DYNAMIC MEDITATION
Jeanne Warrington Fellows
I'm going to outline for you, a simplified version of what we call "Dynamic Meditation." We use the term "dynamic" so that you don't associate it with the traditional "concentrative" meditation. You won't be chanting, or breathing through one nostril, or contemplating a flower. You will be very active and engaged.
I’d like you to try something right now. It is a fairly simple thing that you do quite often but I want you to try and notice what is involved in accomplishing it.
Do this…
Spend a few moments trying to remember what you did in the evening last week on this same day. Don't worry if you can't remember, just spend a few moments trying. Do that now and then continue.
Have you done that? If not, please take just a few seconds to do that now before proceeding.
Whether you succeeded or not, how did you go about doing that?
Did you look away from this text for a few seconds? If so, in what direction did you look?
Did you think anything while you did this? Perhaps you clarified the task: “Let’s see, what did I do that evening?”
Where did you attempt to get the information from?
How did it come? Was it a visual image of what you did? Were there verbal thoughts? Did any emotions come up? How about sounds, smells, taste or other sensations?
The specifics of how you accomplished the task are somewhat unique to yourself. Generally though, the process can be organized as follows:
1) You decided to do something. (You decided to remember what you did a week ago on this day in the evening.)
2) You withdrew your attention from the physical world and focused inwardly.
3) You asked for information.
4) You stopped thinking and waited for the information to arise. (Note that sometimes you can’t recall the information right away so you let go of your searching and it comes to you spontaneously at a later time.)
Guess what?
That is also how you access psychic perceptions.
If you want to recall a past life, foresee the future, perceive what is occurring in another physical location or pick up on someone else’s thoughts, you do the same thing as when you want to remember something.
Now, notice your reaction to what I have just stated.
Do you find it difficult to believe that it could be that easy? Do you feel that there must be more to it?
If so, then you have hit upon the reason why we use a technique for accessing your psychic perceptions. Despite the fact that the perceptions of the Psychic Self are available to you as easily as your regular memories, we need to provide you with a believable “bridge” to those perceptions.
That is the main purpose of Dynamic Meditation.
Gradually, as you become more familiar with the Psychic Self you will find that you are allowing impressions to come through during the day, even when you are not meditating.
On this webpage I will keep things simple. The actual process we use in our book and on the CDs is more indepth.
Each inner journey is an adventure and a mini-vacation. You are not doing "psycho-calisthenics," you're not in Church, you are not being tested. Just come along for the ride and enjoy yourself without expectation.
You can print out these instructions if you like and go off to a quiet spot to do this, or you can just sit right where you are now, at your computer and do your first session here.
This simplified version is purposely designed so that the steps are easily memorized. The aim of this activity is just to acquaint you with the basic concept.
Read completely through all the directions first, "Going there..." and "Coming back..."
Here's the short verison of what you are going to do:
Get comfortable.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath and roll your eyes upwards.
Hold for a few seconds and then let go.
Check to be sure your body isn't tense.
Imagine a door.
Open it and walk into your Inner Sanctuary.
Look around.
And now a longer version:
Going there...
Step 1:
Assume a comfortable position.
Uncross your arms and legs.
Close your eyes and just let go.
For the next few moments, there is nothing else to do, no where else to go, but to be here, now.
Step 2:
Slowly take a deep breath and when you have filled your lungs, hold it. (Don't strain).
At the same time, with your eyelids closed, look up at the top of your head.
Hold that eye position and your breath for a few seconds only and then just slowly let them go and, as you do, feel yourself relaxing, floating.
Step 3:
As you are feeling yourself relaxed and floating, focus your attention on your feet. Try to feel them.
If they are tense, let them relax.
Do the same with your legs, your seat, your stomach, your shoulders, arms and hands, back of your neck, jaw (very important), face and eyes.
(This isn't a list to memorize, just progress from your feet upwards checking to see that your body isn't tense. That's all. If you find yourself asking how you make, say, your eyes relax, all you have to do is to tell yourself: "My eyes are relaxing," and let your body respond. You form the "Intent;" your body will do the mechanics.)
Step 4:
Imagine a door. You can just let whatever comes to your imagination come. Or if that is difficult, you can "remember" a door you know.
Now you are going to go through this door and you will find yourself in your own secret refuge. It is a place inside your mind where you are perfectly safe and comfortable and private; your own Inner Sanctuary.
(If you have chosen to imagine a "real" door, you should know that instead of finding whatever would normally be through that door, you will find your Inner Sanctuary.)
Step 5:
Imagine that you place your hand on the door knob (or handle) now and open that door.
Walk into your Inner Sanctuary and see what is in it.
Spend a few moments exploring your Inner Sanctuary.
See what you find in there in terms of furnishings and such.
(Two items that you will find useful there are a comfortable chair and a large movie screen to represent the Screen of your Mind. This is for receiving images and for visualizing.)
Coming back...
(Well, you haven't really gone anywhere physically, so you could just open your eyes and get up, but the following is a gentler way of refocusing your attention in physical reality.)
