If you go into a deeper meditation, you will learn to turn everything off. Your body, you'll lose track of your breathing, your organs etc. etc.
Eventually you will enter a quasi dreamlike state. Halfway between waking and sleeping. Robert Monroe called this focus 10 or 11 ( I never was ever able to accurately determine the difference). Some other methods refer to this is being at level, which is a state where you have direct contact with your higher self.
If you meditate lower then this, you may reach a state where everything, including your monkey mind (the narrator, the place where your thoughts come from) is turned off. A very comfortable darkness.
In this state you will realize that all you are is a dot of awareness (seemingly attached to some sort of umbilical). The base you just observes. That's it. No emotion, no personality, no judgement, no narration. Just observation. What to do with it I have no clue, but it was nice.
If you have the time, and can separate from your family (disturbances when you are meditating knock you for a loop), you might want to try meditation tapes that create an interference pattern in the center of your brain where your pineal gland is. This allows you to stay aware/awake while you gradually relax your body to sleep.
Right now, I'm using the complete remote influencing training system by Gerald O'Donnell. But there are others, including the Monroe Institute.
You can even meditate more effectively by raising your secondary body energy levels as this will also increase your focus while in trance. Robert Bruce New Energy Ways is pretty easy to learn. You're looking for the high pitched sound at the center of your brain (at least to start, it fades over time).
Yup. The only problem with Robert Bruce is there is a focus on raising energy without focus on the TYPE of energy.
We're getting new age-y here, but if you increase your yang (hot, angry, sith, red) energy, you create problems. If you maintain everything calm and good feeling (yin, cool, calm, jedi, blue, healing), it alleviates the bad burny stuff from happening.
Regardless, meditation yes, good yay! Also Robert Bruce; raise your energy hand off the bed and tell me it doesn't fuck up your worldview.
