Death-simulating meditative practices. Practical meditation against the fear of death

Death meditation is one of the techniques that allows you to look at the world in a new way. See your inner world differently. To look behind the curtain that the mind puts up for itself, to see what the mind denies and strenuously hides. This meditation does not carry negative emotions and thoughts. Emotions are attitudes towards objects, and death is not an object. This is the point at which known knowledge ends and new knowledge begins.

Meditation is not thinking about what will happen after death. What people will think about us, how they will bury us and other fantasies. One can imagine how people will evaluate this. But this information will not give you anything new, it will only feed negative emotions. Meditation on death in the sensations of what will change in you, in the world around you after you are gone. By immersing yourself in meditation, you can get answers to these questions.

You can learn and see things that will make you understand the greatness of life. To appreciate life you need to stand on the edge of this life. It is better to do this not when your life is in danger, but in more favorable, safe conditions. You don’t need to do this kind of meditation often, just once or twice to understand who you are and why you are here.

During the meditation itself and after it, look at your life from a different angle. You can learn things that will become a revelation for you and will make you think, and will change your attitude towards life and towards the people around you. Take a different look at the world around us, expand our consciousness of perception and our inner world. What else do you need from meditation?

Death Meditation Technique

Position your body as you feel comfortable. Any sitting position, you can sit in a chair or lie on a bed. We completely relax, take several deep breaths and exhales, gradually slowing down your breathing. In fact, we have to imagine that we are already dead. We achieve the absence of sensations from the body. We switch our attention completely to the absence of sensations. Only our consciousness remains. Next, with the help of attention, we transfer consciousness away from our body and simply observe the body. This is not a way out of the body, the main thing here is that our consciousness is not connected with our body, not attached to it.

When consciousness is free from the body, just look at yourself, observe what is happening in the room, apartment, on the street. Has anything new happened in the world around you since you left? How the objects on your table and flowers react. They noticed your departure. Whether the air has become thicker, sadder, minor details can become important and very interesting to your new perception. Be in this state as much as possible.

Then slowly return to your body. Feel how consciousness enters and revives it. Take your time to go about your business. Stay a little longer in this state, and when you come to your senses, reflect on what you have learned.

You begin to appreciate it when you lose it; isn’t it better to take care of it while you have it?

This is done closer to night, in solitude and darkness. Sit as comfortably as possible. It is advisable that the surroundings be quiet and dark. Nothing should distract you.

Close your eyes and look into the darkness in front of you. And tell yourself clearly that you have closed your eyes last time. You will NEVER open them again. You are dying. Let in the thought that your eyes are now closed forever.

But really, isn’t this how death comes to us? Isn't that what will happen one day? Someday our eyes will close without any warning and never open again. Therefore, now we simulate our death in order to imagine what will happen to our consciousness when we die for real.

So you die. Death has closed your eyes. Now your destiny is to contemplate the darkness. Realize that you will never see sunlight again. Never. You will never feel the sand under your feet, never swim in the sea, never taste any food, never experience any pleasure. Realize this.

If you manage to realize this, then your personality will begin to give you a continuation. With horror, you realize that you will no longer see your family and friends. If you have children, you will not see each other again. Never. You will no longer kiss your loved ones, you will not feel the warmth of their touch. God, how much was left unsaid... And how much I still want to hear.

NOTHING. There will be nothing more.

Once you realize this, your attention will begin to jump into the past. You will see how you wasted your life. The time that could have been spent on amazing things, you spent on laziness and all sorts of nonsense. After all, it seemed that there was still a lot of time ahead, that there were still years left, but then death came and closed your eyes. What a waste of time.

More and more regrets, all the dreams and desires will come out of you, but in the end there remains only one constant fact: the eyes will not open again. Realize this.

If you cannot progress further in this meditation, you will not hear advice from death. Moving on means accepting the inevitable own death. Recognize her victory. Give her your memories, regrets and desires. See that you have nothing left except your own “I”.

If you can get into this state and feel your “I”, cleansed of mental trash, then you will see that this “I” is small, insignificant, occupying a worthless place in this world. Neither status nor money belong to this “I”. It is simply the presence of your real Self that does not die.

