Questions about Meditation – Becoming self-aware (part 2)

Page 1 of 10 

 Angel: Welcome to a new lesson on Meditation. Today I will answer all your questions, take this opportunity to clear up your doubts about the meditation technique. 

 Student: Hi Angel. Thank you for the opportunity. I’d like to ask you: why do we use complete silence during meditation? 

 Angel: Hi! The purpose of Meditation is to help us evolve and to allow us to recognize abilities we previously didn’t have access to, due to excessive mental distractions. As you can see, spending time thinking – as we always do – does not evolve our abilities, so we need to recognize our mistakes and change our approach. Our thoughts are mostly influenced by external sources, thus by other people, by presences, as well as by external energy programs, which tend to be mostly negative. Thoughts are influenced and manipulated, unlike perception in mental silence which, if evolved to high levels, cannot be conditioned. For this reason, through meditation in absolute non-thought, we strive to evolve our sensory functions, so we can follow guidance that isn’t influenced by external factors but knows the real truth. Through meditation, we want to allow our higher Consciousness to communicate and guide us, to always let us know what the right path is and the best choice to make rather than committing mistakes we’ll regret, just because we were influenced by the masses, by negativity, or by the decisions of others. In fact, It doesn’t speak in words! If we decide to keep thinking even during meditation, as we do all the time in our daily life, we repeat the same mistake endlessly because we prevent the “voice” of our more evolved Self from communicating, suffocating it with a thousand thoughts and distractions. The higher Self communicates through intuition. Thoughts and mental chatter easily take over and make you forget to focus on your true life purpose, constantly distracting you with something else; in this way, you always forget yourself. Meditation helps you recognize that you can live perfectly well even if you’re spending half an hour a day not thinking about your problems or doubts, discovering that you will live even better than you expected. Not only that; during that half hour you’ll be allowing your abilities to evolve and your Self to breathe, giving yourself the opportunity to become aware. Every time you think and dwell, every time you let yourself be overwhelmed by doubts in your life, you are allowing negative influences to enter, giving free access to others or to something else to steer your thoughts in the direction they’ve chosen for you instead of your own. Unfortunately thoughts can be influenced, and it happens more easily than you think; that’s why we need to take time for ourselves and remain in non-thought, because even a few minutes can help you understand, become aware of yourself, and avoid being influenced from the outside. 

 Student: Hi Angel. I find it very difficult to maintain mental silence while meditating. I need to know if this obstacle is common among other students too because I’m really struggling. When I silence the words, images come to me, including some that don’t even appear when I’m not meditating. Today, for example, I saw the face of a classmate from elementary school, someone I remembered only from a photo and hadn’t seen in 40 years, and I wasn’t thinking about her at all. It’s incredible how my mind finds every way possible just to make me think. 

 Page 2 of 10 

 Angel: Hi! As you can clearly see by reading all the questions from other students in the various articles, non-thought is difficult for everyone, so don’t worry about being the only one! Non-thought is the most complicated technique precisely because it’s the most important one: it is the key to the evolution of all other abilities. 

 If it were simple, everyone would already be enlightened, yet the evidence clearly proves the opposite. You’ve noticed how difficult it is to maintain non-thought because, even though it’s a technique underestimated by many, the moment you try to practice it, something tries to throw at you every kind of junk thought, literally anything! Just to keep you from staying in mental silence for a few minutes, it pulls out even the oldest memories or the most absurd fantasy images and throws them at you to distract you. It’s a good thing you’ve noticed this, because many instead fall into the trap and engage with those thoughts, diving into various imaginations and forgetting the true purpose of meditation. As if that weren’t enough, many give in to the thoughts thrown at them and delude themselves into thinking they are somehow evolutionary, even though they are merely fantasy. The fact that you are recognizing the mechanism your brain activates the moment you try to meditate is an excellent beginning, because you’re starting to understand how the Low works, and not just that. 

