Astral projection or Out of Body experience is woo-woo land of meditation. Have you ever had an experience where you were like… out of your body? It usually happens when you are about to sleep, about to wake up or during meditation.

People love it because it feels so unlimited and powerful. They can fly; they can be anywhere and do anything. They see freedom, power and joy.

And then they try to make it happen again and spend a lot of money in trying to learn from those who claim to have mastered it.

What is it & Why the hell Do you Want it?

Think again, they want to be out of this body, the quickest way I know – die. And then they argue that they just want to feel that good and unlimited again – that’s where it gets screwy!

That OBE (Out of Body Experience) was God’s / Source’s way of reminding you your true nature – unlimited, capable and joyous. You don’t need to prove yourself that again and again. It is struck in your memory as a reminder of your true nature that you easily cannot forget.

That’s also true for dreams that you can’t forget and think about again and again. They are reminders or indicators of direction –they are like indicator of what is active in your vibration. And sometimes answers to your questions.

I am not saying that you should jump off the cliff, just want to remind you that you are meant to be in your body not out of it.

What do they mean?

If there is one thing that it means, it’d be – “You can be, do or have anything that you want. You experienced it and now live it in your physical expression.”

People often seek dream interpreters and such to know what does their dream means. And I want to ask, why will you ever get a guidance that you can’t interpret yourself? The meaning is not in the details of who was there, where were you –that’s why you forget that so quickly. The meaning is how it felt, follow the feeling and you shall know.

How to experience them again?

First question, ‘Do you really want to be out of body, or live how that felt while you are in?’ You want to be in these bodies, that’s why you came here.

What you really want is that feeling of listlessness and unspeakable joy. Remember how the OBE felt, without being bummed about it now happening again and you will see your life transforming around it.

Conclusion

OBE are usually experienced by those who want to know “is that all?” life’s got for them and who want to know their listlessness. They are sort of reminders of your powerful self.

Remember what it came to remind and live it life, in your body. When you are meant to go out of it, you will go – till then – enjoy your body.

Have you ever had out of body experience? How did it feel? What was it about? What did it mean to you? Share your experience in the comments.

I’ve used the word ‘consciousness’ a million times (and I still misspell it often). But what does it actually mean? No, I am not going to give you a dictionary or almighty Wikipedia definition – because they don’t tell you anything. No one can know the meaning of love by reading about it in dictionary.

Consciousness is conscious – energy conscious of itself – aware of itself (aware of it’s own existence). I used to think that would be all living things but recent from recent conversations with Abraham I learned that everything is consciousness – everything is aware of itself. Yes even the rocks, the sand grains, even your computer screen!

Their perspective might be entirely different from yours but everything is consciousness. At this point I remember reading about it in Heart Sutra and Diamond Sutra (Remind me to write about them later).

Let us discuss some more properties of consciousness:

It is Energy

Everything is energy, everything is consciousness. This makes so much sense. The source of that energy is non-physical in nature. That means it cannot me smelled, tasted, touched, seen or heard.

It is Vibrational in Nature

I don’t know what you get by vibration but all energy is vibrational in nature and so is consciousness. And all vibrations are managed by the powerful Law of Attraction which is constantly brining like vibrations together.

It is Well-Being

There is nothing as negative enegy. There is nothing called evil, just well being or resistance to it. There is a stream of well-being which flows thorough and to all that is. Those who resist it with their thoughts experience negativity and those who allow it experience well being.

It’s hard concept to get but so it is. I’d like to quote Abraham Hicks Here:

“You do not look for a dark switch which you will flip and inky-misty darkness covers the room, you will not find one. There is no source of darkness – only a source of light that can be resisted.” – Abraham Hicks

There is light or absence of it – no anti-light. There is well-being or absence of it – no evil.

It Enjoys Physical Form

Consciousness does not need to be physical form, thought it enjoys it. Physical form needs consciousness to exist. You can and in fact you do exist out of this physical form. You are not dead or alive – physical or non-physical. You are always alive and always non-physical – sometime choosing to take physical form.