Step 6:
Mentally say the word “one” and become aware of your physical body sitting or lying down; the feel of being in the physical world, any sounds or smells.
Step 7:
Say the word “two” and stretch your arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes, and release them. You move your whole body about.
Step 8:
On the count of “three” you open your eyes, look around you, get up and stretch, maybe walk if you need to.
That's all there is to it!
In the book and guided meditations we spend more time with the induction. We use some progressive relaxation and visualization to help you focus more clearly in this state. But what I've have given you here is an excellent beginning.
What you do in your Inner Sanctuary:
Once you have arrived in your Inner Sanctuary you would begin performing your "acts of power."
In the book we give you specific directions but essentially you will form your Intent (decide what you wish to perceive) and then pay attention to the images and impressions you get.
In the first session in the book you'll just explore your Inner Sanctuary.
In the second session you will contact your Inner Guide.
In the third session you will recall a past life.
And so on
The most powerful and effective thing you can do right now, even without the PSD Kit is something we call "DREM Reverie." It goes like this...
Imagine that you sit down in the comfortable chair and look up at the Screen of your Mind. If you like you can imagine it expanding to take up all of your visual area.
That's all you "imagine."
At this point you aren't going to do any more "imaging."
Don’t choose to “imagine” anything on the Screen on purpose.
Just look at the Screen and see what comes by itself.
Have no expectations. Make no judgments.
You may get random images, pieces of memory, scenes from television, anything.
All you are doing is beginning to tune into your psychic level of mind.
Just make sure you aren't thinking about things.
At first what you get might not make sense. Don’t try to make sense of it. Just let it come. It’s like tuning in a different station. The important thing is the “letting.”
Do this for a while and then end your meditation and come back into the physical room you are in.
That probably doesn't seem like a good way to discover your psychic abilities does it? Experience shows us though, that if you just do this process once a day for about twenty minutes, for about a month...
AND
...if you make notes on what you experienced while doing DREM, that you will start to discover all sorts of psychic experiences happening SPONTANEOUSLY.
A STRONG RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that you start keeping a Psychic Journal to track your explorations, progress, fears, successes, questions and such.
Use the Journal to reflect on what is going on.
It is a valuable tool!
The consistent practice of DREM seems to have three results:
1) Gradually you begin to notice psychic "hits" in the images and impressions you get, even without asking specifically for them.
2) It increases your awareness of inner activity so that you are more aware of psychic impressions during the day.
3) As you spontaneously experience evidence of psi, you will discover a wonderful thing. You will begin to have doubts about whether your old description of how the world is, was correct. Foster those doubts. Let doubt work for you for a change. Begin to wonder whether perhaps your description of what is possible could be simply a set of ideas about reality rather than fixed rules of reality.
4) Practitioners have reported feeling more "together" after using this process on a regular basis. (Free therapy!)
If you conscientiously...
Practice DREM once a day
Practice being aware of what you are thinking as you go through the day
Reflect upon what you experience in your Journal...
...then you will make progress in your psychic quest.
DREM acts as general conditioning for your awareness, making it more flexible so that you can perceive psi information and is used when you are doing specific psychic exploration like Psychokinesis or Astral Projection.
In our book you will explore the Inner Guide, Past Life Recall, Precognition, the Energy Body (Aura), and more.
Each of those focused adventures into consciousness represents an opportunity for you to "stop the world" and slip free of your limited description of reality.
Each inner journey offers you a chance to really take a step beyond intuition.
(Let the explorer beware...)
We have to tell you this because it is true and it is for your own good...
Inner exploration is for everyone who is interested. However, we believe there is a truth that you cannot escape.
That truth is that your experience in life faithfully reflects your description of life.
If you are fairly content with the way your physical, waking life is going, then you are probably in a good mental state to study psi.
If you see evil all about you in physical life and if it seems to outweigh the good, then you are not ready.
If you find many conditions that make you feel hopeless, despairing or anxious, then you are not ready. You will meet the same conditions, magnified in altered states and tend to organize your psychic perceptions around those themes.
You should not embark upon inner exploration if you are very depressed, for in that state you will be predisposed toward depressing experiences, whether awake or asleep, in body or out.
You should not embark upon such a study if you hope to substitute inner experience for physical experience, or use psychic abilities to gain power over events or other people.
These explorations are not a means of retreating into the Self; a form of passive withdrawal from physical life. Nor are they intended to replace personal interaction with psychic ability.
You should spend more time talking with people than trying to read their minds.
And finally, you should not embark upon this work if you are ill. Your first responsibility when ill is to get better. We do not want you to divert energy from your recovery to new endeavors.
You should be as flexible mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, as possible; open to new creative ideas and not overly dependent upon organizations or dogma.
You should be outgoing enough in your physical environment so that you are capable of handling your life as it is.
Under these conditions, you will find that this adventure in psychic self discovery will add a quality of richness to your life, expanding and enhancing the life you already know.
