You can link with God in meditation and have a flow of qualities from Her

It is like charging your mobile phone which again becomes ready for FULL BENEFITS. In meditation, you get your spiritual qualities and powers reactivated. How this happens is now easily understood in this Age of Quantum Mechanics which tells us “particles on opposite sides of the Universe can be entangled such that what happens to one instantly affects the other, even though no physical signal had time to pass between them.” When soul is awakened from its slumber and is focused on the Supreme Soul, link between them would happen automatically—and His qualites would start flowing towards you. Thus you are ready to act with CLARITY and POWER. When you put them into your practical life it results in peace, prosperity and happiness. Let us how:

First Stage: Sit for meditation in any comfortable physical posture. Remember the connection between mind and body. It is like glass of water. If glass (body) moves/shakes, there will be corresponding effect on water (mind). That is why the very thinking about something such as lemon pickle makes your mouth (body) react as though pickle already reached your tongue. Hence first step is to make your body motionless. Sit in a comfortable position, relax all your body muscles, concentrate for a few minutes only on breathing. When you breathe IN, remember that you are taking IN positive and beneficial things. And When you breathe OUT, remember that you are taking OUT negative and harmful things. This lesson would reverberate after meditation session is over.

Observe your breathing—it comes and goes after remaining for a while, so is our body—they all have a beginning and an end. Observe the trail of thoughts happening in mind—each thought has a beginning and an end—one is followed by another till you focus on one particular thought which you like/dislike. The more you focus on it the stronger it becomes and it begins to take control of your bodily senses. The longer you do this, that particular thought takes a monstrous form and you act as though you are powerless before it as though enslaved by it. If you change your focus to another thought of creative nature, a wasteful/destructive thought has no control over you and it disappears. In this practice, you become a benevolent human being. The more you do this the stronger your benevolence becomes—which means you are now manifesting “image of God,” and becoming divine. This reminds you about the very nature of your body which comes and remains on soul and goes which means body is fleeting whereas soul is ETERNAL. (Details HERE) Change happens against something UNCHANGEABLE. A tree comes and goes through the mechanism called SEED—all its future generations remain PROTECTED in its memory.

Focusing on something changeable takes you to concentrating on something UNCHANGEABLE. Focusing on your breathing stabilizes your body and mind. When no other thought is happening, you also experience a no-mind state because mind is like a baggage of thoughts, each of which has a beginning and an end. Thus mind cannot digest anything that has no beginning or end. It even divides time into past, present and future whereas for soul time is just an ETERNAL now.

And then shift the focus on to your soul which is seated behind forehead, between the eye-brows. Continue focusing on this point till you really feel only a great presence called you. Continued focus on this point will make you see yourself as a point of light/knowledge—that is what you really are—the immaterial entity, spirit/soul that holds and rules your body. Hence the word atma for soul. Atma is a combination of negative prefix A + Tama (darkness / ignorance), literally, and essentially, personification of knowledge. When you say “I AM” it means this underlying  atma or spirit, the very foundation of your existence, soul, which is the exact representation of the very being of God. Awareness of this truth “I am atma,” hater of darkness/ignorance/ego, prevents you from doing anything wasteful.

Second Stage: Now visualize your intellect (dhee) as travelling (yan) towards the presence of the Supreme Soul, God, and being seated in His presence. This is what meditation really is; hence the word for meditation in Indian languages is dhyan which is combination of two words*—dhee (i*ntellect) + yan (travel). Continued practice of this will reach, one day, its grand climax—you will feel you are getting connected to God from whom you get never-ending supply of His qualities such as knowledge, purity, joy, love, peace, power and bliss [which are opposite of qualities such as ego, lust, anger, attachment, greed, fear and envy which makes life like hell]. After each meditation session you feel these qualities became stronger revealing link with God happened.

INCREASED SUPPLY OF THESE SEVEN QUALITIES CAN IMPROVE HEALTH also

Many people experience increased health when they do meditation regularly because in meditation these seven qualities that make up soul get linked to their source in Supreme Soul/GOD.

Human being is made up of seven elements—solid, liquid, heat, air, ether, mind-intellect combination and soul, as soul itself is made of seven qualities.

Body has seven energy wheels (chakras) serving as local energy centers for the related parts of body. (picture is HERE)

In deep meditation some people see these chakras in their respective colors:

1. RED Mooladhara (root) chakra, connected to earth aspect of body, works better when a person shows more will power. [represents the pelvic organs, i.e. rectum, uterus, bladder and testis.]

2. ORANGE Swadhisthana (spleen) chakra, connected to the water aspect of body, works better when a person brings purity into his thought, words and deeds. [represents our source of creativity and sexuality and the coordinating organs are the reproductive system, kidney and bladder]

3. YELLOW Manipura (naval) chakra, connected to the fire aspect of body, works better when a person is full of joy.

4. GREEN Anahata (heart) chakra, connected to the air aspect of body, works better when a person shows more love.

5. BLUE Visudhi (throat) chakra, connected to the ether aspect of body, works better when a person shows more peace

6. INDIGO Agna (medulla plexus) chakra, connected to the mind-intellect combination, works better when person brings more love of truth/divine knowledge.

7. VIOLET Sahasra (crown) chakra, connected to consciousness or soul, works better when person is in bliss.

With these seven energy centers working effectively, one’s physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual health begin to shine perfectly which reminds us of seven rainbow colors which symbolize order and balance. Meditation improves immunity (forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2016/09/06/new-clues-into-how-meditation-can-boost-the-immune-system)

Body is like the chariot; Soul is like the rider; Intellect the charioteer; Mind is the rope tied to the horses which are like 5 sense-organs and 5 organs for action, and Senses-objects are the path ways which contain things beneficial and wasteful.

In meditation, when linked to God, soul becomes purer and stronger. The purer the soul clearer the vision of intellect will be—such an intellect can easily choose to take beneficial paths only.

Thus it is a play of number SEVEN. This explains why the word for number SEVEN (sä'th) and word for truth (sath) is one and the same with slight difference in pronunciation.

Regular practice of linking with God gives you the following POWERS too:

1. Ability to withdraw from mundane things, like tortoise. (Bhagavat Gita 2:58; 6:11-15) This is like Break for your vehicle. A vehicle is useless without the facility called Break. One should know when to act and when to withdraw from it. Nivṛtti (ni negative prefix, vṛt to be), come back, cease vritti or activity (wisdomlib.org)  In other words, one should know to act and to put an end when the limit is reached or when it is no longer beneficial.

2. Ability to look within to know we are not this body and to listen to the whispering of the conscience, the amazing faculty of soul which is the exact representation of the very being of Supreme Soul, God. (BG 2:68; 5:21, 22)

3. Ability to discriminate good and waste. (BG 18:1-66)

4. Ability to judge in favor of good in the best interest of self and others (BG 18:63)

5. Ability to face the ways of Maya and also of nature (disease, death, pollution) (BG 2:56, 57)

6. Ability to tolerate/ignore the weak-points of others (BG 3:25, 29; 12:15)

7. Ability to cooperate with good-points of others (BG 3:26; 12:4, 20)

8. Ability to adapt to the need of the time and to flow like river. (BG 12:19; 2:64; 18:62)

Problem arises when we don't have clarity of the above  powers. In confusion, you begin to face what is to be tolerated, and vice versa. The more focused you are better results are achieved. A micro distraction an archer/shooter experiences while focusing may result in macro failure with regard to target.

When you have these 8 powers, you become like Durga* in powers/shakti, and you also become like Kali (fierce form of Durga) if exceptional obstacles are put on your path. This is in line with story of birth of Kali from Durga. “Durga became so enraged that her anger burst from her forehead in the form of Kali. Once born, the black goddess went wild and ate all the demons she came across, stringing their heads on a chain which she wore around her neck. It seemed impossible to calm Kali’s bloody attacks, which now extended to any wrongdoers, and both people and gods were at a loss what to do. Fortunately, the mighty Shiva stopped Kali’s destructive rampage by lying down in her path, and when the goddess realised just who she was standing on, she finally calmed down.” It symbolically means this: When you operate out of those POWERS, you are powerful like Goddess Durga, and when obstacles increase You become even more powerful and defeat them as Kali would have done it.

Results of putting the above into action means peace, prosperity and happiness as soul (king) over bodily kingdom and Supreme Soul (King) over this earth are in harmony. Even from purely materialistic point of view, disengagement from outside world for a few minutes too can help: "Moments of unoccupied rest should be recognized as a critical contributor to human waking cognitive functions rather than a waste of time."
