What is meditation AND SUGGESTIONS FOR BEGINNERS
Contemplation meditation: Meditation is the adventure
Meditation is the adventure, the human mind is able to withstand the greatest adventure, meditation exist, that does not do anything - no action, no thoughts, no emotions, you're just there, it is a sheer delight, when you did do, this joy come from? It is nowhere to be, or it comes from every place, there is no reason for it, since there is the so-called joy this material.
When you do not do anything when - physical, psychological, at any level - when all activities are stopped, you just exist, that is, that is meditation. You can not do it, you can not practice it: you only have to realize it.
Whenever you can find just the existence of the time, then you throw away all the acts. Thought is also doing, concentrate also doing, contemplation is also doing. Even if only a moment, you do not do anything, you're just in your center, totally relaxed - that is meditation. And once you get the knack of it, you will be able in that state, would like to take long long, eventually you can one day twenty-four hours are in that state.
Once you are aware of your performance remains undisturbed in this way, since you can slowly start doing things, and keep your alertness undisturbed nature, that is, the second part of meditation - first of all, learn how to exist, and then learn a little bit of action.
Sweeping the floor, take a bath, but keep your own center, then you will be able to do more complicated things. For example, I give you a lecture, but my meditation and overlooked, I can continue to lecture, but in my center inside, not even a little Ripples from, it's just quiet, totally quiet.
So meditation is not opposed to action, it is not want you to escape from life, it just teaches you a new way of life:
You become the center of a whirlwind, your life continues, in fact it would be more strongly continues - with more joy, with more clean, more insight, more creativity - but You are aloof, just a watcher on a hilltop, just look at all the things around you happening.
You are not doing those, you are the watcher.
That is the whole secret of meditation - you become a witness.
"Do" in relation to its own level on continued without any problems: firewood, fetching water, you do the little things and events, only one thing is not allowed, that is, you should not have lost the center. That awareness, that contemplation should always remain, without shelter, without interference.
In Judaism, there is a mysterious rebel school, Ming Jiaoha noted Rodham faction (Hassidism), its founder Hubert Snow Farm (BoalShem), is a rare person. One day at midnight, he came back from the river - it was his habit. Because the river is completely night peace and quiet, but he often just sitting there, doing nothing - just watching himself, watching to see who.
That evening, when he came back, via a wealthy family, has a doorman standing by the door. The doorman was very strange, because every night this time, the people will come back on time, so he ran out and said: "Please forgive me to disturb you, but I can not help my curiosity, and your daily day and night to haunt in my heart, what you doing? Why are you going to the river?
I've been told many times over the hello, but nothing there - you just sat there for a few hours, you come back to midnight. "
Tim Bell, Snow said: "I know hello a few times with me, because the night was so quiet, so I can hear your footsteps,
And I know that every day you are hiding behind the door, but not only are you on my curiosity, I also find it strange for you: What are you doing? "
He said: "What I do I'm just a janitor?."
Tim Bell, Snow said: "! Oh my God you gave me a key, which is my thing ah!"
Doorman said: "But I do not understand, if you are a janitor, then you should look at a block on a house, a palace, and you sit there on the beach to see what is it?"
Tim Bell, Snow said: "There is a little difference: you are looking out into the palace might argue; I just looked at this to see who and who is this person to see what this is my life's work, I'm looking at me? themselves. "
Doorman said: "But this is a strange thing, who will pay you?"
He said: "It is so happy, so happy, so great blessings, which itself is a great reward, just this moment, and all the treasures can not be compared."
Doorman said: "This is really strange, my life in perspective, I have never had such a wonderful experience, tomorrow night I'll go with you, just pointing it, because I know how to read -
Just need a different direction, you are looking at a different direction."
But a step, and that step is, we are not conscious level will focus on the outward direction, that is, close your eyes will be focused inward our consciousness - which you'll know because you're a known who you are aware, you never lose it, you just will your awareness wrapped in countless affairs. Your awareness will come from everywhere to recover, as long as you own it in the rest, and you already home.
The most basic core, the soul of meditation is to learn how to contemplation.
