2.3.4 How to measure success in meditation.

Persistent daily practice for a minimum of fifteen minutes brings success, through time.

As one develops in the process of freeing the mind from illusory distractions, so, gradually, it becomes possible to focus the thoughts on one’s breathing. The full benefits of meditation can only be realised through rhythmical breathing, natural and uncontrolled. One begins by counting both the length of one’s breaths and their frequency; equally one sits quite still with eyes focused on the nose, or five to six feet in front – this is an aid to concentration, nothing more.

As one develops in the practice of meditation, success can be measured in the rate of breathing. Once the level of breathing slows to four times a minute or less, the benefits become significant on many levels. Gradually, there comes a complete transformation of one’s experience of daily living, easily, spontaneously and wonderfully.

This is known in all spiritual systems, or models of reality, as a transformation of consciousness. For those able to dedicate all of their energy, intelligence and concentration to the process of meditating daily, the transformation of consciousness can be effected within one hundred days. This teaching is based on the experience of the Implicate Technology Centre in using this meditative practice.
