It is the process of experiencing God\u2019s love for ourselves by taking our attention away from the world outside and focusing it within. Doing so, allows us to defocus from the turmoil of our surroundings and connect with the Source of all love, all joy, which is God.

It is taught as a science that anyone can practice no matter one&#8217;s age, faith, or beliefs. In this form of meditation, the attention is focused at what is called the spiritual eye, or the seat of the soul, which is between and behind the two eyebrows. This seat of the soul is the gateway to the inner spiritual regions. As our sensory currents are raised to this point and focused there, it opens into the inner realms, which are spiritual in nature. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;VideoSection&#8220; module_class=&#8220;sos-nu-texture-bg&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_color=&#8220;#f9f4ed&#8220; custom_padding=&#8220;0px||||false|false&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;on&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; width=&#8220;60%&#8220; width_tablet=&#8220;80%&#8220; width_phone=&#8220;90%&#8220; width_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; module_alignment=&#8220;center&#8220; custom_margin=&#8220;||||false|false&#8220; custom_padding=&#8220;0px||50px||false|false&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.6.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_video src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pJuGQItcov8&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;Video&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; border_width_all=&#8220;20px&#8220; border_color_all=&#8220;#3a5980&#8243; border_radii_tablet=&#8220;&#8220; border_radii_phone=&#8220;&#8220; border_radii_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; border_width_all_tablet=&#8220;&#8220; border_width_all_phone=&#8220;0px&#8220; border_width_all_last_edited=&#8220;on|desktop&#8220; border_style_all_tablet=&#8220;&#8220; border_style_all_phone=&#8220;&#8220; border_style_all_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;What Happens During SOS Meditation&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_color=&#8220;#ffffff&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;on&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8220;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_tablet=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_phone=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sos-text-carlson-pro sos-header-text sos-block-display sos-text-no-top-margin sos-text-align-left\">What Happens During SOS Meditation?<\/h2>\n<p>Those who receive the complete meditation instructions from a spiritual Master see various forms of Light and spiritual realms unfold for them. By concentrating the attention into the middle of whatever appears before you when your eyes are closed, the consciousness or soul begins to journey on a stream of Light into higher regions. There are regions after regions of higher and higher states of Light. The ultimate step on the journey is when the soul returns to the source of all-consciousness and all-Light from where it originally came. These states bring with them knowledge and wisdom of all that is and answer our questions about the mysteries of life and death.

By spending time in meditation, we create a calm haven to restore equilibrium to our mental functioning. Researchers who record brain activity find that our brain waves measure from 13\u201420 Hz when we are involved with stressful situations at work, driving in traffic, or in a fight-or-flight mode. In meditation, brain waves register between 5-8 Hz, a state of deep relaxation. In meditation, stress levels are reduced. The mind becomes calm, and, in turn, calms the body. Through meditation, we bring about healing of our mental state. We can then function more effectively and peacefully in this world. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sos-link-info\"><span>Ref, for further reading &#8211;<\/span><br \/>\nMeditation and yoga can &#8218;reverse&#8216; DNA reactions which cause stress, new study suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2017\/06\/170615213301.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2017\/06\/170615213301.htm <\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_tablet=&#8220;&#8220; content_phone=&#8220;&#8220; content_last_edited=&#8220;on|tablet&#8220; admin_label=&#8220;Meditation Improves Concentration&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; custom_margin=&#8220;|||35px|false|false&#8220; custom_margin_tablet=&#8220;|||0px|false|false&#8220; custom_margin_phone=&#8220;&#8220; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8220;on|desktop&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"sos-meditation-multi-border sos-meditation_block\">\n<h4 class=\"sos-text-align-left\">Meditation Improves Concentration<\/h4>\n<p>As our stress levels decrease, we gain more mental clarity, equilibrium, and a sense of balance as we go about our daily activities.

