PYRAMID MEDITATION
Crystal Meditation Pyramid
Why meditation?
All living things require cosmic energy to be alive. This includes all human beings, all animals, even all plants. When a baby is born, he is full of cosmic energy. As he ages, his cosmic energy is reduced continually. When his cosmic energy is depleted to a low level, he suffers from illnesses. When his comic energy runs out, he dies. The same is true with all human beings, all animals, and all plants.
When a baby is born, he is a bundle of cosmic energy. He grows and matures at a rate no grownups can match. When a toddler gets hurt such as scratching his skin, the wound heals almost overnight leaving no scar. A kid can run around all day long without feeling tired. We grownups have no match for that. A kid can learn very quickly. He can learn several languages without mixing them up. A youngster can learn anything such as piano or skiing faster than grownups. Why? Newborn ones are full of cosmic energy. Ours have depleted.
Cosmic energy, or qi as the Chinese calls it, is expended in the day, and is replenished to some extend at night when we sleep. Depending on our activities in the day, and our life-style, cosmic energy is replenished to various extend, but not completely. Hence day-by-day, year after year, as we grow older, our cosmic energy reserve becomes less and less, until we run out of it and then pass away.
Cosmic energy replenishment at night when we sleep is unconscious. It happens as a course of nature without any effort of our own. However it is insufficient to replenish all that we expend in the day. Hence we lose cosmic energy as we age. One way to replenish cosmic energy is through meditation. Meditation is a conscious and focused way to replenish cosmic energy, as opposed to the unconscious replenishment through sleep and rest. Hour for hour, meditation is more effective to replenish cosmic energy than sleep. Hence a regular meditation practitioner requires less sleep.
