Meditation on Emptiness
Meditation on emptiness means to meditate ‘without content’. To our mind, emptiness appears like death. The mind fears death, and so it will fill up with thoughts, images, dreams, illusions – anything at all. In your centre, you are no-thingness. You are an infinitely blissful and joyful space of silence. You are neither the body nor the mind. You are Infinite Consciousness. Meditation is the process of taking away all objects which are ‘objecting’ you. It is emptying the content which you hold inside.
When you meditate on emptiness, you will live a true life; you will enjoy it, love it, and be it. You will be able to carry that emptiness with you, everywhere. There will no longer be thoughts about the self and others; no contemplation around situations; no concentration on specific objects – only awareness. If you are walking, there is only walking. If you are sitting, there is only sitting. If you are talking, there is only talking. If you are looking, there is only looking.
At first, it might seem difficult. However, the more you are aware of your chattering mind, and the emptiness beyond, the more effect this meditation will have. Beyond every noise there is only silence. Beyond every object there is only emptiness. You need to see, experience, and sense everything as emptiness – your body, thoughts, people, objects, sensations – everything as being empty. You are always surrounded by emptiness, both on the inside and the outside. Everything is empty; your witnessing creates the fullness. When all attachments disappear, and all your desires are gone – when there is no longer anything to witness – then the witness will become the witness. When there is nothing left to see, the witness will effortlessly begin to witness itself. When there is nothing left to meditate upon, you are in pure meditation. You are the Infinite Consciousness.

Awareness of One Breath
BREATH
Breath and breathing are fundamental to life. Our breath is sacred. There are no two beings who breathe alike. The quality of breath is a primary indicator of the quality of life. Without adequate breath, there is no health. The flow of the individual’s breath is, therefore, paramount in issues of health – especially mental and emotional health. Over time, we learn bad habits such as holding our breath, breathing shallowly, or hyperventilating. Shallow breathing is one of the most fundamental and instinctive behavioral reactions to emotion. Anxiety, fear, anger, shame and sadness are all manifested in the rate, depth and facility of breathing. The depth of breath is generally an accurate barometer of tension. In order to breathe deeply, you must be relaxed.
Healthy breathing requires complete inhalation and exhalation with smooth transitions between the two. Where there is deep ebb and flow of breath, with no holding of breath, there is relaxation and awareness in the body. Your breathing directly reflects the level of tension you carry in your body. When you are under tension, your breathing usually becomes shallow and rapid. When you are relaxed, you breathe more fully, more deeply, and from the bottom of your lungs.
Fresh air and proper breathing are essential to overall health and vitality. Breathing, for the most beneficial effects, should be done through the nostrils because this is healthier and more vitalizing to our entire energy system. Breathing through the mouth makes an individual more receptive to illness. While you are breathing, you are not only birthing oxygen, hydrogen and other gases in form of air, you are breathing vitality, prana, the energy of oneness, the essence of all. The air is only gas, the prana is the essence.

AWARENESS OF ONE BREATH.
“If you can be aware of your breath for a single hour, you will be enlightened.” Buddha
Who is breathing? Love is in the breath. Life is in the breath. The Divine is in the breath. When you are breathing, oneness is breathing. The whole is created out of one breath. The one breath is beyond normal breathing, it is in the interval between breathing in and breathing out. The whole existence was created out of one breathe. When you exhale air – explosion. When you inhale air – implosion. In the middle – nothingness, just the one breathe of the Infinite Consciousness. One breath is encoded in your DNA as the eternal truth; the perfect union with oneness.
Be aware of your breath. You don’t have to change your way of breathing, just be aware of it. Breathe naturally as you always do. Breathe in and out, in and out. Be fully aware. Be aware of the gap – of the interval between the breath.
The incoming breath and the outgoing breath – the gap – the centre of your Being;
The outgoing breath and the incoming breath – the gap – the centre of the Universe.
In and out. You will start to lose meaning, and become aware of the one centre. With each breath, you invite oxygen into every cell of your being. You invite full awareness. You invite Light. Oxygen enters cell by cell, until your entire being is a big bonfire of awareness. The Whole breathes with you, and you breathe with the Whole.

Sacred Geometry Meditation
Instructions for Sacred Geometry Meditation
1. Hang the Sacred Geometry symbol somewhere so that its centre is at the level of your eyes.
2. Sit on a chair holding your spine straight; if this is not possible, find the most comfortable position.
3. Breathe in and out slowly. Let the breath flow naturally.
4. Look into the centre of the Sacred Geometry symbol, trying to not blink if you can; just keep your sight right in the centre, at the point.
5. Look at least for 15 minutes.
6. Close your eyes.
7. Let the Sacred Geometry gradually guide you towards the ultimate energies within.
8. The Sacred Geometry will absorb your complete awareness, and you will not be able to tell if the Sacred Geometry symbol is within yourself or if you are within the Sacred Geometry; this is the state of ONE completion.
9. Be Creative and Grateful.