“We are not physical beings going through spiritual journey; we are spiritual beings going trough physical journey.”

This kind of leads to another thing I want to talk about. People often talk of their souls, or consciousness as if it is different. As if it is some sort of light they carry. They think they are their body and souls keep it alive.

Wrong! You are consciousness – your body is just a form. Your awareness is your soul. You are that which consciousness is.

It is Unlimited & Expanding

People want to think of God or soul as perfect, and of themselves as trying to catch-up with their perfectness. Nothing is perfect, everything is evolving and that which you call God (which really the creative center of that which is you) is evolving right along with you on this leading edge of thought.

You are unlimited and you free to choose. You, as consciousness, come in physical world to experience the choices and be more. Nothing else will ever resonate with you.

How Feel your Unlimited Conscious Self

Want to feel how unlimited you are? Want to feel your full power? Meditation is one of the good ways I know. Though this site is full of all the techniques you can try but I am going to give you something right here so you can just read and go for it:

1. Sit comfortably with your back straight. (Important or you will fall asleep)
2. Close your eyes (after reading the article, that is)
3. Focus on your breathing.
4. Your mind will wander off, just gently get back on breathing – don’t fight it.
5. Keep doing till 10-15 minutes. (You can set an alarm)

Make sure you come back to tell me how you felt. Right now, if you feel like, you can share your thoughts about consciousness in the comments below:

You will get one post every week in which I will share something new or oldy goldy and I want you to discuss what you think. Why? Because it matters – I know you will come up with brilliant ideas which we all will benefit from – so I want you to get talking to each other.

The format will be this:

To get update about latest weekly post on Meditation Rocks! you will need to sign-up for it. It’s free and just ask you your name and email and hit enter. Do it now!

That was my first step towards making us into a nice big community. Now, I need your ideas and feedback. How can we be a better community who talks and cares about our spiritual living?

Do me a favor, tell me what you think.

PS: Someone suggested that we should have a forum, but I don’t think they are good. So I redesign to focus on content and interaction. Lemme know what you think.

I’ve tried to convey this idea before but I thought it’s worth writing this again. What happens when you have free time at hand? Do you look for backlogs to clear up? Or do you start doing something so it’s easier for you later? Or just take a nap?

Why not just do nothing for a change. By doing nothing I don’t mean doing things that result in nothing. I mean doing absolutely nothing. No thinking, no working, no sleeping – just be. Just meditate.

Why?

Life is not a checklist that one day will finish and you will say good-bye. You will never get it done. But you are not a do-er you are being and there is so much fun in feeling your being.

Have you ever taken time to feel who you really are? Take that time – do nothing and just be. So you can know yourself.

How?

Meditate for 15 minutes.

After that…

Do share how you felt about yourself after doing nothing. I am sure you will have a story to tell, a story of change in perception. I am eager to hear it.

I don’t know about you but I can’t imagine my life without all the fun of traveling. You get to learn so much about people, cultures, entrepreneurs and food. One of bad ass habits is to meditate every where I go. It is fun to meditate in new environment and new energies.

It is summer time so most probably you will be traveling; now that doesn’t mean that you have to leave your meditation at home. We can meditate anytime and anywhere, remember? So here are a few tips for meditating when you are out.

1. There is no fun in meditating in your hotel room, obviously you want to get out in open and meditate. In that case make sure that your things are packed and closed to you securely.
2. Make sure you carry a light weight mat with you or maybe a simple piece of cloth which you can spread out on any surface and mediate.
3. It is a good idea to bring your favorite music along but nothing is as much fun as meditating to new sounds in new area. Being the awesome one that you are, you can even meditate in the noisiest places.
4. I don’t know any place which have rules against meditation but make sure local law is not against such practices in public.
5. Try looking for a local meditation group or retreat and plan do visit that place. Talk to people about how they meditate, what got them interested and how they feel about it? Share your idea, URL of this blog (www.meditationrocks.us) and connect to them. You belong to a worldwide community of meditators.
6. Often people end up with upset stomach when they have to eat out too much. Meditation can do wonders there. Just feel how relaxed your energy system and digestive system is when meditating, you can fake it too.
7. Traveling, sometimes, is too tiring. 10 minutes meditation before you go to sleep can do wonders for you.
8. Not related to meditation but it is summer, so drink a lot. Have you ever tried mindfulness when drinking water? (Good idea for a post later, what say you?).
9. Take a technology break; I had to take a week-long technology break because my laptop charger was broken. I can’t tell you how refreshed mind gets. Instead try connecting with people mentally, yea telepathy. (Hey I should write about that one too).
10. Use your creative arts to capture the moments. Pain, make a video, write a poem just do anything and frame those memories. Anything that takes you to your full potential is meditation too.
11. Have fun. Because life is supposed to be fun.

