Energy moves out from us affecting everyone. It moves like waves from every one .. in the energy are strands of thoughts even memories, pictures, and more feelings.  As a reciever you tune in to one or feel it at that moment like a radio in effect.  So when you connect or center, you are tuned and recieving. Remember thought forms are living things.  The drifting pictures and hearing you may experience during meditation, that dont seem to be your own are those in a way without energy being fed to them. We put it all out, even just easy things.... every feeling, every thought ... it is also how we take energy.      

As we meditate our intent should focus on listening to spirit knowledge or whatever the reason we are listening for.  If we listen at random - we pick up at random.  It is really just a step to learn .. Awarness.  That is why so many dont connect when meditating they think it is supposed to be quiet, when if they listen they hear.

Patience

Steps leap...even at times fall back down or go sideways, its more like a fun house then a stairway to heaven.  Even the best hit walls and dont meditate for years. Sometimes in meditation I started with the usual fight to just clear my head. When I finally did reach the point where I could, I would get pokes and pulls and even voices.  So I ignored what I felt was just stuff and kept going deeper.  Then I reached the point I was getting info or energy as knowledge feelings and pictures.

I began playing with the pictures, holding a picture to see if I could follow it's trail.  Then I would find my self kinda peeping in on people so I backed down on that adventure.

After that point I reached the source...but I had to tread threw all the stuff down here first.  My spirit is what centered and then opened to the source or god mind you might say.  Then I poped out about that time.  So I reached the center to connect with god..and then I guess by my evolution the next step was travel ..or conciouse travel.  I have always traveled but not by intent to reach up to go.  In meditation my intent was truth seeking love.  So when I hit the point I made contact I went out to it.  Then when I could travel with intent I started wondering around again.

Well first and formost meditation in basic is listening to self ..knowing self aligning spirit to mind body emotion..it is the best tool to center and before any other step is taken you should always center in self.  You will find it also helps you grow if you align now.  It helps growth be smoother, and calmer.  The next step is listening and determining your spirit from others you may be aware of.  Center in self is as simple as the intent to do so..it is saying spirit is the leader; mind, body, emotion follow spirit then sit there untill every thing quits arguing.... it will quit.

Then you move your light from your center inside. I always see a flame within me like my solor plexes.  As I pull my mind, body and emotions to my center the light within expands outward.  It become a ring or bubble around me and I literaly glow or get hot all over.  Most feel their hands but I feel my whole body, then at that moment I am centered with my spirit, I know my plan.. I know my love .. I know it all.  In all truth I only carry the love back, it is more feeling total who you. Some things I have tried to find words for, I cant.  This is one but it is a real eye opener to who you are  when you center it helps to understand people better.  You find deeper acceptance .. it is like you just know they must deal with their stuff too. They steps and keys to open the next doors will always be recognized  as standing out, and interpeted by feeling hearing or knowing.  It will accent how you percieve things.  They always give new meaning and add a hundred unanswered questions to your list.