However, realizing your worthless “I” gives you an understanding of exactly why it is so small. What exactly in your history prevented him from developing. And the main thing is what needs to be done to develop this “I”. How time should have been spent, what priorities should have been set.

If you realize this too, then make a promise of death. Promise that from now on you won't waste your time so stupidly. That you will improve your true self and do everything so that at the moment of your true death you will not feel disappointment about your past and future. Promise that you will not fail your death and that next time it will take a different person: strong, confident, one who lived his destiny to the end, without hiding behind ridiculous excuses. Promise that you will do everything to die a worthy person. A person who has not eclipsed his true self with the idiocy of this world.

Make this promise in exchange for your life. Remember, you are calling upon the Angel of Death. And if the meditation works, then the Angel has come to you. And your promise will be heard by them. And if so, then when you open your eyes and return to your life, you are at great risk if you do not fulfill what you promised. Death doesn't like being played with. She can remind you of your promise, for example, when you are fired from your job or you get into an accident, or when your wallet with your last money is stolen. Yes, yes, these and other similar situations are nothing more than the presence of the Angel of Death nearby. He reminds you that your path is different, that you promised to no longer be an idiot, naively believing that you have plenty of time, which means the Path will wait. The path may wait, but death is the finale of any person in this life. Remember this.

After such practice, try to consolidate the result. Go to the morgue. Try to make sure that you are shown the corpse of a person of your gender and approximately your age.

Look at him without taking your eyes off. Look carefully. Realize that people your age die too. And who gave you the guarantee that you have more time than the one who lies lifeless in front of you? Looking at him, think that this man also had plans. There were also relatives and loved ones. He also strived for something and wanted something. But does death really care? She came and closed his eyes forever.

All this must be done not in order to become depressed from thoughts of imminent death. On the contrary, it is an incentive. Very powerful. Sacrifice your fears, doubts, thoughts and anxieties to death. Take action. After all, what are you risking? Life? Yes, but by not acting, you also risk it. See what the trick is? We will die in any case, improving ourselves or not. But someone will say: “Why improve myself if death will still come to me?” Because it's too easy to just go with the flow. And when you really die, you will experience all the pain from the fact that you never took a risk, never dared to be someone you don’t mind dying. It's a challenge. And this is a worthy challenge for any person. Only awareness of your death gives you the strength to accept it. And this is the most beautiful thing that can happen in our lives.

On the other side

One day I came across a book that contained medical observations of people who experienced clinical death at different times. The researchers were also different, and these stories had nothing in common. However, many of the experiences of the deceased coincided.

I remember stories that at the moment of clinical death, many saw the light. But there is no light at the end of the tunnel, just light. Intelligence was felt in him, and in his presence a person felt good and calm. People who had this experience interpreted it in different ways. Christian believers, for example, believed that it was Christ, those who were not religious believed that it was some kind of energetic being, and some thought that it was aliens. But that's not important. The important thing is that, regardless of religion, this Light asked everyone one question: “What have you brought to me?”

And as soon as people heard this question, at that very moment their whole life flashed before their eyes. Everything took a few moments. The light then sent them back, apparently dissatisfied with what the people had brought with them.

Think about it. Is everything different in your life? Is your life more than a few moments? How many moments have you had that took your breath away? Are you living or surviving?

Who this light was, I do not undertake to interpret. But I know for sure that I don’t want to return to him empty-handed. I don't want my life to fit into a few moments. After all, I know that man is capable of truly amazing things. How do I know this? Death said it.

Perhaps death will show you another Path. But if you see it, follow it. One way or another, all paths end the same way. But there is no greater pleasure than knowing that your Path has meaning even after death.

Y, 10th and 9th arcana

I decided to combine these three arcana into one chapter. Not because they are similar. On the contrary, they are very different, their powers are very powerful. I can simply say very little about them.

I know how to decipher the glyphs of these arcana, I know the settings for them and understand the principle of their operation, but I see no point in describing all this, since I cannot perceive these forces directly with my consciousness, since I am not consciously able to raise my vehicle above the Vishuddha chakra . At least at the time of writing this book.