 You will realize how important non-thought truly is, especially considering how much effort is put into trying to prevent you from maintaining it. Additionally, there’s another reason why, when you start meditating, all these thoughts, images, and sometimes even long mental movie-like scenes come to mind. Meditation is very delicate; its effects are, so to speak, “gentle,” so you don’t immediately notice what it’s doing because it has a light touch. In reality, however, meditation has a much greater impact than you can feel. While you’re practicing, it’s actually cleansing your mind of traumas, thoughts, and memories… it’s digging through your mind and cleaning everything out, not just the bad memories! So while it’s clearing and creating order in your mind, it can happen that some of these thoughts resurface and you see them. The energy you absorb during meditation moves through the thoughts in your mind to purify them, to clear them of any negative programs – which you weren’t even aware of – and it works on hundreds and hundreds of data points all at once, so among all of that, some will rise to the surface. It works in your unconscious, in the rooms of your memory, and it jumps from thought to memory without following a chronological order, so you might recall both moments from many years ago and recent ones all at once. In your mind, there are layers upon layers of dust and dirt that have been there for a long time and settled deep within, so you’re not aware of how much filth there actually is. So when you sweep the floor, the buildup of dust rises and fills the room with grey air, making you cough from the clouds of dust that have formed, showing you how dirty it really was and how much it needs a proper cleaning. And yet, until you swept, you didn’t realize how dirty it was. 

In the same way, when you meditate you are shaking out the rugs, and by doing so all the dust that had hidden within the fibers – making it seem like everything was fine and clean – resurfaces, showing you that it wasn’t actually clean. When you cleanse your mind through meditation, you stir up the dust of negative energies that had accumulated, and some of it rises to the surface precisely because you are cleaning it. What’s the next step? Preventing that dust from settling back in and dirtying everything again. That’s why while we meditate, the energy cleans our mind by bringing certain memories to the surface, and we must still remain in non-thought, so that the negative energies leave and go away, instead of returning to their place and dirtying things again. If instead you remain focused on each thought that resurfaces, you would hold those energies inside you and throw the dust back under the rugs of your home. Non-thought must be consistent, so maintain it while you meditate to allow it to cleanse your mind, and keep it even when the dust rises to the surface in order to complete the cleaning. 

 Student: Why do so many other spiritual people teach to observe thoughts while meditating? 

 Page 3 of 10 

 Angel: Simple, because not being able to maintain non-thought themselves, they want to prevent others from being able to do it too, so they don’t feel like the only ones incapable. Many people give in to thought and even prefer to delude themselves that observing it (therefore thinking during meditation) is an evolutionary action. Yet they will go their whole lives without experiencing psychic evolution nor awakened faculties. It’s no coincidence that people who waste their time observing their own thoughts instead of meditating in absolute non-thought don’t resolve anything in their lives, despite claiming to practice. It’s obvious: they’re not meditating, they’re just saying they know how to do it, which is not the same as actually doing it correctly. 

 Student: I think meditating is the hardest thing for me. 

 Angel: I thought so too at the beginning of my journey, then I understood that I was the one making it complicated. You just need good will. 

 Student: I wanted to know how to get rid of anxiety. Is there a specific meditation? 
 
Angel: The meditation is always the same: focus well on deep breathing and breathe in white prana while meditating on the chakras. In this way, consistent practice will allow you to eliminate anxiety and stress. I too suffered from anxiety and asthma for many years, and I completely got rid of it only after I started practicing meditation. So meditate on the chakras as I’ve advised you and you will see for yourself how true it is that meditation heals these problems. 

 Student: I recently enrolled in the Academy and started meditating with you, but I find it more complicated than expected. I can’t completely empty my mind of fears, anguish, and worries. What can I do? 

 ngel: Learning non-thought isn’t easy, nor does it take little time; it requires commitment and, above all, consistency. These words are often heard, but few truly understand what they mean. By commitment, I mean that when you meditate, you must make an effort to stay focused for as long as possible instead of giving in to thoughts without putting up the slightest resistance. Many complain that they can’t master the technique, but how many are truly putting in the effort? It’s much easier to spend time listening to music and thinking about your problems or fantasies and then, after 30 minutes, complain that you couldn’t maintain non-thought. The technique isn’t magical, it doesn’t work on its own. You are the one who must make the effort to learn the method and complete a meditation session by focusing on mental silence. Also, consistency is absolutely necessary. What is consistency? It’s the continuation of the technique day after day. If you practiced meditation a while ago but then stopped, it doesn’t mean that today you’ll magically wake up and find yourself capable of perfect non-thought. Meditation is not magic. 