A crow call ...... you listening, these are two areas - objects and subjects, but you can not see which one is looking at both contemplation? - Crow, the listener, but there is someone looking at these two, this is a very simple phenomenon. You are looking at a tree: you are there, the tree was there, but you can not find another thing do? - You are looking at the tree, and in your heart there is a witness looking at you looking at that tree.
Watching is meditation, you look at what is irrelevant, you can look at the trees, you can look at the river, you can look at the clouds, you can look at the game around kids. Watching is meditation, you look at what is not critical, the object is not critical.
Viewing quality, awareness and vigilance of quality - and that is where meditation.
Remember one thing: meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation all. Behavior is not a problem, but the problem is that you bring to the behavior of quality.
If you take a walk alert, then you can become a walking meditation; If you sit with vigilance, then sit can become a meditation; If you listen with awareness, then listen to the birds singing can become a meditation ; If you stay alert and contemplation, then just listen to the noise inside your head, it can become a kind of meditation.
The whole key is that you do not to act without awareness that what you do is meditation.
Awareness is the first step in contemplation of your body, slowly, slowly you will become for each pose, each action has the alert, and when you become aware that a miracle began to happen: Have you ever used to do many things at once gone, your body becomes more relaxed, your body becomes more coordinated; a deep calm in your body is beginning to show, a wonderful music pulsating in your body.
Then, begin to be aware of your thoughts, ideas must be the same for so doing, they are more subtle than the body, of course, more dangerous, and when you become aware of your thoughts, you will be carried forward to your inner am surprise, everything if you are engaged in at any time recorded, you will be surprised that you will not believe that this is what your inner conducted.
Over ten minutes later, you read it - you will see there are a crazy mind! Because we are not aware of this whole crazy constantly surging forward, like an undercurrent. No matter what you're doing, it affects you, or you do not do anything, it also affects you, it affects everything, but it will be the sum of all your life!
So this madman must be changed.
The awareness of the miracle is in addition to just become aware, you do not need to do anything.
It is a phenomenon to reflect on it to change it, slowly, slowly disappeared in the crazy, gradually, gradually began to fall into another form of thinking, their confusion is gone, they become a more orderly , but then again, presents a deeper quiet, and when your body and your mind is quiet, you will also see the harmony among each other, where there is a bridge, and now they no longer would each toward different direction, they are no longer riding their different horses, the first time they are coordinated, and that coordination is a great help to the third step of the job - that is, to become aware of your feelings, emotions and mind.
That is the most subtle level and extremely difficult level, but if you can become aware of thought, then it is only further it, need a little more awareness, so you start to reflect your mood, your emotions, your feeling, once you become aware of all these three can link them into a phenomenon, and when all of these three is a - completely together with the role, humming along, you will be able to feel all of these three music, they have become an orchestra - So the fourth step took place, and this is nothing you can do, and it happens according to its own, it is a gift from the whole, it is done to those three steps of person's return.
This fourth step is to make the final awakening awareness,
A person can become aware of his own awareness - that is, the fourth step, it can create a wake of Buddha, but only in the wake, the people will know what is joy.
Body knows pleasure, the mind knows happy, happy soul knows, the fourth step is to know joy. Joy is a disciple or aspirant goal, awareness is leading to the target path. The important thing is that you are with the contemplation, contemplation you do not forget, you've been watching ...... watching ...... watching, and slowly, slowly, to see if that person becomes more unified, more to the more stable, less and less volatility, a variation occurs, you have to look at things on all disappeared.
Look who themselves became the first person to be watching, watcher itself into being the watcher.
You have returned home.

suggestion for beginners
Sufficient space
Sufficient space
When you start doing meditation, unplug the phone, leave the mundane. Posted on the door of your room in a note that you meditate for an hour, asking them not to knock on the door. When you enter the meditation room, the shoes off, because you are walking on sacred ground, not just kick off your shoes, but also keep in mind that you put aside everything, everything consciously and shoes together stay outside into the inside without a care to come.
A person can be inside twenty-four hours out of one hour, with the other twenty-three hours to engage in your career, your desires, your thoughts, ambitions, and projection and so on. Aside from all of these mundane in one hour, at the end, you will find only that one hour is real time in your life, the other twenty-three hours are a pure natural wastage, only that one hour be saved, others are wasted.
