Passive Meditation:
Sitting quietly focusing on slow, quiet, deep breathing. Being aware of the wondering mind and body sensations returning focus to the rhythm of the breathing process.
Active Meditation:
Sitting quietly beginning with slow, deep breathing. Using various methods like affirmations, mantras, visualizations, symbols, energy centers, directing the flow of energy and various breathing practices.
Passive meditation is a pathway to profound insight and the transformative experience ordinary magnificence. Active meditation is a path of intentional creation and awakening of cosmic forces. The risk of active meditation is deluding oneself that a created experience is the Ultimate. The risk of passive meditation is making it a thinking, intellectual process.
