Complete silence and focus on one thing, whatever that may be at the time.

Meditate for what, and when?

That matters very much!

Meditating is a subjective term and may be interpreted differently by different people to mean different things.

Provide an application.

The Purpose of Meditation

There is much discussion and much information that has been offered regarding the multi-dimensional existence in which you, as a soul, exist. There is much that has been offered as to methods of correlating the various aspects of your being, understanding and recognizing that there are many layers of existence that can be understood, can be inter-related, and can be known for what they are as you move through and transcend the physical, three-dimensional plane. There are many words that are used to describe the process of integration of consciousness as all the various aspects of who you think you are and who you know you are, are correlated and merged.

One of the concepts that is offered is the concept of meditation. It is a word that stirs up much, let us say, anticipation, much understanding and misunderstanding about the process and the purpose of what is called meditation. There is only one purpose for what is called meditation and that is to transcend the physical, three-dimensional world and to connect with, in consciousness, that which is in the non-physical, that which lies beyond the realm of the sensory world in which you are embodied, that which extends into the infinite realm of the cosmic Consciousness of Creation.

There is no other purpose for meditation. There is, along the way, as one begins to meditate, a feeling of some temporary benefit, some temporary, let us say, acceptance of the fact that there is a realm beyond the physical. There is a temporary acceptance of the movement of energy that transcends the physical and the emotional state of being. Meditation is not leading toward an end point. It is leading toward an infinite realization of that eternal being you are as a soul, an emanating ray of the divine essence of the Consciousness of Creation.

As you contemplate, as you meditate, as you reflect upon that which lies beyond, let not the temporary or momentary aspects or benefits of meditation become an end unto themselves. There is certainly a sense of peace, a sense of harmony, a sense of release, a sense of acceptance.

There is a sense of expansion, a sense of moving into that which cannot be defined in human terms, because, how do you describe the infinite capacity of the Consciousness of Creation as simply being that which is.

So you see, meditation is a process with only one purpose and that is to carry the consciousness of the soul into that infinite realm of the consciousness of oneness where all that is, simply is. Meditation is important. It is like the life ring to the soul embodied within the three-dimensional world that is looking for the connecting link, the connecting point to that which is the Source, which is the anchor, which is the stability, which is the infinite statement of existence upon which all consciousness rests. Meditation is a most important process and one that should be a daily if not momentary, moment by moment, experience while embodied in the three-dimensional world. It is a simple process, but one that takes focus, intention, desire, and commitment to move through the three-dimensional boundary to simply allow the consciousness of the soul to expand and merge with the infinite realm of the consciousness of oneness. Let it be so for so it is.

You are I AM, the Love, Light, and Life of creation.

Have to disagree with that one. While for many people the main purpose of meditation is spiritual in nature, there are very real benefits on physical, mental and emotional levels as well. Want bigger muscles? Meditate. I'm not kidding.

Meditation has been shown to reduce cortisol and facilitates other changes that allow the body to deal with stress. Stress is your enemy when it comes to getting stronger.

There are many, many benefits to meditation.

Well, maybe you can relate to this: The LA Lakers have a meditation coach. I wouldn't call any of them sissies (well, maybe one or two). The same guy worked with the Chicago Bulls during their championship years.
