HOW TO PRACTICE MINDFULLNESS!

 

                       THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULLNESS

                                                                  ❤💫❤

                                YOU ARE HOLDING A RABBIT IN YOUR HANDS. WHAT ELSE IS THERE EXCEPT SENSORY PERCEPTION? WHY MUST THERE BE ANYTHING BEYOND SENSORY PERCEPTION? JUST LOOK AT THE CREATURE, LOOK INTO HIS EYES. LET THE PERCEPTION BE TOTAL, AND YOU WILL REALIZE WHAT IS BEYOND PERCEPTION BUT THAT COMES AS GRACE.

                          AM NOT ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS EXAMPLE AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF BEING MINDFUL TOWARDS ONE'S ACTIVITIES LIKE EATING, WALKING, ETC. IN ONE OF YOUR TALKS, YOU HAVE DISCOURAGED THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS AND MENTIONED THAT OBSERVATION MEANS, AM I WITH THE BELOVED OR NOT? IT IS OBSERVATION OF THE INSIDE. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS BETTER.

💟💟💟

                              I HAVE SAID, REPEATEDLY, THAT YOU CANNOT BE PURPOSELESSLY MINDFUL. CONSCIOUSNESS IS ANYWAY VERY, VERY BURDENED. MAN'S MIND IS A STOREHOUSE OF ALL KINDS OF STUFF. MAN'S MIND IS ALREADY FULL. YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOAD IT MORE SENSORY OBJECTS.

                    SO, WHEN YOU DO LOOK AT SOMETHING WHEN YOU DO ADMIT SOMETHING INTO YOUR MIND SPACE, THERE MUST BE A STRONG AND VALID REASON. IN OTHER SENSE, MINDFULNESS HAS TO BE VERY, VERY PURPOSEFUL. NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GAIN ENTRY INTO YOUR MIND UNLESS THE ENTRY SERVES A CLEAR PURPOSE.

                                            💟💟💟

                      SO, IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY BENEFITS YOU WITH INSIGHTS, THEN BE MINDFUL OF IT, THEN ALLOW IT ENTRY INTO YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. OTHERWISE, JUST BEING CONSCIOUS OF EVERY LITTLE, TRIVIAL THING AND OBJECT THAT IS HAPPENING IN YOU, AROUND YOU, WILL LEAVE YOU NOWHERE. THERE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE DISMISSIVE, REGARDLESS, OBLIVIOUS- CONTEMPTUOUSLY OBLIVIOUS.

                           PURPOSEFUL. PURPOSEFUL. YOU MUST KNOW WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING. AND THE QUESTION THEN IS, IF YOU HAVE LOOKED AT THOSE VIDEOS CAREFULLY, "AM I WITH THE BELOVED OR NOT"? THAT IS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT MUST CONSTANTLY OCCUPY YOUR MIND SPACE.

💟💟💟

                           SO, DO BE MINDFUL OF STUFF THAT HELPS BRING BACK THIS QUESTION TO YOU, AND BE TOTALLY DISMISSIVE OF OTHER STUFF. JUST RANDOMLY AND PURPOSELESSLY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF STEPS THAT YOU TAKE FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE WASHROOM IS NO GOOD. IT IS A RANDOM AND DEAD PRACTICE. IT WILL FURTHER BURDEN AND DULL DOWN YOUR MIND.

                        NOTHING CAN BE JUST A MINDLESS PRACTICE. OTHERWISE, IT BECOMES THE ABSURDITY OF MINDLESS MINDFULLNESS. SO, WHEN YOU SAY THAT MINDFULNESS IS GOOD, I WILL SAY FINE, BUT BE MINDFULLY MINDFUL. DON'T BE RAMDOMLY MINDFUL, BECAUSE THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH FILTH THAT CAN FILL UP YOUR MIND. WHY MUST YOU ALLOW IT?

                                                 💟💟💟

               THE ART OF LIVING IS TO NOT KNOW A LOT. THERE MUST BE REALLY A LOT THAT YOU MUST KOT KNOW AT ALL. AND WHEN  SAY "KNOW",  I MEAN KNOWING IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS YOU. AND WE DO GET RELATED TO THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE, DON'T WE? AND THEN THE KNOWLEDGE BECOMES BURDEN.