Bonus Tip: Wear cool meditation rocks T-Shirt on your vacation.  It will be so easier for other people who love meditation to find you. Who knows you might end up as their meditation guru?

Okay so you watched Avatar and all their ways and customs to live. The protagonist goes and lives with them, learns everything and it’s awesome to watch that! But how can that help you in some way other than just providing happy moments of the Na’vi way of living? Well, let’s see.

The Relationship between the Na’vis and the Pandora

If you were paying any attention to the movie, you would see that they have an eternal bond with their planet, Pandora. They can connect with anything by using that “curly-wurly” thing at the end of their hair (or tail), and feel that creature, tree, leaves or whatever they can connect to. And the feeling they get is eternal and almost similar to the feeling you get when you meditate.

Now, how will you do that? You are not a Na’vi (and if you are, WTH are you doing on earth?!) and you don’t have that “curly-wurly” thing at the back of your hair or… umm tail (which I guess you don’t have). But if you could imagine that your whole body/skin can do the similar thing? Yes, you guessed it correct. It’s very easy to meditate their way!

Meditating the Na’vi Way!

Follow the following steps, and meditate the Na’vi way –

• First, be in whatever position you like to meditate in – sit, lie, or whatever (but make sure, at least half of your body is touching the ground)!
• Now close your eyes (it’s important for this type of meditation).
• Now focus on the ground your body is in contact with – Feel the vibration, feel everything, feel that you are acquiring some sort of energy from the ground, you have an eternal connection between both of you.
• Keep doing feeling this for 5 minutes to 20 minutes (depends on you).

There ya go, you are now meditating the Na’vi way! And I bet you will love it!

How it Works

Well, as their planet, Pandora works as does our mother earth. There is a constant flow of energy in the ground below your legs, you can feel it if you want, or just ignore it (what everyone else does). But, we, humans have made it very difficult to feel it by lack of attention.

You can feel this energy in your own house even if you live at the top floor of a 100 storey building. And what’s more exciting is that, you can literally draw energy from it. Yeah, seriously, you can draw energy from it. Don’t believe me? How do wrestlers punch or kick so hard? And you cannot? Because they have muscles and strength? Yes, sure they have, but they know one more thing, they know there is energy in the ground below their feet. While punching or kicking they draw energy from it and their punch gets a hell lot better.

PS: I will write about how you can energy from Mother Earth can help us solve day to day problems.

So what we didn’t post anything new past week? We were having a bad fight. By ‘we’ I mean me and my alter ego which wrote 2 hideous posts to you last week and some of you loved it. Alright! Almost all of you loved it.

Now we are in big time fight here: Who writes for ‘Meditation Rocks!’ ?

We are both going to go in for making you our offers, choose wisely (that is choose me). Here we go:

King Sidharth’s Offer:

I’ve built this blog from ground up and I know each one of you. We have great thins in common – we are like friends, aren’t we? So wouldn’t it be nice for me to share with you all the experiments and insights that I share with you all the time and an occasional new teaching (once every two weeks or so).

I keep reading good books and blogs on meditation and have written so much for you and I want to write more because that is what I love doing – sharing my love for meditation with others who love it too.

If you think meditation rocks, vote for me.

