This document provides instructions for four different meditation techniques: 1. Focuses on observing one's thoughts without judgment and being present through focusing on breathing and senses. Enlightenment can take 60 years of practice but can happen at any time. 2. Involves visualizing a bright light entering the top of the head and tree roots growing from the legs into the ground to achieve a relaxed state. 3. Is a cleansing meditation where negativity is sent into a candle flame through focused observation of the flame for 5 minutes. 4. Guides visualizing memories from the present back through one's life and potentially a last moment from a past life, to explore past experiences.

1. Meditation x 4
1. How To Become Enlightened
Ever noticed that you can't stop thinking?
You might be able to stop for about 200ms but then you will start
again.
Incessant speed, this will never end.
Thinking of things in the past and.or future also prevents you being
in the moment, which would be better.
Watch your mind as if it is the mind of another person. Take note of
it.
The mind is just a mad voice. You are not your mind!
Focus on the breath also, and on the sounds, sights and smells
around you.
Enlightment after about 60 years of this is considered very good
going..
but it can happen at any time!

2. 2. Roots and Shaft
Try this one for a mad affect!
Get in a comfortable position in a chair.
Still yourself and take a few deep breaths, 4 or 5.
When you are relaxed, begin to visualise a bright white shaft of
spiritual beautiful light coming down from above you, onto the top
of your head.
After 30 seconds of this, begin to imagine that your legs are turning
into huge strong tree roots and are burying slowly into the ground
or floor below you.
Do this for at least 30 seconds!
This was reviewed by a sceptic friend of mine once as 'amazing'

3. 3. Candle
This is a cleansing meditation
Light a single white candle, a tealight will do.
Get it on the table in front of you. Turn the other lights down
Now focus of the flame and send any negativity out of yourself and
into the candle flame.
For about 5 minutes or until you are done I guess! Never tried this
one!

4. 4. Past Life
Take a few minutes breathing deeply somewhere comfortable like a
chair or a bed.
Get as relaxed as you can..
Now think about what you were doing earlier today. Visualise in
your mind's eye what you were doing.
After about 10 or 20 seconds, move to what you were doing
yesterday, and do the same thing again.
After 10 or 20 seconds of this, now try for a week ago.
Then a month.
Now 6 months ago.
Then a year ago.
Now 5 years ago.
Now 10 or 20 years ago.
Now imagine a moment in your earlier childhood, again for 10 or 20
seconds.

5. Now imagine the moment just after your birth in this life.
Again for 10 or 20 seconds.
NOW, go back to the very last moment of your last life, just before
your death. See what you get!
