Meditation
Learn to stop and you will learn stability,
Once stable, you will learn to rest,
In rest, you will learn serenity,
In serenity, you will learn to reflect,
And through reflection, you will succeed.
—Tseng Tzu
The purpose of meditation for me is to learn to be less judgmental, more objective about my thoughts, and less affected by them and let go of uninvited thoughts that enter my mind. Also, learn to live more in the present rather than engaging too much of past or future. If our mind is clear and focused, we can use our brain power to discover new ideas, solutions for business, creating innovative ideas, improving our communications, so there will be much in use. So, it is wise to clear our minds from cobwebs and let minds be sharp and fresh.
When we repeatedly return to issues that we encountered or expect to encounter soon, we project our mind either into the past or into the future. When this lack of presence repeatedly pervades daily activities it can negatively affect relationships with our family and friends. Being aware of my mental state will help me to choose better things on purpose instead of falling into the usual traps that promote suffering.
I was searching better-suited mediation techniques and tried several. In the end, I found this set-up, and it seems simple and doable. I will share it with you.
Practice
Choose a quiet room where you won’t be disturbed for 15 minutes in the morning before having breakfast. First take half a minute to relax your body, without tensing and relaxing muscles. Focus primarily on the breath entering and exiting the nostrils, let go of all your concerns, all your planning; just attend to normal, natural, non-controlled breath. Then remind yourself of the purpose of your practice and start meditating on it. You may find a solution from your inner voice, try it. Remember, the great inventor, Thomas Edison had a private room to meditate and find the solutions for new ideas (today we use his great invention-the light bulbs)!
