Meditation and Visualization

I started practicing meditation many years ago, having in mind that may be, I was going to be able to see the auras of other people, or to have out of body experiences, or even to fly. After a year of practicing the Transcendental Meditation, I received an advanced technique and I became a Sida. I was practicing Sidies and during my program I had the chance to fly (my body was jumping a little upwards). All those were happening in 1984 – 1985

What I am doing now. First of all I am sure that 20 minutes meditation (or any other technique like breathing or concentration ) is very useful for everybody. In this 20 minutes period the body relaxes and the mind becomes very strong. It is the time to remember things to do. The energy which the body is producing during that time, is used only by my brain. In the course of time I did a lot of group meditations and once, at the University of Maharishi in United States, I was following a program of meditation, 7 hours a day for 3 months.

Now I discovered something else. When I wake up, I drink a liter of reverse osmosis water and then I lie in bed, having 2 pillows under my neck and a piece of cloth on my eyes. I prepare myself to do 2 programs. During the first program I visualize that I go to the gym using my entering card, then I go into the main exercise room and start doing my program spending exactly the same time I spend when I actually do the program. But instead of doing every exercise 3 times each, I am doing them only once. In an experiment done in the U.S they used 2 groups of 20 students. The first group were doing push ups exercises for 15 minutes every day. And the other group of students they were visualizing doing the same push-ups for again 15 minutes. The muscles of the first group were improved by 30% and the muscles of the visualization group were improved by 25%.

I visit the Gym every day. I have divided the exercises in 3 groups. On Monday I am doing exercises of the back and the belly. On Tuesday exercises of the hands and chest and on Wednesday of the legs and heaps. Same programs for the rest of the days of the week

The second part is the meditation. I just start and the mind knows what to do. Actually I don’t need any mantra. I go into a meditation state at once because of the long time I am practicing it. This is the most beautiful period of time of everyday. It is so beautiful (blissful) that one day I decided not to interrupt until I have to go to the bathroom. I started at 8 am and I finished at 1 pm. But now I have good knowledge about exercises and I want my muscles to become stronger and larger. So if the body needs any energy and the stomach is empty then it takes energy from the muscles. So the 20 minutes period is finished, I get up and have breakfast.
