Cayce's Simple "Magic of the Silence" Technique

There are many techniques for meditating. An easy, simple one is to sit comfortably and combine deep breathing with meaningful phrases. It does require that you use what Cayce called "the imaginative forces," but we all can do that. Let's use the line from Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." Here's how we use this phrase in combination with our breathing. Sit comfortably. Inhale deeply and say to yourself (in your mind and heart), "Be still." Now, as you hold your inhaled breath, FEEL stillness throughout your being. As you do this, exhale gently and leave your breath empty for a moment, continuing to feel stillness. Do this inhalation and exhalation in combination with the phrase a few times. Then, change the phrase on the next inhalation to, "Know that I am God." Now, as you hold your inhaled breath, FEEL God throughout your being - body, mind, and soul. Do this inhalation and exhalation in combination with the phrase a few times. At some point in this process you will become still and will have a sense of God's presence - this is when you stop directing the breath and using the words. Now you abide in the stillness and the Presence. Your job is to abide here in the silence and the Presence, allow them to work their magic within you. Your job is to simply be still and know God. When the meditation begins to conclude, share some of the wonderfully sublime vibrations and clearer, higher consciousness with others through prayer for them as you picture them in your mind and heart while sitting with God's Presence. Then, go live your day fully. The magic will work throughout the day, often subliminally but effectively ways.
