where the mental mind becomes a tool, not the master, and the Life Force emerges as the guiding force toward a more profound and harmonious existence.

Sorry can be the Hardest Word ✔️✔️ Do not be afraid to be the one to say sorry after an argument or disagreement, even if you think you are in the right. Being sorry is not about taking a proverbial side, winning or losing. It is an exploration into the realm of friendships and relationships which underscores the transformative power of humility, gratitude, and the acceptance that compromise should be seen as a cornerstone of harmonious connections.
In the heat of disagreements, the ego often stands tall, fuelling the belief that admitting fault or offering an apology is a sign of weakness. However, the opposite holds true. Apologising requires a deep well of strength and self-awareness, an acknowledgement that relationships are nuanced, and the pursuit of being right at the expense of connection is a hollow victory. Learning to say sorry becomes a bridge that spans the chasm created by disagreements, fostering understanding, and fortifying the foundation of trust.
The essence of compromise is a hard lesson to grasp, especially in a world that increasingly fosters individuality and the pursuit of personal desires. Yet, as you navigate the complex web of relationships, both personal and professional, hopefully, you may realise that compromise is not a surrender or loss. It is an acknowledgement that more often than not, we need to work together in life to achieve mutual understanding and shared happiness.
Gratitude becomes the natural offspring of the willingness to apologise and compromise. When you embrace the humility required to say sorry, it can help you to better appreciate the friendships and relationships around you. Gratitude allows you to shift the focus from what is lacking or perceived to be lost, to what is present or achieved. In the act of saying sorry, you can not only mend interpersonal bridges, but also cultivate a grateful heart that sees the richness of what already exists.
Realise that simply saying sorry can make such a difference, whether it is to defuse a situation or to make things right. So take the time to contemplate that being sorry is not so difficult to achieve.

Observation can be Your Teacher ✔️✔️ The simple statement “If you observe, everything is your teacher” is often overlooked by people as they seek the next big thing in life. However, there is great wisdom in this statement which transcends traditional notions of learning, urging you to recognise that every moment and every circumstance carries within it the potential for profound insights and growth. This concept echoes the wisdom of many spiritual traditions while emphasising the interconnectedness of all things. Teachings are inherently embedded in the fabric of existence.
In adopting this perspective, you become open to the rich tapestry of lessons woven into the very fabric of life. Nature becomes a mentor, whispering lessons about resilience, impermanence, and interconnectedness. Interactions with people, whether harmonious or challenging, become mirrors reflecting various aspects of yourself, providing opportunities for self-awareness and understanding.
Observation is the real key to unlocking the teachings that permeate every facet of existence. It is the cornerstone of learning, and through mindful awareness, you can uncover the teachings that await in every moment. It is also an intentional choice to engage with the world with your open eyes and a receptive mind. When you adopt the mindset that everything is a teacher, the mundane can transform into the extraordinary, becoming a source of learning.
Embracing this idea that everything is a teacher, is a transformative shift in perception. It is an acknowledgement that growth is not confined to formal institutions or specific experiences, but is a continuous, ever-present journey.

Comprehending Planetary Effects ✔️✔️ The location of the Moon and planets in a constellation at the time of your birth is part of your astrological programming or key code. The Moon and planets within our Solar System have an established and prescribed energy and influence, which are inscribed with positive as well as negative facets. They are the regulating forces of every little thing which takes place within our material continuance.
Understanding the small nuances that these celestial objects can influence, is the key to understanding the diverse nature of human astrological key codes. The richness of the variability of energy patterns helps you to better understand why very few individuals will react or think the same way.
The Moon and planets of the Solar System also provide keys to bring about changes in your ways of thinking and reactions. The Moon magnifies your emotions through the strong magnetic energies it exerts upon the Earth. Mercury strongly influences the mind. Its location at your time of birth imprints patterns on how your mind will operate. Venus strongly implants the patterns of emotional reactions within your psyche. Mars for the basis of your attitude to life, your drive and motivation and rules your personality, often being your own mirror. Jupiter has a strong governing aspect in your life, your material progress and your well-being. Saturn regulates the deep-seated or subconscious aspects of your way of thinking and can provide one of the biggest challenges through its amplification of karma. The outer planets and bodies of the Solar System including Uranus and Neptune, are the driving force behind the inner planets; whereas Pluto (although now no longer recognised as a planet by the IAU) is to higher inner evolution.