Looking for a good place
You should be able to help find a place to meditate , say, sitting in a tree will be able to help, but do not sit in front of the cinema , or sitting on the station platform. To enter nature , go to the mountains , go to a place with trees , go to a place where the river , go to the "Tao" is still in the flow , in shock , in a pulsating place . Trees often in meditation among the unconscious is its tranquility and meditation . I'm not asking you to become a tree ; you want to become a Buddha ! But trees have one thing in common with the Buddha : His equally green with trees , he similarly filled with trees, the sap of life , he also celebrated with trees and, of course , there is a difference between them , the Buddha is conscious , the tree is unconscious. Trees are unconscious in the "Tao" among which the Buddha is conscious in a " channel " , that would be a big difference , is the difference between heaven and earth .
But if you sit in the trees next to the beautiful island is surrounded by the sounds , or around a peacock dancing , or just a river in the flow , issue gurgling sound of water , or sitting beside a waterfall , listening it was great music ......
Find a natural yet been destroyed , disturbed or contaminated areas . If you can not find such a place , then the golden door should shut up , sit in your own room, if possible , in your place to make a special room as compared to the use of static , just a little corner on it, but it must be used exclusively for meditation , why should dedicated to meditation to use it ? Because each of these actions can create its own vibration. If you just meditate in that place , that place becomes meditation , you meditate every day , it will suck the number of your shock when you come back the next day , when those vibrations will begin to return to your body , those vibrations can be helpful for you , they will return, will react .
When a person really become a meditator , he can sit in meditation in front of the cinema , he can sit in meditation on the station platform .
Fifteen years , I have been in domestic travel , continuous travel , traveling throughout the year , always on the train , or on an airplane , or in the car, but to me it makes no difference . Once you become really rooted in your essence , no matter how kind will not be different, but this does not apply to beginners.
When the tree roots into the soil, then you can let the wind blow , let the rain down, let clouds thunder, does not matter , are very good, it can make trees become more firm , but when the trees were small, yet tender, then even if a child is concerned it is very dangerous , or if a cow is enough to destroy it through
To be very comfortable
Your posture must be used so that you can forget about your body. What is comfortable? When you can forget about your body, you're comfortable. When you think of your body has, you're uncomfortable, so whether you are sitting in a chair, or sitting on the ground, that is not the point, point is that you must be able to be comfortable, because if your body does not comfortable, you can not belong to more deep-seated desire to bless others. When you miss the first layer, all other layers are enclosed. If you really want to be happy or joyful, then you are in a beginning must become joy. Physical comfort for every one who wants to achieve in terms of intrinsic ecstasy are basically needs.
Start from the vent
Start from the vent, I never one not to sit as a start. From the easy start, or you will start to feel a lot of unnecessary stuff, a lot of what does not exist.
If you start with meditation, you will feel a lot of inherent disrupted more you want to just sit, the more you will feel that disturb, you will only be aware of your mind that crazy, the other not, it will produce a low ebb, nitrogen will feel frustrated, you will not feel joy, on the contrary, you will begin to feel that you are crazy, sometimes you may really crazy!
If you are really trying to "just sit", you might really go crazy. Just because people are not really that hard, so crazy and not so common. When you sit, you will begin to understand your inner lot of crazy, if you are sincere, and continue to do, you may be really mad, this kind of thing has happened many times before, so I never recommend anything that might produce frustration, low tide, and sad way ...... whatever makes you too aware of your crazy thing, because you probably are not ready to go all crazy your inner awareness.
Knowledge is not always good
You must be allowed gradually to know certain things. Knowledge is not always good, it must be able to count as you suck party grow gradually expanded. I'm crazy to you a start, rather than sitting as a start. I allow you crazy. If you dance to escape very crazy, it's the opposite occurs inside you. With the crazy dance, you will begin to be aware you are inside a quiet spot; With meditation, you will begin to be aware of your madness. The opposite situation has always been aware of you will go to the point.
When you dance jump very crazy, very irregular, or when you cry to vent to, or when you are doing the breathing disorder, I will allow you to show it to your madness, and then you will begin to become aware of a very subtle, then a deep inner peace in your point, it is just as crazy with the external controls. You will feel great joy; in your center will have an inner serenity produce, but if you just sit, then that point is crazy intrinsic point, you are quiet outside, but the inner is crazy.
