How to do the Meditation?

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan ir-rajeem

Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem

We are trying to reach Allah’s satisfaction.  To love Awliya and to dress our self and perfect our self.  The process of Muraqabah ultimately is to be like the good characters of Shaykhs.  We are not doing Muraqabah but meditation.  We are learning how to discipline ourselves.  At Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’s level he only faces the face of power of Sultan al Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q).  One direction of power.

Meditation teaches us to sit and discipline myself and bring calm and peace and begin the process of contemplation.  After your prayers, sit facing qiblah.  You are coming to the door of Qutbul Mutasarrif, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Qabbani (q).  We are asking from his blessings to be directed to the most powerful Awliya.  We are asking the holy face of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and the presence of Prophet (saws). 

Your hands positioned on your legs and sitting on your knees.  You can also sit in the lotus position but the highest level of ‘adab’ respect is to sit on the knees.  Sultan al Awliya is under the flag of ‘Lailaha Illalah’ (there is no God but Allah).  Your focus should be on the heart.  I don’t need to fly anywhere.  It only takes the permission from Awliya (saints) to drop a veil in the heart then my light connects to its reality.  Only a drop of light has been given to me.

All of Creation is a circle and the center is the nucleus.  Electrons are negatively charged and Protons are positively charged.  There is mass attraction between them and they are hoping to collide.  Our soul knows its way home.  It’s made from the light but our ego and bad desires are blocking it.  There are seven realities governing us [Opening the 7 points].  Connect from outer form to reality of your soul.  When there is permission for the veil to drop then the light connects.  These great Awliya have achieved this reality and we are given a temporary pass in their presence.  But when we are away we have to practice the meditation.  Why are you not picking up the signal? My receiver has to receive.  Practice to burn away the cloud of darkness and bring down the desires to bring their presence.  The concept of WiFi.  Awliya are the moving powerhouse signal.  The constant practice of meditation will push the ego away,

Holding your thumb during the meditation takes your focus back to the heart.  My reality is in that nucleus and the breath in the ocean of light.  There is energy in six directions.  Keeping your eyes closed and begin the breathing.  It is the breath of power.  The soul begins to move and the fuel for the soul is the breath. 'Nafasa Rahma'.  All this way is built on the breath.  Tariqa is based on the breath.  Everything from the Holy Quran and apex is 'Qul Hu' (say Hu, chapter of Ikhlas-112).  Just say 'HU'.  It is being sent from the reality of Prophet (saws).  Every knowledge is moving in that energy.  To catch the energy is thru HU.

Seal the mouth with your tongue touching the palate of the mouth.  The palate has the major control of lataifs. Divine energy protects the being and you are asking for the reservoir of that energy.  I am in need for it to dress me.  Visualize ocean of light thru the power of the heart.  To take away the focus on the head tilt it forward.  The faculty of head has no value.  Your paradise is your soul.  How much you expand your soul the more your paradise.  Prophet Muhammad (saws) said seek your knowledge.  The more you love the bigger your soul.  Give death to the body and during meditation park the body.  Only breathing the 'zikr' HU.

We have to live our life knowing my master is with me.  If not then Shaytan is there.  My master always has to be with me.  To do the daily practices in the presence of the Shaykh.  Asking, Sayedi dress me with your light.  I am imitating but you make it to be real.  We have to have 'hadoor' (presence) of the Shaykh everyday.     Keeping that presence always around us counters the shaytan's attack.  I remember their teachings and you realize I cannot disappoint them.  Build their presence and understand the concept of annihilation.  Shaytan did not accept Prophet Adam (as) so he cannot be in the presence of Prophet Muhammad (saws).  To have the presence of Prophet (saws) is to make 'salawaats' on him constantly.