Social Stories ✔️✔️ How often do you spend scroll through social media? The social media landscape is increasingly adorned with curated snapshots of seemingly perfect lives, picturesque vacations, impeccably decorated spaces, the latest fashion, the best accessories, as well as joyous gatherings with friends and funny videos or reels. Increasingly your views are being orchestrated by AI algorithms designed to highlight influencers and increase monetarisation for the platforms.
In light of this, as you scroll through this digital landscape or are immersed in VR, you should take a moment to consider the true social stories. Rarely do social media feeds showcase the ordinary, the routine, and the less-than-perfect moments that make up the fabric of everyday existence. Despite all the often carefully created images, if you were to peel back the layers of illusion, you would realise that regardless of their curated online persona, most people do engage in rather ordinary lives.
Awareness becomes the key to navigating the social media mirage. As you scroll through these curated glimpses into others’ lives, try to realise that what is often portrayed is increasingly likely to be a carefully orchestrated social story. Through this awareness, you can safeguard yourself against the pitfalls of comparison, envy, and feelings of inadequacy. This improved relation with the digital landscape allows for a more grounded and realistic perspective, preventing the negative impact of social media which can sometimes have adverse effects on your self-worth and lead to a myriad of other issues.
Empowerment lies in you recognising that you cannot control the content others post, but you do have a choice as to how much you are absorbed into the social stories, endless videos or regurgitated memes. Knowing when to stop, and disengage, or setting boundaries is an important aspect of your interactions in the digital landscape. The decision of how much to view and how to respond to digital content becomes a conscious choice. Setting boundaries for the digital realm, and recognising the value of real, unfiltered connections in the offline world become essential tools in maintaining a healthy relationship with social media and being able to appreciate your own unique social story.

Take a Deep Breath ✔️✔️ Sometimes in life, it can be important to stop to take a breath. Throughout your life, you constantly breathe, but much of this activity is controlled by the autonomic nervous system of the physical body and goes on unnoticed. The act of taking a breath is a conscious decision to step in and control your breathing. This can be extended to observe all sensations around your breath.
So how can consciously taking a breath be so helpful? Well, the first and most important aspect is that it provides a focus for your mind. If you have been having trouble with erratic thoughts or rampant emotions, focusing your mind in this way can be a simple but effective means to create a pause. When you have paused the mind and given it an alternative focus, you have the opportunity to step in and break the pattern of thoughts or emotions which are impacting your life, then make a conscious choice rather than continuing to react with the passive intellect.
You will also find that if you take a deep and purposeful breath, the act of your deep breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system. This contrasts with the sympathetic nervous system’s activation, associated with the fight-or-flight response. By consciously engaging with deep breathing, you can access a powerful tool for self-regulation, steering away from the stress-inducing patterns of the modern world.
When approached with intention and mindfulness, your breathing becomes a means to achieve relaxation, infusing the mind with a calm clarity that is conducive to optimal cognitive function. Your brain is a large consumer of oxygen within your body – on the physical level it is then clear to see how conscious breathing opens channels for increased oxygen intake, leading to improved mental clarity.
Conscious breathing extends beyond the cognitive realm, reaching into the emotional and psychological domains. It becomes a tool for breaking free from the ruminations of the passive intellect, offering a pathway to emotional balance and mental resilience. Stopping to consciously take a breath. can be extremely beneficial for your well-being.

