 | Sit in a relaxed posture in a quiet place. |
|
Keep the back straight.
|
|
Close the eyes.
|
|
Start to
watch the blue-black space that appears in front of the eyes.
|
|
What
power is it that is watching the black space? How is it that we are
aware?
|
|
Keep sitting in silence letting
the attention flow on the background space of consciousness.
|
|
Be alert to any happenings
that occur while sitting - sounds, feelings in the body, emotions
or thoughts. Keep watching the happenings,
but don't put energy into following them.
If thoughts get us involved and want to distract
us from the background space, recognize that these
are just thoughts coming and going.
We don’t give them power or 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 is to
repeat "I am pure being"
... "I am pure being" ...
"I am pure being" ... silently
inside while watching 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,
healing stream. As we become more and more
absorbed into a state of tranquility, we can gradually increase
the gaps in-between thoughts. After
repeating "I am pure being"
for some time we can let go of the thought
completely. Then we just watch our
inner space in peace and alertness.

|
Sit for as long as comfortably
possible. When we feel the need to get up, we get up. No need to force
anything in meditation. We don't have to meditate overlong. And while
meditating, we should feel easy to shift our position, take a lungful
of air, roll our neck, etc.
