In Body Mediation for discontinued Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Dear Karthik,

 

I am just today beginning to write a KYTraining lesson on Be Here Now

Meditation. Since this is up on my screen I am sending the notes I have

made today.

 

You will have to stay in your body to do this. Everyone is invited to start

practicing and maybe you will have achieved a level of undertanding and

experience by the time the lesson ready.

 

This is from Buddism and from Sat Nam Rasayan and probably other paths too.

It is very basic.

 

 

MINDFULNESS is using the mind to watch the mind and not investigate the

mind.

 

One of the basic guidelines is "I know only what I feel." We use the mind to

watch and come back to our feeling sensations. Mindfulness requires and

cultivates the ability to stay focused in our sensory experiences.

 

SPACE

 

We open and hold our space by being present to what we are feeling.

 

INDIVIDUATE

 

Bring attention to one experience and feel the resistance that this

experience activates.

 

NONLINEAR EXPERIENCE

 

Feel one sensation and then add or include another and then another.

 

INCLUDE

 

The more sensations we include in our awareness, the more our awareness

expands. Our awareness spreads out until we can hold transcendental

consciousness. This is how we move into an experience of who we are. This

is also one way to experience unlimited universal consciousness.

 

NONJUDGMENT

 

We experience what we are feeling free of interpretation. We register only

our pure now experience.

 

THE PROCESS

 

Bring your attention to your left ankle, then bring your attention to right

ankle while including the sensation of your left ankle. Then bring your

attention to what you are sitting on (base of spine, sits bones, flesh,

etc.) Hold that experience while including the sensations of your left and

right ankles. Hold all of the above and include the tip of the nose. Keep

adding sensations - surface of skin, top of head, solar plexus. Allow each

area to express itself in a sensation. Include and experience all parts of

your reality including aches and pains as they come to your attention.

 

STABILIZATION happens when you can simultaneously hold all the sensations

without jumping back and forth from one to another. All the sensations will

be EQUALIZED or held with equal attention. The trick is not to

differentiate between any of the sensations. When one sensation demands and

succeeds in controlling your attention stabilization is lost. To regain

stability, begin again to include the other sensations and to equalize them.

 

THE MIND

 

Don't listen to your mind. The trick is to stay in your sensitive

experiences and not to give more attention to one thought.. Allow the

thoughts to happen. Do not resist thinking. The mind will do what it does.

 

EQUILIZATION of sensations happens by using our ability to manage our

awareness to hold the big picture. We hold our awareness in one

comprehensive subtle awareness. We do not allow ourselves to be thrown off

balance by letting our awareness being consumed by the loudest cry. We do

not lean into pains or let ourselves be distracted by specific thoughts. We

achieve balance in a multidimensional experience.

 

RELEASE RESISTANCE

 

Of course, we cannot ignore the attention getters, which we call

resistances. We feel our resistances and hold them in nonjudgment, with the

attitude that everything is perfect the wa it is. Our acceptance allows the

resistance to melt. Love invites change. Through allowing resistances, we

relax and achieve equilization.

 

MINDFUL COMTEMPLATION is about observing, witnessing and being with your

sensitive experiences. We feel what we feel. We hold our awareness in our

moment to moment multi-dimentional experiences as much as we can. Through

the experience of what is happening in the moment, we experience our being.

 

Sat Nam,
