The meditation symbol may be downloaded for your own personal use. This symbol may be shared with others as long as the full text of the meditation, including this paragraph, accompanies the symbol.

The symbol above, called Jinma, is a symbol of growth and personal development. By using Jinma as a meditation device you can accelerate your personal growth and spiritual development. Like all higher consciousness energy symbols, Jinma acts from the inside out. This means that the growth it promotes will come gradually and gently and will act over a period of weeks, months or years. As you work with the energy of the symbol, the acceleration becomes greater, but always at a level that is in your best interests.

The most effective way to use higher consciousness spiritual energy symbols like Jinma is to gradually make them a part of your being and consciousness. Over a period of weeks, months or even years, the continued meditation and contemplation of the symbol will become so much a part of your own consciousness that it will begin to present itself to you in your mind whenever the timing is right for personal energy enrichment.

Given below is a method of meditation, but this is only given as a possible alternative if you have no meditation technique which you currently use. There are many valid methods of meditation, this is just one simple method. If you currently use another meditation technique which allows the incorporation of spiritual devices like Jinma, you may simply use Jinma in your current meditation integrating it in any way you wish. Another way to use Jinma is to simply place it somewhere that it will be seen often. It is best not to place it someplace where it is likely to become the subject of discussion and debate (like work or the living room or in your car). Choose a location where you will see it often, but where most others will not. If you are going to successfully integrate it into your consciousness, it is best kept as a private matter. Since the point of using symbols like Jinma is to allow the stimulation of spiritual consciousness from beyond a place where the ego can influence, intellectual discussion and debate tends to greatly lengthen the time it takes for the symbol to work. In fact, a heated or emotional discussion can sometimes subvert the growth benefits of symbols.

Remember, this is a spiritual, not a psychic symbol. This symbol should never be used as a method of projecting energy at yourself or anyone else. See the discussion on personal growth. Spiritual symbols are used to “allow” whatever is in our highest and greatest good. Spiritual symbols should never be used to “pull” or to try to “force” something to happen. An important part of spiritual energy work is trust.
