To most people\u00a0meditation\u00a0implies\u00a0emptying the mind, bringing the mind into focus, stillness. Emulation\u00a0of happy monks seated on meditation<\/a> cushions, perfectly still for hours, seems to be the version of this ancient art that we are all aspiring to\u2014which, if we\u2019re entirely honest, leads many of us to beating ourselves up with black zendo slippers for our underachievement.<\/p>\n

What most people don\u2019t realize is that there are two distinctly separate forms of meditation: Western and Eastern. Eastern meditation, to simplify the equation, has its aim toward emptiness\u2014pure realized consciousness. One\u00a0watches her\u00a0thoughts while sitting still and attempts to\u00a0free\u00a0herself from\u00a0the attachment of them in order to discover her\u00a0underlying nature.<\/p>\n

Eastern meditation also comes with an appealing little promise embroidered on her lapel\u2014the orgasmic Holy Grail of outcomes: Satori, Samadhi, Nirvana, Moksha\u2026 Enlightenment<\/a>. Anyway you cut the cosmic cupcake, it sounds like you\u2019re in for an eternity of bliss if you could simply sit still and empty your brain for a few minutes a day.<\/p>\n

The challenge here is that this often doesn\u2019t work for Westerners. We don\u2019t live in ashrams: We\u2019re battling traffic on the freeways, and elbowing through crowds on subways to get to work. We aren\u2019t eating our meals in blessed silence surrounded by fellow practitioners: We\u2019re scarfing down a salad at our desks to get to those last few emails in our inbox before the meeting. By the time we get to meditation it\u2019s like we\u2019ve pulled a sweaty racehorse straight off the track and tried to make it stand still as a statue. Unlikely.<\/p>\n

The best place to look for solutions\u00a0is at the beginning. In the beginning there was the void, and from the void came everything, including crowded freeways and overflowing inboxes. Eastern meditation says, \u201cLet\u2019s go home to the void.\u201d Western meditation<\/a> says, \u201cLet\u2019s hail a cab and see the nightlife while we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the first practitioners to nail down a way to bring the positive effects of\u00a0meditation to the Western psyche was Shakti Gawain, in her\u00a0seminal 1978 tome\u00a0Creative Visualization<\/a><\/em>, now one of the classics of conscious living literature with over 3 million copies sold.<\/p>\n

The precept of Western meditation is simple: Don\u2019t empty your mind, instead, fill it up with something wonderful. The mind is like a dog, it needs a bone to chew. Rather than yanking away the concerns it\u2019s gnawing away on, replace those concerns\u00a0with affirmations, images, and even friendly, wise imaginary friends like your inner guide, your animal totem<\/a>, and your higher self.<\/p>\n

Two equally valid forms of meditation; two completely different techniques.<\/p>\n

A History of Meditation<\/h3>\n

Some of the earliest records of Eastern meditation comes from the Hindu traditions of Vedantism around 1500 BCE. Many Eastern methods of meditation were popularized by the Buddha in the 5th\u00a0century BCE.<\/p>\n

By contrast,\u00a0Western meditation made its first appearance in 100\u00a0CE\u00a0with the ancient Hermeticists\u00a0in an Egyptian manuscript called the Corpus Hermeticum\u2014<\/em>an esoteric stallion of a text that by some accounts single-handedly inseminated the Renaissance. It continued to evolve in the 19th\u00a0and 20th\u00a0centuries, written about by philosophers such as Madame Blavatsky (the very thinker who founded the Theosophical Society and coined the new-thought term \u201cLaw of Attraction\u201d) and Napoleon Hill, who recognized the importance that our mind and imagination play in our lives, from our health to our vocation and life purpose.<\/p>\n

Yet perhaps nowhere is Western meditation as eloquently summarized as with the term creative visualization<\/em>, coined by author Shakti Gawain.<\/p>\n

We use this technique all the time in everyday life. Take, for instance, making a simple decision of what to get for lunch. We summon our meals:\u00a0Hmmm, I feel like oysters Rockefeller, a peanut butter sandwich, or a kale and hummus wrap.<\/em> Then we proceed to go out and manifest the picture we just conjured.<\/p>\n

Shakti Gawain<\/a> takes the natural process of imagination that we all use to a place of higher consciousness. She even takes a liberating leap off the meditation cushion and invites you to lie down and relax before you get started.<\/p>\n

How To Do It<\/h3>\n

To utilize creative visualization, one technique she suggests is to imagine in your mind an inner sanctuary for yourself: A place in nature, in a church or a temple, or somewhere that holds special meaning for you.<\/p>\n

Once there you can invite your higher self to appear in any form, and bring you whatever guidance<\/a> it is you most need to hear. Instead of a guru, this technique puts the power back inside you. You have all the answers you need. You can summon them at any moment.<\/p>\n

Shakti Gawain teaches that some people don\u2019t see images as much as feel pleasant sensations, or they may hear an inner voice. It\u2019s all still valid creative visualization.<\/p>\n

Here is an example from her book Creative Visualization<\/em> that you can try:<\/p>\n

Sit or lie in a comfortable position. Relax completely\u2026 let all tension drain out of your body and mind\u2026 breathe deeply and slowly\u2026 relax more and more deeply.
\n<\/em>
\nVisualize a light within your heart\u2014glowing radiant and warm. Feel it spreading and growing\u2014shining out from you farther and farther until you are like a golden sun, radiating loving energy on everything and everyone around you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Say to yourself silently and with conviction, \u201cDivine light and divine love are flowing through me and radiating from me to everything around me.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the core of creative visualization is a playful engagement with meditation that offers Westerners some spice on the tatami, some frolic in the sermon. For many of us, it\u2019s a lot easier than Eastern styles.\u00a0Go forth and find peace\u2014and let yourself have fun with it.<\/p>\n

The Bodhi Tree<\/a> metaphysical bookstore for spiritual seekers was founded in 1970 in LA, and many\u00a0considered it\u00a0to be the birthplace of the modern conscious lifestyle movement. Some of the world\u2019s best-known authors, musicians, artists, visionaries, and wisdom teachers browsed and taught at the iconic store. Bodhi Tree is expanding with an online presence in early 2016.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
