Meditation to conquer self- animosity
Labels: meditation
We have the bad habit to located our self under self-defeating behaviors and attitudes. We are not cultivating on a daily basis self-qualification and self- acknowledgment.
We take poor positions when it comes to face our equanimity, this non-neutral position distract us from the real gift of life: to relate to the infinity part of our self. This meditation conquers the state of self-animosity and gives us the ability to maintain a conscious support of the core self. The result is forgiveness.
How to do it.
Sit comfortable with the spine strait.
Relax the arms at the sides and raise forearms up and in so that the hands are in front of the chest at the level of the heart. Draw the hands into fist and point the thumbs straight up towards the sky. Press the fist together in such a manner that the thumbs and the fist are touching. The palms are towards each other. This meditation requires the upper torso to be held strait, without rocking back and forth. Fix the eyes at the tip of the nose.
Breath:
Inhale through the nose
Exhale completely through the mouth
Inhale deeply and smoothly through the mouth
Exhale through the nose.
Continue this circular breath for 3 to 11 minutes.
Try for 40 days, will do wanders for you !
MEDITATION TO UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY
You may think creativity is to create art, to invent or to imagine.
However the process of creativity is a function of our second chakra, physically it functions to support our reproductive system and the work of our kidneys. Creativity is related to connect ability, either to our environment or to other people. It is related to merging and understanding boundaries, and is a raw expression of new potentials. Creativity has to do as well with our vitality, our intuition and our sexuality.
For most of us winter is a season that induces theses energies to be in a dormant state until spring when they naturally re emerge. The passive aspects of this energy may create in us a feeling of being happy just to stay comfortable in our cave, eating more that we need to , and a make a lack of vitality to face the outer demands of life.
This active meditation is a simple way for you to regain that vital force and literally shake from your system the lethargy of the winter.
How to do it:
1.- Choose a safe space where you can be by yourself without interruptions.
2.- Stand up and open your arms on the side to make sure you are away from any furniture or objects you can bump into. Relax the arms on your side.
3.- Start moving your body on the spot with a shaking motion.
4.- Increase the shaking motion until all part of your body participate in the exercise.
5.- Keep shaking and involve your breath. Feel you are taking heavy molasses out of your body. Do it for 15 minutes uninterrupted. Feel free to accompany the exercise with your favorite music.
6.- Lay down and relax for 5 minutes. A nap will be ideal.

Meditation Moves
Active meditation is one of the meditations that have enlightened most people around the world. It’s a meditation so effortless, that a child can do it. Actually a child can do it better than you because he has no mind. You have done this meditation many, many, many times, especially in retreat, when we are aware of what is it we are doing.
So this meditation can be applied to three levels of existence. You can apply it in your mind, by the simple observation of your flow of thoughts. Simple observation. You can apply the meditation as well when you are observing your moods or your emotions. Or you can apply that observation to the breath. Each choice could be practiced individually or in conjunction with the others.
This meditation can be applied either sitting or in motion. We have applied it many times while sitting. Today we are going to apply it in motion. Observe your inner dialogue; either your moods, your mind or your breath, and your external dialogue; such as when you say or think “this person is looking at me, this person is very nice.”
In motion, we should have both observations.
Whatever happens it’s OK. Whatever you think, it’s OK. It’s the deepest acceptance in meditation because you really don’t need any concentration. What you need is the simple curiosity to know what is going on in your mind, in your emotions, in your breath.
Why would you want to do that? For no reason at all. If you have any reason then observe the reason. If you are alert in that way, you naturally will be guided towards the now, towards the sensibility.
Just last night I was saying, there’s so much going on in the invisible, it’s so subtle you cannot even get bored. There’s so much happening. Our agendas are also way too busy. Or we lose the boat, we lose the poetry of your existence. Don’t become like Saints, or Yogis, or Sages, or religious people, or new age people.
Become Poets
Become poets, for every single thing that you see, that you touch, is a huge, beautiful expression of love. Become lovers of the now. Poets of the now. So this meditation induces you to be sensible, (sensitive), induces you to be poets-- of your life.
So drop the politician and become a poet. Politicians have an agenda, mission, purpose, ambition. They seek fame, acknowledgment, recognition. All of you are politicians. Some are better than others.
Poets have no means, no purpose, just the simple observation of the beauty and the grace around you--and to allow that to vibrate in you. That will be the second step after the meditation.
You are so fully engaged in what you have observed that the observer becomes what you observe. Does that make sense? Are you happy you are a poet, Shawn?
Since it is a beautiful day, we are going to the park and we are going to walk in a circle so I can guide you. You are to be absolutely aware of your feet. Your eyes, should be 1/10th open, so you will be looking at the feet. You know in other meditations I say we are focusing on the tip top of the nose? OK, we’ll be focussing on the feet. And while that is happening you will observe your thoughts, your emotions, whatever comes. Relax the body.
We are meditating in motion, because I want to teach you also that meditation is not a still practice. It’s a constant movement in the now. It’s all lies if you say I meditate two hours per day and then you open your eyes and you are lost. You have not been meditating at all. You have probably put yourself in torture, trying to be still or watching something or creating an aggression.
Get used to walking in meditation, to talking in meditation, to looking in meditation, to loving in meditation. Even when you sleep you should be meditating. Meditation is not a practice, it’s a state of mind. It’s a state of perception, it’s a state of experiencing yourself, of experiencing reality.
Do you follow what I am saying? Let’s put on your shoes.... and we will go to the park.
