My goal

Hi, I recently became aware of meditation. I do not know where to start, I am a noob to that stuff of chackras and the third eye. Can someone refer me to something that works. Thankyou.

Welcome afsalazar...


Apologize on behalf of ATS for not welcoming you right away, all the cool members must be asleep...


Lots of info on the subject and you could start by using the search function on the site...also, quite a few members here are very knowledgeable in that area. Seek them out....





Cya on the boards....

start with the pineal gland,if that don't work then all i have to do is welcome you to a very unstable ride.These people are like the missing library of alexandria

You should start by meditating on the meaning of the word "meditation".

med·i·tate   [med-i-teyt] Show IPA verb, -tat·ed, -tat·ing.
verb (used without object)
1.
to engage in thought or contemplation; reflect.
2.
to engage in transcendental meditation, devout religious contemplation, or quiescent spiritual introspection.
verb (used with object)
3.
to consider as something to be done or effected; intend; purpose: to meditate revenge.

So to answer your question... You need discipline; close your eyes, focus and clear your mind of noise and garbage and then think of what you want to achieve. Your goal will determine what kind of meditation is right for you.

You cannot go wrong with self-hypnosis, it's a perfect way to train your mind. From there, the possibilities are endless.

If you search a little, you will find plenty of threads regarding meditation, chakras and the third eye. Some are good, some are so-so and some are way out there. The reason why I did not link any. It is up to your personal quest.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with a bunch of rides, so with that said...

Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret (ATS), the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.


* Please check out those links posted above before getting on one of the rides. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

* Please be sure that you act like an 'civil' adult and are at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward).

* Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your all on. You should be mentally fit, stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented.

* Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might expect. Be aware you also might end up learning something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride.

* Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

* Please have fun! But be aware that if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentially spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is not only for your safety, but also for those both young and old on the ride with you.


So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!


Johnny

Third Eye or more commonly known as Pineal Gland

Another excellent thread, by Resentedhalo08:
