As it has been understood, these articles will be going to the Joy of Satan website to enrich it. Regardless, these are shared as they are to help in the forums before officially going into the Joy of Satan.

Practitioners of meditation do many mistakes when it comes to meditation, arising in particular from systems that preach systematic denial of the body as something "evil" or "negative".
In contrast to these false religions that were made by fools and blasphemers to the beautiful cosmos, in Spiritual Satanism the essence of the material is understood and taken into serious consideration for one's overall advancement.
Preaching falsely a denial of the human body, calling it "impure" or even going as far as to declare that the body requires no attention, is actually a major part of the falsehood that is presenting itself in many systems which are anything but spiritual.
As the human being is comprised out of many elements, we must first start our examination on the most basic element; the human material body, symbolized by the earth element. In order to succeed in or have a better quality meditation session, the fundamental level of the body must be taken care of.
When the above is achieved, and the level of basic desires is put into a state of equilibrium or at least a stable condition, one will be able to actually focus a lot more on meditation and have a proper meditation session.
The above does not describe a voracious or deprived approach towards appetites, but a pleasant balance. A normal way to look at this is that one must not have eaten until one falls asleep on the chair, but also refrain from starving to the extent this will force their awareness out of the meditation.
Denial or overconsumption will both become hurdles when it comes to meditation, and personal limitations must be taken in consideration here. Upon this basis, one also must learn the utilization of their body; before going to the gym, the body requires other form of input, but before you meditate, the approach towards needs must adjust itself accordingly.
The very advanced meditator will be able to immerse themselves in meditation even in seemingly chaotic circumstances, and will be able to postpone any need. However, this is a skillset and not a given rule.
For a more functional example, let's say one has had a very demanding day at work. If you instantly get back home running filled with stress and you just jump into doing a mantra or Yoga, without eating while you are starving, or spending half an hour to lower your intensity from the speed of the workplace, then this can make meditation harder.
If you however relax too much while going for this, you might fall asleep, which is clearly not the desired goal here. In this case, the drive from work must be lessened only to a small extent, and not to a great extent that will cause the undesired outcome which is sleep, but to promote a meditative state.
Therefore, where one tries to gain time by reducing quality, one might actually end up losing time from valuable meditation due to having to mind all sorts of things that physically or emotionally act as agitations.
To achieve a state of equilibrium in order to engage in meditation, it is recommended and ideal to:
1. Have covered all necessary dietary or elimination needs.
2. To have brought the mind to a state of openness for meditation, such as through music.
3. Especially in the case of energetic people, to actually have worked out or let out excess energy through material means such as a work, play or other creative activity, to let go of excess energy that can otherwise make you feel unable to focus on meditation.
The context of self care here involves: Relaxation, having properly done errands through the day so that pleasant tiredness and satisfaction from work has set in, satisfaction of other needs such as those involving the human needs of letting go of wasteful material, or more long-term improvements such as the healing of diseases, or calming of the mind.
Perfection on the above methods may not always be the outcome, not all meditation sessions will be equal in perfection, but becoming aware one must focus first on the EARTH element, taking it into serious consideration.
This is actually going to create a different awareness and approach to the matter that will incur further success than those who engage meditation starting from "above" and disregarding "below".
With the above three areas handled, one will notice that your meditational progress will start skyrocketing and you will also have far more attraction towards meditation and the practices in general.
