What is Meditation? Where to Begin?
The first thing often referred to as meditation is what we call meditative practices. These include various energy flows, techniques to calm the mind and concentrate, affirmations, and even egregore-based practices that involve rituals like prayers or attunements.
These practices have a beginning and an end: you prepare for them, engage in the practice, then return to your normal life.
However, this isn’t truly inner work or deep meditation—it's more of a preparation for it.
The next stage of meditation involves observing your breath, body posture, thoughts, and emotions. In this phase, the practice extends throughout your waking life, dividing your awareness into two states: moments when you are awake and conscious of the practice (actively engaging in inner work) and moments when you fall into forgetfulness or distraction.
At this point, something fascinating occurs—you begin to notice that you’re awake, but also see that you’re "asleep" in certain ways. This is where you start to connect with your inner observer, who perceives a distance between your true self and your thoughts, emotions, and mechanical reactions.
This is the moment of awakening, where awareness emerges in the form of an observer who begins to focus on itself.
Of course, this kind of insight can happen at any stage of meditation.
The next stage is when your connection with your inner observer becomes constant and unbroken.
At this point, meditation becomes a continuous presence in your life, and you can enter a meditative state simply through intention. Even when you’re not actively intending to meditate, the connection remains, waiting in the background, ready to surface.
You can start with the first or second stage—by practicing meditation, observing your breath, and paying attention to your thoughts.
But remember, meditation may or may not happen.
To begin, I always recommend the practice of "Hollow Bamboo." This is a simple meditation for beginners, done while sitting with uncrossed legs. Anyone can do it.
As you dive deeper into "Hollow Bamboo" and other meditative practices, you may discover fragmentation within yourself—many subpersonalities and psycho-emotional blockages. Just as the mind shapes the psyche, stress creates physical tensions in the body, forming osteopathic imbalances, which lead to dysfunctions and disorders.
By using meditation and attunement as tools for energy and transformation, and observing yourself, you gradually dissolve these inner divisions. Through this process, you come to understand who you truly are.
At this stage, when the internal divisions have faded, and you continue your inner work, you enter a state of true meditation—one of silence, inner harmony, peace of mind, intuition, and deep wisdom about yourself and the world around you.
Only then does the activation of your inner mental force begin, along with its growth and development, which have no limits.