Escaping Emotional Jail ✔️✔️ Emotional Jail is a powerful metaphor that encapsulates an entrapment which you may experience, due to the web of self-limiting thoughts and emotions manifesting when you get into a so-called emotional state. When you get deeply emotional, it becomes hard to recognise the barriers built by the passive intellect of the mind. In the throes of an emotional state, the passive intellect orchestrates a relentless parade of self-limiting thoughts and corresponding emotions, constructing an intricate tapestry of limitations and excuses. These thought patterns become the bars of your emotional jail, restricting your ability to think clearly. This metaphorical emotional prison is not only a construct of your mind, but also an energetic state that takes its toll on your mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Escaping your emotional jail is about how you can learn transformative techniques to break the chain of emotional cause and effect. Thereby giving you an opportunity to break free from this emotional quagmire of your own construction.
The journey to escape the emotional jail is an inner odyssey, requiring commitment to mindful awareness and bringing forward cognitive mastery. As you cultivate these skills, they can help you to become aware of the thoughts and emotions which have formed the prison bars and walls. Being aware is the first step to being able to dismantle the walls of self-imposed limitations, creating an opening for renewed mental and emotional freedom. Escaping your emotional jail, requires reclaiming control over your thoughts and emotions, unlocking the potential for a more liberated, empowered, and balanced existence.
Entering into a state of cognition is an extremely useful key to unlocking your emotional jail. This is not a passive quietening of your mind, but a deliberate and focused effort to silence the cacophony of the thoughts. Cognition involves a dedicated purpose of thought, a specific conscious redirection of mental energy toward constructive, empowering, and liberating perspectives. By quietening the mind with intention, you can create a space for clarity, and the dissolution of the emotional jail’s energetic grip.

What is Life Force Meditation ✔️✔️ Life Force Meditation, in its simple and purest form, is all-encompassing harmlessness to be at one with yourself. This spiritual practice requires that you harmonize your Life Force energies, thoughts, and emotions, allowing you to attain a state of balance and harmony. Life Force Meditation awakens the light within you. The transformative power of this practice emphasises the need to dissolve the barriers created by material thoughts, emotions, and feelings that shroud the true self.
At its core, Life Force Meditation is an exploration of the inner landscape, a journey to rediscover the light of your Life Force, the authentic essence that resides within every individual. The barriers constructed by the mind and persona are like veils obscuring this inner radiance. The practice allows you to peel away the layers of conditioned thoughts and emotions that have accumulated over time, allowing more Life Force energy into your life.
One of the keys to Life Force Meditation lies in the cultivation of an open, peaceful, and quiet mind. This is a necessary and often overlooked aspect. A quiet mind is needed so your inner Life Force energies do not feed the uncontrolled thoughts and emotions of your passive intellect.
As you undertake any of the Life Force Meditation techniques, special commanding thoughts known as directives, are strategically placed within the back of your mind, and then the directives gradually flow forward into your conscious mind. Additionally, these techniques use a unique sequence of finger gestures, which helps focus your mind on “being in the moment” and applying the directive.
This practice transcends the superficial layers of identity, leading you to deeper states of meditation, and creating an environment conducive to the awakening of your inner light. As the light of your Life Force is awakened, it becomes a guiding beacon, illuminating the path to self-realisation to become more at one with yourself and the world around you.

Not Your Way ✔️✔️ How often have you seen or read something and immediately dismissed the notion with the thought I know better? It is a common human trait. Some of us build very strong personas over our lifetime where we believe our thoughts or views are the right or only way.
Releasing the grip on the notion that your way of viewing, thinking or even being is the only way, can help to open your mind to new ideas and possibilities. Letting go of the idea that “Your Way is the Only Way” may prove difficult for some people, but doing so can often provide great opportunities for learning or collaboration. It is always good to be open to new perspectives, as invariably other people will have had different life experiences, and thus will see things slightly differently from how you see things. This shift in mindset can be very helpful in many aspects of life, even if you then later choose your solution or approach after having considered other perspectives.
This same notion holds true for any activity which you decide to take for self-improvement, spiritual development or awakening. Always try to have an open mind when you are presented with a new or different way of doing things. You may be surprised at what you may learn in the process. Sometimes this learning may not come directly from what you have undertaken, but arises as a result of having opened your mind to new possibilities.

