Meditation tapping into cosmic energies (Part Three)

Beyond religious beliefs there are also many forms of meditation that are aiming at tapping into cosmic energy. Mindfulness or meditation practices across cultures look to channel these cosmic, divine, or universal forces. 

The idea is to align the individual with a greater spiritual force, whether it's called Chi, Prana, the Holy Spirit, or simply “cosmic consciousness.” The table below displays some of the most prominent types of meditations using universal energies. 

All these practices offer common threads, like breath and stillness, using breathing as a gateway to subtle energy. 

There’s also visualization and intention as many techniques involve imagining light, energy, or divine presence flowing through the body. 

Sounds can be used too, through mantras, chants, or prayers that are often used to attune the mind to higher frequencies. 

Finally, many of the movement-based meditations like Tai Chi or Qigong are there to integrate body and spirit. 

As my meditation practice evolved and thank also to good luck, as that pathway is difficult to enter, my own meditation practice has evolved into the realm of cosmic energy and over time, appears to have helped me a lot with my personal mental balance, natural energy, good health and creativity.
