Effortless Meditation

May this new year bring new happiness, new goals, new achievements, and a lot of new.

Today we talk about our minds. The mind can be an enemy if not train properly or can be a best friend when train properly. Monkey mind or mind monkey, from Chinese xinyuan and Sino-Japanese shin'en 心猿 [lit. "heart-/mind-monkey"], is a Buddhist term meaning "unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconstant; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable.

You see, my friend, the best way to explain our mind's relationship is like a parent and child relationship. This relationship is base on love.

When the child does not obey, we apply pressure or show authority; we listen, reason, talk, and convince. With excessive force and pressure, the child may obey us, but our relationship with our kid is gone. The intention of being understanding, loving, and compassionate is to destroy.

That is why we need to be aware and mindful and be present in each moment. That is why we do our meditation to train our minds.

James Baldwin reflected: “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”

The journey to home starts with our daily meditation.  Simply, a trip to the inner self where you feel at home, relax, focus, and aware. 

Today, all of us are coming home! We feel relaxed and comfortable as our world and life get noisy, questionable, and foggy.

The journey to coming home starts with our daily meditation, With our intention, With our awareness, With our open heart and mind.

Our daily pause, our deep breathing, concentration, and relaxation, and our daily realignment.

Be sure to send me your feedback about today's experience. Let me know if this homecoming makes sense to you or not?

In this episode, we meditate in front of our minds' mirror to know ourselves better and connect with ourselves.  To love ourselves. 

Yes, everything, and everyone is your mirror. This is the greatest of all secrets and the only one you need to understand to transform your life.

Every single person in your life is your mirror. They reflect parts of your own consciousness to you. In this episode, we meditate in front of our mind mirror to know ourselves better and connect with ourselves.  

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -

MLK said it beautifully. 

We are on the eve of his day. Let’s celebrate his birth. Let’s love, patient, and mindfulness fill our hearts and mind today. We need it to heal the hate in America and the world, my friends. I hope this session helps you with the current feeling. I hope this meditation calms you down. Our love and undressing will merge and cove the darkness.

I try to simplify the concept by easy example in this meditation. If you are struggling to keep your focus in your meditation, this session helps you greatly. Please remember meditation practice will train your mind mussels and your attention span will increase after awhile. 

 Mindfulness means living in the moment and being fully aware of our inner and outer experiences. When you are mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a distance, without judging them as good or bad.

Not being mindful is costly. More than 25 years of research reveals that mindlessness may be very costly to people. In these studies, researchers have found that an increase in mindfulness results in an increase in competence, health and longevity, positive affect, creativity, charisma, and reduced burnout, to name a few of the findings.

You asked: Do you need to believe in Buddhism to meditate?

Not at all, my friends. You see, meditation is a process of knowing yourself and your world.

Mindfulness is a tool and technics to discover yourself. Think of it as meditation is a gym, and mindfulness is the weights and equipment to exercise to build up your mind’s mussel. To cultivate your mind to know yourself, to learn your surrounding, to know the purpose of your being.

Working out to be mindful should be your way of life. If you do it to be cool, to be sexy, or to act as a holy man or women,

You are mindless. It is ok to begin your meditation practice this way, but you must relinquish them sooner or later to find your true self.

Imagine you are in front of a large mirror.

But hardly you can see yourself.

You see a thick layer of dust sat over the mirror.

With bear hands, you start to push away the dust.

You ask your self

Am I the reflection in the mirror

Or

Am I all this dust

Dust of self-doubt

Dust of dishonesty

Dust of hatred

Dust of material attachment

Dust of lousy intention, greed, envy, and revenge

So, if you like to see

If you like to know

If you like to understand

Yourself

Keep cleaning the mirror.

Please do it for yourself

Do it to train your mind

Sometimes, we get stuck. We become hooked on a problem or issue, and it seems unable to be happy or at peace. We find ourselves looping back to this issue repeatedly, rehearsing conversations; we berate and condemn ourselves for not doing things differently.

We’re anxious, angry, frustrated, fearful, or sad. This meditation helps you to overcome this situation. To be happy and accept love and kindness. 

We love to hear from you; please help other listeners by expressing your feeling after this meditation.  Please visit us for your message, support, and additional information. Your review and comments are appreciated. 

When you are so full of sorrow that you can't walk, can't cry anymore, think about the green foliage that sparkles after the rain. When the daylight exhausts you when you hope a final night will cover the world, think about the awakening of a young child. by Khayyam

In this meditation, we reflect on how to be happy and break our bad habits. It is up to you to dedicate the time and make the necessary efforts towards your goals. So say to yourself, “I intend to relax, be accepting of life as it comes, break bad habits and create new helpful ones, and be open to learning new things, always being genuinely happy.”

You are fully capable of relaxing at any time you need to, allowing for life to come as it does, accepting the moments that are challenging as well as those that are pushing you quickly towards your goals.

When you feel a moment of tension come, the way you instantly relax is to take a big, deep breath and focus only on that breath when you do so.

Allow nothing else to matter except your breath, and if you do this correctly, you will instantly feel more relaxed.