Be active, living, positive and dynamic
If you take an active, living, positive, dynamic manner, it will be better, so, you can begin to feel an inner peace to grow, the more it grew, the more you can make sitting or lie down position, in other words, static meditation are more likely, but by that time, things will be different Bai, entirely different.
Kind of action or activity as a meditation technique can also begin in other ways to help you turn it into a form of release. When you're just sitting, you will feel frustrated; your mind wants to move, but you just sit. Each root muscles are turning up, every nerve are turning, and you try to impose some unnatural things in your body, so that you yourself will split into a compulsion and a forced, and the fact on, that was forced and the suppressed part is more real part of it is more than that to suppress part is the main part of your mind, that the main part of the must win.
Letting go suppression
In fact you have suppressed part is to be abandoned , not to be repressed . Because you often suppress it, so it becomes a cumulative inside you . The whole culture and education, and develop all of your repressed , repressed many could easily be discarded stuff , if you use a different kind of education, with a conscious education, with a more awareness of family education you have repressed things should be easy to be abandoned. Mind the inherent operational agencies if there is a better awareness , it will be added to the culture of this awareness , it should allow you to give a lot of things . For example, when a child is angry , we called him "Do not be angry," and so he began to suppress his anger , gradually, could be very short-lived thing has become permanent , this way, he can not be angry show it, but he will remain angry. From those transient events , we have accumulated a lot of anger. Unless anger was suppressed , otherwise no one can remain angry . Anger is a temporary thing, it came and went , and if it is expressed, then you are no longer angry , for me, I'll be real angry child children make her angry , but also deep bamboo that angry , do not suppress it .
Let go anger, sex, violence, and greed
Of course, there will be some problems, if we say, "You can get angry," then you will be on someone angry, but children can be shaped, you can give him a pillow, a pillow and then told him angry, for pillows violence, from the outset, the child can be brought up in a way - his anger can be turned. Can give him something, he can continue to throw those things, until his anger disappears. Within a few minutes or a few seconds, his anger would diverge away, so there will be cumulative.
You have accumulated a lot of anger, sex, violence, and greed, everything is in the accumulation, the accumulation becomes your inner crazy, it is there, it is in you. If you are in any type of meditation as a starting repressed, say you're just sitting, then you are in repressed all these things, you do not let it be released, so I began to vent as the first, was thrown into the air so depressed when you are able to be thrown into the air your anger, you become mature.
Space of Love
If I were alone when a person has enough love, if I had told my loved ones with enough love, then I'm not really mature, even if I have to rely on others must also have love, someone must be there , I was able to love, that love may just very superficial thing, it's not my nature. If I were a single person in the room, but I did not love, then that love is not the quality of depth, it does not become a part of my existence
As you become more and does not rely on, you become more mature. If you can separate a person angry, even if you are more mature, you do not need any object to make you angry, so in the beginning when I emphasize that we must vent, everything you need to dispose of the sky, thrown into open space without having to recognize any object.
Do you want to have that on his angry people, you can also get angry, do not have any reason, you can cry. Laugh, just laugh, do not anything to laugh, so fit, you can move the entire cumulative lost everything, so you can throw it away! Once you know that way, you can remove the entire burden of the past.
Within a few moments, you can remove the burden of your life, and its burden to several lifetimes can be removed. If you are ready to lose everything if you can make your crazy ran out within a few moments, there will be a deep cleaning. This way, you will be washed, you become very fresh, very naive, you become a child again, this way, in your naive state, you can use meditation meditation - just sitting , or just lying down, or in any static way they can, because now there has been no crazy things will disturb your meditation.
Meditation happens naturally
The first thing is first washed inherent in other words is the first vent, or when you are breathing exercises or meditation, or yoga postures to practice asana Adams, you will become just depressing. There is a very strange thing happens: When you let everything is thrown out, they would sit naturally occurring, Asha that Adams would naturally occur, it will be spontaneous.
To vent a start, and then some good things in you will be able to blossom, it will have a different quality, different types of beauty - completely different, it will be very real.
When peace comes to you, when it comes to your body, it is not a false thing, you did not bother to cultivate it, it comes to you naturally, is that it occurs naturally in your body. You will start to feel it growing inside you, just like his mother began to feel that children grow up.
