‘Moving as Being’ Standing Meditation
“Letting Go of conscious control of one’s body”
I recommend doing this meditation after ‘spiritual awakening’ as it allows you to practice ‘moving as being’, or letting go of moving yourself using voluntary control of body muscles using one’s mind. If you have not experienced a spiritual awakening yet, don’t let that stop you, if you are drawn to try it – go ahead – one must first and foremost follow one’s heart. Given how this technique is primarily a meditation and is done standing, it is thus powerful and will benefit anyone if they do it. All by itself, it is a powerful meditation, and can further your healing and spiritual awakening process.
The transformation healing process of human beings, is an evolutionary one and we are all within it at different stages, whether it is at level of pre-awakening, spiritual awakening or kundalini transformation, the process has at it’s root that of changing one’s body and mind (nervous system) away from a duality nervous system (split body, left/right brain, reflected world) response to ultimately one of spontaneous, unified, non-reflected and direct reaction to one’s environment. These changes in the body happen gradually over time and by themselves every time when one enters the state of no-mind or deep meditation, as when energy is withdrawn from the brain (one is not using it), it is only then that changes to the organization of the brain itself can be done. These episodes of no-mind activity can happen in other ways besides that of deliberate meditation or spiritual practices. They can happen in a trauma, a shock, by looking at extreme beauty or nature as well as meditation – what they all have in common is a sudden onset of forgetting oneself totally; one’s mind goes totally quiet. In this space one is changed.
Normally changes in the body due to one’s continued daily meditation practices of growing ‘higher awareness’ are subtle, yet one can detect ‘larger events’ when they have happened (due to going deeper or for extended periods into no-mind meditation) with amazing experiences such as enhanced 3D vision, periods of elevated zooming energy, increased insight and visions, enhanced hearing, clarity, reduced reactivity, calmness, blissful feeling, seeing lights and hearing tones in the ears – to name a few. All these symptoms are signs of the nervous system being changed, and you notice them because you are observing and it’s strange… These symptoms result from the changes taking place as the nervous system is being changed, and is caused by you having stayed quiet in mind for a length of time preceding it. After you’ve experienced these effects you will know that you have been profoundly changed.
The other thing you will note is these experiences and qualities of senses and enhanced perception don’t last, they tend to pop up and then fade, yet not go away completely, you are still changed and insights gained during the experience are never lost. The minimum is self-knowledge gained is always retained so that can’t ever be lost, but gains in awareness in body can decline if one stops doing effective meditation.
This decline in awareness or perception has to do with the aging process which happens because one does not have sufficient energy above one’s normal operating level (vibration) of ‘conditioned response or habitual behavior’ to keeps one’s body in a state of homeostasis not to mention to heal further. To continue to nurture the growing or healing process of higher levels of awareness or states of better health, then one must elevate one’s overall bodily vibration to a higher level than one is used to operating at. To heal one needs more energy than one normally has, and this is the basis for all healing modalities, in some way they increase your efficiency which increases your bodies vibration. The increased vibration is the same as a surplus of energy, and then this surplus is used by your higher being or healer to make a change to your system. The same thing happens each night when we go to sleep; we all know that when we sleep our body heals. This is because when we get deep sleep, then our mind rests and our healer takes over and does repair. The reason why sleep is not enough to push us to further levels of healing and transformation is we don’t get in enough minutes or time in ‘deep sleep’. Knowing this information about healing, then we can choose to get in more time in the ‘no-mind’ state, which is the same as ‘giving up time for our healer to operate’, during our waking hours, simply by being willing to do our daily meditation sessions.
Energy healing techniques then are an obvious modality to use to increase our operating vibration as long as they are done ‘meditatively’. The more energy you give your system, the higher you raise your vibration, you provide the perfect condition for your ‘higher self’ (‘YOU’) to take over, which what ‘YOU’ do first is then ‘quiet your mind’ and then when that’s done, then ‘YOU’ makes changes to your body while the mind is resting. I know that who YOU is can get confusing…. At first when you enter deep meditative state and your mind is quiet then it can feel like you’ve lost yourself and/or if your body is moving on it’s own, it can seem like another person is doing it. Rather this is you doing it, you just don’t know yourself as that person yet. Gradually it dawns on you, as the process continues, that you are in a state of transition, and more and more you feel like ‘YOU’ versus ‘you’.
One may be able to intuit that the end result of the metamorphosis one is undergoing (to full awareness in body) is to be able to ‘move as being’ full time, not having to think about it. Thus this exercise is a transition exercise, which benefits by allowing you to get used to not having to move yourself and react to stimuli with your mind, as well it accelerates healing of your body by opening larger body parts (releasing huge amounts of held energy tensions in muscles and joints) with the free form movements and is a good meditation practice. All these benefits from doing this exercise daily will further your transformation process on all levels.
The further along your spiritual awakening or kundalini transformation process is, then the more your nervous system has been changed already, which will then result in greater amount of spontaneous body movement without using the mind over time. Yet, this should not be seen as a goal, rather one should accept oneself where one is and not expect anything to happen with this exercise. Standing meditation by itself is powerful, as when one is erect and standing; the electromagnetic energy in our body between the earth and the cosmos is highest with the spine straight as we are built like a lightening rod. Before doing this exercise I did one year of sungazing, which is basically a standing meditation with the focal point of simply gazing at the sun (in low UV hours only). Because one is standing on earth barefoot and also in the sun, then one’s body soaks up sun and earth energy and this raises one’s body vibration. You can find out more about sungazing here.
Therefore just standing meditation alone will activates one’s energy centers and one’s vibration will increase, which by itself is a good result. What movement results or not from doing this exercise is not an indicator one is doing it right or not, as many times your higher self will determine that just a pure stand is what you need. I’ve often stood for the whole hour and not moved, but one will notice that there is working energy in the body and one’s vibration overall is rising. To say it clearer: for this time slot ‘you’ are giving up control and expectations to do anything and allowing your body to be ‘moved by being’ – if this is what is needed. Thus whatever happens is exactly as it should be, what ‘you’ want or expect has nothing to do with it.
For those who are already experiencing periodic and regular kundalini symptoms, I feel this meditation will be conducive to encouraging the spontaneous yoga like movements known as kriyas, which I understand to be healing stretches done by your ‘higher self’ to release tension or held energy in restricted areas of the bodies tissues (muscles, ligaments, fascia, tendons and bones).
