A Method: A Mahayana Buddhist Meditation Weekly Program of Action, Reflection and Personal Development. What works for you through love of self and discipline. A little everyday. This 20 Minute Meditation, so simple, yet so difficult. Meditation NOW leads to great bliss, pass the Wall of time and space.

The 20 Minute Meditation is about transforming our highest character, and our illusions into wisdom. We always begin with a few minutes of deep breath and body stretching. [ The Secret Meditative Breath ] This allows the body to understand, this is time for me.  Do not worry about the Hindrances [ mind wandering, body twitching ] practice brings calmness and reward. [ See Posture & Vital Life Force ] Remember a Master Key is approximate same time day and/or evening. Start by doing it weekly and develop further as you progress.

A Place: Habits are important. Select a place, a spiritual space that brings comfort, a relaxed reality of mind and spirit. Meditating with spine, neck and head straight to help open the chakras. Find a little corner or a whole room, make it your spiritual space. Take a favourite walk in a park or nature estuary, same place, same time each day. Wear loose fitting clothing for meditation, freeing the body to breath.

Always have a notepad, exercise book or spiritual diary and pen nearby. When you get the feeling or inspiration walk in the meditation of Ink, so you can revisit and expand your insightfulness again later. Put down your thoughts just as they come to you, never mind about grammar, spelling or style, simply be in the moment taking down the message. You are in communication with the universal, eternal Law of Light and Energy. Pay attention, do not push for more, just relax and write down the thoughts as they come to you. As soon as they stop, be quiet, be still, be thankful. Later you can reflect, adjust and expand this area  of challenge or happiness.
