Meditation and relaxation. Significant factors in  psychic events?

Meditation is purported to promote or enhance psychic phenomena.  From my limited understanding, the object is to "quiet" your mind.  By quieting your normal constant thought activity, you can more easily detect those subtle faint sources of knowledge that are normally masked by normal thinking.

There are many kinds of meditation, but I've only practiced a few. Mainly I've done Transcendental Meditation, but I've done some meditations as I read about them in various books.  

Relaxation a precursor to meditation  

Relaxation is usually used to prepare for meditation, at least in my experience.  There are a wide variety of relaxation techniques. Relaxation is usually something done before trying to do self-hypnosis as well.

One technique has you get into a comfortable position like laying down or sitting in a comfortable chair. ( I like sitting in a chair for relaxing since when I go through my relaxation routine while I am in a horizontal position I usually fall asleep.)  Then one at a time you contract your muscles or muscle groups tightly for a few moments then let them relax.

Another method of relaxation is to first find a comfortable position, then count backwards from ten. Between each count you softly tell yourself to relax a particular body part such as your head, face, arm, chest, etc.. Start with your head or scalp, and relax each part of your self, counting backwards, finishing with your toes.

There are plenty of books available to use as guides to both relaxation and meditation, and I'm sure they can be found online as well. I haven't looked, but I will be looking soon and I will update this page as I find information. Just getting started on this website.

Relaxation becomes easier with practice. Once you've practiced enough, you can completely relax in just a few seconds.
