Meditation


What is meditation?

The German or English word "meditation" says nothing. When you say the word "meditation," many people imagine someone sitting cross-legged, with their eyes closed, and their hand position shifted. However, a person in this posture can do many things. Maybe he's thinking about his wife, or how to get more money, get over an illness, etc.

In countries like India, when you say "I meditate," you mean Shoonya, Dhyana, Japa, Kundalini, Kriya meditation, or any other form of meditation that you might practice. You can say much more precisely what you are doing. Each of these meditations brings you to very specific insights or experiences.

Closing your eyes while changing hand positions and sitting doesn't mean much if you don't know what you're doing.

Unknown land should be entered with a guide and meditation is like an unknown land, that's why there are e.g. in India - gurus, in Tibet - Dalai Lamas, in

China - masters, in Peru - shamans, in these areas, who help the students to find their way in this new terrain.

The student has to walk every meter himself, the teacher can only be a signpost showing how to walk on this path and in which direction, so that one goes forward and not backwards.


Meditation is a state of meditative being

It is not possible to meditate, either you are meditative or you are not. Meditation is a state of being. We say meditate to express ourselves verbally, since most languages cannot be more specific, but meditation is a state of being.

I anticipate what meditation is about so that you can better understand what to look for in order to achieve the meditative state. It's about becoming a witness and pulsating with life so that new dimensions can open up to people.

How does meditation work?

The human body is like an anchor in the present. When you get very sick you notice every thought and you don't think about what you're going to do in 2 weeks, or in a year. The illness and the body bring you back to the present.

One must take care of the body at this moment.

But when we're not sick, we're already planning ahead in our heads for the next 10 years. We become arrogant and believe that we are safe to live in 10 years. We don't live intensely but on the back burner because we know we should manage our energies wisely because we will live a long time.

In meditation one does not try to stop thinking, but one is absolutely aware of one's thoughts with the sharp blade of one's absolute attention. It's a state of consciousness. You hear, feel, see, your thoughts without judging and without actively stimulating your thoughts further. There are also other altered states of consciousness with which one works with one's life energy (eg known as Chi-Gong in China, or Reiki in Japan).

In Kriya Yoga (in one of its forms) e.g. B. One concentrates on the point between the two eyebrows. Thoughts come and go, but you keep a light focus on this point all the time.

How to hold your hands, how to sit properly, and most importantly, keeping your back straight are all things that you absolutely must consider.

Three things happen through meditation:

    One feels one's body, after a while like a glimpse of awareness, like looking at the body from the inside. The body becomes light. This has to be experienced, reading about it can give one little understanding of what is going on.


You simply exist without a lot of noise in your head, in other words, you hardly have any thoughts buzzing around in your head, you don't make any judgments about things you see with your eyes, for example "this flower is beautiful or ugly". After a while, you catch yourself having strange thoughts. So funny that you can no longer identify with the thoughts. Should one get that far, then a distance sets in between what is thought, the thinker and the one who becomes the witness. Identification with thoughts comes to an end.

2. The next step is to stop identifying with the feelings.

3. And then the end of identification with the body.

What comes after these three events is the end of suffering and absolute freedom.


How to become a meditator

There are many different methods of reaching this meditative state of being and becoming meditation. This text is just an attempt to put into words the unspeakable. But everyone is capable of experiencing these things themselves.


What are the benefits of meditation?

Living on the back burner is the wrong attitude. Just observing life and not participating in it is also the wrong attitude. Unfortunately, there are many meditators who understand this as being meditative.

There is a big difference between being an observer and being a witness. As an observer you do not participate in what is happening in front of you, as a witness you are right in the middle.

Because of people who become active observers and don't have a full understanding of meditation but go around teaching everyone how to meditate, we have this concept of people who are aloof and don't want to participate in life anymore.

When you are in the meditative state of being, you perceive everything and live 100%. You go out and you are outside of the imagined world, out of your head, you then live in this world.

boredom disappears. Energy and creativity are created within the body and are available.

Worrying for hours or putting yourself on the roller coaster of negative emotions will be a thing of the past. What makes no sense in life is dropped more quickly and what makes sense is done and no longer put off.

Meditation is the state in which one experiences the world and not just imagines it.

At the same time, the increased ability to concentrate gives you access to more resources in the brain, i.e. the "brain power" increases and you become more efficient, mentally and physically.

You open a dimension within yourself and experience yourself and the world like never before.

 

Yoga

What exactly is yoga?

Yoga means “oneness” (English → unison). In the West, people understand it to mean putting the body in positions that look very painful, and knotting and twisting, stretching, stretching, and now in the West, yoga includes things that have nothing to do with yoga and were made for those things also invented names with the word "yoga" built into them. Nevertheless, it has nothing to do with yoga.

Yoga leads to the meditative state of being and is part of meditation, many yoga teachers unfortunately do not know that.

Pranayama Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Kundalini Shakti are just a few examples of types of yoga that have not become as popular in the West because it has not been understood how it evolves people. In some cases the value has been recognized but there was no one to properly teach it and so many have harmed their health (mental and physical) by using books and the internet to copy the exercises.

Hatha yoga is one of the most popular forms of yoga in the West. In hatha yoga, for example, there are asanas (postures) that you adopt with your body to make your body stronger and healthier. However, these side effects are welcome by-products of hatha yoga, in fact the meditative state is achieved here too, which is the goal of all types of yoga.

Yoga is meditation, it is oneness.