                        SO, WE SHOULD JUST HAVE FUN!

                     TO MANY PEOPLE T SOUNDS SO BAD, THAT LIFE IS NOT A BURDEN AND YOU CAN JUST HAVE FUN. THIS S THE GREATEST NGHTMARE FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. "FUN? THE GREAT SIN!".

•                ❤     QUES : NO ATTACHMENT IS THERE?

                      ANS : AH, IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYBODY! WE ARE NOT HERE TO HAVE OUR EXPECTATIONS FULLFILLED. EVERYBODY WILL GET THAT SLAP ON THE BACK, SO I TOO GET THAT. NOW, WHAT IS SO SERIOUS ABOUT IT? KEEP TALKING IT!

•           ❤      QUES :    BUT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES IN LIFE, AND SOME METHODS OF MEDITATION TAKE YOU TO A CERTAN STATE THAT HELPS YOU TO LET GO OF YOUR ISSUES AND FEEL RELAXED AND ALL SUCH THINGS. ISN'T THAT VERY BEAUTIFUL?

                  ANS : I JUST WANT TO ASK SOMETHING. IF THAT STATE IS REALLY, WHAT YOU WANTED, THEN WHY DO NOT OPT TO COME OUT OF IT? IF YOU REALLY LOVE RISHIKESH, WHY DO YOU GO BACK? WHY?

•                    ❤    QUES : SO, DOES THAT MEAN THAT LIFE ITSELF ITSELF SHOULD BECOME MEDITATION?

                        QUES :  I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY INTO THE EGO, VERY OCCUPIED WTH THEIR WORK, BUSINESS, ETC. AND THEY USE A PROCESS OF MEDITATION TO CALM THEIR MIND, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVEN CONCENTRATE WELL IF YOUR MIND IS NOT CALM.

                            SO, THEY GO THROUGH A PERIOD OF MEDITATION, AND THEN THEY DROP THE MEDITATION ONCE THEY ARE CALM AND GO ABOUT THEIR WORK. THESE KIND OF PEOPLE WOULD FIND IT VERY HARD TO UNDERTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM. THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THAT SMALL WINDOW OF RELIEF.

                                                         💫💫💫💫

THE FOUR STATES OF MIND!

 

                                     WHAT IS MEDITATION?

                                 FOR EXAMPLE, CONCENTRATING ON THE BREATHING.

                                ANS : HAVE WE NOT ALREADY TALKED OF CONCENTRATION? TO CONCENTRATE IS TO FORCE THE MIND TO A PARTICULAR OBJECT, AND THE MND DOES NOT LIKE BEING FORCED. SO, IS MEDITATION ABOUT CONCENTRATON? THEN THE MIND WILL NEVER ARGREE WITH MEDITATION. OR, IS MEDITATION SOMETHING ELSE?

                         WHAT IS MEDITATION? THE VERY ACTION OF A PARTICULAR MIND IS CALLED MEDITATION. WHATEVER YOU DO IN PEACE IS MEDITATION. THIS IS MEDITATION. THAT IS MEDITATION. ALL IS MEDITATION.

                            MEDITATION DOES NOT BRING PEACE. MEDITATION BEGINS IN PEACE. PEACE IS NOT THE END OF MEDITATION, PEACE IS THE BEGINNING OF MEDITATION.

                     YOU CANNOT MEDITATE IN ORDER TO BE PEACEFUL. WHEN YOU ARE PEACEFUL, ALL IS MEDITATION.

                           AND WHAT PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING PEACEFUL? THE IDEA THAT YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO GET PEACE. SO, THE VERY EFFORT TO MEDITATE IS  A BARRIER TO MEDITATIVENESS.

THE VERY ACTION OF A PEACEFUL MIND IS CALLED MEDITATION. WHATEVER YOU DO IN PEACE IS MEDITATION.

PEACE IS NOT THE END OF MEDITATION. PEACE IS THE BEGINNING OF MEDITATION.

