There are many meditation techniques intended to bring about a higher level of consciousness. Some techniques rely on the breath and the gap between breaths to help us quiet the mind and move beyond it. There are techniques where we experience intense feelings like love toward our mothers and then translate that feeling into love of strangers. Other techniques focus on emptying the mind and focusing on one thing. In this method, we give the mind something to do so that our higher self can connect to the spiritual realms without distraction. There are many more meditation techniques that offer the opportunity, with the necessary daily practice, to bring us to higher levels of consciousness.

      In the Paramita Path you learn meditations that are based on the spiritual heart rather than the mind. In these meditations you open your spiritual heart to the Love of the Creator. As you open your heart to love the Creator, you open your heart to love all beings. From your heart, this space of infinite possibilities, you bring in the Light that will assist you to embrace the Love of God and dissolve in the Love at the center of your being. Love is at the core of the Paramita Path teachings and filling your heart with Love is an essential practice for healing, prayer, meditation and other spiritual pursuits. We teach a variety of more extensive meditation techniques in our workshops and some of these guided meditations are available on CD’s.

      The following are short audio meditations to help you get started in activating and opening your spiritual heart and beginning to feel the Love of the Creator. As you open your heart, you will be filled with love, peace and joy.

      To enhance your meditation experience, light an incense stick and a candle. Sit in a comfortable position, with your feet flat on the floor. You can also sit on a cushion in the lotus position. Place your hands on your lap, palms facing upwards. This will allow the energy to flow through your body. Close your eyes and enjoy the peace in your heart.