 Angel: Evolution comes through consistent practice, that means doing the technique every single day without skipping for long periods of time. To obtain results, you must meditate daily, not just every other day or once and then not again for a week; otherwise it’s clear that the tangible benefits will seem like they never arrive. To improve your detachment from fear, anxiety, and worry, you need to focus more on relaxation, which will also increase your stability and make you more capable in the technique of non-thought. The chakras offer incredible support in overcoming these issues, so I recommend meditating on them. 

 Student: When I meditate, I unfortunately can’t stop thinking. For example, you say I should focus on a chakra, but isn’t that still a thought? 
 

Page 4 of 10 

 Angel: Thinking is one thing, focusing is another. Let me explain the difference. Remaining in non-thought means that during meditation you shouldn’t be thinking about household tasks, desires you wish to fulfill, fantasies of various kind, nor memories that come to your mind; you shouldn’t think in words nor images, but rather stay present in this very moment, focused only on your chakra without letting your mind wander through thoughts on the past or on the future and forgetting what you’re doing Here and Now. Focusing on the chakra, instead, allows you to stay aware of the present moment: Here (where you are) and Now (in this exact moment). Thinking and fantasizing are very different from concentrating, because thinking takes you elsewhere, away from where you are now, and thus distracts you; focusing, on the other hand, makes you aware of this moment, of where you are now and of what you are doing. Thinking makes you unconscious, focusing makes you Conscious. 

 Student: I started your meditation just a few days ago and I’m reading the first Step more carefully. Usually, while I meditate, I feel as if I’m falling asleep, yet I’m still awake. Also, after meditating, I feel the need to sleep and I experience dreams within dreams until I finally manage to wake up for real. What could this be? 

 Angel: You’ve only just started meditating, so don’t expect to understand everything that’s happening right away—give yourself time to understand through more sessions. While meditating, if you’re practicing the relaxation well, your body relaxes so deeply that it might feel heavy, as if it’s falling asleep, even though you’re still alert and awake. There’s nothing strange about this. For the same reason, you feel like resting, thanks to the deep relaxation achieved through meditation. Your body is well relaxed, and just like it happens every day (or rather every night), when the body relaxes deeply it tends to fall asleep; that’s why people who are too tense struggle to fall asleep and often suffer from insomnia. However, meditation is meant to awaken you, not put you to sleep. That’s why, even when your body relaxes and tries to make you fall asleep, you must make the effort to stay awake and aware, focused on your chakras. It all depends on the goal you’ve assigned to your meditation: do you want to use it just to relax? In that case, relax and sleep better.  

 But if your goal is to improve your life and awaken your mental and spiritual abilities, don’t let meditation be just a moment of relaxation, rather, practice it with a more serious mindset, just as you would for any other goal you truly want to achieve. So even if you get sleepy, I suggest you don’t go to bed until nighttime: sleeping every afternoon and after every meditation session will cause you to “sleep” in every sense, lowering your vibrations and drastically reducing the effects of the practice, ultimately distancing you from true awareness and spiritual evolution. 

 Student: Hi Angel. I always feel very tired because I sleep little. Will meditation give me more energy in this area too? 

 Angel: Yes, absolutely. When you meditate, you absorb energy that first of all helps your physical well-being, and then it goes on to improve your sensory abilities. Depending on how much you meditate, your health will improve more quickly, and with it, your physical energy for daily activities; secondly, your mind will evolve. Your body will use the energy gained from meditation to cleanse itself and improve your health, your internal and external well-being, your mood, physical problems, etc. So it will give you more energy, you will feel more relaxed, able to carry out tasks in the best way, you will be more alert and awake, more conscious, more energetic, because the first effect of meditation is seen in your physical and emotional well-being.

