Continuation from yesterday……..Simplicity Is The Only True Path
Simplicity is the only true path.
Follow the exercise below and make it a daily practice.
EXERCICE #4:
As before, find a quiet and preferably dark place where you will not be bothered over the next 30 minutes. Leave your cell phone and all other devices behind. Once again, it is crucial that no one interrupts you over that 30 minute period of time.
Step 1: Select a meditation posture. You have two choices.
- Most commonly known as a Buddha posture. Sit down with your legs crossed and your spine straight. Interlock your fingers and let them rest on top of your crossed feet. Close your eyes. (Google “Buddha Posture” if you need a visual representation).
The posture above is an optimal position for maximum energy accumulation. When you sit in a Buddha posture a number of things happen. First, by interlocking your feet and fingers while closing your eyes you create a perfect energy circuit within your body. When the circuit is complete, no energy leakage is possible. Allowing your body/mind configuration to accumulate the maximum amount of energy possible. Second, when you are sitting straight a higher dimensional door opens up on top of your head, allowing more universal consciousness energy to flow in with ease.
- If the position above is uncomfortable, your next best bet is to lie down on your back with your fingers interlocked and your heels touching. Eyes closed. If fact, this could be called a “Casket Posture”. Yet, keep one thing in mind. As you continue with your daily practice it is advised that you slowly transition to a Buddha Posture in order to maximize the benefits of meditation.
Step 2: Clearly understand what your objective is.
If you recall, in our prior exercises the primary objectives were to observe our thoughts, feelings and emotions. In one form or another and as an outsider looking in. True meditation is a little bit different. The objective is not to observe, but to stop all of your mind functions (thoughts/feelings/emotions) while remaining completely aware. The difference is minuscule and easy to miss, so pay very close attention.
True meditation is oftentimes called sleeping while being aware. In other words, all of your mind functionality must be stopped. Completely. And while that might sound easy enough, it is one of the most difficult things to accomplish. Try and see for yourself. If you are new to medication, chances are, you will be able to stop your mind for 15-45 seconds before realizing that your mind had already shifted into an active thought process and without you even becoming conscious of the fact.
You might be thinking about your ex and how they have done you wrong, what you will have for dinner, whether or not you have enough time to finish one of your projects and a million other things. Point being, and this is incredibly important to understand, you mind will actively wrestle control back and shift your entire being into an active state of thinking. That’s how cunning the mind is.
