How to Meditate
The actual process, like so many ideas listed in this section, is quite a simple one. Find some way to take yourself away from the everyday - this could mean having a bath, burning incense and candles, bringing in some fresh flowers, playing special music, whatever. Do something to make this a special time.

There are several ways that you can position yourself. Some people like to sit in the traditional lotus position, but I've also heard of others who prefer to sit up straight in a chair. I prefer to lay down.

Either way, the first order of business is to relax. Take a few deep breaths, and allow the stress and negativity of your life to flow out of your body, down into the ground. Allow the white light to fill you up and energize you, as well as cleanse the area.

Your first efforts at this may be frustrating and a little disconcerting. That's perfectly normal - this is a skill, after all. As such, some people may be able to get the hang of it right away, while others may need weeks of practise. Go at your own speed, and what you feel comfortable with.

There are numerous ideas out there for how to get started. Some suggest waiting until you see little pricks of light form out of the darkness, and then jump into the light to see what scenario lay waiting. Others talk about out-of-body experiences, and how to send your soul rocketing through the astral plane.

As usual, I tend to go with the simple method. It may be a bit more difficult to get used to at first, but if you find it too challenging, do some research and find an idea you like better.

Close your eyes, and allow a scene to form in front of you. This is somewhat like daydreaming - allow yourself to be found in a situation. Once there, you can take an active role in what is going on. You are not daydreaming, because you are interacting with other beings of existence. You are not sleeping, because you retain full memory and full cognizance of what's going on. You're not astrally projecting, either, because you are on a plane far above the physical world, one in which you may have difficulty accessing your physical memories (in other words, don't be too surprised if you can't remember your phone number).


Another Method
The following is a suggestion that I received through e-mail, which some may find helpful:


Sit down as you would for meditation, and relax your mind for about 5-15 minutes. When you're completely relaxed, close your eyes, and start to join with "everything and nothing". I know this sounds weird, but if you simply ask to do this, it will happen. When the connection is made, throw yourself "back" not necessarily in time, but this is what is implied. When you stop (and it will be suddenly) you will find yourself in a place that is probably empty. Call out that you want to meet your anscestors. These may be people you know, or not, but probably. Then, when they arrive, ask them to show you your spirit guide, then find out it's name.
It sounds simple, but it took me a few tries. The best advice I can give you is have faith in your own "astral" abilities.


Getting Started With Guided Meditations
Below are listed some guided meditations which you may find helpful. You can follow them exactly, by making a recording of them and listening to it while you meditate, or use them to get some ideas of what you could be doing.


Meditation One

There is darkness all around you. Suddenly, you notice a soft light off in the distance, to your right. You gaze at it for a few moments, wondering if this could be. This first light is soon accompanied by one on the left - it glows with the same strength, radiating a warm, inviting light.

You'd like to go over to the lights, to find out what they are, but you can't figure out how to get there. You seem to be floating in a dark ocean - slowly swaying from side to side. Then it occurs to you - you have a body here, which you can move. You stick your hands out in front of you, look down at your legs, touch your face. Your body is real, relaxed, energized.

You spend a few moments examining this new body. You wave your arms, swing your legs back and forth, and nod your head - the idea that you're floating free of gravity doesn't even seem to matter.

Suddenly your games are interrupted - you hear your name being called. Actually, you never hear a voice - it's more like you know that someone's calling you. But who? And why?

You look up. Your question is answered - your guide is standing in front of you. However, you're no longer in the darkness - you're standing on a grassy plain. The sun is shining, with a great blue sky over you. The long grass seems to go on and on for miles with its gentle waves and ripples. This too, reminds you of an ocean - except that you're now standing on solid ground.

Your guide calls your attention once more, you look up - and they begin to speak.

Meditation Two

There is darkness all around you. You are floating in some kind of dark oblivion - but just when you begin to wonder if nothing's going to happen, a scene begins to come into view. You watch it unfold, a curious observer, and perhaps participant in this strange new situation.

