COSMIC BONES MEDITATION
A journey back to the inherently shining nature of your Sacred Self
ETHER ELEMENT
Overview
The Cosmic Bones Meditation is an original practice born to offer a safe, healing refuge and space to any individual looking to be guided in the reconnection with their own self, journeying back to their inherently shining nature. It stands as an introspective pilgrimage into the Heart, designed to facilitate an essential, symbiotic reunion with Nature and its soul, lost in the depths of the current World of Separation. Through the cultivation of a holistic approach (‘Cosmic’ for the spiritual, universal, invisible, and eternal ; ‘Bones’ for the physical, personal, perceptible, and ephemeral), a new environment opens itself, conducive to the unlocking, understanding, and honouring of the multilayerity and impermanence of the silences that color the sacredness of Life. From reframing and manifestation, new and liberating pathways emerge and blossom while leaving behind past realities, hindrances, and paradigms, allowing you to anchor yourself deeply in the Sacred Presence you heart already knows.
Practice
Focusing on expanding rather than constricting the seven layers of existence (body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, ego, self), these introspective, and self-compassionate explorations of your own being stand as a safe bridge leading to the encounter of the presence and crystallization of your inherent shining nature, breaking free from negative patterns. Cosmic Bones Meditations are an invitation to enter stillness and embrace silence, until both collapse to reveal and reconnect to the eternal essence of your being. Through the different phases of this 1h30 practice, you will be given the ability to be more in tune with the sacred rhythms of Life and Nature, while helping you to reach and cultivate a state of inner balance and harmony.
The Cosmic Bones Meditation practice was crafted to be profoundly rooted in ecospiritual consciousness principles:
- Tending: Being awake and conscious with deep, inner self reflection;
- Dwelling: Being with the seen and unseen;
- Reverence: Rediscovering the mystery presents in all creation and its embodied sense of the sacred;
- Connectedness: Cultivating an organic relationship with the Universe;
- Sentience: Cultivating a sense of knowing;
The practice gravitates around four main themes:
- Entering a new reality through introspective exploration and growth;
- Environmental reawakening;
- Finding a new rhythm in tune with the essence of Life;
- Manifestation of a healing environment;
The essence of Cosmic Bones Meditations articulates itself around four phases, constituting the core of the practice:
- Contemplative walk (preliminary phase)
- Slow prostration (opening phase)
- Formless meditation (main phase)
- Self-massage (closing phase)
I. CONTEMPLATIVE WALK (30 minutes)
The preliminary phase of the Cosmic Bones Meditation practice is a contemplative walk, meant to facilitate reconnection, reflection, release, and revitalization. Taking place in mountains and forests – the mandalas of the Universe – and usually done barefoot and in complete silence, those introspective, slow paced journeys guide you to cultivate clarity and presence of body, mind, and space. Upon entering Nature’s womb, a process of purification and ego-death begins through the weaving of an intimate cocoon, giving way to the emergence of the reality your Sacred Self knows is true. Throughout the ascending and descending phases of your walk, a space is created to allow a reunion with the essence of Life. A seed is planted, resulting in the birth and nourishment of a deep bond between the shining essence of your own self and Nature, which then further expands to finally dissolve and merge itself back into the Universal Consciousness.
II. SLOW PROSTRATION (20 minutes)
All meditation sessions begin start with one, mindful, and very slow prostration intended to lay the foundations of your practice and set your intention. This preliminary phase will gradually help you move into a state of high frequency that will guide you throughout the main meditation phase.
III. FORMLESS MEDITATION (30 minutes)
The main meditation phase is based on a non-dualistic, non-dogmatic approach, taking root in a formless, silent, and grounded journey inspired and nourished by Buddhist and Daoist traditions. It is therefore objectless and goes through four different stages meant to open gateways from a physiological and psychological perspective: Alignment (adjusting), Relaxation (settling), Stilness (anchoring), and Absorption (focusing). Sitting is done in full acceptance and detachment, letting the stream of Life flows through the emptiness of your body and mind in an equanimous way, giving space for the manifestation of a field of countless possibilities. The Burmese posture is here preferred, as it tends to suit a large spectrum of different individuals thanks to its accessibility. Hands are generally placed in a zǐwǔ jué 子午訣 mudra, designed to promote Qi circulation and connect the meridians by sealing the body. Doing so prevents energy leakage and helps to further cultivate the energetic breath that fills everything between Heaven and Earth.
IV. SELF-MASSAGE (10 minutes)
The practice ends with a short and brisk self-massage of several parts of the body, intended to further release blockages and negative emotions, promote good Qi circulation, and help you reemerge into your new reality.
