A lot of people spend years trying to learn how to meditate. They get confused trying to figure out what is the right posture for meditation, what to chant, what guided meditation steps to follow, which chakra to focus on, how to breathe etc and finally end up nowhere.
After more than 20 years of struggling with meditation, I finally have been able to achieve a very silent still and Blissful state which now remains with me throughout the day. I have realized that this doesn’t need any particular posture, chant, steps or any guided process. It is downright simple.
These days, I wake up in this state and am able to consciously hold on to it for very long duration, very often for the entire day. I have achieved this primarily through awareness and achieving the zero point state of no-mind. I would like to share this with others so that they too know how to do it.
One mistake that most people make is that they consider meditation as an activity to be done for a certain duration every day. So, people get into meditation, spend a certain time in a meditative state and then come out and get back into their routine life.
I think that instead of this, it would be be great if we can make our entire life a meditative experience right from morning to night.
I have given a link for a video that I have recorded so as to explain this approach in a way that anyone will be able to understand the principle and the method.
This doesn’t require attending any courses, nor any particular sitting posture , no chants, no breathing sequence, nor visualization, nor long guided meditation. We do this simply through awareness of the here and now.
I’m sure a lot of people around are interested in knowing how to manifest their dreams and goals. Very often people put in tremendous effort and engage their mind in endless thinking about their goals and how to convert these into reality., without getting results. This post will serve as a guide to them.
It is important to understand that everything on this earth has always and will always emerge or come from ‘No-thing’. i.e. the state of Nothingness is the state of creation and in order to create something, effort is not required, rather effortlessness is required in the presence of a deep state of Nothingness.
Till the time our mind keeps endlessly running after plans and strategies to make our goals real, we might be missing a very critical ingredient of the recipe. Please understand that I do not imply that planning and strategy is not required, however, if the most fundamental ingredient is missing, no matter how much we plan or create strategies, things will not manifest.
If you have a very turbulent ocean and you throw a large stone into it, it will not create ripples, however, if you have a very still pond of water and drop a tiny grain of sand in it, it will instantly create a ripple.
Note that our entire universe is in the form of vibrations or waves of energy and these energy vibrations can help matter take any form based on their nature. A simple experiment can demonstrate this. Have a look at this link.
If energy is already in a disturbed state, it will not be able to reorganize matter into what you want. and even if it does, what you get will not be exactly what you wanted. It will be distorted, diluted, modified due to the noise.
You might wonder what noise am I referring to. It’s the noise of our mind, the endless chain of thoughts that happen to us. The mind like a drunken monkey keeps jumping around creating endless noise which doesn’t allow stillness to exist. and without stillness, we won’t be able to manifest our dreams.
So, as a first step, learn how to create stillness in yourself. This can be done in three simple steps. Just by becoming AWARE.
Step 1: Become aware … deeply aware of your body or any action that you are doing in the present moment.(When we are anchored in the present moment, the mind simply disappears. it has no existence in this zone called present)
Now that your mind has vanished, you’ll feel some nice feeling of silence, peace, joy within. Your ability to catch this feeling is important. Once you catch this feeling, only then you are ready to move to step 2.
Step 2: This step needs you to simply be deeply aware of the above feeling within. Just be aware of this inner feeling for a few minutes. So first was awareness of the body which lead to the feeling of joy, peace and calm. Step 2 is about being aware of this joy peace and calm. This awareness will bring you to a very deep feeling of stillness in your entire body especially in the base of the spine. You’ll feel very still and calm. as if you have become a rock solid statue. this brings you to step 3.
Step 3: In step 3, just be aware of the Stillness that you have started to feel within. Do this for a few minutes and you’ll feel the stillness get deeper and deeper and more stable. This is the state where you’ll be experiencing a state of Nothing. This is the fertile ground where the seed has to be sown. Here the mind is absent, but our being is present. the whole universe and its potential is available for us to use.
In short, just getting deeper aware sequentially moving step by step into deeper levels of awareness can get you here. This is what will create the fertile ground for your dreams to manifest.
Try this and let me know if you need any support or guidance.
