Preksha Meditation : Perception of Psychic Centres 98%
is based on the doctrine of equanimity and its technique is self-awareness. Self-awareness is the foundation of tranquil (waveless) consciousness. When one reaches this state, there is neither like nor dislike, neither attachment nor aversion. In this state of consciousness the wave of anger is not suppressed, but the factor which generates the wave of anger is eradicated. Whereas the surgical implement or medicinal remedies strike at the brain, spinal cord or nesves i. e. the instruments of transmission, the self-awareness and transmission system but the prime mover that drives the generation of impulses. It is a process of extermination from the roots and that is why the solution is permanent and everlasting. The technique of realising the tranquil (waveless) state is the perception of physic centres. Thus the perception of psychic centres is not merely an important means of self-realisation, it is the only means,
Contact with the Subconscious Mind
All the (endocrine) glands in our body are components of the sub-conscious self. Because they affect the brain, they are more powerful and important than the brain. If they are properly harmonised by proper and efficient meditation, one becomes free from fear; and freedom from fear means freedom from all hurdles. Endocrinology-science of endocrinesdoes not specify the proper method of harmonising the system. Only the psychic science can show the way in this regard. And the method shown by it is regular practice of meditation. Meditation (concentrated perception) of psychic centres (fields of neuronal endocrine action) removes distortion and discordance from the system. The more profound the concentration, the more harmonised will the system become. And this will result in freedom from fear, cruelty and other psychological distortion. A new personality will be evolved with regenerated, revitalised and rejuvenated conscious mind. The psychic centre of intuition (associated with pituitary) is the centre of intuitive insight. It is also the centre of internal vision and right vision. When one meditates on this psychic centre, one is able to reach and communicate with the inner super-consciousness. The capacity of our conscious mind is limited in the field of personality development. While it is adequately capable (if developled by proper education) of coping up with arguments, hypothesis, critical evaluation and creative imagination on the fields of science, art and literature etc, it is not always capable of controlling behavioural patterns of the individual. Indeed, by far the greater part of one's behaviour is not controlled by conscious decisions. It follows, therfore, that this faculty cannot bring about changes in the attitude and behaviour of a person, let alone realising a tranquil (waveless-bereft of agitation and excitation) state. However, when one practises perception of the psychic centre of intuition, one's will and determination can transcend the conscious mind and reach the sub-conscious mind. It can even penetrate further and reach the fields of 'lesya' and 'adhyavasaya' i.e. the subtle most inner conscious levels. Then the blissful tranquil state is realised, and attitude and behaviour drastically changed.
Tour of the Psychic Centres by Conscious Mind
Mind is ever wandering. It takes a tour of the body from head to foot. Sometimes it wanders about in the upper region and sometimes in the other region. Sometimes