                              THE FOUR STATES OF MIND

                              THE FIRST STATE : THOUGHTS KEEP ARISING AND I GET LOST. MOST OF THE TIME, THESE THOUGHTS RELATE TO FEAR AND WORRIES.

                             THE SECOND STATE : I MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING, I AM AWARE OF THE DECISION, BUT THEN THE STUFF OF STAGE ONE INTERVENES AND CARRIES ME AWAY AGAIN.

                        THE THIRD STATE : I SIT SILENTLY DOING PRANAYAMA (BREATH CONTROL) AND PAYING ATTENTION TO THE BREATH. THOUGHS KEEP ARISING IN THE BACKGROUND. I TRY TO KEEP MY ATTENTION ON THE BREAH. I KEEP HEARING SOUNDS NEAR ME, BUT I STILL REMAIN ATTENTIVE.

                        THE FOURTH STATE : I AM WORKING ON SOMETHING AND COMPLETELY ABSORBED IN IT WITHOUT ANY THOUGHTS AND DON'T EVEN REALIZING ANYTHING HAPPENING AROUND ME. I AM JUST COMPLETELY ABSORBED IN WHAT I AM DOING.

                        IT IS NATURAL TO OBSERVE THIS? ARE THESE ALL THE SAME OR DIFFERENT? AND BY DOING IT, WILL I GO CLOSER TO A BETTER QUALITY OF ATTENTION OR DHYANA (MEDITATION) , IR IS IT ANOTHER TRICK OF THE MIND?

                             WHEN YOU ARE MENTIONING THESE FOUR STATES, YOU ARE PROBABLY ASSUMING A PROGRESSION. THE FIRST STATE IS WHEN THOUGHTS ARISE AND TAKE YOU AWAY, IT IS ALMOST LIKE GETTING KIDNAPPED . AND IN THE FOURTH STATE, YOU ARE TALKING OF THE DISSAPPEARANCE OF THOUGHTS. IN THE FOURTH STATE, YOU SAY IN ARE JUST COMPLETELY ABSORBED IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

STOP BEING A WATCHMAN. ATTENTION IS NOT ABOUT KEEPING AN EYE ON YOURSELF. ATTENTION IS ABOUT BEING AN ATTENDANT TO THE TRUTH. ATTENTIONIS ABOUT NOT GETTING IDENTIFIED WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE PHENOMENALLY DOING.

LIBERATION SHORT NOTES!

 

                    LIBERATION, MEDITATION, HEART, 

                                         AND FREE WILL

                               WHAT IS LIBERATION?

                           WHAT IS BONDAGE? THERE IS NOTHING CALLED LIBERATION, NOTHING AT ALL. IT'S JUST THAT BECAUSE THERE IS BONDAGE, HENCE THERE IS LIBERATION. IN THE ABSENCE OF BONDAGE YOU ARE LIBERATED FROM LIBERATION AS WELL.

                          QUES :    IS MEDITATION THE ONLY WAY TO ATTAIN LIBERATION?

                          ANS :

                         WHAT IS MEDITATION? IF MEDITATION MEANS CHALLENGING YOUR BONDAGES, THEN YES, IF MEDITATION MEANS DOING THIS AND THAT, THEN NO.

                         QUES : DOES LIBERATION MEAN THAT WE ARE FREE FROM ALL THE RESPONSIBILITIES?

                       ANS : FIRST OF ALL, YOU CANNOT USE THE WORD "RESPONSIBILITY" IN THE SAME BREATH, IN TWO DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS. THAT WHICH WE KEEP ON DOING ON A DAILY BASIS, IF THAT IS WHAT IS TO BE CALLED AS RESPONSIBILITY, THEN LIBERATION IS NO RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL. AND IF LIBERATION IS THE REAL RESPONSIBILITY THEN THERE CAN BE NO OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES.

 

 

                            YOU CANNOT SAY THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MEETING YOUR QUARTERLY SALES TARGET AND YOU ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIBERATION. CHOOSE THE WORD CAREFULLY.

                        QUES : WHY IT IS SO EASY TO FALL INTO BONDAGE?

