The Simplest Ways To Understand What Is Meditation and How To Meditate?
Let go deeper!
Hello beautiful people, and welcome to today's meditation session. Let us today discuss what meditation is and how to meditate.
Meditation is not when you have a particular way of meditating. Let's say you have a specific thing that you do, that will bring you to meditation.
Let's say, for example, transcendental meditation.
What is transcendental meditation?
Transcendental meditation is a meditation where you transcend the state in which you are and cause something else or you become something else, but what does that mean?
First of all, to realize that you have to look inside of yourself. You see, we live every daily life thinking all the time. There is no single second in our life where our brain is ultimately still. It is constantly working, always thinking and always comparing.
We are so bored with everything that's happening around us. We are so used to how the world looks around us, and we want something more significant. We want something special, something more than what this is. We want to become something extraordinary. We want to have a higher consciousness. We want to reincarnate to help other people.
Everything escapes from that, which is and that is. We are never now. We are never in a presence. We are never entirely watching, observing what is happening outside and inside and not changing it. As a result of leading such a life, our brain becomes dull. It becomes tiring. The brain cannot think straight. It is constantly comparing and always looking for something new. It is always looking for some more immense experience, something better, something intangible.
Our brain is never looking for what it is. Is that a meditation? Is that the meditation where your small ego transcends something and becomes a giant ego? No, that is not meditation.
Now, let us look at mantras. Let us say you have a guru, and he says here is a mantra for you, repeat these words. Repeat them over and over and over, and you will reach that state where your brain is just now. But does it help?
Have you ever tried something like a mantra? Let's say we have a mantra that says, Ohm or Amen. We are saying all the time, Amen, Amen or Ohm, Ohm. When we say these mantras, our brain starts to repeat that over and over and over. And in that process, it became still, but it's not a stillness that is needed to watch on observation. It is a mechanical state of stillness.
When the mind is a state in which you diminish your brain's capacity because you are saying one thing repeatedly until it stops thinking of everything else. That is not meditation.
Now, let us go further. Is there a meditation where you have some technique that you have to do? Let's say breathing, it's always linked to meditation.
Breathing and calming yourself, does it help you? Yes, it may, it can help you when you are in a panic situation, where you need your state to bring yourself to a calm level. But is that a meditation? Or is meditation entirely something else, completely different?
When you watch your breathing, try it for yourself, don't just listen to me. Do it with me. Let's say we are doing now—breath in, and breath out. Slowly breath in and breath out.
What has happened while you have breath, while you are breathing? What is happening? While you are breathing, you stop your brain from thinking and focus your brain on breathing. So, the brain is again tiring itself. It's recording, and it's not still. It's not watching. It has just changed one thing to another instead of thinking I have to go; I have to do this.
Now the brain is thinking that I have to breathe, and I have to watch how I breathe. So, it's the same thing as before. If you want to go in duality, you can say this state is better than this state, and I would agree with you, but that is not meditation. It is just a way for calming yourself.
But if you want to do meditation, firstly, you have to be completely free yourself from all that is not meditation. You have to try it, watch it, observe and see what meditation is not.
When you are free from your thoughts, when you are free from what meditation should look like, perhaps then you can start to meditate. Perhaps only then your brain will be in a presence, watching, observing what is happening inside and outside. Perhaps that is the start of meditation.
As always, try it for yourself, please do it for yourself, watch. Ask yourself all this question, and the most important question you can ask is: "can I be free from everything that my brain is thinking and from the knowledge that I've learned"? Ask yourself, can I stop my brain from thinking all the time?
I wish you a lot of luck and a lot of observation in your journey, and I hope you can reach this place and start the actual meditation.
As always, thank you for being with me on today's meditation session, and until next time, please listen to infinite love meditate. And don't forget that you are your infinite I's and eyes.