In meditation, we experience this love for ourselves. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8220;on|on|on&#8220; admin_label=&#8220;Meditation Bathes Us in Love&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; disabled=&#8220;on&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;on&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_tablet=&#8220;left&#8220; text_orientation_phone=&#8220;left&#8220; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sos-text-carlson-pro sos-med-head\">Meditation Bathes Us in Love<\/h3>\n<p>Meditation can supplement therapy to heal emotional pain. As people work on their emotional problems with the guid\u00acance of trained specialists, they can increase their healing by meditating. Meditation helps in several ways. First, by rising above body-consciousness we see our lives from a clear angle of vision. We recognize the roots of our pains and solve the problems. Second, in meditation, we contact the source of love. The Current of Light is made of the same essence as our soul and God\u2014love, consciousness, and bliss. As we contact the divine current, we experience divine love. We connect with the love of God latent within. It is said, &#8222;God is love, the soul is love, and the way back to God is through love.&#8220; Contact with godly love fills us with more love than we can ever imagine. This can fill the hole that may be the root cause of one&#8217;s emotional pain. Through meditation&#8217;s healing power, one can mitigate and eliminate emotional pain. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8220;on|on|on&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; width=&#8220;60%&#8220; width_tablet=&#8220;80%&#8220; width_phone=&#8220;90%&#8220; width_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; disabled=&#8220;on&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_video src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IDIIlGQu4w8&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;Video&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;Section 1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_enable_color=&#8220;off&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"sos-number-head-container\">\n<div class=\"sos-number-container sos-right-border\"><span class=\"sos-head-number\">1<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"sos-head-container\">\n<h4 class=\"sos-right-side-head sos-text-align-left\">Meditation Bathes Us in Love<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sos-number-text-conatiner\">\n<p>Meditation can supplement therapy to heal emotional pain.

As a result, we grow to treat others kindly and care about them. We seek to serve and help people. We do whatever we can to eliminate the suffering of others.

However, meditation can help us tackle problems in two ways: (1) Meditation can control our unhealthy physical responses to challenges that come our way. In meditation, the heart beats slower, and our body and mind relax. When the body is calm, physical reactions to stress are moderated. Thus, meditation provides a defense mechanism against stress, and we can confront problems without upsetting our physiological systems. Meditation provides a way to control our reactions. (2) Meditation changes our angle of vision such that we begin to see life and all the ups and downs, from a different perspective. With this shift, we are able to face problems in a calm and poised manner.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8220;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"sos-number-head-container\">\n<div class=\"sos-number-container sos-right-border\"><span class=\"sos-head-number\">4<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"sos-head-container\">\n<h4 class=\"sos-right-side-head\">Meditation <br \/> Eliminates the Fear of Death<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sos-number-text-conatiner\">\n<p>In meditation, we get glimpses into the worlds beyond, and this experience confirms for us that the soul lives on after death. Death is just a change from one state of existence to another. It is like removing our coat. We toss off this physical vesture for the spiritual one. We see that we exist beyond the death of the physical body. We lose our fear of death. This brings inner peace as we face the challenges of life.

Rather than reacting immediately, we can take a moment of silent meditation. Putting ourselves in a meditative state is a defense against reacting in a way that produces stress.

We experience inner peace. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8220;on|on|on&#8220; admin_label=&#8220;Video&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_color=&#8220;#93d3ec&#8220; disabled=&#8220;on&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;on&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; width=&#8220;60%&#8220; width_tablet=&#8220;80%&#8220; width_phone=&#8220;90%&#8220; width_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_video src=&#8220;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tuGum_eHU2g&#038;list=PLBMCmxwJKwVsHwo6c6oL5M8Z8TRjXgUgE&#038;index=43&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8220;Inner and Outer Peace&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_enable_color=&#8220;off&#8220; collapsed=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8220;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8220;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; text_orientation=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_tablet=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_phone=&#8220;justified&#8220; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sos-text-carlson-pro sos-med-head sos-text-align-left\">Inner and Outer Peace<\/h3>\n<p>The benefits of meditation, however, do not stop with us.
