The biggest problem everyone has with meditation is thoughts.
Pesky, pesky thoughts.
Everyone believes that they need to get rid of thoughts and then meditation begins.
The fact is:
You can’t stop your mind.
It’s busy and active because you are alive.
If you’ve ever tried to shut it down you’ll know it’s only possible for a few seconds, maybe a few minutes, tops.
There is an easier and much more fruitful way.
It is one of the key things that I teach on the Ascension meditation weekend, and crucial for you to get to become the boss of your own mind.
You need to come to a place where you can be at peace with your mind, no matter what it looks like.
Let it run, let the mind chatter, good, bad, horrendous.
Doesn’t matter.
You are not the content of your thoughts.
If you allow the mind, you can then find a way of going beyond it.
You can be aware of what else there is.
Now, where ever you are, just relax into yourself. Open your senses right up to everything. Stop and do nothing, just for a moment.
Just notice what it like to be alive and present right now.
Simply - without changing a thing, or straining, or pushing - just be aware.
That is part of what I teach people to do in Ascension mediation. The other, probably most important part, is the tool you use from there to bring you deeper in.
When you use the Ascension meditation techniques they meditate for you - no matter what your mind is saying.
It’s like gravity. No matter what your mind believes or says or thinks, if you jump in the air, you’re going to come back down (let me know if you don’t).
Same, same. The techniques mean thoughts become irrelevant.
Whatever you do the bottom line is that you need not stop your mind. So stop trying to stop it. Find a way around it.
