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.
 
If you are serious about meditation
then these CDs are a must.

and experience the bliss for yourself.

Unconditional Peace & Bliss is Yours For the Taking

Beyond the Thinking Mind

 
The Truth is far more all-encompassing than the mind could ever comprehend. No thought can encapsulate the Truth. At best, it can point to it. For example, it can say: "All things are intrinsically one." That is a pointer, not an explanation. Understanding these words means feeling deep within you the truth to which they
point.

The inseparability of awareness and thought

The last few reflections have been pointing directly to non-conceptual awareness. In confirming awareness, it is tempting to deny or suppress thought or to treat concepts as undesirable. Just notice the tendency to deny or suppress thought. That is the dream (mental) self doing what it does best - controlling. The mind is seeking a state that is free of the mind. Can you see the futility of that?

 

Confirming awareness simply means recognizing - even repeatedly - the space in which concepts arise and fall. This awareness has its own quieting mechanism. Timeless, non-conceptual awareness is already free of thought and time. It is the vast, inward space in which time and thought arise. The space is naturally quiet and still. It is the emptiness from which everything - every movement of thought - comes.

 

That is the amazing thing. It is the space from which every concept arises, which means the concept is none other than the space from which it comes. In this seeing, thought is seen to be empty, just as the space that gives birth to it. Thought no longer has the power to cause suffering and seeking, yet it remains there to serve its practical functioning. Thought isallowed to flow freely and naturally fromits source but there is no longer identification with it. This dance between the source and its manifestation is one dance - One Life appearing as many, non-dual awareness appearing as dualistic thought.

Changeless Presence

There is evidence that sentience disappears on death, but not that Consciousness disappears.

 

After a period of deep sleep, the Consciousness that was present there takes the shape of thinking and imagining and, as a result, the dream state reappears.

 

And in turn, after a period of dreaming, Consciousness takes the shape of sensing and perceiving and, as a result, the body and the world are recreated - that is, the waking state reappears.

Go Beyond the l-am-the-body Idea

Q: I have read recently a book by a Yogi on his experiences in meditation. It is full of visions and sounds, colors and melodies; quite a display and a most gorgeous entertainment! In the end they all faded out and only the feeling of utter fearlessness remained. No wonder -- a man who passed through all these experiences unscathed need not be afraid of anything! Yet I was wondering of what use is such book to me?

 

M: Of no use, probably, since it does not attract you. Others may be impressed. People differ. But all are faced with the fact of their own existence. 'I am' is the ultimate fact; 'Who am l?' is the ultimate question to which everybody must find an answer.

 

Q: The same answer?

 

M: The same in essence, varied in expression.

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.