First you need to understand one thing when working with lassos. When you try to meditate on one or another lasso, your state of consciousness changes. If you have experience of prolonged concentration of attention, then such meditation can cause a very strong change in your state of consciousness. But this does not mean at all that you “took” the lasso.

“Take the lasso” means to realize the power that it symbolizes. Not just to feel, but to realize. It is like you have mastered the principle of this force. It's like catching a wave on a surfboard. You may be hit by waves and it will affect you in some way and you may think you are surfing, but when you watch a professional athlete, you will realize that he has something that you lack . Some property, some skill. And so you try again and again to conquer the wave - and suddenly you somehow managed to stay on the board and swim for some time. Such an achievement is also not “taking the lasso.” Usually it's just luck. Another attempt to ride the wave may fail. A professional takes every wave.

If you look at surfers and how they talk about their activity, you can often hear about their strange relationship with the sea elements. They claim to read the waves, speak to them and understand their language. For a beginner, surfing is just fun. A professional sees the wave and connects with it.

This example shows that there is a difference between realizing the power of the lasso and feeling it. Many even feel the arcana from the upper triangle, but feeling them is not the same as being a conductor of their power. Hence, some practitioners fall into the trap of believing that since they feel a high lasso, that means they have an assemblage point at the level of the chakra on which the lasso is located. But that's not true.

And since I want to be honest with you, I will not, for the sake of interest, describe the decoding of the glyphs of these arcana, since since I cannot “take” them, you cannot either. For anyone who can do this will never read this book.

However, I will try to explain the principle of their operation for the overall picture. Let's start with the 12th lasso. "Hanged". A force that gives support from above.

What does this mean? The fact is that from the 9th lasso and above the space begins, in different traditions called differently: upper astral, paradise, mahonia, and so on. It is believed that this is the space of Great Teachers, Magicians, Enlightened Masters and Saints. The best of the people are there. These guys are part of the hierarchy of consciousness of our planet, since they are very powerful cells of planetary consciousness.

In Mahonia itself there is also a hierarchy, and in order to move higher in it, some disembodied great personalities are forced to do certain work from those above in order to receive promotion. But these guys are very cool and may no longer be incarnated in a physical body, but somehow they have to work. Therefore, they descend a little below the 9th lasso, into the area of the 12th and sit there.

Anyone who can reach the frequency of the 12th Arcana has the ability to feel these Mages in this channel of consciousness and connect to them. As a result, such a person becomes a conductor of these Masters and gains access through his conductivity to their abilities and their power.

This looks like support Higher powers. Nothing terrible can happen to the person who holds this channel. He will be led from above and all the work will be done through him. And if he needs something, for example, the same money, then it comes to him miraculously.

You've probably heard that some people have teachers on the subtle plane. This also applies to this lasso. To be included in this lasso means to have support in the Higher planes. From here on the map, a person is suspended by his leg, that is, he relies on what is above. The Great Spiritual Teachers had such unbending fortitude that they were not afraid of anything, since they knew that they were expected at the top. The path through this lasso looks like you are fulfilling the Higher will. If you do this successfully, then after death you replace those who supported you, and you yourself begin to do their work on the subtle plane, and your leaders move on. This also makes it possible to no longer incarnate on Earth in a physical body.

An example of a person who sits in the 12th lasso is Lama Itigelov, who has been seemingly dead for more than 70 years, but his body has not decomposed. During his lifetime, he worked through this lasso and found a way to support his body from above. But it’s not only such abilities that this lasso hides. For example, levitation also becomes possible at this level.

You probably read all of this and didn't understand anything. The problem is that it is pointless to understand these forces intellectually. But we don’t have the strength to enter them.

Now let's talk about the 10th lasso. "Wheel of Fortune". The power that controls destiny.

I was in this lasso once, and I got there with the help of a teacher. I had just won the “Battle of Psychics” and didn’t really know what to do next with this prize. So I came to him, we went to the place of power and decided to work with my higher “I”, Spirit, the true essence of me. The task was to feel the Spirit and completely surrender to its will.

Gradually, already in a deep meditative state, being dissolved in the incredible power of the Spirit, I created the intention that let my destiny happen. By order of the teacher, I did this three times and suddenly saw how three vortexes were born from the space of the Spirit. I felt these whirlwinds as commands, orders on the subtle plane, which rushed into the physical world with wild force.

