Would
you like to know the essential Secrets to Mastering the material world, and
transcending all suffering? Then learn how to
master your mind and meditate. There truly is no other way to
freedom than this...
 The true meditation
experience is one where you the observer/witnesser, step far
enough away from the mind
so you're able to not get hooked by the thoughts or desires passing
through it. From this detached space you are truly free. There is a
spiritual connection that is regained and a reboot on the
consciousness of who/what you are.
There's nothing you do to actually
"meditate". If you cannot focus your mind to be present for a few
minutes that is OK. It just means you have experience in
being unfocused. So practice being unfocused and simply sit
with it. Being unfocused and experience your own divine
presence. This is the doorway to enlightenment and what
transcending suffering is all about.
Learning how to quiet the mind is the experience of meditation
itself. Some would say meditation is a state of focusing the mind,
yet that is still an effort, causing a loss of energy. Meditation
is a filling up of the infinite spiritual reservoir of energy
that is at the core of your being. Finding this infinite spring of
spiritual energy is the essential foundation to self-mastery and a
profound inner peace.
When you come to quiet the mind chatter
inside, you become free from its grasp on you, and it can cannot
control you anymore. You become the master of the mind, yet
somehow do not need to control it. You simply realize that
you are not these thoughts passing through, and you give them no
more power.
The illusion of control is a wonderful one,
and when we are free from all forms of control we truly discover a
place of deep peace, power and creativity inside. The mind can
never totally be controlled, nor would we want to always be in
control of it. That's way to much work and wouldn't allow
you to really enjoy your life.
Mind mastery happens when you drop the
mind... completely. When you are free from the clutches of
your thoughts and can welcome any experience that comes your way.
Letting go of the mind doesn't mean you
don't think thoughts again, it just means you are not "buying
into" their dramatic stories. This allows you to step into a
life of bliss where manifestation of your every single desire
becomes very simple and easy.
The mind is tricky as it always
wants to hold on to what you want, and push away what you
don't want. When you are focused on what you want for long
enough periods of time, with plenty of emotion behind it, you
start to attract
that
experience into your life.
The real issue here is that the
mind tends to also have an aversion towards thoughts it cannot be
with, and then it continues trying NOT to think about these
thoughts. Whatever we resist, persists. Whatever we cannot be
with, we become.
When you become the master of your mind,
you will be able to BE OK with any thought that passes through
your mind. You will know that it's just a thought, and see it for
what it is. Fleeting energy. Living each day from this space
you'll automatically and naturally master your life.
Practice being with what is, and letting
everything be as it is. This will train and tame the mind to
truly obey you. The mind tends to rebel, wander and be
restless and thinks it needs more structure or control to attain
all the egos goals. Yet, mind mastery is just the opposite.
When you let go of control and surrender to the infinite source of
the soul that you are, you master THIS moment.

 "You need not leave
your room. Remain sitting at
your table and listen. You need not even
listen, simply wait. You need not even
wait, just learn to become quiet, still and
solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be
unmasked. It has no other choice. It will roll in
ecstasy at your feet." ~Franz Kafka

There
are basically two kinds of meditation, the traditional and the
non-traditional. Traditional meditation techniques would
include the repetition of an affirmation such as chanting a
mantra, or perhaps following your breath, gazing into a candle
flame etc. These are done for the sole purpose of training the
mind to remain more in the present moment. These techniques use a
fixed experience inside or outside the body, such as a thought or
idea, to center and still the mind.
With the non-traditional approach, anything and everything you do
can become a meditation. Walking to the bus stop, making dinner,
washing your clothes, eating, etc. Just try witnessing
the sensation of air passing in and out of your nostrils. In
any experience you can learn how to calm the mind. These everyday experiences
become meditative when you bring a mindfulness and a fullness of
your being into your experience.
The big question now is how much consciousness and
presence
can you have while you're washing the dishes? Feeling the warm
water run across your hands, the sound of scrubbing the pot, this
too can be your ticket to transcending suffering, mastering the
material world and entering meditation.
