The Three Golden Keys
to Experiencing Bliss |
|
|
|
#1
Relax your entire
body.
Sit comfortably in a chair (or on the floor) and release any tension in
your body from head to toe. Imagine your body is filled with
relaxing healing energy that releases ANY tension being held inside.
Keep your spine vertical yet relaxed, as if your spine were a gently
balanced stack of golden coins. Let you hands rest comfortably
wherever they are.
#2 Sit
still and be very quiet inside.
Do not move, yet do not try not to move. Simply be quiet, solitary
and still. It may help to pretend you are a statue that just
happens to breathe on its own. Don't do anything. Learning
how to meditate happens when all your attention is resting inside.
Pull yourself within this "vertical center" of your body (that runs from
the top of your head to the base of your spine) and allow your mind to
relax in here. Eventually it will slow down and stop the mental
chatter. When thoughts arises, just watch and release them as they
come. Notice thoughts without getting caught in them.
Whatever distractions that arise, just let them, and return to being
unfocused pure presence. Simply practice being completely empty,
quiet and free. The state of pure unbounded consciousness is your
natural state.
#3 Experience your own Presence.
Just experiencing your own presence is a way to transcend the mind.
Focus on being unfocused and experiencing your own presence.
Be patient with taming your mind. Any results from meditation practice may
take from 3 days to 3 months to notice any shifts at all. If you have been
"meditating" for years and feel you're not getting any benefit from it, your
mind is still focusing and wandering. Simply let go of ALL efforting and
relax into being present to stillness.

Learning how to meditate and
master your mind will take months and most likely years,
especially if you're used to a busy life and mind. So be
VERY patient with yourself and your progress. Further down the
road in your life your meditation practice will have many great
rewards! You'll be more centered in times of chaos, more able to
manifest what you want physically, and more healthy emotionally,
mentally and physically! The devotion to yourself and constant
self-love will be well worth it for years to come!

Learning how to meditate
is the
essential foundation to world peace.
When you become the master of your mind,
you also master your life.
The secret to living a life
of bliss is very simple and
easy.
By quieting the mind we
can control it,
and eventually tame it completely.
Learning how to meditate enables us to hold our focus
on what we want and attract that experience into our lives.
There's nothing
you do to actually
"meditate".
Simply sit being unfocused
and experience your own presence.
The mind tends to wander
so it may need more of a structure
if it cannot stay present to being unfocused.
If this occurs, focus of the sensation of air passing
in and out of your nostrils you can
learn how to calm the mind.
There are basically two
kinds of meditation,
the
traditional and the non-traditional.
Traditional meditation techniques would include
the
repetition of an affirmation such as chanting
a mantra, or perhaps following your breath,
gazing into a candle flame etc. These are done
for the sole purpose of training the mind to remain
more in the present moment. These techniques use
a fixed experience inside or outside the body, such
as a thought or idea, to center and still the mind.
With the non-traditional approach, anything and
everything you do can become a meditation.
Walking to the bus stop, making dinner,
washing your clothes, eating, etc.
These everyday experiences become
meditative when you bring a mindfulness
and a fullness of your being into your experience.
How much consciousness and presence
can you have while you're washing the dishes?
Feeling the warm water run across your hands,
the sound of scrubbing the pot, this too is meditation.
