Sri Vasudeva on Meditation
I love this definition of meditation and wanted to share it with you:
Quote:
These simple yet profound words to me encompass everything I know about meditation. Either I am plugged in to the universal source of energy and wisdom, or I am operating on my limited battery. |

Now that is just beautiful and so true.
Out of subconscious thought, my mind wanders every time I draw. I'm an illustrator by the way. I could sometimes get lost in a drawing for weeks. I even tanned the left portion of my body because I had to stay in a angle to a window. I find the time soothing. Like things are unraveling with each passing moment. |
That means I am Meditating 24/7 :) and I thought I am poor in meditation as I do sit with eyes closed.
Why I see a blue screen with eyes closed. It is ALWAYS there. sometimes, with open eyes, if I focus on a blank wall, I see blue hue..or at-least a blue spot is always there. What is that? Sometimes I wonder if I am living a dream..and I wake up when I go to sleep and have all wonderful messages from somewhere (maybe my inner self). |
I think people need to step back and understand he is talking from his present experience.
The first step is sitting in meditation. Let's just say mindful meditation. We are observing, thoughts, feelings, sensations flow by with out attaching to them. Or at least trying right :) As one progresses with this practice they will at first have moments in a meeting or when driving of observing/calm abiding there thoughts as they are going about there normal day to day business. Over time it builds until you reach a state of observing. In Yoga this is called The Witness, in Buddhism it is called Calm Abiding. It is something that will happen on a deep level all on it's own. Can you help it along.. sure. As you walk around the office or house pay attention to your breath. Or put your awareness within your body as you walk around and open your heart to others. I have had a lot of openings with that one. Just putting my awareness within my heart and being open to everyone around me. Feels good too and what you feel is what you are.. so think about it. :) |
And then you have my ex-guru's definition...
Meditation is perfect concentration on a perfect thing. The op's was much sweeter. :smile: |

An invitation to join me in 40 days of meditation
To meditate with an enlightened being is an opportunity to accelerate your growth. Every year Sri Vasudeva speaks about his personal transformation during a 40 day retreat held in Trinidad. The retreat is streamed live and talks are available to download (for free only on the day they were streamed). To commit myself more fully to the daily practice I will make posts here every day during the March 25th to May 5th period and invite you to join in as you wish. Here is a short introduction: Quote:
