Power Meditation: Channeling Divine Will

Accessing Unlimited Power

Yogananda taught that unlimited energy flows from the divine source, and you can draw it consciously by will power. Your will is the switch that lets more energy into the body from the divine source. This meditation teaches you to activate that switch and channel cosmic power for divine purpose.

Understanding Divine Power

Will means desire plus energy. In the soul's will lies all power. When your will power is developed, you can control your destiny. But remember Padmasambhava's teaching: true power is mastering yourself, not controlling others. This is about aligning your will with divine will to become an unstoppable force for good.

Preparation (3 minutes)

Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sit with a very straight spine. Feel your connection to the earth below and the cosmos above. Place your attention at your solar plexus — the area above your navel. This is your power center. Visualize an electric blue flame pulsing there with strength and vitality.

Yogananda's Will Power Technique (10 minutes)

This powerful practice directly accesses cosmic energy:

Step 1 - Tension: Tense your entire body with full force. Make fists, tighten your arms, legs, abdomen, face — everything. Hold this tension for 10 seconds while mentally affirming: 'I am awake! I am strong! I am filled with cosmic energy!'

Step 2 - Release: Suddenly release all tension. Let your body go completely limp. Feel the wave of relaxation washing through you. In this moment of release, cosmic energy rushes in to fill the space.

Step 3 - Receive: For 30 seconds, simply feel. Notice tingling, warmth, or vibration throughout your body. This is actual cosmic energy flowing in. Breathe naturally and sense yourself being recharged from an infinite source.

Repeat this cycle 3-5 times. With each repetition, you'll feel more energized, more alive, more powerful.

Activating the Blue Flame (7 minutes)

Return to stillness. Focus on the electric blue flame at your solar plexus. With each inhale, see it growing brighter and stronger. With each exhale, feel waves of power radiating through your entire body. This flame connects you to divine will — the same power that spoke creation into existence. Affirm silently: 'Unlimited energy flows from the divine source. I draw it consciously by will power. I am a channel for cosmic power.'

Aligning with Divine Will (8 minutes)

Now comes the crucial step: ensuring your will aligns with divine will. Bring to mind a goal or intention — something you want to manifest or achieve. Hold it in your awareness. Ask yourself honestly: 'Is this right for me to have? Does this serve my highest good and the good of all?' If the answer is yes, proceed. If there's doubt, release that goal and ask for clarity about your true purpose. Once you have a divinely aligned intention, focus all your will power on it. See it already accomplished. Feel the energy of the blue flame flowing toward its manifestation. Know that when your will aligns with God's will, nothing can stop you.

The 'I Can' Consciousness (5 minutes)

Stand or sit even taller. Affirm with full conviction: 'I can! I must! I will!' Feel these words resonating in every cell. This is not arrogance — it's recognizing your divine inheritance. You are a child of God, heir to infinite power. Overcome every 'I can't' with 'I can!' Choose a specific challenge you're facing. Affirm: 'I can handle this. I have divine strength. I will succeed.' Feel the blue flame pulsing with determination. No matter how many times you've failed before, resolve now that you will persist until you succeed.

Directing the Power (5 minutes)

Now direct this cosmic energy where it's needed. If you need physical healing, send the blue flame's energy to that area of your body. If you need mental strength, send it to your mind. If you need to accomplish a task, visualize yourself doing it successfully while filled with this power. Remember: small consistent actions create massive change over time. Use this power wisely, in service to others, not just yourself.

Grounding and Sealing (3 minutes)

Bring your awareness back to your solar plexus. See the blue flame burning steadily — strong but controlled. Affirm: 'I am power. Divine will flows through me. I use this strength in service to the highest good.' Take three deep breaths. Feel your feet firmly on the ground. You are powerful, purposeful, and aligned with divine will.

Daily Practice

Use this meditation whenever you need strength, courage, or energy. Practice the tension-release technique in the morning to energize your day. Throughout the day, when you face challenges, pause and reconnect with the blue flame. Remember: true power is having the discipline to act on your values, even when it's hard. You have unlimited cosmic energy available — you just need to consciously draw upon it.