                             ANS : IT IS ATTRACTIVE AND IT CARRIES THE NAME OF LIBERATION. LET BONDAGE COME TO YOU HONESTLY DECLARING IT IS BONDAGE, AND THEN WE WILL SEE WHETHER BONDAGE ATTRACTS YOU. BECAUSE YOU ARE A GREAT LOVER OF LIBERATION, THEREFORE BONDAGE MANAGES TO DUPE YOU.

 

                       LOVE WITHOUT WISDOM MEANS A LOT OF SUFFERING.

THE QUESTION IS NOT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY. THE QUESTION IS HOW ARE YOU DOING ALONG THE JOURNEY. LIFE IS THE JOURNEY.

                   WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEELINGS AND VOICE OF THE HEART?

                       IN THE EAST, IN FACT EVERYWHERE IN THE SPIRITUAL DOMAIN, THE HEART HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO REPRESENT THE CENTER OF FEELINGS. IT IS THE CENTER OF WISDOM. THE MIND IS TAKEN AS THE CENTER OF ALL MENTAL ACTIVITY, AND ALL MENTAL ACTIVITY INCLUDES BOTH THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.

                   SO THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS BOTH EMANATE FROM THE MIND. WISDOM, REALIZATION, THAT'S WHAT THE HEART IS ABOUT. SO, HEART HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FEELINGS.

                           SO NOTHING IS PRESET. YOU HAVE FREE WILL, FREE WILL DOES EXIST. YOU BETTER ALIGN YOUR FREE WILL WITH YOUR EVENTUAL AND TOTAL FREEDOM. DON'T MISUSE FREE WILL.

                         WHAT IS THE LIMITATION OF FREE WILL? IT IS FREE TO GO BERSERK. IT IS FREE TO CHOOSE ALL MADNESS. IT IS FREED TO MAKE ALL THE WRONG DECISIONS. BUT IT IS NOT FREE TO ULTIMATELY NOT BE LIBERATED. ULTIMATELY, FREE WILL HAS TO SURRENDER TO LIBERATION. BUT HOW LONG WOULD THAT TAKE? THAT DEPENS TOTALLY ON YOU.

                             HENCE, ALIGN YOUR FREE WILL WITH FREEDOM. CHOOSE RIGHTLY.

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT VIPASSANA MEDITATION?

 

       WHAT IS VIPASSANA MEDITATION?

                               WHAT IS VIPASSANA? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WATCH THE BREATH?

                           THAT WHICH YOU CALL VIPASSAN TODAY IS A VERY RECENT PHENOMENON. THEY CLAIM THAT IT COMES FROM THE BUDDHA, ACTUALLY, IT DOES NOT . THE STREAM FLOWING FROM BUDDHA GOT EXTINCT AROUND THE 8TH OR 10TH CENTURY AD. THIS MODERN VIPASSANA CAME UP IN BURMA JUST AROUND A 100 YEARS BACK, AND THIS IS NOT WHAT THE BUDDHA TAUGHT. IT IS VERY MUCH AN IMPROVISED THING.

                   IF YOU COULD REALLY LOOK, FIRST OF ALL YOU WOULD LOOK INTO WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. WHY WOULD YOU BE SOMEONE WHO HAS THE CAPACITY TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AS SUBTLE AS THE BREATH, AND YET HE IS NOT ABLE TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AS GROSS ARE SO ACTIONS?

                    IT IS ABOUT LOOKING, RIGHT? OBSERVING, VIPASSANA, OBSERVING RIGHTLY. THE BREATH IS SUBTLE, ACTIONS ARE SO LOUD.

                    SEE HOW YOU ARE LIVING THAT'S ALL.

                           OBVIOUSLY, SEEING IS IMPORTANT, BUT WHAT TO SEE? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BREATH! WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING THE BREATH? OR MAYBE WATCHING THE BREATH IS A CONVENIENT WAY TO AVOID WATCHING THAT WHICH REALLY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED.

                       YOU NEED TO WATCH YOUR BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS YOUR WIFE. INSTEAD OF THAT, YOU ARE WATCHING YOUR BREATH. NICE TRICK. SMART CHAP!

