What is MEDITATION? Meditation is a portal to another dimension, a door to the universal matrix of consciousness, a window to God-realization. Meditation is limitless space-time. The experience of meditation is subtle, yet powerful. It can be a transforming experience if you let it. Most of our daily consciousness is spent in quotidian mental chatter. The monkey in our head is making constant noise and the signal is lost. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could clear the noise and experience only the signal? We can. The ability is within all of us. Meditation is not difficult. You can begin to control your “chattering monkey” by engaging in this simple exercise. 1. Find a quiet place. Sit with your spine erect. Close your eyes. Relax your tongue (this actually helps stop internal chatter). Breathe through your nose. Place your hands in your lap with the back of your right hand resting on the palm of your left hand. 2. Maintaining erect posture, allow your eyes to focus on the space between them. Focus your mind on the space within your head. Feel the air entering and leaving your nose.
3. As you notice your mind wandering, say to yourself, "There goes monkey" and gently bring your mind back to the space within your head. You can expect your mind to wander. 4. Spend a few minutes and then notice the space within your neck, shoulders, chest, arms, legs, etc. all the way down to your toes. Just notice the space within your skin as a volume of emptiness. 5. After 20 minutes or so, gradually open your eyes and become aware again of your surroundings. Gradually, as you practice this daily, you will be able to sustain a relaxed focus for a longer period of time. You are training yourself to be present. Yesterday is the past; tomorrow is the future; today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. What greater gift you can give to yourself than to be present? It changes everything! Being present makes us available to ourselves and to our loved ones. Meditation teaches us how to be present. There is no great mystery here. In the infinite depth of that space within us there arises a knowledge that is enlightenment itself.
