Hi Luan,
greetings :)
Well, I am not that advanced I would say, and also with BOEL for not even a year, so will just answer from my personal understanding and experience, maybe one of the admins has time for more :)
The first thought I am having is that, to me, meditation is like a relationship, a relationship with yourself, your lower and higher planes of being - so give it some time to develop ;-) - trust and share comes by time and not in an instant, would you agree ?
So, give it time, you can go there with a specific question, best is only one at a time :) - like - you would like to see your inner garden - and then allow whatever pics tend to come, if you like them or not ! - maybe you have a certain idea how your garden should look like, and so the ‘real’ image is not given a chance to show up
then you could talk to whatever is there in your garden, - why do you look like that, whats the prob, e.g. or enjoy whatever you are seeing - give your soul (which is you) time to express itself, maybe she hasn’t got much of a chance lately and so is hesitating ?
The questions to your higher guardian angel should be meaningful I feel, though he/she might answer anyway, but maybe not in the way you expect ? - the answer can come in thoughts, pics, feelings, whatever, or come later at a quite moment,
What I would recommend first anyway is not to start with the Inner Temple Medi immediately, but the Daily Candle Exercise, - you know it, you can find it at “Meditations” as well
It is short but very effective, and we learn to become silent inside first, which is a prerequisite for any meditation, if after having give na question we must become silent to really receive the answer :) - if we continue to chat in our mind, we are not likely to hear it
Maybe these thoughts are being helpful to you ?
Also to note down your experience is of help to manifest them into your mind and life.
And its good to be serious with any exercises, but don’t be too serious ;-) - enjoy your meditation and being in your garden e.g., give yourself time to relax - then results can come more easily
You are welcome to share your progress if you like to :)
Otherwise, yes, to do meditation is done best under the supervision of a teacher :)
Love & Light
