Super Consciousness A Guide To Meditation

A guide to the art and science of mediation. A manual for learning exactly who you are. Superconscious Meditation by Justin O?Brien (also known as Swami Jaidev Bharati) is written with a simple, direct and yet enthralling elegance that discloses the heart of the matter with such aplomb and down-to-earth practicality that the reader wants to get right down and practice the reality: Superconscious Meditation.

Superconsciousness Through Meditation: During a superconscious state the individual is flooded with an intense radiance, ten thousand times brighter than the brightest sun. Time seems to stand still; there is a feeling of power and a sense of possessing infinite wisdom and understanding at the moment of union. Subjectively there is an intense feeling of ecstasy or bliss which makes the orgasm of sexual union seem as nothing compared to it. To attain this state it is necessary to undertake certain disciplines that lead to non-attachment; the author provides eight progressive Yoga routines for this purpose. Clear and precise instructions are given to aid the earnest seeker. They are designed to eliminate mental, emotional, and physical disturbances from one's life. The final stages outlined in this work consist of Dharana, (concentration) and Dhyana, (sustained concentration) which lead ultimately to the attainment of Samadhi or Cosmic Consciousness.

Here is a fresh, revolutionary approach to finding inner peace and expansive joy, presented by one of the greatest exponents of yoga and meditation alive today. We have all experienced our subconscious minds–in our sleep, dreams, and through our unconscious thoughts and emotions. And, of course, we're all intimately familiar with the normal conscious state of awareness from which we go about our daily lives. But there is a third, less well-known state of awareness: the superconscious. The hidden mechanism at work behind intuition, spiritual and physical healing, successful problem solving, and finding deep, lasting joy, superconscious awareness is the missed link to living richer, more meaningful lives. Though many of us have experienced fleeting moments of raised consciousness and enlightenment, few know how to purposely enter such an exalted state. Through meditation, chanting, affirmation, and prayer, Swami Kriyananda teaches us how to reach this state successfully and regularly and how to maximize its beneficial effects. In Awaken to Superconsciousness, Kriyananda shares his knowledge of the ancient yoga tradition, details how to attain inner peace, and provides inspiring meditative exercises. Awaken to Superconsciousness provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand program to help us tap into our wellspring of creativity, unlock intuitive guidance, and hear the silent voice of our soul.
