For those just starting out with meditation under pyramids, this article addresses the initial challenges and looks closely at what can be expected when beginning to practice pyramid meditation in and under a copper pyramid, including helpful guidance for starting meditation in this way.
The single largest obstacle we must overcome, when learning meditation, is a resistance to stillness. What I am referring to is the challenge that meditation brings, whether it is meditation in general or meditation under pyramids. The first challenge, as mentioned above, has to do with actual practice. This is difficult for those of us who are constantly “on the go.” So, we convince ourselves that there are much more important things to do than meditate. We need only step back and look around for a moment to see how frantic we all have become, desperately trying to get ahead. What if I could make an argument for how meditation can make us more efficient in this regard?
Let me clarify how this seeming paradox works. Life expresses itself outward from within, just as light radiates out from its source. Getting in touch with life (and, in particular, our own individual and distinct life) requires that we approach the problem vertically instead of horizontally. We must learn to stop and be still in order to witness life as it occurs within us. This allows us to understand more of what is going on. After practicing meditation for a time, our actions will naturally become more effortless and have greater precision, especially when supported by the inherent structure of the pyramid form that represent angles for meditation, together with proper positioning of the pyramid with base lines taut and slope correct.
Copper Pyramid for Meditation: Response Ability
Not only does sitting still in one place for a prolonged period of time feel oppressive and useless, the benefits from meditation (again, whether meditation in general or meditation under pyramids) are subtle, deep and slow to become apparent. Boredom and frustration can easily drive the beginner out of meditation and back into being a “responsible” and “useful” person. The term “responsible” is an interesting one for it essentially refers to the ability to respond. This ability to respond (response ability) is a measure of responsiveness in one’s being and meditation greatly improves this ability, particularly when meditation becomes a form of healing meditation.
Getting Past "It’s Not Working"
A meditation practice that really starts to "show up in the system (energetically and noticeably)" involves being still for twenty to thirty minutes several times a week. Any less than this will not have a noticeable enough impact to be encouraging. There will be cumulative effects regardless, but feeling the benefits is important.
Finding a place where one can remain essentially undisturbed for half an hour is best. There will be plenty to cope with in one’s thought processes once the body is still. Having unnecessary distractions can prevent this essential part from unfolding. Once the external distractions are out of the way, one must successfully navigate beyond the initial boredom or fears of ineffectiveness. There will come a time when the same depth can be reached much sooner and virtually anywhere.
Pyramid Meditation: Deeper than Thoughts
While meditating, aside from being still and witnessing one’s internal process, there is nothing to do. The goal is to allow for stillness. Let no thought of how well or badly it might be going to pull you out of your commitment to stillness. Your mind will object. Your thoughts will be resistant to meditation. Your mind is heavily invested in running your life. You are not your mind.
Sitting still sounds very easy. After all, you only need to sit there. The problem, however, is the self-reflection that naturally follows the stillness. Meditation, and in particular pyramid meditation, will bring unprocessed issues to the surface. This deeper engagement is part of the pyramid’s role as an energy focus, encouraging awareness rather than avoidance.
Copper Pyramid Meditation: Acceptance
You will encounter the trolls of your own thoughts. Just watch them. Witness them. Trust me when I tell you that you are much bigger and stronger than they are. If you can get this stillness bit going, you will prove yourself master and can learn to root out these annoying thought patterns and unravel them by simply seeing them clearly.
Pyramid meditation, however, puts us back on a positive path. As the thought trains are derailed or slowed to a stop, we discover a deeper sense of self that sees things more clearly. We begin to feel lighter, less tense, more capable and trusting. Many people describe similar outcomes when taking in what others report by reading testimonials and reviews. Meditation can truly be life-changing and facilitate bodily shifts especially when combined with gentle movement, such as movement and meditation together such as yoga practice.
