Hey everyone. I’m really interested in learning more about meditation. I just read James Ray’s book Harmonic Wealth and have been practicing his four categories of meditation: Focusing/Visualization, Listening/Watching, Static Transcendence, and Mobile Transcendence. He lists a bunch of ways to access each category in his book (page 309), but I’m still having some issues. I have listened to some meditation DVDs in the past and have been able to get into that space pretty easily, but I’m having a much harder time focusing in on my own. Any tips for how to tune in without the help of an audio track?
I plan on attending Quantum Leap in the fall, so hopefully he’ll teach me some more techniques there, but I’d really like to keep meditating before then and make some progress. If you are interested, check out his website: http://www.jamesray.com or http://www.harmonicwealth.com.
Help!