Alter Ego’s Offer:

I know everything Siddy knows + more. And guess what? I don’t keep thing secret like he does. He hasn’t told you more than half of things he wish he’d tell you. Shy kid. Ha

You know what? I am not a f*cking boring teacher like him. I talk in your good tongue.

If you will learn from me, you will be super cool. Anyways, I am not in a mood to make any stupid offers. It was Siddy’s stinking idea anyways. So buzz off and vote for me anyways or maybe don’t as if I care.

Meditate or whatever… just stop bugging me already!

Vote

Did you hear him? He swears for God’s sake! I mean shit!

Anyways, you better help us out resolve this. All ideas are invited. I am sure they will be better than my lazy ass alter ego’s no brainer ideas.

If there is anything common between the awesome top-gun I am and the lousy thing you are – then it’s gotta be Siddy. We have learned many bad things from him. (Screw him!)

So it is time to unlearn some of the shit he has taught you.

Worst of Worst – Be Calm, Peaceful & in Ease and Flow

I’ll tell you what. Life ain’t no fun when it’s shitty easy and flowing. I like it raw and wriggling. Goullum! Gollum!

So make it hip and put on some dirty music. Put on some death metal, as if I care. Now think. Think in midst of that flowing energy, you will love it. If you won’t, you are an idiot.

I will give a challenge. Can you meditate in middle of f***ing fast music? I bet you can’t! haha!

If any of you lazy ass manages to beat that then I will see you in comments section. If you are a pretty girl, I might consider seeing you in personal. Lucky shit you are.

Next Best Thing – Be Naked

Have you ever tried that? You weird cloth wearing c**t?! It’s awesome. I work topless ( no I don’t exchange pictures so STFU!).

Try that. Be free. Let’s make a nudist colony. I am thinking of asking your pretty smart Siddy to make me a website that says ‘Nudism Rocks’. At least talk some sense dude. Some day you will be lucky to have that blog. Today is not that day.

If you’ve been paying attention I am talking about meditation here. Yea that weird closed legs and crossed eyes stuff… err… crossed legs & closed eyes. Yeah! Exactly, that shit you do.

So try and meditate while you are naked. I will tell you what. Poor Siddy wanted to share this idea with you since so long. But he is f***ing shy (and show off) so I did you a favor. You super lucky f***er.

That’s enough of luck for today. Go screw yourself or meditate, for all I care. It’s time for me to download some things while Siddy is away, if you know what I mean.

Subscribe to this shit and we will have something more in common. Or go away and stop bugging me you bugger. F*** You!

Note About Photo: Get a life if you were disappointed by the photo. I mean, I can’t make it a porno site. Yet.

King Sidharth’s Note to Readers: Please bear with me, I am busy and I have to give it to my alter ego to write for you. You know it’s not me, right? I don’t swear. Like at all.

King Sidharth’s Note to Alter Ego: F**k You!

You asked for it, and here I am. Why do you have to hear from me? (You stupid ass) Don’t you know I was asleep?!

So you want me to teach you a thing or two about meditation, eh?

Then let me f***ing teach you something. Here is the thing:

Meditators Should Be Angry

Who’s the f***ing bastard who told you that meditators are not angry?! F**k, they are angry as hell. They are people, not some shitty angle trying to play nice with God.

So I’ll tell you what, be angry and be as angry as you can. And when others try to calm you down or tell you that they don’t like you tell them to

“Fuck Off!”

…because meditation gives you that awesome selfishness. See me? I don’t give a shit about what you are gonna think of me. I am no f***ing King Sidharth. Be like me, don’t give a rip.

Meditation tells you ‘shut the **** up’ and then you see yourself – your f**king God self.

That’s it for today.

Since your dear-heart Siddy is busy with some shit, you are going to hear from me this week. Lucky bastards you are. (If you are not an idiot you will demand for me to write more to you – when he comes back, that is)

Now if you are smart you will go and subscribe to this blog because I blog here every now and then. And in case you are over-smart and have already done that, you will go and share it with friends of yours who need some shit in their brain. (Use ‘Sharing is Sexy’ stuff below)

If you don’t, you are an idiot.

Go meditate, or don’t. As if I care.
