Beginning Meditation

Well it's time for an update on my previous blog post about meditation studies. Those of you that read that post, or are reading it now, will recall that I whenever I tried beginning meditation I ended up quitting. I have to say that was exactly what was going to happen again this time as well, but 3 days ago I found some very meaningful work about meditation and our brains.
I'm grateful to report I will absolutely be continuing to meditate EVERY DAY now, along with absolutely looking forward to it!
I had ordered a free , and liked the sound of the heavy that was blended with some chimes, bells, and musical tones. As such I then purchased the program. For my beginning meditation, I was instructed to listen to a certain CD every day for a half an hour. I already had a problem with that instruction, so I put in the CD and listened to it before going to bed. I figured I had to get tired anyways, and doing both at the same time would kill 2 birds, or 2 sheep in the case, with 1 stone.

Oh forgot to mention they said the best position for listening to the CD was sitting upright. Not good. I already was slacking from the start. It just seemed like a waste of my alert time to be doing my beginning meditation according to their instructions. My next problem was having to do the meditation every day. After about a week, I completely fell off the wagon. A friend of mine asked me how I was doing. I told him I was going to send the materials back Monday morning. WRONG!!!
I have to say, I feel that I have been divinely lead to some very important information on the internet over the last year. I will do a blog post sharing all of that info at some point in the future, but for now I will continue discussion about my meditation discovery.
I have a few reservations about the most recent material that I found online, so I'm not going to share everything until I feel 100% ok with it. There are many facets to the information, so I can begin discussion on parts of it. I will begin so by sharing about the pineal gland in our . The video below touches a bit on what I will be sharing more about in future posts.
I'm not familiar with the gentleman (William) giving the lecture in the video, and was unable to find out anything else about him with no last name given. He described the being located at the center of our brain, right at the top of the . He also said the mystery schools knew the "secrets" to our anatomy, and our pineal gland can secrete secretions, that contain these "secrets." He spoke about a wave of energy that is going to becoming towards us, and that we would receive it through the pineal gland.

William also shared that the human biological system might behave in some way like a , that amplifies a very small signal to a process of resonance. And for example, it could possibly be one beam from the center of our . He said our pineal gland can be tuned in, and could receive that resonance, only if we knew how to lift the serpent within. He also informs us of a new light, or "vibration" that is about to bathe our planet.

I love baths!!! This sounds really good, except I would like to know a little more about what's in water before I put my foot in. I think I know what he's talking about from the research I've done thus far, and my new findings do confer about the need for our pineal gland being tuned in. This may be what he is referring to regarding lifting the serpent within, thus the importance of beginning meditation.
I think the is an excellent aide for meditation, and I'm glad I had it handy to begin this journey. As I continue my research, I will further explain why.
