MEDITATION

The practice of mental concentration leading ultimately through a successionof stages to the final goal of spiritual freedom, nirvana. Meditation occupies acentral place in Buddhism and combines, in its highest stages, the disciplineof progressively increased introversion with the insight brought about bywisdom, or prajna.

The object of concentration (the kammatthana) may vary according toindividual and situation. One Pali text lists 40 kammatthanas, includingdevices (such as a colour or a light), repulsive things (such as a corpse),

recollections (as of the Buddha), and the brahmaviharas (virtues, such asfriendliness).

Four stages (called in Sanskrit dhyanas; Pali jhanas) are distinguished in theshift of attention from the outward sensory world: detachment from theexternal world and a consciousness of joy and ease; concentration, withsuppression of reasoning and investigation; the passing away of joy, with thesense of ease remaining; and the passing away of ease also, bringing abouta state of pure self-possession and equanimity.

The dhyanas are followed by four further spiritual exercises, the samapattis

("attainments"). They are described as: consciousness of infinity of space;consciousness of the infinity of cognition; concern with the unreality of things(nihility); and consciousness of unreality as the object of thought.

The stages of Buddhist meditation show many similarities with Hindumeditation (see Yoga), reflecting a common tradition in ancient India. TheBuddhists, however, describe the culminating trancelike state as transient;final Nirvana requires the insight of wisdom. The exercises that are meant todevelop wisdom involve meditation on the true nature of reality or theconditioned and unconditioned dharmas (elements) that make up allphenomena.

Meditation, though important in all schools of Buddhism, has developedcharacteristic variations within different traditions. In China and Japan thepractice of dhyana (meditation) assumed sufficient importance to develop intoa school of its own (Ch'an and Zen;), in which meditation is the most essentialfeature of the school.

Canon of the Physical Proportions of a Great Being


2/12

The image of Buddha, who was called The Greatest Yogin of all Times,expresses serene quiescence. The harmony of his physical proportions is theexpression of great beauty. The required measurements are laid down in thecanon (or standard pattern) of Buddhist art, which corresponds to idealphysical proportions. The span is the basic measure, i.e. the distance from the

tip of the middle finger to the tip of the thumb of the outspread hand. Thisdistance corresponds to the space between the dimple in the chin and thehair-line. Each span has twelve finger-breadths. The whole figure measures108 finger-breadths or 9 spans corresponding to the macro-micro-cosmicharmony measurements.

The perfect proportions of a Buddha, the graciousness of his physical form,represent one of the ten qualities or powers of a Buddha. They are thecharacteristics of the physical harmony and beauty of a Great Being, and aredescribed in Story of the Life of Buddha Shakyamuni. There are thirty-twomajor and eighty minor characteristics. The lines of the eight-spoked on thesoles and palms of a Buddha are among them. The appearance and themeasurements of a Buddha are perishable and a worldly conception: theydescribe the ideal picture of a Heavenly Body. They are not subject to changelike growth, sickness and death, which can only affect the earthly incarnationof a Buddha.

Examining the canon of the body of a Buddha, one realises that every detailrepresents harmonious proportions. Everything, the spot between theeyebrows, marking the eye of wisdom, as well as the tip of the nose, has itsown special place. The nose has its specific length, just as the ears have theirown characteristically exaggerated length. The symbol of a Buddha's greatestenlightenment is the so-called enlightenment-elevation on the top of the head,described in old texts as that which emerges out of the head of an enlightenedsaint. It is the visible symbol of the spiritual generative power that strives

towards heaven and passes into the immaterial sphere.


3/12

The ideal proportions of any image of the Buddha are described in books oniconography. The canonic prototype shows the seated Buddha with his legscrossed and the soles of his feet visible. This yoga-posture has a pre-Buddhist tradition in India, appearing for the first time on the seals ofMohenjodaro in the third millennium BC. This yoga-posture hides the lower

part of the body. The broad shoulders are emphasised in early Buddhistsculptures of Mathura. These characteristics, and the slightly almond eye ofBuddha Sakyamuni, hint at his descent from the Licchavi clan, related to theProto-Tibetans by kinship and blood. Before the final domination of the Indo-Europeans, these Licchavis ruled in northern India and the Himalayanregions. Their principalities had democratic constitutions with equal rights andno discrimination of sex or race. Buddhism and its founder must beconsidered on the basis of this social structure which is confirmed in theoldest texts as well as in the modern Oxford History of India.

Physical Marks

Ushnisha, the Enlightenment Elevation above the fontanelle; is the flame-topped elevation on the head of the Buddha, defined as that which emergesfrom the head of a Fully Enlightened One.

Urna, the mark in the centre of the forehead, called the Eye of Wisdom, alsodepicted as a Bundle of Rays or fine hairs between the eyebrows.

The lower part of the body is covered by the Diamond-Seat (Vajrasana). Thisis the meditation pose (Dhayanasana) of utmost concentration with the legscrossed so that the soles are visible.

The Subtle Energy-Spheres of the Body

The Enlightenment-Centre, the Top of the Head or fontanelle above the uppercerebrum, called Sphere of the Thousand-petalled Lotus (SAHASHRARA-CAKRA) The cerebral centre of thinking and conscious-power, calledCommand-Centre

The cerebral centre of thinking and conscious-power, called Command-Centre (AJNA-CAKRA), the forehead between the eyebrows; ascribed to

lotus-centre.

The guttural centre or subtle Sphere of Speech (VISHUDDHA-CAKRA) at thebase of the throat.

The cardiac plexus, the emotional Sphere of the Inner Voice (ANAHATA-CAKRA), called the Source of the Heart, situated in the central region of thethorax or chest.