 Student: If I fall asleep before the end of the meditation, is it as if I haven’t done anything? I keep track of time with music but I’m never precise, is that a problem? 

 Angel: Yes, falling asleep during meditation means you haven’t completed the session, so of course, it’s as if you didn’t do it. You need to try to stay awake, focusing well on the chakras. Also, you need to keep the correct timing, so you can help yourself with bells or your phone timer, setting it to ring at the end of the right number of minutes. Or you can use one of the many mixes we’ve made available on our youtube channel. 

 Student: Is there a bit of flexibility, or do we have to be super precise? 

 Angel: There’s no need to be rigid, what’s important is that you take meditation seriously rather than doing it your own way and not getting good results, ending up criticizing meditation while the mistake was yours for making up the technique or the steps as you pleased, and it was not the fault of meditation itself. 

 Student: Hi Angel. When you say “breathe prana from the chakra,” should I imagine breathing with that area as if it were a lung? 

 Angel: In a way, yes, but I see it more like a pouch that keeps filling with every breath, not like a balloon that inflates and deflates as you breathe, but like a sack that is continuously filled, more and more, to the point that it expands and grows in order to hold more energy, thus making the chakra evolve. 

 Student: During meditation, how do I find the exact point of the chakra to focus on? 

 Angel: There’s no need to measure with a ruler to find the exact spot, because what matters is staying in the right area, so even if you’re off by 2 cm, nothing bad happens. What’s important is that if you want to meditate on the Heart chakra, you don’t place your fingers on your head; otherwise, you won’t find that chakra, okay? 

 Student: Ahahah alright! I perceive the Mind chakra better than the others, I feel that it’s different, while the others stay quiet. 

 Angel: Yes, chakras are all different from one another. In fact, some are felt immediately while others take time. For example, the Chi chakra is usually the most difficult one to meditate on because at first it tends to give very few signals. Over time, it will become the exact opposite—it’s the most physical chakra and, if well-trained, it will give more signals than the others, which might seem quieter. The Mind chakra, on the other hand, is generally the one that gives the most signals at the beginning of the journey; it might even start pulsating during the day outside of meditation, and that’s a great sign! Anyway, to repeat, if you place your fingers a little higher or lower, it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re in the right area. Just stay centered, not to the right or the left, and you’ll definitely find it. 

 Page 6 of 10 

 Student: A few days ago, my Mind chakra was “pulsing” all day—is that a good thing? 

Angel: Yes, it’s completely normal and a good sign. 

 Student: I wanted to know if it’s normal that with meditation I start to feel a tingling on my head, particularly on the Crown. And then an itch all over my head. 

 Angel: Of course, it’s normal, because it’s the energy starting to move, and it can give you the sensation of tingling. It’s a great sign. 

 Student: During meditation, when I’m supposed to breathe in prana, usually during the visualization I can’t picture light coming in, but I imagine a very white fog. Is that okay too? 

 Angel: Yes, no problem. Over time, you’ll improve your ability to perceive energy and you’ll see it much brighter and more clearly. 
 
Student: I tried meditating on the chakras for the first time and I really liked it. Relaxing was easy since I’m already used to it. The hardest part for me is visualizing the color white. It’s generally very difficult for me to visualize colors; the easiest color for me to see is electric blue (I don’t know why). I spent almost half an hour trying to visualize the color, and in the end it was a light gray. I went ahead with the chakras anyway, but is there any “trick” to do it better? 

 Angel: This was your first meditation, so it’s normal it didn’t go perfectly, but don’t worry because visualization is not the main goal of the practice; the goal is to concentrate on the chakras. Don’t rush, there are no shortcuts to speed up your evolution beyond what I’m teaching you. Keep training and you’ll see that with daily consistent practice you’ll achieve great results. 
 
Student: Thank you, Angel. In the meditation document, you say to clear the mind, but then you also say to visualize the energy entering our chakra. How can we clear the mind if we do that? 

 Angel: The visualization lasts only a few seconds, then you clear your mind. So follow it step by step: when the guide tells you to visualize, visualize the white prana, then when it tells you to remain in mental silence, stay in non-thought. 

