If your new to meditation, and you want a simple technique to use,
then this is your lucky day because you've just found one of the
best meditation techniques in the world.
If you've been meditating for a while this technique might fill in
some of the blanks for you.
so start doing the same what i m writing here because in early days i has also tried the same so many years.
.
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
count in your mind from one to four,
imagine a loud voice saying each number.
imagine the voice is louder than any other sounds.
imagine a large base drum is struck with each number.
one two three four
one two three four
one two three four.
keep counting paying attention to nothing else but the loud voice.
remember that this might be hard and seem pointless at first, but
if you just stick to it, you will find that before long your state
will change
and become very free calm and alive.
Before you begin always commit a period of time to doing the
exercise, even if it's only one minute. This is critically
important.
say in advance how long you will commit and stick to it.
If this is your first time practicing meditation, I recommend you
take one minute.
When you do this place a clock in front of you and do nothing but the
exercise until the time has elapsed.
When you do this exercise, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon.
You will all of a sudden notice that you had stopped counting
accidentally because you were distracted by something.
either a thought or something in the environment.
When this happens don't get angry at yourself, this is crucially
important. Instead you have to remind yourself of the fact that
your lapse in attention is now your opportunity to rewire your mind
to go back to the count. Each time you do this your mind is
learning a new habit. The habit of identifying thinking and
deciding to let it go for now.
The more you do this, the more you'll start to realize that you
don't need to think all the time.
Thinking less doesn't make you stupid, it makes you smarter because
your using your mind in a more conscious and powerful way.
