MEDITATION TYPES

Traditionally, meditation was situated within the context of a set of religious beliefs, teachings, and practices. The objective was to alter everyday consciousness to reach a state of receptiveness to the goals of the tradition. The customary meditation posture involves sitting in a cross-legged position on a cushion with an awareness of bodily position. There are variations that include lying down, standing, and walking as well as other forms of movement such as yoga and qigong. Modern meditation groups may sit in chairs. Eyes can be closed or open and unfocused. Meditation may be performed individually or in groups. Some meditation teachers emphasize that meditation is a state of mind involving awareness and acceptance, and can thus be done at any time in the midst of any activity. There are countless forms of meditation, but most fall into three or four general categories: concentrative, open awareness, and guided – as well as the broadly defined practice of mindfulness.

AUGUST - AGATE

Agate belongs to the quartz (silicon dioxide) family of minerals. The quartz group is the second most abundant mineral found on earth’s continental crust, second only to the feldspar mineral group. All quartz gemstones share the same silicon dioxide chemical composition, but are distinguished and separated into two main branches based upon differing crystal classes and formations. The two main branches of quartz include macrocrystalline quartz and cryptocrystalline quartz; agate belongs to the latter. More specifically, agate is a variety of chalcedony, which includes a wide range of other gemstones, including chrysoprase, bloodstone, jasper and carnelian.

Agate is unique. No other precious, semiprecious, or ornamental stones can boast of so many types, species, subspecies and families. While every agate pleases the eye, warms the soul, excites the mind. Agates since ancient times. Pliny thought that the name of the stone comes from a river on the island of Sicily. And today on the banks of the river Dirillo, previously called “Achates”, it is easy to find coloured chalcedony (agate). Given that the ancient Greeks praised agate long before the epoch of geographical discoveries, it is logical to assume that the river got the name from the stones on its banks, and not Vice versa.

Аhates – in Greek “happy”. Colored stones and now considered a lucky find – not to mention the times when people are not yet able to synthesize the pigment, and could not entertain yourself with a variety of artificial colors. For the agates were filled expedition! The extracted gems were cut, polished, and then used to decorate the interiors and finishing of all kinds of products. The ruler of Syracuse, having ordered the masters of the new ship, demanded residential deck lay agates, so much so that mosaics depicting scenes of epic nature.

Single-colored agates can occur naturally, but most of the stones available today have been dyed to obtain unicolor. Single-colored agates are often traded using specific trade names, such as sard and carnelian. Agate colors can include black, white, blue, red, green, yellow, orange, brown, pink, purple and gray.

*Meditation with Rose Quartz*
Meditation is one of the surest ways to inner states of knowingness and bliss. To step outside of ordinary reality and feed the stillness within should be a cornerstone of all spiritual development.

When we add the blessings of crystals to our meditation, we can amplify our experiences, accelerate our growth and gain even greater connection to the natural world around us.

Crystals are a living frequency and will naturally absorb some of the shock so that we may deeply and honestly heal the spaces we may have been avoiding. As the addition of a crystal can give us perspective, we can learn not to take things so seriously and can more effectively heal our hearts.

When we bring crystals to our meditative practice, our spaces expand to include the natural elements. A rose quartz meditation can remind us of the love all around us and bring us into more sincere love toward ourself and others.

Using a rose quartz to meditate can help ease emotional disharmony as it reminds us of the gentle love offered to us daily. It further soothes emotional trauma which may keep our hearts closed and can be a blessed ally in calling in greater personal and romantic love.

☯ SECRETS OF SELF-COGNITION

Rose Quartz Meditation

When you need a love refresher or are in deep turmoil and are craving ways to feel the abundance of love, this meditation can guide you back to your own inner wisdom. While you can quickly use this as a pep me up, you can also deepen your practice by lengthening your meditation to gain even greater blessings.

Place yourself in a quiet space free of distractions where you can lie down. Beds are awesome but will most often signal the brain to sleep. Lying on the floor with a mat is suggested to keep you present during the mediation.
‼Before you lay down, introduce yourself to the crystal (and please - Meditation clearing your crystal in advance is always highly encouraged!)