 Student: Hi Angel. I started directly with the chakra meditation because the preparation exercises are harder for me. I don’t see the light, nor feel it, so I get distracted and have less control over my mind. 

 Angel: Hi! The preparation exercises are exactly meant to improve your meditation and help you reach deeper relaxation levels. That’s why it’s important not to skip the preparation, otherwise you risk not being able to practice the meditation well. However, it’s not a problem because the Chakra Meditation itself teaches you also how to relax. So keep going with that exercise and focus on practicing every single step that the guiding voice indicates.  

Page 7 of 10 

Student: I have been meditating for a short time and for me it is a new but pleasantly interesting experience. I have a practical question: if I imagine white prana while inhaling, what should I “imagine” while exhaling? 

 Angel: The goal is to keep bringing prana inside us, so even when you exhale you continue to absorb prana and expand it within yourself. Instinctively, you might think that every time you breathe in you bring prana in, and when you breathe out you should release prana; but don’t follow that logic, because when you meditate you have to absorb prana even during exhalation. Chakras don’t work like lungs, they don’t need to push out air: they can continue absorbing prana without stopping. 

 Student: During meditation, can I induce the feeling of happiness through a happy memory? 
 
Angel: During meditation, it is best to maintain non-thought, so you shouldn’t even think about happy memories, because they would still keep you tied to a past memory instead of remaining completely focused on the present and on what you are doing. 

 Student: I only started my journey only a week ago. I find it difficult to stay in non-thought and to concentrate on the chakra at the same time. Is there any particular tactic to favor non-thinking? Or should I just keep insisting? 

 Angel: It’s normal at the beginning to have difficulty with this exercise, because you have been used to thinking in words your whole life, so now not-thinking seems impossible. It is a matter of habit and it will take some time before you get used to it and manage to keep your concentration focused on the chakra, because that is the secret: to remain concentrated on the chakra in order to increase mental silence. It’s a gradual process: first learn to stay focused on your chakra, this way you won’t think about other things; then, little by little, by practicing and training more and more, you will reach the point where you will feel the chakra without needing to think in words nor images about what you are doing. Practice will improve you in everything. 
 
Student: I can relax and I feel a beneficial sensation in my body, but I can’t relax my mind. What can I do? 

 Angel: Don’t worry, relaxation mustn’t be a battle; keep practicing meditation and you will see that little by little your mental relaxation will improve too. The key is breathing prana, because the more prana you breathe in, the more relaxed you will feel. 

 Student: I started a couple of days ago with meditation for relaxation and meditation in non-thought, and I wanted to ask if I can have relaxing music playing in the background or if it has to be completely silent. 

Page 8 of 10 

 Angel: Of course, you can use music to help you relax, and I recommend trying one of the meditation mixes we offer on the Meditazione di ACD youtube channel. 

 Student: I tried the chakra meditation, and after a while, I saw moving geometric shapes; I also saw a very violent accident on a beach, which seemed impossible to me. What happened? Is it me, or did something connect with me? I’m puzzled. It all happened towards the end of the meditation! 

 Angel: Ignore any fantasies that come up during meditation and set them aside; they are just fantasies destined to distract you. Focus only on staying concentrated on the chakra and don’t think about anything else, not even symbols, colors, nor anything else. 

 Student: During meditation, while I was imagining taking in the sunlight (which I was barely able to do), I imagined a friend of mine in front of me. As soon as I touched his forehead with my index finger, he lit up—and so did I, even more than I was before. What does that mean? 
 
Angel: These images appear to distract you and prevent you from practicing a proper, effective meditation. I recommend setting these images aside and focusing solely on the actual meditation technique. Remember, though, that when you meditate you should absorb prana from the universe, not from the sun. 

 Student: To be able to do more meditations, if I don’t have a full half hour available, can I meditate on one chakra at a time in different moments? Like, if I’m in the car for 10 minutes and meditate on the Chi, then later I’m in a waiting room for another 10 minutes and I meditate on the Solar Plexus, and so on. Can it still be considered meditation if I accumulate all the chakras at different times? 
 
