What is Meditation?
I hear this question but I feel there is no right
answer to this. for something so simple can reveal so much in one
session that may feel infinite at times.
Meditation can go deeper than
just sitting and breathing, feeling, sometimes just dissolving into self
melting away with the breathe of the atmosphere.
It is an
effortless act to meditate but it is a challenge because of its
effortlessness we as super minded thinking individuals make it harder
than it
should be.
Bruce Lee once said,
"Don't Think!..Feel. It is like a finger pointing to the Moon, Don't
stare at the finger...or you will miss All that heavenly glory."
For me as a mind coach I feel that meditation shares the same theory as
Bruce Lee's word.
When people "try" to meditate they are not "feeling"
instead they get lost in thoughts. A good way to start is to focus on
the "rise and fall" of the abdomen with each breath.
If thoughts
arise, simply remind yourself the mind is thinking replace your
thoughts with the words, "wandering, wandering, wandering" then silence
the mind and bring your focus back to the "rise and fall" of the breath.
after a while you will start to realize what meditation means
to you, because there is no real way to explain the effects of
blissfulness that hides deep in inner space. there is a whole other
cosmos in you, it is time you explore that path for yourself.
