Meditation part 3: the inner plane
part 1 and part 2
When you’re not in our current concious reality, chances are you’re dreaming or moving around in your subconcious mind. In fact, the average person dreams for one to two hours a night, although 60% of people don’t remember their dreams at all.
But what kind of adventures can you go on in your sleeping mind? There are such things as lucid dreaming, as well as all kinds of astral planes you can travel to with practice that can potentially be dangerous. But let’s start simple our own inner plane.
The inner plane may be the first place you go to when you meditate or dream. If you’ve ever seen BBC Sherlock, it’s not all that different to a ‘mind palace.’ In this plane, you have control over things as you would in a dream, and can store all kinds of memories which you will miraculously remember. Some people even construct buildings that they can use when communicating with spirits. The best way to reach your inner plane would be to reach a deep state of meditation and begin developing an area of your mind to look how you want. For instance, my inner realm can be reached immediately through practice, and one thing I have there is a tree resembling that of the tree of life or Bodhi tree which I use in meditation practices. I actually reached it and understood it properly through a risky game called ‘triangle’ we had tried at Halloween, which I wouldn’t advise. You should try and develop yours, and take time to visit it, through meditation.
These practices are a build up in order to help you grasp the more difficult and dangerous astral travel and lucid dreaming. Bear in mind that astral travel involves moving through astral planes that aren’t your own, and it takes a lot of practice and safety. So take time, and be careful!