The first impression you get is that of rocks. Great, giant boulders - no, actually, now that you look more closely, you can see it's really some cliffs. You look down at your feet, and see that you're standing on rocky ground. You look up again, and this time you're able to see more.

You're standing on the edge of a small cliff, overlooking a great rocky valley. There's not much vegetation here, except for a few scraggly trees, some weeds, and lots of grass. You look up, and see the great blue sky - there's a couple of clouds gently floating by, and you watch them momentairily.

However, you're soon distracted by the new place you've discovered, and the new body you currently have control of. You tentatively take that first step, and find that this body works very much like your physical one. You walk a short distance away from the cliffs, through the grass. You laugh, and are startled at the sound of your new voice, but you can't help it. The long grass is sweeping against your feet and legs, and it tickles.

After you compose yourself, you examine your new body more. You stamp your feet on the ground, wave your hands in the air, shout out loud, and even jump up and down a few times. It's pretty exciting, and you have a good time playing.

Suddenly, there's a noise off in the distance. Still a little unsure about your surrondings, you're hesitant to go explore. The noise happens again, but curiosity overcomes any fears you once had.

You walk back to the cliffs, to see if the noise is eminating from the valley. You don't see anything at first, so you try to call out. "Heeelllooo!" No one answers except for the echo of your own voice. You call out again, but nothing. Once more - just for good measure - you shout out again.

This time, a voice replies - from behind you. A voice says, "hello." A bit scared at first, you realize that this must be your guide. All fears and anxieties seem to melt away from you, and you slowly turn around to greet them once more.

Meditation Three

You slowly become aware that you are floating in a dark space - a blackness which seems to have no end and no beginning.

Suddenly, you see a light flicker, far off in the distance. In fact, for a few moments you're not even sure if you saw anything - but just then, you see it again, but this time in the corner of your eye. The flashes grow more frequent, until it seems as though you're bathed in light. You put your hands over your eyes as the intensity of the experience grows, only to remove them, revealing the strangest scene.

You look up, and all you see are trees. You look down, and all you see is dirt - you are standing on a dirt path, in the middle of the forest. You reach down and touch the ground - it feels cool. You run your hands through the moist earth, then jump up. Your new body feels energized - you feel relaxed, yet excited, and calm, but ecstatic.

You run up next to a tree, and although you first touch it gently, you soon feel the urge to hug it. You wrap your arms around this great old soul, and squeeze it as hard as you can. For a moment, it feels like the tree is hugging you back.

You find yourself running up and down the path, touching the trees, hugging them, and communicating with them in a way you'd never imagined before.

After playing this game for a while, you notice a huge, old tree near a bend in the path. You wonder why you hadn't seen it before - this one seems to have more personality than the others. Its roots have pushed out of the ground, declaring its territory. There are knarls along the branches, which extend gracefully up into the sky. None of the other trees seem to touch this one.

Quietly, almost reverently, you walk towards it. You stand in front of it for a moment before you dash forward to hug this one too. This time it's different though - it doesn't feel as hard, as solid as the other trees. In fact, the trunk feels soft, flexible - and warm.

The tree has turned into your guide. You relax a bit as your guide hugs you back. Then, slowly, you lean your head back to see what your guide looks like - and to listen to what they say.

Web of Love

Strengthening the Love that Flows Between Us All

Established 03/03/03

The Web of Love is an energetic web which connects the divine essence of all beings on this planet. In that deepest part of our beings, each of us is a beautiful, divine essence filled with love. The Web of Love, though invisible to our eyes, literally surrounds and envelops our planet and all who live here. We are all interconnected by divine love. It is up to each of us how much we choose to be aware of this connection.


We are all capable of giving and receiving limitless amounts of love. Many of us have forgotten this and ended up feeling alone or uncared for in our lives. This website is a call to remember our true nature. It is a call to join together in sharing the abundance of love that flows within and between us all through consciously connecting with the Web of Love!

