What Is Spiritual Meditation Really About?
Have you heard about meditation and wondered about its different styles?
Maybe you’ve tried mindfulness, Zen, or transcendental meditation and want to know how they compare to spiritual meditation. Let’s dive into what makes spiritual meditation unique in a clear and simple way.
What Are Mindfulness, Zen, and Transcendental Meditation?
Mindfulness, Zen, and transcendental meditation focus on calming your mind and body. You sit quietly, pay attention to your breathing, and work to clear your thoughts. These practices might include:
Mindfulness: Staying aware of the present moment, noticing your thoughts, feelings, or surroundings without judgment.
Zen: A form of Buddhist meditation where you sit in a specific posture, often focusing on your breath or a koan (a riddle or question) to achieve insight and emptiness of mind. It emphasizes discipline and direct experience of reality.
Transcendental: Repeating a special word (mantra) silently to go beyond ordinary thinking and reach a state of deep rest and awareness.
The goal is to feel less stressed, reduce anxiety, and stay present. These types of meditation are like a quick nap for your mind—they help you relax but don’t dig into deeper soul work.
What Is Spiritual Meditation?
Spiritual meditation is about more than relaxation. It’s a way to connect with your soul, the spiritual world, and beings like spirit guides or angels. Instead of emptying your mind, you use your imagination to visit a place—like a beach, a forest, or a mountain. This isn’t just daydreaming; it’s a form of astral projection, where your mind travels to a spiritual realm while your body stays still.
For example, picture yourself on a beach. You feel the warm sand under your feet, hear the waves, smell the salty air, and just know the sun is shining above you. By engaging all your senses, you make the scene feel real. This opens a door to the spiritual world, where you can do powerful things like talk to your guides or heal your energy.
How Is Spiritual Meditation Different?
Mindfulness, Zen, and transcendental meditation help you relax, but spiritual meditation helps your soul grow. Here’s what you can do with it:
Talk to spirit guides and ask them for advice.
Clear your chakras (energy centers in your body) to remove negative energy.
Let go of spirit attachments that might be draining you.
Heal old trauma from this life or past lives.
Explore other times, like ancient Egypt, or places, like other dimensions.
Work on karma or soul contracts to improve your life.
Connect with angels, ancestors, or your higher self.
These practices go deeper than calming your mind—they help you heal and understand your soul.
How Does Spiritual Meditation Work?
Here’s how to try spiritual meditation:
Find a Quiet Spot: Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
Imagine a Place: Choose a scene, like a beach or a garden. Picture it clearly—feel the ground, hear the sounds, smell the air, or just know the environment around you.
Use Your Senses: Focus on what you see, hear, smell, touch, or simply know. This makes the experience stronger.
Set a Goal: Decide why you’re meditating. Want to meet a spirit guide? Heal a chakra? Clear a past trauma? Your goal keeps you focused.
Stay Open: Belief helps. If you think it’s not real, it’s harder to connect. Just be curious and let the experience unfold.
Not great at picturing things? No problem. Focus on what you’re good at, like smelling the air, feeling sensations, or just knowing what’s around you. Everyone’s senses are different, and you’ll get better with practice.
Why Is Spiritual Meditation Powerful?
Your body has an energy system called chi in China, ki in Japan, and prana in India, but we call it life force energy. It’s like a stream of water that needs to flow freely to keep you healthy. Trauma, stress, or negative energy can block it, like a dam in a stream. When your energy gets stuck, you might feel anxious, tired, or stuck in life. Spiritual meditation clears those blocks. By working with your spirit guides or focusing on your energy, you can remove the “dams” and let your energy flow again.
For example, if you’re always anxious, spiritual meditation can help you find the cause—maybe it’s a block in your chest from a past event. You can work with your guides to clear it, and suddenly you feel lighter. This goes beyond relaxing—it heals the root of your struggles.
Benefits of Spiritual Meditation
Spiritual meditation can transform your life. You can:
Heal emotional pain and trauma.
Understand your life’s purpose by connecting with your higher self.
Learn about your past lives and how they affect you now.
Clear energy blocks to feel healthier and happier.
Get guidance from spirit guides or other beings.
Why Choose Spiritual Meditation?
Mindfulness, Zen, and transcendental meditation are great for calming your mind and body. But if you want to find the source of your struggles—like why you’re anxious or unfulfilled—spiritual meditation is the answer. It’s like cleaning a wound instead of just covering it with a bandage.
To start, keep an open mind and try a simple scene, like a quiet beach. Practice feeling like you’re there, and let your senses guide you. With time, you’ll connect more deeply to the spiritual world and heal yourself.
