The “Easy Chair” Method

Not everyone is familiar with meditation. In order to start enjoying the benefits of Three Word Meditation, the first step is to put your world on pause and become perfectly still, totally alone with the pounding of your heart and the hum of your brain. This is where you will discover a place for you alone-a place for your unique inner self. This is where you will be free from the roles you play to insure your survival, free from the demands of the people and the institutions that absorb your daily life. Sometimes this is a place where you may want to review the memories, pictures and stories of your life. Other times it can be a place where you observe the results of your behavior. Whatever the issues you may wish to address, this is the place where you choose the warmth of love over the coldness of fear. This is where you work towards creating a partnership of equals between the dualities of your thoughts and feelings, words and pictures, freedom and will and human and higher powers.

To enter into a meditative state, find a quiet spot where you will not be disturbed. The main objective is to become perfectly still and to silence the mind. Draw as many deep breaths as necessary to relax the mind and all the muscles of the body. It is usually best to start with your feet and work your way up to the top of your head. Focus on the pulsations of your heart and the rhythm of your breath until your mind quiets down and you have settled into a relaxed and peaceful state. Start by sitting in a comfortable "easy chair," spine straight, head effortlessly resting on the shoulders, feet on the floor and palms upright on the lap. Allow the fingers to gently touch; this sends a signal to the brain to bring the left and right together. With practice, you will be able to obtain a state of deep relaxation within seconds. When we eliminate distractions, we are able to go deep inside ourselves and attain pure introspection. Here, the triple powers of the universe await, Pure Light for your left-brain, Pure Love for your right-brain and Pure One for all.

Eyes closed, silently chant the word "LIGHT" over and over again until you eliminate all other thoughts. Then, picture a brilliant and Pure White Light starting to glow from the inside of your mind. Gradually slowing the timing of the chant, switch your focus to the rhythm of your breath, using a single breath for each chant. As you inhale, expand the intensity of the Light inside your physical mind. As you exhale, let the Light spread throughout your body: torso, arms and legs. Concentrate on the visualization of this Light glowing and radiating throughout your entire being. Allow the power of Pure Light to energize your human powers of behavior, thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

Now, immersed in this Light, chant the word "LOVE" with the same rhythm that you obtained with the word "Light." Allow the beautiful warmth of Love to sweep over you as you open up to the Power of Pure Love. Concentrate on a feeling of pure and selfless appreciation for all the love that you have ever known. Focus on a Love so Pure that it creates love whenever it is called. Pure Love's essence is unconditional; the joyful desiring of what is right and best for all. It is an absolute love of infinite proportions that cannot betray. Allow the power of Pure Love to stimulate your higher powers of awareness, ideals, compassion and respect.

Here, Pure Light and Pure Love become "ONE" with Pure Spirit, the Highest Power of the universe. This partnership of Light and Love stimulates the growth of your human love, a love that wants what is right for the self. It then promotes the growth of your higher love, a universal love that wants what is right for others. When you succeed in partnering your human and higher powers together, to the exclusion of all other thoughts, you are developing your highest love, a love that wants what is right for all. This is the power of the trinity of Pure Light, Pure Love and Pure One. Concentrate on the powers of these partners within for as long as you want.

This is where your brain enters into a deeply personal space that exists between resting and sleep. You will feel an "energizing" or "tingling" sensation bristling throughout your being as you enter into a pure meditative state.
Western Science has confirmed the reason why countless generations of people all across the globe have searched for this state: it is the "gamma" brain wave state that does not rely on conscious thought nor waves of emotion. This is far different from the "alpha" brain waves (as measured by EEG machines) of the normal active/alert state; it exists somewhere in between the resting level of "beta" and sleeping state of "delta."

You will feel a profound sense of peace as the love and wisdom of the universe enters your world. The energy will feel as if it comes from deep inside you as your left and right brain come together in a partnership of equals that will produce loving insights on how to best manage your life. Once in this state, you will begin to see how your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual elements are manifest in the powers known as the Body, Mind, Heart and Soul. The goal is to learn them, and then learn how to use them well.

The love of your internal partners will merge with all of the other love that exists throughout the universe. It allows you to see your own life and analyze how you have lived. It helps you to make creative new solutions that benefit you and all others concerned. The joyful merging of your personal partners, along with the provocative insights of this simple journey, is the essence of a Three Word Meditation practice. The love released by your partners within is like a beacon calling on the collective good of mankind and the Divine powers of the universe. It links you to a greater consciousness and a better understanding for the four aspects of your human nature: your reality, intellect, emotions and spirit.

In you will be released the creative dynamics of all of your dualistic nature. Whenever the dual powers of the left and right brain come together in a partnership with Pure Spirit, you will be on the plane of the three interrelated powers of the Human, the Higher, and the Highest. Ultimately, this harmony of powers will fuse all of your energies into a personal, and thus uniquely true, trinity within. It is here that you connect with the infinite energy of the universe that surrounds us all. This is where you find the simple new thoughts and feelings that help you to go forward with your life. The key to success is practice.

Now bring a problem or question to mind. While continuing to remain quiet, non-judgmental and receptive, allow the Highest Powers of the universe to offer new and better solutions. Sometimes answers come immediately but more often they come later after you have returned to your daily routines. Or, you may want to simply bask in the glory of Pure Light, Pure Love and Pure One, allowing these beautiful and caring feelings to provide comfort for your body, contentment for your mind, warmth for your heart and guidance for your soul.

Mankind has long attempted to connect with a power greater than the self. Many pursue the classical religious virtues of their cultural heritages and those practices continue to be recommended here. But you also have to make a conscious choice to explore your personal inner self. Think of it as entering into a moment between your thoughts and your reaction to those thoughts. It is like listening at a crack in the door that opens you up to the power of the Cosmos. It is in this "gap of silence" that the whispers of the universe come to you through an opening to your Soul. Even if you enter this moment for only a few seconds, it is here that the Pure Spirits of the Universe empower your dualistic nature and reveal the highest powers of your Body's Instincts, your Mind's Inspirations, your Heart's Intuition and your Soul's Enlightenment.
