 | Sit in a relaxed posture in a quiet place. |
| Keep your back straight. |
| Close your eyes. |
| Start to watch the blue-black space that appears in front of
your eyes. |
| What power is it that is watching this black space? How
is it that you are aware? |
| Keep sitting in silence letting your attention flow on the background
space of consciousness. |
| Be alert to any happenings that occur while you are
sitting - sounds, feelings in the body, emotions or thoughts. Keep watching
these happenings, but don't put
energy into trying to follow them. If thoughts get you involved and want to
distract you from the
background space, recognize that these are thoughts coming and
going. Don’t give them any
more energy by trying to get rid of them. These
thoughts will naturally
dissipate on their own by patiently watching the background space and
staying alert. |
| Another simple technique in staying
focused: Repeat "I am pure
being" ... "I
am pure being" ... "I am pure
being" ... silently
inside and watch the space in-between the thoughts "I am pure
being"
... "I am pure being" ...
The energy of thought will collect into a pure, relaxed, focused and
healing stream. As you become more and more
absorbed into a state of tranquility, gradually increase the gaps in-between
thoughts. After
repeating "I am pure being" for some time you
can let go completely of the thought.
Then just watch your inner space in peace and
alertness. |
| Sit for as long as comfortably possible. When you feel the need to get up,
don’t hesitate. The important thing is not to force anything in meditation. Don’t feel
that you have to meditate overlong. And while meditating, feel easy to shift
your position, take a lungful of air, roll your neck, etc. |