Connecting with the Web

Breathing the Web. Here is a simple, yet powerful way of connecting with the Web of Love through breath. Close your eyes for a minute and visualize or feel the web connecting the deepest essence in all beings on the planet. We recommend placing your hands over the center of your chest as you do this.

Now, while taking a slow, deep inhale, say to yourself: Your sacred love flows in to me. Then slowly exhale while thinking and feeling: My sacred love flows out to you.

Repeat this a few times now while opening your heart fully to all the love present. Notice how you feel afterwards. Yes, let the love flow!!! Doing this for just a minute or less can really shift us into a more loving space!

There may be times when you want to breathe with the web, but can't remember the words used above. "Love me, love you," is all you need to feel the web. You can create your own sayings, too, with words that are more meaningful to you. The most important element is your intention to connect with all people on this good planet through the Web of Love.

Bringing the Web into the World. If you are ready to deeply transform your whole life, consider taking the Web of Love out into your every day world. You might start your day upon awakening and end your day just before sleeping with the above exercise. Throughout the day you can breathe the Web of Love while doing your daily activities. As you start your day at work, or whenever you feel stressed, take a minute to stop and breathe in the love of the web and of everyone around you. Then on the exhale, breathe your love out to all. You can do it with your eyes open or closed.

You can breathe the web while waiting at a stoplight, with the checker at the checkout stand, or as you pass someone on the street. Simply open to feeling the web and the love deep within anyone you meet and breathe that in. Then, on the out breath, send your love out to the web and to anyone around you. Each time we open to this connection and practice it, we strengthen the love both in ourselves and in the web! All of this can be done in less than a minute, yet as you practice it more and more, don't be surprised if you find your life transforming in big ways!

Breathing the Web With a Friend

Once you are comfortable with this exercise on your own, consider going to greater depth with a friend. You can do it with your eyes closed, but it's even deeper when you both keep your eyes open. Gazing into each other's eyes, feel the love while breathing together: Your sacred love flows in to me. My sacred love flows out to you. It doesn't matter that you might both be breathing love in or out at the same time. Just let it flow however feels best to you both. Once you feel complete with your friend, don't forget to take a minute to close your eyes and share the love you've just generated with all beings on the planet! Great stuff!!!

For a variety of other empowering exercises and interesting ways to strengthen your connection with the web, go to Ideas and Exercises at http://www.weboflove.org/ideas

Together, we are transforming ourselves and our planet with love!

Joint Effort

The Web of Love website was designed to be a joint effort by all who feel a resonance with this loving connection. Though the Web of Love is eternal, this website is still very young. We warmly welcome any ideas and suggestions you have on developing this empowering project. We know that there are infinite ways that we can strengthen this web around the planet and strengthen our personal connections with the web. Please help us to develop it.

srimad bhagavatam 1.1.1.

O my Lord, Srî Krishna, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Sri Krishna because He is The Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmâjî, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen in water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Sri Krishna who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.

MEDITACIJA V SVETEM GAJU

To je dan ucenja…

Cas, da se sprostimo in pozabimo na napetosti…

Globoko zajamimo sapo… sprostimo se in pocasi izdihnemo…

Sprostimo se; stopala imamo na tleh, da se povežemo z mati Zemljo…

Zopet vzdihnemo; vzdihnemo belo svetlobo ljubezni in zašcite…

Obcutimo kako prodira v vsak organ, vsako celico, vsako molekulo telesa…

Sapo zadržujemo 4 srcne utripe in nato izdihnemo…in z izdihom… Obcutimo kako zginevajo skrbi, napetosti in strahovi današnjega dne…


Še enkrat vzdihnemo in dovolimo beli svetlobi ljubezni, da nas obda in zašciti pred vsemi poškodbami…

Sapo zadržujemo 4 srcne utripe in nato izdihnemo…

Predstavljajmo si, da stojimo na bujnem travniku…

Visoka zelena trava raste in se približa našim kolenom, obcutimo hlad in svežino jutranje rose…

Medtem, ko bolšcimo v travnik, se dviguje jutranja megla, ki razkriva tisoce in tisoce divjih rož…


