Tags: : #🗺️ Links:: [[🏠 My Home]] # Meditation MOC Beginning any meditation session you need three things: - Right centering: center your body so you are in balance. Sit down. Balance your body. Lower your shoulders. Open yourself. Breath through your abdomen. Like a martial artist find the optimal grip between stability and flexibility. The art is to be relaxed but tense in the perfect mix. Yin and Yang. - Right attention: Focus your attention on the breadth. When your mind wanders elsewhere label the thought with an ING word and return your attention to the breadth. - Right attitude: See meditation [[Meditation is like training a puppy dog|like training a puppy dog]]. ## What Is Meditation About? [[Meditation is about seeing ON your frames of the world]] ## Attitude For Meditation Practice: - [[Meditation isn’t isolated to the meditation practice.]] - Meditation requires curiosity. What is your mind feeling and thinking? Are there any patterns? - [[Meditation is like training a puppy dog]] - Be as still as a mountain, but as alert as a warrior. ## Don't Practice Meditation When: Don't practice right before going to sleep, right after eating, or after listening to music or a movie. If you do it right before sleep, you will fall asleep. ## Types of Meditation ### Humility Wonder Practice You root yourself using the previous practice for two minutes. Then put your hand over your heart and say four sentences: 1. How much don't I know about myself because of the facts? 2. How much am I unable to see about the world because of fate? 3. How much can I not see in myself because of foolishness? 4. How much can I not see about myself because of my faults? Then you say it again with open hands but apply it to the world. If we just did this humility practice it would be humiliating. So we follow it with a wonder practice. You breathe in to expand to the world and out to contract the world for a few minutes trying to adopt a feeling of incredible wonder. Than you adopt a feeling of reciprocal opening. Moving your hands in a wheeling fashion in front of you. As you change the world changes allowing you to see the world differently. ## Related MOCs ```dataview list from #🗺️ and [[]] and !outgoing([[]]) sort file.mtime desc ``` ## Related Concepts ```dataview table Status from [[]] and !outgoing([[]]) and !#🗺️ sort file.mtime desc ```