How Sound Can Boost Your Meditation ✔️✔️ Meditation is a practice that has been around for centuries for many good reasons. It is a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving focus, enhancing your well-being and unlocking your spiritual awakening. While there are many different forms of meditation, one aspect which can be overlooked or conversely overemphasised is the use of sound.
The application of sounds during your meditation, whether natural or intentionally generated, has the potential to boost or enhance the meditative state through several key aspects. The harmonious melodies of nature, the soft cadence of chanting, or a gentle rhythm, can all serve as powerful catalysts for a meditative experience that surpasses the ordinary.
As you start to practice meditation, you may find that your mind teems with thoughts and distractions, which hinders your ability to properly meditate. The use of wisely chosen sounds of nature, such as flowing water, rustling leaves, or bird songs, can act as harmonious companions during meditation. These sounds, often associated with serenity, create a backdrop that eases the mind into a state of relaxation. By immersing yourself in the gentle cadence of these natural sounds, helps to keep you focused, so the chatter of the mind does not disrupt your meditation.
Secondly, sound can be used to help directly induce a meditative state by calming the mind and nervous system. Certain types of sounds, such as binaural beats and white noise, have been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Additionally, the application of a rhythmic pulse of binaural beats can, for some people, create a sense of synchronisation and harmony between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Through the application of these sounds, you may be able to more easily enter a meditative state due to a harmonised mind and relaxed nervous system.
Thirdly, the use of sounds, such as the resonant tones of chimes, gongs, singing bowls and the like, can be applied as intentional tools for meditation focus. These sounds, carefully chosen for their vibrational qualities, can be used to anchor the focus of your mind. The rhythmic repetition of sounds can help synchronise your awareness to your breath, creating what some describe as a cohesive and meditative experience. By attuning to these intentionally created sounds, you can help focus your mind to cultivate a heightened sense of presence, allowing the mind to settle into a tranquil state conducive to deeper meditation.
If you are looking for a way to kick-start or boost your meditation practice explore the many different applications of sound. There are many different types of sounds, including silence which can be used in meditation. Find one that works best for you. Once you become more proficient at meditation, you will likely find you no longer need the use of sound to boost your meditation.

Are you Awake? ✔️✔️ Being fully awake in a metaphysical context entails a heightened awareness of the ongoing processes within your field of consciousness. It involves a mindful recognition of the ebb and flow of thoughts and emotions, empowering you to navigate your mental landscape with clarity and responsiveness.
So instead of unquestioningly succumbing to the whims of your thoughts and emotions, remain vigilant and acknowledge the current state of your mind and emotions before they reach a tipping point, or the proverbial point of no return.
By staying attuned to the nuances of your inner world, you can foster a greater sense of self-awareness and follow through with conscious choices that align with your aspirations.

Live in the Moment ✔️✔️ Whatever the past was, it is now gone. There is nothing you can do to change anything that has gone before. Turn your attention to the here and now. It is hard to resist the allure of dwelling on what has gone before. But if you want to be successful in your life, you must turn your attention to what is happening to you right now. You might be tempted to dwell on the past because it was awful, or because it was wonderful. Either way, you have to leave it behind, because the only way to live is in the present.
If you revisit the past because of regrets, then you should realise that you can’t go back and undo what you have done. The reality is that we have all made some form of one or more decisions in the past which we later regret, but that is the past. If you hang on to guilt, you are only damaging yourself, feeding a new cycle of emotion which could lead you to a very similar situation. What you can do is learn from the past. Acknowledge the choices you made and do your best to make better choices now and in the future.
If on the other hand, you yearn for the proverbial good old days. Take the opportunity to appreciate the memories, but also move on and put your efforts into finding happiness in the present. We all have to leave things behind and discover the opportunities which lay in the present to create additional positive memories.
It can be helpful to see the past as a separate part of your life, like a different room in your house such as a library filled with books of your memories. You can visit this room, but importantly it is not where you live your life, or at least you shouldn’t.
Savour all the moments that life offers by treating every second as important and precious. Don’t waste it unnecessarily living in the past. Live in the now for a more fulfilling life.

