“It is the essence of mindfulness: non-reaction. People will tell you meditation helps you control your thoughts. They’ll say you can practice and become more mindful. But they won’t tell you that there is actually no progress you can make by your forceful will. That trying to not try is a mechanism which breaks down the aspirant to a state where it is recognized that they are powerless. Then they accept the situation, and as soon as they stop trying, it happens. In the same way, judgments and fears will occur in the mind. You cannot directly stop them.Yet, if you do not react to them, they become as shadows. Without power, illusions of the egoic mind. Seeing this clearly will come with practice, sure. But that’s what the secret is. You are learning how to give up, which creates acceptance and flow, which then means you have gotten out of your own way. It is an unleashing of passive energy, and it is staggeringly powerful. Behind it is the force of all existence and time. It flows with you already. There is nothing which is not you. But the ego restricts you to this body/mind and creates judgments of better and worse. It is all illusion. Fears. But you are infinite. There is nothing for you to fear, once you see yourself clearly.”

Essential Meditation

Meditation transforms the mind from being like agitated water to residing as serene amber honey. As honey, the mind is less reactive. It is not so easily disturbed. At the same time, it still has clarity shining through it and that clarity is tinted with the golden smile of ease.

There are many kinds of meditation practice. The more difficult methods involve the least amount of technique. This is because it gives the mind less with which to work. Discussed here is Jangama Dhyana, a very simple yet advanced technique. It is appropriate for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. However, beginners may initially prefer to practice more with guided meditations and mantra meditation.

How to Meditate:

Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Set a timer: anywhere from 5-15 minutes is suitable for a beginner.

Gently rest your gaze and focus your attention on the spot between the eyebrows and roughly one inch upward on the forehead. Just do what’s comfortable for you; there’s no need to be super precise about it.

Breathe and just watch.

If thoughts pop up, let them. Ignore them by continuing to gently focus your attention on that spot. However, do not try to push thoughts away. Let them come and go.

If you notice that a thought has popped up and you were sucked into thinking down that train of thought, recognize this and return your attention back to that spot. Don’t feel bad about it; this action of catching yourself and coming back is precisely where meditation trains you.

Practice patience. There is no endpoint or goal, no particular state you need to attain. You are simply resting your attention and focusing it into one spot while you relax.

If difficult emotions arise, treat them the same way as thoughts. No analysis, no pushing away. Return your attention to the point of focus whenever you notice it has wandered.

No matter how difficult it may feel during your sitting session, remind yourself that you are sitting alone in a safe space. Stand your ground–you were here first before those difficult feelings arose.

Don’t open your eyes or get up until the timer goes off.

Analysis is not useful during meditation, just pay attention. Your mind will naturally start releasing imprints it has taken on–karmas. That releasing is what causes thoughts and feelings to arise before they are released. As my guru says, you do not need to analyze the garbage before you put it in the dumpster. Just let it happen.

The mind is like a ceiling fan and when you sit to meditate it is like turning off the fan. For a time, it will continue to spin. If you sit and wait long enough, the fan will become still on its own.

The best way to ensure that you practice daily is by doing it the same time every day. Pick a part of your daily routine in which you can fit in a meditation sitting. It is better to practice for 10 minutes every day than to practice for 1 hour once per week.

Namaste :)

meditation is key to knowing, understanding and accepting self, if you don't that, no one can do it for you, let the breath take the body home to the mind
