****What is this form of meditation?****
HI Everyone :) I have been practicing meditation for the last two years! I used brainev for a while and Lifeflow meditation for a while. Then one of my friends suggested me to do meditation without any external aid! So I started doing regular meditation.
I do some pranayama prior to my meditation. And while meditating, I try to focus on "Nothingness" whilst having a mild awareness. It is not that I try to focus on nothing but rather I fix my focus on Nothingness. As if it is an object of focus. That is why it is so difficult for me to explain! I wish to know what type of meditation it is, and which category it falls under (So that I can google if I want to know more). I never try to suppress my thoughts, but when I observe that a thought is going at the back of my mind, I will bring all my focus on "Nothingness" and that focus won't allow me to observe that thought further.
Right now the key elements I am developing while meditating is focus, awareness and stability of mind. And using these elements, I am getting deeper into the nothingness. I just wanted to know Your View on this. Am I doing it right? And what will be the next step of this practice? (in terms of experience and practice)
Cheers
Subu

Re: The Way of Nothing
It can also be called Beingness.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I am on that path though thoughts are still very difficult to 'outmaneuver' if you get what I mean. Nothingness is getting easier to understand however most of the time it comes when i trance out during regular life (pretty often, even more so now that I am meditating).
Interestingly enough when i do trance out very briefly into nothingness, a peaceful very joyful feeling begins to bubble up from inside and my head feels like I smoked something or another. A meditation high I call it. sometimes however it immediately distracts me and I lose focus. It has been like this for years. But now that I understand nothingness and the entire process, its been more consistent and easier. I hope I don't sound crazy but Im very excited to see what progress I will make in the next upcoming years to come.
