NUMEROLOGY AND MEDITATION

Meditation stills the mind, relaxes the body and rejuvenates the spirit. As you will find, meditating with numbers is a wonderful tool for inner and outer transformation. There are many ways to meditate but whichever method or technique you choose, the goal is the same. It is to be at peace with the world and within yourself. The universal approach suggests that you:

•  Find a quiet place to meditate for at least twenty minutes or more.

•  Take several deep breaths.

•  Relax as much as possible.

Since the nature of the mind is to wander, it is best to visualise, rather than try to still the mind. This is simply because the latter takes a lot of effort. In the case of Numerology, it is best to focus on the particular number you are dwelling on.

With a Numerology meditation, you have a choice of two methods. First, you can focus on your day of birth. For instance, if you were born on the 30 th of the month, you would be a number three person (3 + 0 = 3). Since this is your key number, you would focus on it first. The second approach trusts the unconscious to come up with answers. To begin, you must think about the concern or person that has been troubling you. Then select any three numbers that come to mind and add the numbers to arrive at a single digit. Visualise the number, then try as best you can to associate any relationship to it. Let's say you chose the number 7. See in your “mind's eye” and try to associate any symbol, relationship, or experience you may have had in the past or present.

MEDITATING ON THE NUMBERS

Meditation for the Number 1

Visualise oneness of purpose. Realise the oneness is God and a part of the Divine scheme. See yourself setting goals, being in control, making decisions and taking charge of your life. Visualise the new things that you want to do. See yourself in action, whatever or wherever that may be. Set no limitations on your mind, for you are the pioneer. With the mental vision and a positive approach to life, you are sure to reach to your goals.

Meditation for the Number 2

Think of yourself in partnership with the universal mind and Spirit. See yourself as a beacon for others that lights the way through the dark passages of life. Recognize that giving and sharing with others will warm the coldest hearts of those you come into contact with. You want to establish harmony, beauty, and above all, love. Exercise patience and it will prove a blessing. Be open and receptive to what is offered by life. Be sympathetic to those in need, or those who do not know the way.

Meditation for the Number 3

Visualise the best part of yourself – that part of you that lies hidden and really needs to be expressed. Visualise youth and vitality all around you. Recall those wonderful experiences of your youth, that time in your life that was filled with carefree moments. Think positive, think big, and acquire big results. Visualise growth, good fortune and fun. Enjoy your passion. See yourself coming alive.

Meditation for the Number 4

Meditate upon the Divine order of the universe. Meditate on your Divine role in the Divine plan. “As above, so below,” is an ancient spiritual saying. See yourself establishing order on a smaller scale not only in your personal life but also in your surrounding environment. There are no barriers or boundaries that are not there to offer you a lesson, to demonstrate that even in chaos there is order. Visualise in your mind the type of world you want in the future for yourself and others. The future as well as the past holds the key to what keeps your present house in order.

Meditation for the Number 5

Visualise yourself as the wind. You know no limits, no boundaries. You have no ties. Visualise yourself changing, enjoying your freedom. See yourself breaking old patterns. Be open to the opportunities around you and to communications of all kinds. Visualise your mind as fertile as the banks of a river, soaking up knowledge, learning, teaching and helping others to aspire to a higher order in the total scheme of things.

Meditation for the Number 6

Imagine yourself as the Cosmic Mother or Father setting the example for others. Visualise yourself as the hub of the wheel around which everything revolves, offering help and comfort wherever you can. See the beauty, dignity and grace in yourself and others that lie beneath the surface. Now is the time to act as a role model, demonstrating the goodness in all of us, pointing the way to a better life.

Meditation for the Number 7

This is the natural home for meditation, visualisation and all things mystical. Know that the Divine will protect and comfort you. Acknowledge God's wisdom in the nature of things. See yourself as a magnet, attracting others you meet along the way, showing them a deeper, more cosmic understanding of the cause and effect that governs every aspect of human life, nature and the universe. Discover the peace within. Walk with confidence, knowing that you are Divinely protected wherever you go.

Meditation for the Number 8

Visualise the power within you – the power to make a difference, to make a change for the better. Imagine yourself as a philosopher, a yogi, sharing the wisdom of your past and present experiences with others. Be confident that your inner strength will see you through, no matter what happens, no matter how great the stress, or how hard the struggle. It is just a test of a higher order, challenging you to find your way in life, to play the role you must ultimately serve.

Meditation for the Number 9

See yourself as one with the Cosmos, in complete harmony with universal time and space. Visualise yourself as all encompassing. Know that you too are part of the universal mind that is filled with endless knowledge waiting to serve you. Rise above all limitations. Know that we are all simply a universal reflection of God. Visualise yourself as an influence for good for those who come into your sphere. Set the example by spiritual words and deeds.
