![]() Remain Peaceful by Sherrie Wade (Shree), MA Certified Meditation Instructor When you teach meditation and speak about meditation to your friends and family members, it also opens up the meditative awareness in you. This higher awareness enables you to live in a peaceful state with ease and freedom. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to meditate and speak about meditation as much as possible. The best thing that you can do for the world is to become established in the peaceful awareness of meditation and talk about it to others. Peace begins with you! A peaceful person emanates a state of peace wherever they go. And, as you practice meditation, you'll radiate this vibration of peace so much so that others will naturally want to know what you are doing. You can talk about meditation and lead them into meditation and, again, this continues to support your practice too. You will improve, your family members will improve, and the world will improve. Teach meditation and know the peace that you are: all is as One blissful Self. Transformation Meditation, also called Doubt Free Meditation, is adapted from the system of yogic meditation described in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. There are over 185 Transformation Meditation Teachers listed worldwide. Transformation Meditation is based on observing or focusing on the space of Pure Consciousness, or the Knower of all experiences. You can use the ancient Sanskrit mantra, Amaram Hum Madhuram Hum, or its English meaning, I am immortal, I am blissful, or any other mantra that you choose. Your breath or the source of your breath can also be focused on as a concentration point. This system of Transformation Meditation includes all the aspects of other mantra meditation techniques, as well as the observing methods of Mindfulness Meditation, with the added awareness of the Pure Knowingness or space that exists at the source, behind all the thoughts and techniques. It suggests that you de-identify with the changing thoughts in the mind and bring the attention to the Knower. The Knower is the one experiencing or watching all the thoughts and forms. Through this de-identification process you can experience the peace and joy that is your true nature. Instead of only identifying with the mind you also identify with your true Self that is pure, free and forever. Laypeople as well as health care professionals and yoga instructors practice Transformation Meditation and teach meditation to their clients and students. It's not required that you receive a secret mantra, that you keep any secrets, or that you join any organization. The methods are easily integrated into your everyday life. Transformation Meditation also helps you understand the purpose, experience and outcome of meditation: physiologically, psychologically and spiritually. Having this knowledge of meditation will expedite the process, allowing you to have a complete understanding of what is happening in your own mind, body, and nervous system. You'll be free from doubt and able to experience the meditative awareness at any time - the direct knowledge of your true Self - pure, free and forever!