Angel: Not exactly. It can be considered as charging the chakras outside of meditation, but it cannot be regarded as a true meditation because meditation requires remaining in mental silence with closed eyes for about half an hour straight, focused solely on the meditation and nothing else. So, meditation should not be divided into different parts but must be completed entirely in one continuous session. 

 Student: I tried your meditation and found it very relaxing, congratulations. I just wanted to understand why you count the chakras as eight: weren’t there seven? I remember this from other meditations I had tried on my own in the past. 
 
Angel: There are 8 chakras, but you should know that the Kundalini chakra and the Sexual chakra are very close to each other, and many people confuse them, thinking they are a single chakra. This happens because they have little experience and rely only on theory they have read, instead of practicing the techniques and discovering that they are two distinct, separate chakras. That’s why many recognize 7 chakras, while I distinguish 8. 

 Student: I have just started meditating, I have done only three meditations so far, taken from Step 1. I sit with my legs in a half-lotus position (I can’t do more than that), but after about twenty minutes I am forced to stretch out my left leg because it becomes numb. So my question is: is it better to meditate for 20 minutes and then stretch the leg losing concentration, or is it better to sit normally from the start? 

Page 9 of 10 

Angel: At the beginning, it’s completely normal for your body to fall asleep or feel uncomfortable from a position you’re not used to. But, like with everything, after some practice you’ll see how your legs will stay comfortable throughout the meditation without going numb. Meanwhile, until you get used to it, you can comfortably stretch your leg as soon as it starts to hurt, because the distraction is really minimal. I do many meditations in a row, and after a few hours in the same position sometimes my leg or foot starts to go numb, so I stretch them out and that doesn’t cause me any problem. So the choice is yours, if you prefer, you can sit on a chair or in half-lotus; choose each time, but don’t worry. However, my advice is to start meditation sitting in half-lotus, and only when the position becomes uncomfortable you can stretch your leg; this way you start getting used to the position and little by little it will be easier to keep it for the whole duration of the technique. 
 
Student: The full lotus position is very uncomfortable for me; I have to move after about 10 minutes. 

 Angel: The full lotus position is very difficult and not even necessary. I actually recommend practicing the half lotus, which is definitely much easier for everyone; you just need to get used to it, and everyone has their own timing. When you feel discomfort, simply stretch your leg out and get comfortable. Don’t let such a small thing distract or discourage you. 

 Student: I meditate in half lotus, with two low cushions to raise my hips, legs on the floor, and my back resting against the wall. My problem is that my legs, and especially my ankles (towards the end of the meditation, although lately a bit less), hurt. Also, my back starts to hurt after a while (after about three-quarters of the meditation). What do you recommend? 
 
Angel: If you find that position uncomfortable, don’t worry—put something soft under your ankles and behind your back. It’s simply a matter of physical habit; it’s a position you probably didn’t take before because you had no reason to. You definitely shouldn’t be suffering, so you need to make yourself as comfortable as possible before starting to meditate. If you feel discomfort during meditation, adjust yourself again as you feel best and resume the meditation from where you left off. This small interruption won’t ruin your meditation session. 

 Student: Since the documents talk a lot about the correct position during meditation in order to have the chakras—especially the Crown chakra—aligned from bottom to top, favoring the half-lotus position, which is often difficult to do, can one meditate with their legs stretched out? If I sit on the bed with my legs stretched out, is the quality of the meditation the same? 

 Angel: The difference is really minimal, we’re talking about a very small percentage, but I recommend starting your meditation in the half-lotus position and then, only when you start to get tired, stretching out your legs and sitting however feels most comfortable. Each day, try to stay in the same position a little longer than the time before; this way, in a short time, not even a month, you’ll have learned to stay in the half-lotus position without discomfort. So don’t worry, the important thing is to be comfortable. 

 Page 10 of 10 

 Student: Sometimes I feel like I only sense the effects of meditation a while after finishing, like feeling better, more positive, and energized; it doesn’t happen right away or during the meditation itself. Is that normal? 

