Cool Your Mind
Thoughtless Awareness is one of the most amazing states of mind one can achieve. I bet you are familiar with this phenomenon more than you think.
Simple, in your meditation, this state happens naturally as your energy rises. Your attention automatically relaxes, and you are 100% in the present.
Everybody experiences it a little bit differently, but for me it works like this: I feel the cool breeze over my head which relaxes the scalp and then the brain. It is absolutely real because I cannot force it. Sometimes I feel nothing, no change, even if I really want to feel cool. It is simply a physical representation of what is going on inside my subtle system.
When I feel this cool breeze, it is incredibly enjoyable and at this point there are no thoughts in my mind. I am aware of the surroundings but I am also completely blissed out and completely relaxed. And if I am fortunate enough to keep this state for several minutes I feel like I am charged with tremendous powers and billions of watts of Energy! In fact, it’s like the most healthy, powerful and awesome drug you could ever take.
How To Meditate ?
What you need:10-15 minutes of uninterrupted time
A quiet spot
The desire to meditate
Start by making sure you are sitting in a comfortable position. You can sit crossed legged on the floor or on a seat with your feet apart, soles on the ground. Placing the hands on your knees, palms facing upwards allows the cool breeze to start flowing in your palms and through your body. (Don’t worry if this doesn’t happen immediately, for some people it takes a while to achieve this state, but with perseverance you will get there.)
If you feel heat or tingling on the left or right palm, use the left and right side clearing techniques to counteract this. Meditation is achieved more easily when you are not feeling heat on the left or right channel, when you feel cool on both palms, meaning you are in balance.
Another useful technique is to focus your attention from the bottom of your spine and trail it to the top of your head several times finally leavi and the last time I leave my attention on top of my head. This allows you to settle into the quiet space above your head. This space, above your thoughts, your worries and anxieties, is a place where mental silence can be felt.
Sometimes I cannot reach this state but I just keep my attention there and slowly I can feel myself and my thoughts slowing down and I become more peaceful.
