fundamental spiritual practices. I hope this meditation will help people, just like it
helped us in due time, to comprehend reality and get a personal spiritual experience in
knowing your own Soul and, thanks to the deepest feelings, reach an understanding of
what true Freedom really is.
Rigden: This can be done.
Anastasia: But before you proceed with the technique of doing this unique meditation, I
would like to clarify some significant moments with you for the readers, first of all the
ones related to understanding what an altered state of consciousness during meditation
is. You know, I faced such cases when people, even after reading the books, did
meditations, to put it mildly, simply with imagination. In a detailed discussion, it turned
out that they just did not understand what a meditation really was, what an altered state
of consciousness in practice was, although they had read about it a lot. In some cases,
people, thinking that they were meditating, in fact remained practically in the waking
state, which is typical for them during the day, without bothering to switch to a different
state of consciousness. That is why they often had thoughts about everyday affairs,
about their current work, everyday life, experiences during the day and so on; in other

such a meditation, as a theory, happened only in their imagination. In other cases, people
simply fell asleep instead of meditating. Generally, it happened after they got exhausted
during the work day and then sat down to meditate. Sleep, as it is known, is also one of
the altered states of consciousness. So they mistook it for meditation, and that is why

despite being tired after a work day, they in fact did not see any results.
Rigden: These people need to understand what altered states of consciousness are, what

relaxation of the body, by mental calmness and drowsiness. But this is only an indicator
of the beginning of an altered state of consciousness. The division comes later: some
people get immersed in meditation (a conscious control of the subtle processes of the
invisible world) while others fall asleep (the unconscious state).
Anastasia: I'm saying just the same! In other words, people lack a real practical
understanding of what a true meditation is and how it really takes place.
Rigden: I would advise these people to, first of all, understand what an elementary