State aloud your intentions for connection and healing so the frequency of the crystal can support you there. Speaking out loud also invokes your larger Guides and Angel to offer their support of your space. Lie down and rest the Rose Quartz on your heart. Place it securely for you may be mighty distracted if it slides off when you are deep within. Allow yourself to feel the unique energy of the rose quartz. What frequency is it emitting? How does it feel? Visualize the soft pink color expanding from your heart, filling up each space with a more resounding sense of peace and love. Let this color and vibration move until it fills all of your body.
Bathe in the compassion and bliss for several minutes allowing this frequency to re-program your heart, mind, and body. When you've soaked up all the love vibes, place both of your hands over the stone.
With hands on your heart over the rose quartz, allow your breath to be your guide. Breathe in more love, compassion and peace and breathe out anything that hinders your access to your true heart field. You should begin to feel at one with the frequency of the rose quartz allowing yourself to slip deeper into her generous blessings.
Say aloud several times: "I am Loved. I am Love. I am the embodiment of the Light Within." Repeat this mantra until you feel electric with its truth. When you are complete, gently wiggle yourself back into your body and open your eyes.

✅Thank the rose quartz for her teachings and remind your heart that this is now your highest frequency. Acknowledging this shift will train your brain to lock in this vibration as a constant state of being.

✅ Types of meditation

There are two main types of meditation:
1) Focused-attention meditation or ‘Mindful meditation‘
2) Open-monitoring meditation.
In Mindful meditation, you focus on one specific thing ranging from your breathing, a specific sensation in your body, or a particular object in front of you.The key point is to focus on one thing without consideration to other thoughts or events happening around you. When any distractions occur, you must be quick to recognize it and turn your focus back to your focal point. Open-monitoring meditation is where you pay attention to all the things happening around you but you do not react to them.

✅ What is meditation

There are many things in life that are beyond our control. However, it is possible to take responsibility for our own states of mind – and to change them for the better. According to Buddhism this is the most important thing we can do, and Buddhism teaches that it is the only real antidote to our own personal sorrows, and to the anxieties, fears, hatreds, and general confusions that beset the human condition.

Meditation is a means of transforming the mind. Buddhist meditation practices are techniques that encourage and develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivity, and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. By engaging with a particular meditation practice you learn the patterns and habits of your mind, and the practice offers a means to cultivate new, more positive ways of being. With regular work and patience these nourishing, focused states of mind can deepen into profoundly peaceful and energised states of mind. Such experiences can have a transformative effect and can lead to a new understanding of life.
Over the millennia countless meditation practices have been developed in the Buddhist tradition. All of them may be described as ‘mind-trainings’, but they take many different approaches. The foundation of all of them, however, is the cultivation of a calm and positive state of mind.

✅ Brain activity during meditation

Meditation provides experiences that the mind can achieve no other way, such as inner silence and expanded awareness. And as the mind gains experience, the brain shows physical activity as well—sometimes profound changes.

Beginning in the 1970s, studies showed that something was happening in the brain during meditation. In the last decade, the research has begun to show that meditation can also produce long-term structural changes in the brain. No longer is the “hard wiring” of neural circuits so dominant. The brain can alter its wiring in “soft” ways, thanks to a trait known as neuroplasticity, which allows new pathways and even new brain cells to appear.

Measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy, and stress start to appear in subjects who practice mindfulness meditation for only eight weeks. A team led by Harvard-affiliated researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital reported these results in the first study “to document meditation-produced changes over time in the brain’s gray matter.”

What makes this finding so important is that it links how people feel when they meditate, with their physiology—the kind of proof that neuroscience demands. The old view was that meditators reported all kinds of mental and psychological benefits when in fact all they were doing in meditation was entering a state of deep relaxation. In the Harvard study, MRI scans were taken of the brains of 16 participants two weeks prior to the study and directly afterward. MRI images of the participants were also taken after the study was completed. It was already known that during meditation brain wave activity increases in areas like alpha waves. These MRIs showed something more permanent: denser gray matter in specific regions like the hippocampus, which is crucial for learning and memory, as well as in other areas associated with self-awareness, compassion, and reflection.
