Preparation 2. Concentration

CHAPTER TWO

1. Preparation 2. Concentration

3. Awareness 4. Manifestation

Phase One: Preparation

In Phase One, you follow the sequence of meditation cues. You relax and align your posture, smile and breathe consciously, and imagine and feel your energetic anatomy. As you are able to do these four things well, you will move into the concentration phase, which is Phase Two.

You will know that you have achieved proficiency in Phase One when your body is relaxed, your mind is calm, and your emotions are balanced.

You will feel de-stressed and pleasantly at ease.

Phase Two: Concentration

In the Concentration Phase, you feel life energy strongly and it attracts your attention so that you can focus intently. When you feel life energy strongly, it’s easy to keep your attention focused in that feeling within any area of your body.

Life energy will often feel warm or cool, tingly or electric, full or empty.

The quality of feeling depends upon what is going on in the area that you are focusing on. “Allow” whatever feeling is happening without trying to change it. Your inner intelligence knows what to do. By practicing Core Energy Meditation™ you will learn to sense and trust your inner guidance.

You are proficient in the Concentration Phase when you can focus exclusively on a point, pattern, or energetic space in your body. You have mastered Phase Two when your attention is unwavering and the feeling of life energy is clear. Your concentration skills will carry over into your

life. You will be able to control your attention at will. You will be able to stay focused on what you want in your life and release what you don’t want. When your concentration is strong, you will move into the Awareness Phase.

Phase Three: Awareness

In the Awareness Phase, you become aware of “awareness itself” within any space that you have placed your attention. This is a more detached form of observation that arises from your concentration on specific energetic spaces.

When you reach this depth in your meditation, you will experience a great sense of inner freedom and peace. There is no mental chatter.

Your subconscious, mental-emotional, reactive patterns have fallen away.

They have lost their grip on your attention.

In this phase, you transcend your subconscious conditioning and connect with a deeper level of your being. You experience yourself as pure consciousness beyond form. Released from the perceived limits of individuality, you experience the open, clear, spacious awareness of the One Life that we all share. You attune to the Universal Field.

At this point, you are in a Core Energy State: your energy is strong, positive, clear, and coherent. Your vibration is raised to the highest level.

Once you are freed from perceived personal limits, you can freely manifest what your soul truly desires—your core possibilities, what you are here to do now.

Phase Four: Manifestation

In the Manifestation Phase, you first sense your core possibilities and then mentally project them into reality. To do this, you imagine, visualize, and feel them as present realities, as already manifested in the real world. You use all your senses to experience what life is like when

what you desire at the core of your being is realized. The ability to do this effectively comes from the inner freedom and the ability to imagine and feel that you’ve gained in the previous phases of your meditation practice.

When you are in a Core Energy State, you are in the perfect position to put the Law of Attraction to work for you. From your state of strong, positive, clear coherence you imagine and feel the full detailed reality of what you truly desire. Then you let your image go, trust the Universe to provide what is best for all, and take the core heart feelings of appreciation, gratitude, and trust with you into your day.

Core Energy Meditation™ is designed with scientifically proven cues that facilitate all four phases of meditation. If you practice consistently, the benefits unfold naturally. As with anything, you get out of it what you put into it.

The path of energetic meditation is well-established by 3000 years of ancient wisdom and a growing body of modern scientific research. After 23 years of study, teaching, and practice, I have refined this technique down to the essence of what you need for your own health, success, and whole-body enlightenment. Below you will find some more tips to help you get the most out of your practice.

More Tips for Effective Practice:

1. For maximal effectiveness, practice at least 20 minutes daily in a private, quiet space. Turn off or disconnect your phone or any other distractions. If necessary, let others know you are meditating, so they won’t interrupt you.

2. If you are following the guided audio, the meditation is timed for you.

If you have learned the practice and are meditating without the

guided audio, place a clock in your line of sight, so you can open your eyes and check it easily without interrupting your meditative state.

(Do not listen to the CD while driving or while doing any task that requires your attention for safety.)

3. Whenever you recognize that your mind has been distracted by any
