Hi everyone, this is Dr. John Demartini.
When I was 17 years old and I met Paul Bragg that one special night that changed
my life. That was my first introduction to meditation.
I actually got introduced to alpha meditation at the time,
and I get asked quite often, as I travel around the world,
What meditation technique do I use? Well,
the first time I ever did meditation without even really knowing anything about
it, I did alpha meditation,
which is basically bringing your mind into an alpha state and getting poise and
present and allowing the noise to calm down. Well, from that night on,
I was interested in this topic.
And so I started taking yoga classes and I had this woman guru who was basically
a teacher of meditation that I used this T-bar and practiced this technique.
And then I ended up going with Maharishi and took up TM many years back in 75.
And over the years,
various meditational techniques came along and I would go and attend the classes
or listen in on it or study that and read about it.
And all of them were helpful, all of them had a use.
And I think that there's no harm in exploring all of them,
but I think it's unwise to get attached and say,
this is the one and everything else is not true.
This is the one of enlightenment, et cetera. I think that's an exaggeration.
I think it's wise to master the use of your mind and master the use of a
transcendent state and also practical focus state when it comes to meditation.
Today, I may meditate on a plane,
flying from one country to the next and just sit there in my position and go
into an altered state, an alpha theta state, if you will.
And all of a sudden tune in, and get present.
And so there's many different things you can do for meditation,
but don't get so attached to it, your body's gotta be a certain position,
or you've got to do that because it really,
it's not about how your body's positioned, although that helps,
that's not really the limiting factor of it.
What matters is your mind becomes poised and present and purposeful and powerful
and patiently purposeful. So let's just take a look at it.
I like to narrow down meditation to two basic forms.
What I call creature meditation, and creator meditation.
Creature meditation is what I call a passive receptivity of the mind to the
universe.
And when you're in a state of gratitude and you see the order and you're able to
have the synthesis and synchronicity of opposites in your mind at the same time,
which the Demartini Method can help you do,
as I've explained in the Breakthrough Experience,
this allows your mind to get the noise out.
Cause all the noise in the brain is all emotional lopsided perceptions that you
keep storing and don't neutralize and clear.
That's why I created the Demartini Method, to help people do meditation,
without having to do meditation,
clearing all the baggage so you have a poised mind regularly,
a normal way of thinking.
But all that emotional baggage keeps that noise in the brain and meditation
allows you to kind of still the waters of the brain, you might say.
Well doing the Demartini Method calms that,
so you go into meditation really easily,
but the more you're present and the more you know how to neutralize and ask
questions in the mind to bring that noise back into center.
All of a sudden you're in a creature state where you're basically passive
receptive vehicle for inspired ideas, inspired visions,
inspired messages, inspired states.
In that luminated state,
because of our breathing is in balance and our mind is in balance and our
state of consciousness is present,
we receive some of the most inspired and greatest ideas.
If we document those and write them down and write inspired writings,
if you will, and get the messages we do and log it,
then we activate creator meditation where we actually now concentrate on
ever finer details of the creation of what we just received.
And now we've taken that passive receptive creature state and turned into an
active, assertive creator state.
We're taking what we received and now we're concentrating what inspires us and
bring it into reality.
The creator meditation is basically becoming ever finer in detail and ever more
present with the image that we receive in our creature meditation and creating
that into our reality. So we become a conduit from an inspired state,
into an inspired life. The creature and the creator, the passive,
and the assertive and active,
the receiving and the broadcasting of an inspired state helps you master
your mind, self govern your life and allows you to reduce the stress levels,
be more well in life and allows you to be in a sense, the master.
