Concentrative Meditation
Focus on the Universal Heart Mandala below. Consciously try to clear your mind of creeping thoughts. Acknowledge the thoughts if they come into your mind, notice what they are but do not judge them, just gently push them away and return your focus to the mandala. Try to do this for 5 minutes initially, then build up.
This is where we really begin to gain control of the mind and thus we can understand from this how we can create our own realities by the thoughts that we chose.
If you also wish to receive energy whilst doing this meditation, remain open to receiving it - the mandala is energised.
If at any point you feel uncomfortable, stop meditating and ground yourself.

“Remember one thing: meditation means awareness.
Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation.
Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action.
Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly.
Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alertly.
Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness.
Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation
if you remain alert and watchful.”
