"Meditation is the level of absorbtion when one has an actual experience of God" - Swami Kriyananda⁠ ⁠ Yogananda teaches us that Joy, Peace, Calmness, Love, Power, Light, Wisdom and Sound are the eight aspects of God.⁠ ⁠ Meditation is listening to God.⁠ ⁠ We can feel His presence when we focus on any of these aspects and hold onto their resonance as we sit in the silence of our meditations.

"Meditation is the act of listening for, and hopefully, in time, listening to, God’s whispered response in the soul." —Swami Kriyananda⁠ ⁠ How can we listen to God? ⁠ ⁠ That ability is exactly what we are trying to develop in meditation. Meditation is listening, and more specifically: listening to God. That listening is possible only in silence: the more emotions, the less we can we hear Him; the more thoughts, the less our divine perceptions; the more physical movements, the less it is possible

Thus, with the right attitude and the right tools, service should not be overlooked as a powerful tool to help us on our spiritual journey.⁠ ⁠ In fact, Paramhansa Yogananda taught a path to liberation that combines both meditation and service.⁠ ⁠ Here are just a few key concepts to keep in mind to help us

🕉Chakras are centers of energy that go up through the middle of our bodies (called the astral spine) from the base of the spine up through the top of the head.⁠ ⁠ Each chakra expresses a different quality, such as love or power. These qualities can manifest in a positive or negative way, depending on which direction our energy is heading. When we raise our energy inward and upward, it also raises our consciousness, which clears away bad habits and desires, and eventually we attain liberation.⁠