The solar plexus with the gastric plexus, called `the brain of the belly', Fiery-lustrous or Navel-Centre (MANIPURA- CAKRA) in the region of the loins and

connected with the lumbar plexus.


4/12

The sacral plexus, called Root-Centre(MULADHARA-CAKRA) or Secret Place, beingthe root of all streams of vital energy (NADIS) inthe region of the rump-bone or sacrum.

The human body is the receptacle of the powerof thinking described as a bundle of energy andpervaded by the so-called breath of life flowingin subtle streams throughout the body.

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited intime andspace. He experiences himself, his thoughts andfeelings assomethingseparatedfrom the rest... a kind of opticaldelusion of hisconsciousness. This delusion is a kind ofprison for us, restricting us to ourpersonaldesires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our taskmust be to free ourselves from thisprison by widening ourcircle ofcompassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in itsbeauty."

The Gaia Hypothesis proposes that ourplanet functions as a singleorganismthat maintains conditions necessary for its survival. The truly startlingcomponent of the Gaia hypothesis is the idea that the Earth is a single livingentity with the capacity ofselfregulation.sense that the Earth is more than asphere of rock with a thin layer ofair, ocean and life covering the surface. Wefeel that we belong here as if thisplanetwere indeed our home. Long ago theGreeks, thinkingthis way, gave to the Earth the nameGaia or, for short, Ge.

In those days, science andtheologywere one andscience, although lessprecise, hadsoul. As time passed this warm relationship faded and wasreplaced by the frigidityof the schoolmen. The life sciences, no longerconcerned with life, fell to classifyingdeadthings and even to vivisection. Gewas stolen from theologyto become no more the root from which the

disciplines ofgeographyand geology were named. Nowat last there aresigns of a change. Science becomes holisticagain and rediscovers soul, andtheology, moved byecumenicalforces, begins to realise thatGaia is not to besubdivided for academic convenience and thatGe is much more than just aprefix.

through the Chakra centers of the bodyand uses it to power the ritual .

Therefore the reason for this page,as one must be in control of ... and in tune with,

these energy centers to do this well..

And the best way to do that is Meditation on the Chakras.

This fine tunes these centers into top formand incidentally you right along with them.

Allow me to explain

These centers are related to our physical and emotional life.See above link Chakras for more details

on the related centers.

Focus on these centers allows youto make them work for you.

When you call on the power in the Craft,

if the Chakras are aligned and you are in tune with them ,the flow is that much easier and more powerful.

Why such colors, in that orderand why do these things

make Craft work better/easier ?

A little science fact for ya.. :)

Light is a portionof the electromagnetic spectrum surrounding us.

The light frequencies are recognized as colorthrough the eyes and brain.

When white light hits a prismit is seen as seven rainbow colors

It should come as no surprisethat the human body


9/12

has seven main chakras,that vibrate harmoniously

with these seven color frequencies.

The list of things that relate go on and on....so you can believe or not

as you please but this works....for your health, well being

and the serious work of the Craft...which is why your reading this right?

Here is a simple little exercise

to get you started :

Put on some comfortable clothes,sit down in a comfortable position, on the floor

( its best to brace your back against something..they even sell special "chairs" for this but anything

that will support your back will do..)

And make the mind and body still..( for a good description on how

to do that see my Meditation page. )

Once you have achieved a relaxed state ,breathing comfortably

then try this image:

Imagine that there is a pole running through your body,and attached to this pole ,

like a row of lights ,are your Chakras.The objective, make each one light up with the right color.

Number one, think sexy... grounded... reality....they all work as they are all correct...think red.. fire..... heat...until you can feel the thing heat up...feel the redness spreadthroughout your pelvis.. ..for me I know I have woken it up whenit feels like I am sitting on a heating pad on low.. :)

Number two think golden glow, think stoking the furnace,thecoals on the grate,the place of digestion which runs it all,withenergy ,until you can feel the flow to the body of the glow ofenergy like warm lava flowing about.

Number three, think of the yellow of sunshine, the comfort of agood meal, the feel of warmth on your face on a lazy day... untilyou feel the quite flow of energy from this center spill out overyou like the sunshine in a window.

Number four, think of the green of growing things, the growth oflove in the heart, the spinning of passion for a lover, forlife..until you feel the energy of this center,ray outward towardsyour hands/feet/head.

Number five, think of the blue of cool water,the color of sky and the voice which is the instrument of the


11/12

will...with words we communicate think of it vibrating softly like thevocal cords do...until you feel a buzz in that area...

Number 6 the color purple .. the center of the mind..think of lightning, strobe lights,all in purple, the color of thestormy sky...until you feel your mind electrified...

Number 7 is the higher self ... the crown above your head ...whose color is indigo..the last color of the spectrum .......it is allcolors at once...so from the end .....to the beginning back tobright white and upwards,out of your head

See the indigo fade to shinning white light...running around your head like a halo

( now you know why the old masters painted religious iconswith halos..

and kings who where considered the divine on Earth with a"crown" )

Red,orange,yellow,green.blue.purple.indigo/white

See them run up the pole faster and faster..until they are one stream of white light

Breath inDrawn the energy from the ground,

Breath outRun that energy thur the chakras

AndOut the top of your head

like a whale breaths air from the deep.


12/12

Keep doing this until you can run this flowindependent of the breath

and sustain a continuous flow of energythrough the chakras and out..

No direction yet for it.. just learning to do it at all...this is very cleansing to the body

and healing as well so its good for you.

I just want you to get the feel for it...as this is what one does....

at speed and without thought....

when doing ritual.

Only at this point you are trying to do it deliberatelywhich is very different than instinct.

It is a good thing to work with each center, alone,and become familiar with them.

There is great healing work

that be accomplished in such a mannerwhich is a common use of Chakric energy.
