meditation methods

[Guest guest]

Dear Paresh,

 

We all seem to want to do the "right" thing, especially when it

comes to something as important and crucial as spiritual growth. I've

been studying and teaching KY for over 10 years, which doesn't make me

an expert, since I don't consider anyone an expert, but I can share my

experiences. (I believe only you can be an expert in knowing your own

body and its energies.)

 

Olympia believes that there is no better way to start KY than with

meditation on the tip of one's nose. That is her experience. I have a

different experience. Mine is that I can meditate anywhere, any time,

with or without a mantra, in any position. We all have different

experiences.

 

Sometimes I find that I can learn something by doing meditation,

even when I feel uncomfortable doing it. At other times, I learn

infinitely more doing what feels most comfortable. It probably depends

on what else is going on in my life. It can be simple, it can be very

complex. It depends.

 

My methods are based on the belief that only I can be the one to

decide. Others are there, not to instruct me, but to share their own

experiences with me. Sometimes theirs apply, sometimes not.

 

But of one thing I feel quite certain: there is no "one fits all"

solution. May I suggest that you compare and contrast as many of

others' experiences as possible? I'd start by looking at as many books

on KY as possible. (And I certainly wouldn't stop at KY! Although it's

been my experience that it is, indeed, "the best." But you may be

different. Nevertheless, there are infinitely more KY's than books on

the subject, that's for sure. They barely scratch the surface. Not to

mention the diversity of different approaches from different "masters."

Most of whom change their minds, to boot. And if you're not changing

your mind, you don't have one! You wouldn't argue with that, would

you?)

 

love
