Techniques to Enter Deep Meditation

"There really is very little
you need to know
about meditation
in order to meditate deeply.
 
The simplest of meditation techniques
can take you into
very high states of bliss.
 
Whether it be simply
watching your breath
move in and out of your body,
 
silently repeating the name of
a Saint, Guru or God
with every breath,
 
or focusing on your sense
of existing beyond thought.
 
It is not the technique
which is so important
but rather your focus
with that technique.
 
Through one pointed focus
on the meditation technique,
you quickly move beyond
your constant mental chatter
into the clarity of awareness itself.
 
If you focus on an object long enough
without allowing any distraction,
subject and object become one.
 
You come to the essence
of attention
which is awareness.
 
While focus is directing your attention
towards an object,
 
awareness is resting
as attention itself.
 
So techniques
are easy ways
to bypass the mind
to awareness itself.
 
If I tell you to be aware,
you could spend the next
thousand years
trying to figure out what that means.
 
If I tell you to sit down,
close your eyes and watch
your breath,
you could be blissful
within minutes.
 
Blessings,
 
 
Kip"

Please Note:
 
My main teaching
is for you to immerse yourself
in Kundalini Shakti -
the energy one naturally
radiates in the highest states
of enlightenment.
 
I have found a way to turn
Kundalini Shakti into sound
So simply by listening to meditation music
you effortlessly awaken
to your natural state of unconditional
peace, bliss and freedom.

from the Infinite Sky Enlightened Meditation CDs.

then these CDs are a must.

and experience the bliss for yourself.

Beyond the Thinking Mind


A moment of danger can bring about a temporary cessation of the stream of thinking and thus give you a taste of what it means to be present, alert, aware.

More on confirming awareness

Yesterdayís reflection invited you to confirm awareness. If confirming awareness is made into a time-bound practice in which you believe that you are working towards a future moment of awakening, the pointer ìconfirm awarenessî has been misheard. It has been usurped by the dream self (ego) - the thought-based, time-bound me involved in the illusion of seeking.

 

Confirming awareness is not about working towards future awakening. Future is a thought arising in timeless awareness. If the thought arises, ìI am working towards enlightenment,î it's the dream self talking.

 

The pointer confirm awareness is an invitation to realize the timeless space in which everything arises and falls. In that way, awareness is an end in and of itself, not a practice to reach some future end. You are simply noticing what you already are. You are not the dream self that lives in thoughts of past, future, and resistance to this moment. That dream arises in the awareness that is naturally at rest in the present moment.

 

Even if you repeatedly confirm awareness, you are still not engaging in the time-bound practice of seeking if you recognize that awareness itself is timeless. It is the space in which doing, including seeking, arises and falls. Seeking happens only when awareness becomes fixated in that movement. Confirming awareness means noticing what is right here, right now. It means noticing that which never entered the search in the first place.

  • The Alto Major is located at the back of the head, at the base of the skull and the top of the neck, in a location also called the occiput.

 

  • The Nasal Chakra is located at the point where the bridge of the nose meets the forehead.

 


 

When we integrate the role these two energy centers play in our emotional make-up, in our energetic relationship with our outer world experiences, a light bulb may flash brightly for us; our Eye Center may function more efficiently.

Changeless Presence

 

(Continuation...)

 

 

 

 

[The process of falling asleep is not one of a separate entity transitioning through states. It is simply the withdrawal of this projection.]

 

 

Due to the fact that we have so closely and exclusively identified Consciousness with the body and the mind, we presume that the absence of the mind and body during the experience of deep sleep implies an absence of Consciousness.

 

However, that is simply the mind's interpretation of an experience during which it was not present. It is a presumption based on a presumption.

 

It is a presumption that Consciousness is in Reality exclusively identified with the body and the mind, and this in turn gives rise to another presumption that Consciousness disappears when the body and mind disappear on falling asleep and, by implication, when the body dies.

 

This is not our experience in the first case and there is no evidence to suggest that it will be our experience in the second.

Go Beyond the l-am-the-body Idea

 

(Continuation...)

 

 

Q: I attended one of the group meditation sessions, held recently in Bombay, and witnessed the frenzy and self-abandon of the participants. Why do people go for such things?

 

M: These are all inventions of a restless mind pampering to people in search of sensations. Some of them help the unconscious to disgorge suppressed memories and longings and to that extent they provide relief. But ultimately they leave the practitioner where he was -- or worse.

(Jordan highlights or comments on quotes from the teachings above.)

  
From Nisargadatta (1/4/12):  "Use every incident of the day to remind you that without you as the witness there would be neither animal nor God."
++++++

From Michael Brown (1/2/12):  "Our overall energy levels are a direct reflection of the condition of our emotional body."

Jordan:  This is interesting and good to know.