                     YOU NEED TO WATCH HOW GREEDY YOU ARE TOWARDS YOUR CUSTOMERS AND HOW EXPLOITATIVE YOU ARE TOWARDS YOUR EMPLOYEES. AND INSTEAD OF THAT, YOU ARE WATCHING YOUR BREATH. NICE, PRETTY NICE!

WATCHING THE BREATH IS A CONVENIENT WAY TO AVOID WATCHING THAT WHICH REALLY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED.

                     YOU NEED TO WATCH YOUR RESTLESSNESS WHEN YOU ARE WAITING AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL - AND IT IS SO EVIDENT, IT IS OBSERVABLE. LOOK AT THE TENSION IN YOUR CALVES. SEE HOW YOU ARE CONSTANTLY PUSHING AT THE CLUTCH PEDAL OR THE ACCELATOR EVEN THOUGH YOU FULLY WELL KNOW THAT THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. THERE ARE FORTY MORE SECONDS TO GO BEFORE IT GOES GREEN, AND YOU SEE HOW YOUR LEGS ARE TWITCHING, AND YOU ARE FUDDLING WITH THE CONTROLS? THE MOMENT IT GOES GREEN, YOU HONK!

                         SO, YOU GO FOR A TEN-DAY VIPASSANA RETREAT. TEN DAYS OF WATCHING THE BREATH, AND THEN YOU CAN COME OUT WITH A CERTIFICATE THAT HELPS THE INNER LIE. "I AM SPIRITUAL. NOW I CAN GO BACK TO MY SHOP AND CONTINUE ADULTERATING AND LOOTING!"

                              YOU WON'T OBSERVE THE FACE OF THE GOAT OR THE CHICKEN BEING SLAUGHTERED FOR YOUR FOOD IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. DO YOU OBSERVE THIS? NO, THAT IS SOMETHING YOU STUBBORNLY WANT TO AVOID OBSERVING - BUT YOU WANT TO OBSERVE YOUR BREATH. HOW EXOTIC. SERIOUSLY SPIRITUAL!

                OBSERVATION IS GREAT, AND YES, THE BUDDHA DID TEACH THE OBSERVATION. BUT OBSERVE WHAT?

                              QUESTION AND ANSWER ABOUT OBSERVATION!

                  QUES : SO, ALL THESE MEDITATION TECHNIQUES OF WATCHING AND OBSERVING THE BREATH ARE BEST TO BE AVOIDED?

                     ANS : OBSERVE, BUT OBSERVE THE REAL THING. I AM REPEATING THIS.

                                                             ❤❤❤❤❤❤

                QUES : THERE ARE MANY TEACHERS WHO SAY THAT WATCHING THE BREATH IS THE REAL THING?

 

              ANS : WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THEM, WE HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME. SHOULD WE SPEND THIS TIME TALKING ABOUT CHARLATANS? AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO ACCUSE THEM, THEY THEMSELVES ARE MISLED. MAYBE THEY NEVER HAD A TEACHER WHO COULD TELL THEM A FEW NUANCED THINGS.

 

                           THEY ARE JUST FOLLOWING THE TRADITION. THEIR GURU WAS OBSERVING THE BREATH, SO WAS HIS GURU, AND SO THEY HAVE NOW OPENED A SHOP AND ALL WITH ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENING. AND ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A TRADITION, IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BREAK AWAY.

                                                                  ❤❤❤❤❤❤

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT MEDITATION?

 

                                 WHAT IS MEDITATION ?

                          WHAT IS MEDITATION ? IS  MEDITATION ABOUT UNDERSTANDING? WHAT IS MEANT BY PURIFYING THE MIND THROUGH MEDITATION? THE PRACTICE OF MEDITATION IS MENTIONED AT MANY PLACES. WHAT IS THIS PRACTICE ABOUT? IS THERE ANY METHODLESS METHOD TO ATTAIN THE UNCHANGED UNDERSTANDING OR MEDITATIVE STATE?

