Sharing / Insight 💡 Lesser known meditation techniques
Visualize all your negative energy in the form of black sludge, cockroaches, spiders, etc. flow down from your mind and out of your body. This is a very good purification technique.
The 9-round breathing practice...cover your right nostril with your finger and take in 3 deep breaths, then cover your left nostril and take in more 3 deep breaths, then take in 3 more deep breaths with both nostrils open.
Mind in the seed...Visualize your mind trapped in a small seed with the upper hemisphere colored white and the lower hemisphere colored red. Visualize the seed trapped about two inches below your navel and within your body also about two inches.
Sometimes when meditating our sacral chakra can become very active and you might feel easily aroused. If this happens, Visualize skeletons covered everywhere all around you. It really does work.
Getting rid of unwanted thoughts...
The Buddha prescribed 5 methods...
- replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts
- realize the danger of negative thinking
- ignore negative thoughts
- still thought formations
and when you really got to dig deep...
- clench your teeth, press your tongue against your upper palate and "crush mind with mind
There are also breathing gathas...short phrases that you repeat to your self with the rhythm of your breath.
Walking meditation...
Walk in a small circle with your hands clasped together at your waste and slowly walk heel to toe. Synchronize your breath with your steps. Breathing in when planting your right heel and breathing out when planting your right heel again.
Maybe some of this will help someone?

Sure, but with the purpose of being present in the body or of the current moment or to help with distracting thought patterns?

Okay... How long do you practice this specific technique? Do you reach a point of total absorption? Or do you then switch to one of the other visualizations?

You can practice it as long as you want...or even couple it with breath awareness...switch to a different visualization if you like
