Dreamcatcher

The serious meditator has one corner of a room or a small closet as his own “inner sanctuary”. In this room, you should have a small table – covered with a white cloth. Upon this white cloth, you should also place a picture or a statue of Jesus or Buddha or whoever represents your God. Whatever your belief, this is done merely as a symbol of GOODNESS. This greatly enhances your ability to meditate peacefully.

To enable you to have better control of the subject of your meditation, you have to insulate yourself from outside influences. This is done by wearing a robe covering you from head to foot. This robe should also have a hood to go over your head. You can use a spare bed sheet or blanket for this purpose. Whatever you use, whether you buy a robe, or make your own, this robe must be used for meditation only. You must not wear it for any other purposes.

It should also be kept safely away so that no one else can touch it or use it, because if another person touches it or tries it on, you then have that person’s influence in the robe – which you are trying to avoid – and so you have another obstacle. By meditating under this insulated, isolated condition, you are immune from outside influences.

You may meditate with a loved one BUT it is strongly advised NOT to meditate in large groups because your meditation will be influenced by their thoughts.