                         "JUST AS GOLD, BY THOROUGH HEATHING IN FIRE, GIVES UP ITS IMPURITIES AND GAINS ITS OWN LUSTRE, SO TOO THE MIND THROUGH MEDITATION SHEDS ITS IMPURITIES OF SATTVA, RAJAS, AND TAMAS, AND ATTAINS THE NATURE OF BRAHMA".

                        THE QUESTION IS ABOUT MEDITATION. WHAT IS MEDITATION? IS THERE ANY METHODLESS METHOD? IS MEDITATION ABOUT UNDERSTANDING ? LET'S BEGIN FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW OF. YOU KNOW OF THOUGHT, RIGHT? YOU KNOW OF THOUGHT. SO BEGIN WITH THOUGHT.

                       WHAT IS THOUGHT? THERE IS YOU AND THERE IS THE OBJECT YOU ARE THINKING OF , AND THERE IS A RELATION BETWEEN YOU AND THAT OBJECT. YOU DON'T JUST THINK OF ANYTHING. YOU DEFINE THE OBJECT YOU ARE THINKING OF. THE OBJECT THAT YOU THINK OF DEPENDS ON YOU, AND THE RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS OF EITHER FEAR OR GREED.

                               THAT WHICH ARE ARE EITHER WANTS OR REPELS. THAT WHICH YOU ARE IS EITHER GREEDY OR AFRAID. HE KNOWS NO OTHER STATE. THAT IS THOUGHT : YOU WANT SOMETHING.

                      WHAT IS MEDITATION THEN? MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU WANT THE HIGHEST ALONE. MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU ARE FED UP OF LOOKING AT THE SMALL. MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SMALL AND YOU SAY THAT "IF THIS IS ALL THAT I CAN LOOK AT, THEN IT CANNOT BE SMALL, IT HAS TO BE VERY, VERY LARGE."

MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU WANT THE HIGHEST ALONE. MEDITATIONN IS WHEN YOU ARE FED UP OF LOOKING AT THE SMALL.

                         MEDITATION IS WHEN NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS, THEREFORE, THE OBJECT YOU AIM AT.

                           I WANT THE TRUTH". YOU CAN SAY YOUR SOLE FOCUS, THEN, IS THE TRUTH. BUT THE TRUTH, AS WE KNOW, IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE THOUGHT OF, BECAUSE ONE IS TOO SMALL TO THINK IF THE TRUTH. THEREFORE, IF ONE STUBBORNLY INSISTS THAT NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS TO BE KNOWN, THEN EITHER ONE FAILS OR ONE BURSTS.

                   PLEASE UNDERSTAND. THERE IS A BALLON, IT CAN ONLY HOLD A LIMITED QUANTITY, A LIMITED VOLUME OF AIR. YOU TRY TO INFLATE IN BEYOND ITS PERMISSIBLE LIMIT, EITHER YOU WILL FAIL IN INFLATING IT AND THE BALLON WON'T GROW BEYOND A PARTICULAR SIZE, OR THE BALLOON WOULD BURST. MEDITATION IS THE BURSTING OF THE BALLON. THE BALLOON IS SAYING, "I WANT TO HOLD THE INFINITE. I WANT TO HOLD THE SKY. JUST HOLDING A LITTLE BIT OF AIR IS NO FUN. I WANT TO HOLD THE SKY". SO , THE BALLON BURSTS. 

                  YOU ARE LOOKING AT SOMETHING AND YOU ARE CONTENTED WITH THE LOOKS YOU ARE CONTENTED WITH THE FORM, YOU ARE CONTENTED WITH THE LABEL - THEN MEDITATION IS NOT FOR YOU. MEDITATION IS WHEN YOU LOOK AND YOU ARE NOT CONTENTED. YOU SAY YOU WANT MORE. YOU SAY, "IT IS JUST NOT WANT IS APPEARS TO BE" . YOU WANT TO BE SHARPER, YOU WANT TO BE FINER.

                        THEREFORE, MEDITATION IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO EASILY SATISFIED. AND THEREFORE, MEDITATION IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO PRACTICE METHODS.

                         MEDITATION IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A TASTE FOR THE MYSTICAL.

                       MEDITATION IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A KNACK FOR THE UNKNOWABLE.