The meditation is over. All I knew that day was that I had triggered something, but I had no idea what. Understanding came in less than a month. We opened the Arcanum center. The will of the Spirit was accomplished, fate brought me to a new stage of life.

So what is the 10th Arcana? This is a principle that determines what should happen to a particular object in the System. Something like a controlling body that makes sure that everyone gets their task. These tasks descend into our lives in the form of fateful phenomena that we cannot avoid. However, the phenomena themselves are not fate. In general, what is fate?

Many people confuse fate and the future. For example, some people say that if you are destined to meet a person, you will meet him. It is not right. Fate cannot be understood as situations. Destiny is a task that a person must complete. If a person completes it, then he is given the next one, and if not, then everything is done again. At the same time, the forces of the 10th Arcana can generate many different situations to complete the same task. As a rule, at first a sign is sent, they say, you need to work on this and that. If a person doesn’t see him, then he’s already given a kick in the ass. If he doesn’t understand this either, then they throw him into the abyss. You look while it flies, maybe it will become wiser.

That is, any problem in life can also be considered as fate. But it would be more correct to understand that it is not a specific problem that is sent to you from above, but rather everything in its entirety. Poor health, lack of money, failure, emptiness - these are just consequences of not solving a problem. How to understand - which one? This is described in the map.

Two figures move on the wheel of fortune. A snake rolls down, and a man with a dog's head moves up. At the top of the wheel sits a sphinx with a sword. This is the power that controls. And if homework didn’t do it - head off shoulders.

Downward movement, as you might guess, is not good. It means tougher lessons. And moving up is a way out of this situation. The snake moves down. The snake among the Egyptians (and the Tarot was drawn by the Egyptians) meant wisdom. That is, the intellect, or what thinks inside us.

A man with a dog's head is moving up. That is, instead of a human head, which contains intelligence, a dog's head. And the most important sign of a dog is devotion. Now how to understand all this?

The principle is that only by being devoted to your destiny can you be successful in life. Only by doing what is required of you, and doing it faithfully, giving yourself completely, can you turn the wheel of fortune in your direction. But if you solve problems with your intellect, then don’t expect success.

I'll explain. Our thoughts in our heads are based solely on personal gain. Agree that when you feel bad, you don’t think that it’s right. You are trying in every possible way to correct the situation and make it only good. In other words, our intellect, our tonal, or our ego accepts only what is convenient for it, only what it accepts as right or pleasant. And we can divide the world into good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant only thanks to our thinking. Acting from our thoughts, which are based on accepting one thing and not accepting another, we only dig ourselves deeper into our problems.

Only those who act out of devotion to the Spirit, which means they accept everything that the Spirit sends down to them, are able to solve the task sent by fate.

And if we do not run away from fate, but try to fulfill it, no matter what it is, we can solve the problem ahead of time and for this we are given a reward in the form of fortune.

Mages who are able to take the power of the 10th Arcana can “prescribe” tasks for themselves and others. Can you imagine such a Magician? The ability to control destiny. It's almost freedom. Why almost? Because there is still no complete freedom of choice. You can select any task, but only from the list. However, this still gives crazy prospects. In this arcana, the Magician understands what God wants, what tasks He sets for people. When choosing a task, you follow the principle that the more difficult it is, the greater the reward. I think that Christ himself chose his mission and death in exactly this way. The task was almost impossible, but he completed it. What he received after death, we can only guess. But there is no doubt that by completing the task, he changed the course of history.

So the next time you complain about your fate, understand that your tasks cannot be compared with the tasks of those like Christ. To understand this, try to change the course of history of at least a city, and not just of all humanity. And you will understand how kind fate is to you.

And the last lasso that I want to talk about on the pages of this book is the 9th lasso. "Hermit". The power that gives self-sufficiency.

It is generally difficult to talk about this force. On this floor, the Magician realizes that the entire world around him is actually an illusion. This is not an intellectual understanding, but a real perception of the world as a hallucination. What we used to think objective reality, in the 9th lasso is realized as a thought born in the consciousness of the Magician.

