Meditation and your personal deity’s qualities

A Personal Deity is your guide in life and represents universal divine powers of spirits that are with you since the day you were born...maybe you have not noticed consciously, however, be aware that your personal deity is around and ready to help you at any time. You can tap into its energies without effort!
A Deity can be subscribed as expressions of the subconscious mind or a higher Intelligence that we all have access to, when in alpha state of mind. Scientists associate this state with our right brain activity, our subjective sense of imagination, our creativity, memory and intuition. It is a state where your brain wave activity slows down to 7-14 Hz, a so called relaxing state of the mind. This allows you to be more receptive, open, creative and less critical.
The use of meditation to access this state of mind once or twice a day at will is well known. It will bring you 'closer to yourself', and promote a better memory and recall, more focus, taking better decisions, more calmness as well as reduction of stress and anxiety. Actually, during sleep, we access the Alpha State quite naturally and also when day-dreaming. In fact many times throughout the day, your brain will dip into an alpha state, even awake with eyes open.
Unconsciously you might feel that you are good at certain subjects or you have certain qualities, that are 'easy' for you: like to envision things that come true, or to have infinite knowledge that is always available, or you are blessed with excellent speaker- and debater qualities or you are an ultimate networker. These are the qualities of the personal deity that is guiding you. And in your meditations and prayers, the contact with your personal deity can be strengthened by calling upon him/her.
In Qi Men Dun Jia, we add an extra layer and use the direction of your Destiny Palace, where your Destiny Deity resides, for meditation and commanding the Universe. Sit with your back to this direction while meditating for your personal High Speed Broad Band Connection to the Universe.
