I have been reading some information on the connection between numerology and mediations these two days. Numerology represents methodology of relationships among numbers and living things. Every living things can be associated with a number ranged from 1-9. There are different interpretations. You can calculate the number based on your birthday, birth name, or some information attached to you for your whole life. I personally more belive in using the birthday to calculate the number. Your birthday can't be changed, but your name can, For me, a name is just a symbol. I have had more than 50 nicknames called by people all around me. Some are used more often than my birth name. In my opinion, once you recognize a certain calling, it becomes you and you own that identity. In some Asian fortune telling method, name changing is one way to change your luck. Usually, it requires more than 500 people to call your new name to change the energy field of yours. Ok, it's enough about the name. Let's talk more about numerology and meditation.
My dear tarot card instructor, Grace, wrote an article about numerology and meditation. Too bad it's not in English or I would really recommend it to everyone. There is a meditation method which is most effective to people with a certain number. However, any well-designed meditation is helpful to you if you do it right. I will recommend some methods below. Most of them are from OSHO. I also provide the links so you can see more information on the official OSHO website. I will also share some of my personal experience on meditation below.
There are some important things (at least I think those are worth mentioning) about meditation:
1. Remain an empty stomach when you do the meditation. Some meditation methods involve lots movements. It will be bad to throw up in between. You won't be meditated. You will feel more stressed because of the sick stomach and the stink smell.
2. Let yourself BURP out loud. What? I should burp like an uneducated kid? Yes, my dear. Let's see why we would be burping during the meditation. When you burp, the emotions compressed in your 3rd chakra (the stomach chakra) or even the 2nd chakra (the solar piexus chakra) will be pulled out. Let it out! Why do you want to keep those bad inventory in your body? DO BURP! Ohh, if you burp a lot, please clean the energy field of the room afterwards. Don't let the bad enerfy stay there. IMaybe, you won't be affected by the released bad energy anymore, but other people entering the room may be. How? I usually use the white sage. You can get the white sage bundle online. Just google it. Burn it, hold it and move along like drawing a bolder of the room along all the walls. If you don't like the smell of the incense (or your roommate/family/spouse doesn't like it...don't burn the sage and get into a fight after you do the mediation...totally not worth it), you can try Pomander Airconditioner from Aura-soma (a british company). It costs much more though. Or, if you can find other air spray that can clean the energy field, that's fine also. Make sure it's all natural, no artificial ingredients.
3. Drink a lot of water slowly afterwards. After you calm down and take a few deep breathe, drink water. Water can clean your body and also provide the energy of transformation. Drink it slowly, and try to drink warm water. Don't drink icy water. Your body is warm. Pouring icy water into a warm body is like forcing the cold and hot energy to bump into each other instantly. Imaging pouring the cold water on a heated board. How loud can the sizzling sound be? That's how much energy is released at that instant. If this kind of relase happens in your body, that's a lot of impact. Please try to avoid it.
4. Wear comfortable clothes. You are not entering a beauty pageant. Yon't need to look trendy and/or sexy. I used to dress in those branded sportswear when I exercised. Guess those companies really did great advertising and brainwashed us. Now, I even get my pants in target. They are made of cotton and comfortable. You may have a lot of movement in the meditation. You must feel comfortable in your clothes to do so. Of course, if you feel very comfortable in clothes as tight as Catwoman's and can run in high heels, that may be a different story. I just make my recommendation here.
5. Select the music you like. Some meditations require background music. For OSHO meditations, CDs are available. No matter where you get the music, make sure you feel comfortable and/or delighted when listening to it. IT'S YOUR MEDITATION! I would recommend music without lyrics or sang in a language you don't understand or the lyrics you can be enchanted with. You don't want to use something like AO Technology or A Piece Of Me. Yeah, you can feel the beat and dance with it...WHEN YOU ARE CLUBBING, DUH! One point of meditation is to calm your mind. If you keep thinking and singing along with the lyrics, your mind are too busy. You are not meditating. You are creating more emotions!
Now, some experience I think worth mentioning on different meditation methods:
OSHO Dynamic Meditation: Do land on the flats of your feet when jumping up and down (in the third step). Your whole sole must touch the floor or you are wasting your time. Yeah, your legs will get sore in the beginning. It's normal and worth it. If your legs don't get sore, either you are not doing it right or you have been over-excercised.
OSHO (Sufi) Whirling Meditation: In the first step, if you feel dizzy doing whirling, lying face down on the floor to let your naval contact the earth. Do get up again and start whirling after the dizzy feeling is gone. When doing the first step of Sufi Whirling, there will be a lot of energy to be pulled out. If you are new to these, you can easily feel dizzy after just few rounds. It's ok. You have compressed your emotions in the past too much. Just rest as mentioned above a little, then continue.