              MEDITATION IS THE HONEST WAY OF LOOKING AT THE UNIVERSE, AND THAT INCLUDES YOURSELF. WHEN YOU ARE HONESLY LOOKING AT ANYTHING , YOU ARE MEDIATING. WHEN YOU ARE COMMITTED TO THE TRUGH, THEN YOU ARE MEDITATING.

                           AND WHEN YOU SAY THAT EVEN THE HALF-TRUGHS AND LIES ARE ACCEPTABLE, THEN IT IS BEYOND YOU TO MEDITATE. MEDITATION IS FOR THE DARING ONES, WHO SAY THAT, "WE ARE PREPARED TO DIE, WE ARE PREPARED TO DISAPPEAR, BUT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THE STORIES. WE WANT TO GO INTO THE DEEP, DARK CAVE ADN FIGURE OUT FOR OURSELVES WHAT LIES WITHIN".

                          ENTERING THE CAVE IS SURE SHOT DEATH. BUT THEN, THERE ARE SOME CRAZY ONES WHO DO MEDITATION.

CLAP YOGA AND LAUGHTER YOGA

 

                         

   CLAP YOGA

❤❤❤❤❤

                                   AS PER THE ANCIENT MEDICINAL HEALING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ACUPRESSURE, JIN-SHIN-DO AND SUJOK, HUMAN HANDS HAVE POINTS WHICH WHEN PRESSED PROVIDE QUICK RELIEF FROM SEVERAL AILMENTS. CLAY YOGA WORKS REALLY WELL FOR JOINT PAIN, BLOOD PRESSURE, LUNGS AND HEART. THE TRADITION OF CLAPPING WHILE SINGING OR CHANTING BHAJANS (HYMNS) IS VERY OLD ONE IN INDIA.

HOW TO CHANGE THE FLOW OF NAADIS ? (WATER YOGA, VOCAL YOGA)

 

                                WATER, VOCAL, CLAP, 

                                AND LAUGHTER YOGA

                                                                  ❤💟❤

                                      YOGA IS CATEGORISED INTO THREE MAIN PARTS - ASANAS, PRANAYAM, DHYAN, AND SURYA MAMASKAR. THE HECTIC LIFESTYLE OF PRESENT AGE DEMANDS REGULAR EXERCISE IS IMPORTANT FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY AND MIND.

                                         WATER YOGA

                                                                  ❤💟❤

                            WATER YOGA, POPULARLY KNOWN AS HAL YOGA INVOLVES A PRACTICE OF "USHA PAAN". USHA KAAL MEANS THE TIME WHEN DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT VANISHES AND LIGHT OF THE DAY EMERGES. FOR USHA PAAN, YOU NEED TO KEEP WATER FULL OF COPPER BOWL NEAR YOUR BEAD, AND COVER IT. ON GETTING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN. SLOWLY, WITH PRACTICE TRY TO DRINK AT LEAST A GLASS FULL AND MAXIMUM FIVE GLASSESS OF WATER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO DRINK WATER IN SITTING POSITION (IN KAG ASANA OR CROW POSE) ONLY.

                       BENEFITS : DRINKING WATER EARLY IN THE MORNING HELPS ONE CLEAR THE STOOL COMPLETELY. IT HELPS IN THE PROBLEM OF CONSTIPATION AND ELEMINATES THE HEAT GENERATED IN STOMACH DURING THE NIGHT.

                    ACCORDING TO HEALTH EXPERTS, ONE MUST DRINK AT LEAST 10 TO 15 GLASSESS OF WATER IN A DAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE WATER WASHES OUT THE STOMACH AND IMPROVES FLOW OF BLOOD TO THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS. THIS BOOSTS THE IMMUNITY OF THE BODY TO FIGHT DISEASES. WATER PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN STABILIZING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BODY. IT BOOSTS THE FUNCTIONING OF KIDNEY, LUNGS, SKIN AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. CONSUMPTION OF WATER IN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT HELPS REGULAR AND EFFICIENT FLUSHING OUT OF SWEAT, URINE, STOOL AND OTHER WASTE MATERIALS. USHA PAAN IS REFERRED TO AS "AMRITPAN" IN AYURVEDA.