Remember at the beginning of the book we said that we are simply describing the world? So, the power of this lasso gives the Magician the power to control this description.

At this level, incredible things open up for the Magician, such as alchemy. The transformation of one substance into another for the Magician of this arcana is just a mental process. The thought becomes very powerful and can materialize as an illusion in the mind of an ordinary person. That is, if in your presence such a Magician thinks that there are crocodiles around you, you will see them. Moreover, if one of them bites you, you will have corresponding wounds, but if this is recorded on videotape, you will see that you are running through an empty field.

I felt this lasso. When its power takes over the lion's share of your perception, you see that the world is not real. You look at a tree and your eyes tell you that it is outside you, but you feel that it is there only because you have created it in your thinking. The entire surrounding world is actually just a projection of the inner world. Just as a projector shows a film on the screen, our consciousness creates the world around us. There is no film on the wall, there is only an image. All the film is in the projector.

In Carlos Castaneda's book "Journey to Ixtlan" in the last chapter there is Don Genaro's story about how he captured an ally and he changed his perception. In general, the topic of allies is very broad and a lot can be written about it, but in my understanding, finding a real ally is possible on the floor of the 9th lasso.

Returning to Genaro's story, I remember the moment where he saw all the people he met as unreal. Even Carlos was just a ghost to him. And only about don Juan he said that he was real. If you try to feel these words, then perhaps this will give you some understanding of the 9th Arcana.

When the Magician realizes himself at this level, he no longer needs anything. This lasso works at the level of the ajna chakra. If you raise your perception to this chakra, then you automatically have direct vision. Everything is visible here. What's closed here? with open eyes you see energy and all objects through, and the hidden meaning of everything that your attention falls on. It's like you have unlimited access to information about everything. This makes it possible to be self-sufficient. A person with such a consciousness can spend his entire life in isolation and not go crazy. He is his own teacher, he illuminates the Path for himself. Here he finds true harmony with all that exists and becomes a Great Master.

In Conclusion about the Arcana

The major arcana of the Tarot are the Principles of our world. These are the forces on which the universe rests.

By calling on these forces, you automatically accept the rules of the game described in the arcana card, and your life is rebuilt in accordance with them. Acting under the pressure of this energy, you accumulate in yourself the property, or quality, of this principle, becoming its conductor.

After reading this book together with my first published work, you will probably already have some kind of picture about working with the lassos. Choose one of these powers and start practicing it for a long time. I advise sticking with one strength for a long time because the effects may not be visible immediately. But even if you see the results of your practice very quickly, this does not at all indicate an awareness of power. Strive to change your perception and see this power around you, everywhere. Learn to feel it, call it and direct it. This takes a long time.

Understand correctly, working with the powers of the arcana is not a guarantee that your life will begin to improve. This is only a guarantee that life will begin to change. Regardless of what changes come, remember: the lasso is a teacher. To resist the teacher means not to assimilate the material, it means not to channel the force through oneself. Be patient. And may the will of the Spirit be with you.

See your inner world differently. To look behind the curtain that the mind puts up for itself, to see what the mind denies and strenuously hides. This meditation does not carry negative emotions and thoughts. Emotions are attitudes towards objects, and death is not an object. This is the point at which known knowledge ends and new knowledge begins.

The meditation technique is common.

This is done closer to night, in solitude and darkness. Sit as comfortably as possible. It is advisable that the surroundings be quiet and dark. Nothing should distract you.

Close your eyes and look into the darkness in front of you. And tell yourself clearly that you have closed your eyes for the last time. You will NEVER open them again. You are dying. Let in the thought that your eyes are now closed forever.

NOTHING. There will be nothing more.

More and more regrets, all the dreams and desires will come out of you, but in the end there remains only one constant fact: the eyes will not open again. Realize this.

If you cannot progress further in this meditation, you will not hear advice from death. To move on means to accept the inevitability of one's own death. Recognize her victory. Give her your memories, regrets and desires. See that you have nothing left except your own “I”.

After such practice, try to consolidate the result. Go to the morgue. Try to make sure that you are shown the corpse of a person of your gender and approximately your age.

