This process is effective when our emotion lies between 1)Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation and 22)Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness.
By now, we know that by deliberately choosing positive thoughts, our hindering beliefs can be replaced. But meditation is a method of changing one's beliefs in much shorter time. It is easier for us to have no thoughts at all than to have positive, pure thoughts. That is exactly what is done in Meditation. Imagine a cork bobbing on a water body-this represents the place of high, fast, pure vibration that is natural to us, Now, let us imagine holding the cork down under the water-this is what resistance is like. When we let go of the cork, it automatically rises back up to the surface of the water. Just like it is natural for the cork to float on the water surface, it is natural for us to experience the high, fast, pure vibration, free of resistance. We do not have to work at being in the high vibration since it comes naturally to us. In meditation, we practise "absence of thought", when there is no vibration within us, so we naturally start emitting pure, higher vibrations. There are various ways by which a meditative state can be achieved. The basic objective is to concentrate on something that doesn't evoke any reaction within us. So, we usually close our eyes, relax and perform some simple action like silently counting numbers or focusing on our breathing. As the mind becomes silent, we start feeling a sense of physical detachment. For example, we may feel that there is no difference between our toe and our nose or feel the sensation of twitches and itches beneath the skin, involuntary movements in our body like swaying from side-to-side or to-and-fro, etc. All of these are indicators of our achievement of a state of meditation.
