Introduction

Power Meditation was developed by our spiritual preceptor during the period of 1986-1998 while he was teaching meditation in Boulder, Colorado and researching the brain-wave patterns of people in various stages of meditation using a Lexicor NRS-24 electroencephalograph.  Power Meditation combines the meditation techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda ("Autobiography of a Yoga") and Goswami Kriyananda (Temple of Kriya Yoga) with those taught by Swami Muktananda (Siddha Yoga), Vivekananda and Ramakrishna (Raja and Jnana Yoga) and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (Transcendental Meditation).

Power Meditation is intended to help students from all walks of life learn who they are, why they incarnated in this lifetime, what they came here to do, when they were here before, where they are to perform their services, which spiritual path is best for them and how to accomplish their life's dreams.  The lessons progress step-by-step through the ten requisites for meditation and how to achieve them.  At the same time, the student is led step-by-step through the ten steps of meditation and communion with the Divine.

The primary purposes of meditation are said to be:

1. Improve one's health

2. Obtain more energy

3. Be happier

4. Be more creative

5. Be more productive

6. Find inner peace

7. Attain Divine Consciousness

Improve One's Health

Power Meditation relaxes our body and mind, slows down our respiration rate and our heart rate, improves the flow of blood throughout our body, increases cell oxygenation, reduces the effects of stress on our organs and bodily systems, improves our digestion and elimination, and enhances our immune system.  It's one of the healthiest things we can do for our bodies, minds and spirits.

By reducing the effects of stress caused by illness and disease, we're able to improve the function of our immune system and thus improve our health.  By improving our circulatory, digestive and elimination systems, we improve our ability to eliminate toxic wastes and thus improve our health.  By increasing oxygenation in our cells, we're better equipped to recover from injury and disease.  We improve the quality of our health.

Obtain More Energy

Better circulation, increased blood flow, reduction of stress, relaxing our body and mind, and improving cell oxygenation results in more available energy to be used for our benefit as we see fit.  More energy is a direct result of improving one's health.

Be Happier

Healthier people are happier than other people.  Energetic people are both healthier and happier than other people.  People who meditate on a regular basis are calmer and happier than other people.  They suffer less from stress than other people.  People are happier when they use Power Meditation than when they don't.  People are happier when they use Power Meditation than when they use other forms of meditation.

Be More Creative

Whatever the reason, people who meditate are more creative than other people.  It may be the additional energy or fewer effects from stress.  It may be improved oxygenation makes us more creative.  It may be that coming into closer communion with the Divine is what makes us more creative.  Whatever the reason, people who meditate are more creative than they were before they started using Power Meditation.

Be More Productive

People are more productive when they meditate than when they don't.  People are more productive when they use Power Meditation than when they use other forms of meditation.  People who meditate are more productive than people who do not.  They concentrate more deeply, focus more sharply, and attend to their tasks more intently.  They have a better capacity for paying attention than people who do not use Power Meditation..

Find Inner Peace

With practice, the peacefulness one experiences when using Power Meditation brings inner peace beyond normal comprehension.  Using any form of meditation yields inner peace.  But those who practice many different forms of meditation claim the inner peace of Power Meditation is deeper and more intense.

Attain Divine Consciousness

Divine Consciousness, or Divine Realization, is the ultimate goal of all meditation.  Experience teaches us we can all attain this state with practice.  It takes some longer than others.  The intention of one who meditates is the most important factor in attaining Divine Consciousness.  The second most important factor is the depth of meditation that can be achieved.  People using Power Meditation claim they attain a deeper state of meditation than with other meditation systems.

Invitation

You may experience the power and depth of Power Meditation before deciding to study this form of meditation by taking our introductory course as our guest.  You are not required to be a member to take the first course.

This is the ancient Sanscrit symbol for the sound of the Universe, the sound of the Divine Mind which we approximate by the word Om, Ohm or Aum.  When we reach deeper states of meditation we begin to hear this sound and then we can give it the correct pronunciation and vibration.  We end each practice by intoning this word a number of times.  Different gurus suggest a different number of repetitions.  Our suggestion is to pick a number that works for you and use it.
