Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Sat Nam Gian, "Brad is saying that the whole meditation will be wahe guru and the thoughts will float off before I even realize that they are there." - Thats pretty much it....

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 I went to a 3 day Vipassina meditation retreat last year. I found the labeling of thoughts as they came up very helpful in terms of self understanding. I tend to be a radio addict (esp right after Sept 11) and recognized this as a way to avoid my own thoughts. Last winter I took a weekend break from all media to look into this. When I watched and labeled my own thoughts I realized why I wanted to avoid my own thoughts and how much I was dwelling on thoughts of "fear" and "doubt". Once I realized that I could consciously examine and alter what I was doing with my mind. I also realized from Vipassana techniques how I used thoughts to cover up my feelings by automatically transferring uncomfortable feelings into thoughts. Once I got that I was more capable a feeling those feelings instead of covering them up with thoughts (little drama scenes acted out repetitively). I had a good weeping session once the feelings had room to come up. I felt cleansed. Anyway, I found the process of labeling thoughts very helpful in terms understanding the workings of my mind, getting in touch with my witness self and letting the thoughts go.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Sat Nam Devinderjit, I concurr. While I seldom use it in meditation, the waking mind is different and is subject to all of the traps and trash of our ego/minds. For me observing keeps me centered, I feel much more peaceful.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2002 Report Share Posted June 24, 2002 Actually the controllers are back. :+) However, please post your experience for the group. We are all trying to get to the same deep inner space. I often say that Vipassana is where we all want to get. The practice of KY helps us get there. When the body is aligned and alert, the mind is more alert and it is much easier to get into those deep states. I think these two practices are complementary.
