Many people practice meditation to widen their awareness of both their external and internal selves. Regular practice can lead to a clearer and more object perception of self, others and the environment around us. A perception less clouded by our personal prejudices, cultural beliefs, desires and conditioned perceptions.

For those of us committed to personal development, some form of meditation practice is essential. Personal development requires personal intimacy. It requires the ability to step back and witness our own inner processes (pre-dispositions, aversions, growth opportunities, fears, etc.)

Our self development goals are often impeded by the social-survival mask we have shaped from past experiences that no longer exist. The mask not only hides our authentic, naked self from the world, it hides it from our own perception. The meditation state is the doorway into the boudoir or our being.

Mediation is not necessarily about sitting in an uncomfortable position for hours on the floor while your legs freeze in that position? While posture is a key aspect of mediation technology, it is but one click in the combination that unlocks the bolt holding fast the boudoir door.

The chosen posture must be accompanied by the inward gaze upon the breath of your beloved soul. A complete focus upon he/her until no one else occupies your heart. Only then will the veil be drawn and your nakedness revealed in it’s true beauty, power and light.

Although the process itself is simple the practice takes concentration and desire. There are many different types of meditation roads but they all lead to the same place. Like the branches on a tree all leading back to the trunk and trunk to the roots, roots to the soil .

Your favorite meditation technique will be the one that affords you the most direct path to the meditation state of no-mind. The state that allows access to the re-set button of the psyche. It cleanses the mind of excess (distractions) by emptying the psychic recycle bin and supplements your psychic deficiencies with added clarity, laser focus and motive force. Now we have a foundation upon which to build our personal development lifestyle.