Hello, dear Practitioners!) There is a question that more than 10 people have already sent me by email: Please describe a meditation technique in which you can experience death and watch and feel how it happens. You have said in other articles about death and fears that this will help overcome the fear of death. I ask you to give me a meditation technique so that I can understand what death really is.

I will say right away that performing this meditation technique without a qualified mentor is not safe, and should be carried out only after special training of the person.

What initial preparation is needed? At a minimum, you need to be able to enter into meditation (by) and achieve a state of weightlessness. Ideally, this meditation technique is implemented when the soul leaves the body, and not everyone, even advanced esotericists, can do this. But to perform this technique more safely, you can carry out this meditation and the corresponding journey in with the help of your. That is, you can travel in the astral plane either completely, leaving the body with your entire consciousness (soul), or you can send your phantom there and look through its eyes, feel what is happening through its systems. The second option is available to almost everyone, but still, I do not recommend doing this without external control (without a mentor).

How to overcome the fear of death in meditation and more?

In theory, everything is quite simple. Fear exists where there is no clear knowledge, but where there is ignorance. A person is always afraid of what he does not know, afraid of the unknown. And when in meditation you see with your own eyes what happens during and after death, and that it – , – simply does not exist, and after the exit of their physical body life continues, fear begins to quickly melt away.

Read about what entering meditation by chakras is in the article - section “Introduction to Meditation”.

Step 2. The person determines how he will travel: with the exit of the Soul from the body or a phantom. Traveling with a phantom is an order of magnitude safer, although the strength of sensations and impressions is, of course, less.

Step 3. Invitation of Light Patrons and representatives of the Forces who are responsible for issues of death and accompanying the soul in the Subtle World after it leaves the body.

Ideally, these are bright Patrons (if the soul is worthy), direct personal Patrons of the Soul and special powers Karmas that supervise and completely manage the issues of reincarnation of people. So, “The Old One with the Scythe” does not come to all people, but only to those who are already preparing for the underground worlds. Before death, normal and worthy people are visited by Light Patrons to accompany them, who disconnect them from the physical body, protect and accompany them in the Subtle World.

After you have invited the appropriate Patrons for this meditation, you need to tell them about your request - that you want to experience death in meditation. Next, the Patrons either give the go-ahead (allow) or not (if not all conditions are met).

If the go-ahead for the trip is received, you can trust the Patrons and they will guide you. I will say right away that if your (astral vision) does not work at all, this will complicate meditation (perception), although it will still be possible to feel and understand a lot.

Step 4. Leaving the body or connecting to your phantom (you begin to see through the eyes of the phantom and feel what he feels).

The very disconnection of the Soul from the body also occurs interestingly, when extraordinary lightness sets in and the heart is filled with joy. And any pain or discomfort that the physical body gave simply disappears.

There, in special halls, an analysis of your incarnation takes place: weighing all the good and evil deeds of a person on the scales of Karma, analyzing the degree to which he has fulfilled his own, and much more. etc. Here, as those who have experienced clinical death often say, their whole life flashes before their eyes in an instant and a rethinking of everything that a person has done and has not done occurs.

This process does not occur in an instant, but over several days; this time is given to the soul, among other things, to take a break from physical incarnation.

If your astral vision works more or less, your impressions of the tour of the egregor of Karma will be unforgettable.

Step 5. Additionally, you can ask the Patrons for a trip to hell, which requires special uniforms and protective energy systems, and to heaven, to see with your own eyes and make sure what is happening there and what awaits a worthy person after death, and what awaits a traitor, scoundrel and scoundrel. But hell and heaven are a separate, very large topic, which we, of course, cannot fit into the framework of this article.

Step 6. After completing the journey, the Soul returns to the body , or returning the phantom to a person. When you return, do not forget to thank all the Patrons who helped you on your journey and be sure to thank the Powers of Karma too.

Of course, this technique has a lot of nuances and subtleties that you need to know. That is why, I repeat once again, you should not try this meditation without the accompaniment of a specialist, or at least a good Healer who has psychic abilities.

This meditation allows you to see with your own eyes that death is not so scary, but on the contrary, it’s very pleasant :) If, of course, your Conscience is clear!