Procrastination Affects Your Happiness ✔️✔️ Procrastination, often dismissed as a harmless delay, conceals a significant impact on your well-being and can affect your pursuit of happiness. On the surface, procrastination, or delaying things may seem innocent. However, the crux of the matter is that procrastination, rather than just getting on with things, can often lead to a hidden accumulation of energy, which in some cases can result in increased stress.
It is not uncommon to be faced with tasks which you may deem undesirable. In these situations, the mind naturally gravitates towards avoidance. This avoidance perpetuates delays and adds to the underlying emotional causality. The looming sense of “I don’t want to do this” can very quickly build to be a burden, amplifying the stress associated with the task at hand. This thinking pattern then creates a feedback loop, which not only delays the completion of necessary responsibilities but affects your emotional well-being.
Addressing procrastination requires a proactive approach. By confronting the task head-on, you can liberate yourself from the grip of avoidance, unravelling the knots of stress that hinder your path to happiness. Tackling necessary tasks, not only frees up mental space, but also creates a sense of accomplishment. The release from procrastination allows for a redirection of energy toward more enjoyable aspects of life, fostering a positive cycle where the pursuit of happiness becomes an achievable endeavour.

How Negative Thoughts Affect You ✔️✔️ Delving into the intricacies of the human psyche, it becomes evident that negative thoughts or thinking have an impact which extends beyond thoughts themselves. To better comprehend the impact of your thinking, you need to consider the profound connection between your thought patterns, emotions, and the energetic fabric of your being. This may lead you to the realisation that your mind is not only a generator of thoughts, but a sculptor of the energetic landscape that shapes our overall well-being.
Negative thoughts act like dense clouds, casting deep and long shadows over the mental landscape. If your mind fixates on these destructive aspects, it unwittingly fuels their energetic existence. The energy generated by persistent fear, worry, and destructive emotions can coalesce into a formidable barrier; an energetic interference, akin to static, disrupting the natural flow of the human mechanism.
This energetic disturbance, when left unchecked, becomes a major contributor to both physical ailments and mental imbalances; echoing the profound connection between the mind and the body.
Understanding the energetic consequences of negative thoughts becomes a pivotal point in the pursuit of your well-being. The realisation that your mental states are interlinked with the physical and energetic dimensions of your being can inspire a shift in perspective. By cultivating this awareness, you can redirect the energy of destructive thoughts, or transform their nature through methodologies such as emotional alchemy.
This basic understanding of how negative thoughts can affect you, gives the insight to break the cycle of negative thought patterns, promoting mental clarity and emotional resilience.

What is the Light of Knowledge? ✔️✔️ The Light of Knowledge is the first stage on the pathway of light as you begin the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. It signifies the illumination of higher aspects of the self, revealing layers of consciousness and wisdom previously veiled in the shadows. It is a process of gaining profound insights into the nature of your being and understanding the intricate tapestry of thoughts, emotions, and feelings that shape your identity.
This knowledge is not confined to the surface, but delves into the depths of the soul or Life Force, unravelling the timeless truths that transcend the boundaries of ordinary perception.
Simultaneously, the Light of Knowledge extends its radiance to the energies flowing within and around you. It is an awakening to the subtle currents and vibrations weaving through the fabric of existence. This stage involves recognising the interconnectedness between yourself and the cosmic energies, fostering a deep sense of unity with the universal force.
As you progress in your understanding of the human mechanism, you gain insight into the operation of your mind and become more aware of the energies of your Life Force. This understanding and insight serve as a foundation for subsequent phases of the journey into higher states of consciousness. It is a journey that goes beyond intellectual understanding, providing you with the opportunity to integrate this newfound knowledge and learning into your life.
Ultimately, the Light of Knowledge is a beacon that beckons seekers such as yourself to delve deeper. Bathed in the transformative light of knowledge to explore the limitless realms of your inner
