  We show the pulse matching phenomenon can be obtained in the general
multi-level system with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). For
this we find a novel way to create tightly localized stationary pulses by using
counter-propagating pump fields. The present process is a spatial compression
of excitation so that it allows us to shape and further intensify the localized
stationary pulses, without using standing waves of pump fields or spatially
modulated pump fields.
