Stages of
Experience in Meditation
(Excerpted
from "Stages
of Experiencing in Meditation"
copyright 2003 by George A. Boyd.)
When you first meditate,
you may not see anything inside yourself. Usually, the first sensing
to arise is that of kinesthesia, or feeling. When it is very quiet,
you may begin to hear the vibrations within your inner vehicles.
Next, your visual sense will begin to operate. At first, you will
see colored lights, patterns swirling. This will give rise to clearer
vision of the inner worlds of consciousness. Ultimately, you will
be able to see into the essence of another person.
The seven stages of experiencing
in meditation are shown below:
|
Level
|
Phenomena
|
| Kinesthesia/Feeling
|
Feeling
movement, bliss, and waves of energy |
| Audition/Hearing |
Hearing
inner sounds within vehicles, resonance of the inner stream
of the Nada, and Nadamic tones in space |
| Sight
|
Witnessing
colors, white light, and patterns of light |
| Forms
|
Observing
the visual forms of your own vehicles |
| Panorama
|
Observing
the content and environment of the Inner Planes |
| Entity
|
Observing
the inhabitants of the Inner Planes, ability to carry on dialogue
with them; visual, auditory and kinesthetic communion with the
Inner Guide |
| Essence
|
Ability
to "see" the attentional principle, the spirit, the
ensouling entity in yourself and others |
The faculties of clairvoyance,
clairaudience and clairsentience the ability to see, hear,
smell, taste and touch on the Inner Planes arise only after
sustained practice of meditation. At first, your experiences are
vague, fuzzy and dreamlike. Later, they become sharp, focused and
palpable.
If you practiced meditation
in one or more past lives, you may find that you may begin to have
the more advanced visual experience in mediation right away. If
you do not have them, do not become discouraged. Regular practice
of meditation, particularly mastery of inner transformation techniques
and Raja Yoga methods, will rehabilitate your faculty of metavisional
seeing, and will activate each of your subtle senses.
Each new
breakthrough into a new dimension of inner sensing will bring you
excitement, and will whet your appetite for new spiritual adventures.
The adventure of consciousness exploration is the Great Frontier
within, and will yield ever-new vistas of discovery and insight
to your inner travels. Persist in meditation and, in time, all of
the stages of meditation experiencing will be awakened inside of
you.