V zraku je vonj svežine in cistine; nikjer ni nobenih sledi onesnaženja…
Samo sladek cvetni parfum …

Medtem, ko stojimo tam, nas pozdravijo glasovi razlicnih živali…


Na desni slišimo šelest metulja, ko leti cez polje…

Na levi je zvok cebel, ki nabirajo cvetni prah…
In cvrcanje crickov…

Pred nami je steza, ki vodi skozi visoko travo…

Odlocimo se, da ji bomo sledili, da vidimo kam vodi…
Medtem, ko se odpravljamo, opazimo, da je steza ravna in dobro shojena…


Ko sledimo stezi, nam narava, povsod okoli nas, kaže njene najlepše lastnosti…

Nebo je modro in polno belih napihnjenih oblakov…
Spominjajo nas na velik kup smetane…

Sonce nam greje hrbet, ko vzhaja za nami… poljublja naše vratove, medtem ko hodimo naprej…

Dalec naprej zagledamo vrata, ki ležijo poprek steze… za trenutek se nam zdijo majhna…


Ko se steza bliža vratom, postane vijugasta in ovinkasta….


Opazimo potok, ki veselo tece poleg steze in takoj slišimo veselo žuborenje vode…

Koncno dosežemo vrata… Opazimo, da stezo križajo,  navadna lesena vrata, vendar ne vidimo na nobeni strani ograje…

Radovedno zbujeni odpremo vrata in stopimo skozi…


Nenadoma opazimo, da je travnik izginil…

Najdemo stezo, ki stoji na robu ogromnega gozda…


Ce pogledamo nazaj, vidimo samo prazno steno…


Sonce nam še vedno sije nad glavo, vendar je bolj pozno podnevi…


Vemo, da moramo slediti stezi v gozd…
Za trenutek obstojimo, zbujeni, a ne prestrašeni…
To je pustolovšcina in bo gotovo zanimivo…


Zašli smo globlje v gozd in opazili, da je tudi potok vstopil v gozd…

Veselo vijuga poleg steze… za trenutek se ustavimo in spijemo požirek vode…


Je najbolj cista, ki smo jo kadarkoli okusili; sladka in skoraj ledeno mrzla… Taka je, kot bi pritekla z vrha ledenika…

Steza še naprej vijuga, globlje in globlje v gozd…


Drevesne veje se formirajo v baldahin, ko hodimo globlje in globlje…


V daljavi se pojavi svetlo obmocje…hodimo proti svetlobi… medtem, ko hodimo proti svetlobi, opazimo, da je potok izginil…


Gozd se odpre v jaso… opazimo, da je velik, skoraj popolen krog…

V samem središcu te okrogle jase vidimo ribnik… Prstan velikanskih kamnov obkroža ta posvecen ribnik…


Sprehodimo se proti ribniku in strmimo v svoj odsev na vodi…



Vzemimo si nekaj casa, da pogledamo kaj vidimo…


Koncamo s strmenjem v posvecen ribnik, dano nam je razumeti znamenje…


Sedaj namestimo govoreco palico na osrednji kamen…


Koncamo z gledanjem posvecenega ribnika in si delimo kar smo videli…


Vzemimo si cas, da se spomnimo in globoko vdihnemo, zacnemo šteti nazaj od 5…


5… zavemo se, da si bomo zapomnili to pustolovšcino…


4… zavemo se, da se lahko tja kadarkoli vrnemo, s sprošcanjem in vizualizacijo travnika in steze…


3… Sedaj se vracamo v sedanjost, pocutimo se sprošcene, brez stresa in ponovno oživljene…


2… Vidimo, da sveti gaj zacanja migljati in izginjati v svetlobi…


1… Sedaj smo v sedanjosti… sprošceni…okrepljeni in neobremenjeni, še vedno ojacani…


Hvala vam, da ste mi dopustili, da sem vas vodila v Sveti gaj…


Vsem skupaj najsvetlejše blagoslove…