 Angel: Yes, of course. You’ve just started practicing, so you still need to adapt to meditation and learn to recognize its effects. But like anything else, it’s normal to feel the effects afterward and not necessarily at the exact moment you’re practicing. When you go to the gym, you notice how your muscles strengthen the day after and in the days that follow, even if it might seem like you are not gaining results while you’re actually exercising. That’s because the effects of training continue to act even while you’re at rest, not just during the activity. The point is, if you don’t practice, you don’t trigger your evolution, just like if you don’t move, you can’t strengthen your muscles. 
 
Student: To meditate properly, do we need to be in a “peaceful” place, free of negative energies? Because I’m sure my house has a lot of negative energy, mostly brought in by a family member; I’m not sure if that could be a problem. 

 Angel: You’re meditating precisely to make that place more positive, so there’s nothing else to expect. If you live in a house with negative energy, it’s not a problem: you will change it through meditation, making it more positive. If you had to change the energy of a room that was already extremely positive, you wouldn’t even feel that motivated to practice. We’re practicing specifically to improve our lives and the energy of the environment we live in. So don’t worry. 

 Student: And by meditating, can the source of that negative energy also benefit from it, without knowing? 
 
Angel: Absolutely, meditation will also purify their energy and make them more positive, helping reduce the negativity they bring into the house. Or, in one way or another, it will make it so that when they bring negative energy, they won’t be able to stay in the house for long or will carry those influences away with them. Energy and protection are very intelligent and know exactly how to behave, even better than we do. 

 Student: Besides meditation, will you teach us other methods to stay in a state of no-thought and improve what you’ve shown us so far? 

 Angel: Of course. As you can see, the Academy’s Journey is divided into 9 Steps, in which I will teach you countless pieces of information. Each Step will be composed of 100 documents, where I’ll cover all the most important topics, adding to each one more details and answers to your questions. You’ll find all the teachings organized in the best way to enhance and simplify your learning. We’ll revisit different topics and those already covered, to make sure you understand the basics and can take them to higher levels. Through this journey, you’ll definitely learn mental silence. 
 
Student: Thank you, I’m so happy to have been accepted into the Academy, and this is my first group lesson! I’ve been meditating regularly for about 10 days now. I’ve started many times before, but then I would quit because I couldn’t stop thinking, and even now, I’m in the same situation. I can’t stop thinking, I can only do it for a few seconds and then my thoughts start again. I had come to the conclusion that meditation just wasn’t for me. But now I’m trying again. My question is: by continuing to meditate, will I eventually be able to clear my mind little by little, or is there a specific technique that could help me? 
 
Angel: You don’t need to worry if you’re struggling at first with mental silence; what’s important is to understand that at the core of everything is learning to recognize yourself, remaining aware in the moment, without thinking about the past or the future. Focus only on the present, on this exact moment, and in this way you’ll improve your ability to remain in non-thought. Words alone won’t make you evolve, you have to keep trying, trying and training. Practice is what will make you strong, because reading theory alone can’t be enough. The Low wants you to believe it’s impossible to break out of this program, and therefore that it’s impossible to stop thinking. You’ve spent your whole life thinking and overthinking, do you really think you could totally change in just a couple of days?  It takes a lot a lot of practice; and you have to start with small steps. If you’ve started again, even though it seemed like nothing had changed, it means something did change; otherwise, why would you come back? It’s only been 10 days, don’t expect to move mountains. Do you feel more motivated? That’s already a step forward, otherwise why are you still here? Because something is pushing you to continue. Non-thought will take time to become perfect, you shouldn’t feel inferior. Some people still can’t maintain it perfectly even after a few years, because it all depends on how much they’ve trained during that time, not on how much time has passed since they signed up. It’s normal, but you have to commit without getting discouraged, and you’ll see that with practice you’ll get better than you think now. It was really hard for me at the beginning too, so don’t worry. Many spiritual people gave up, but we don’t have to end up the same way. 

 Student: Thank you, Angel! Your lessons are fundamental. 

 Angel: That’s all for today, but I’ll be happy to answer your questions in the next lesson. See you soon!
