Clear Your Mind Meditation
With regards to meditation – is it really possible to totally clear your mind?
If so, how does one do it.
I try and try and my mind still runs at full steam. I think I am there and then find I’m on the train of thought of “is my mind clear yet”?
(Hope I’ve out this in the right category – ’sprituality’ seemed to fit the bill’)
I’m going to assume that you are really interested in this, and take the time to answer you. Meditation is an intensely personal, internal experience, aimed at ‘quiet mind’. The objective is to silence your ‘internal dialog’, such that the ’silent watcher’ behind your thoughts can experience reality directly, unmediated by the senses.
While there are many different ways to meditate, the simplest for a beginner is the ‘counting’ meditation. Find a nice quite spot where you can stretch out and relax… the quieter and more comfortable, the better. Close your eyes, and breathe deeply and slowly, in through your nose, out through your mouth. Count each exhalation silently, in your mind. When you get to four, start over…
inhale… exhale.. (1)…
inhale… exhale.. (2)…
inhale… exhale.. (3)…
inhale… exhale.. (4)…
inhale… exhale.. (1)…
inhale… exhale.. (2)…
… etc.
As you do this, various thoughts will pop up in your mind, and you may lose track of the counting. You must gently dismiss those thoughts, and return to your task of breathing and counting… 1… 2… 3… 4…
Your subconscious does not want your mind to be silent, and so it will oppose what you are doing.
As you learn to dismiss these extraneous thoughts more easily, your mind will become more desperate, and you may start hearing auditory hallucinations… voices… strange sounds. They are not real… it is just your mind playing tricks on you. Gently dismiss them, just like the extraneous thoughts.
As your mind gets more desperate, you may experience visions… sort of like waking dreams. They will seem very interesting, fascinating, and you will want to follow them, and focus on them. Do not. Again, it will just be your mind playing tricks on you. Gently dismiss them, and return to your task of breathing and counting… 1… 2… 3… 4…
This will not all happen at once, of course. Do this once or twice a day, every day, at the same time (if possible), for 15 or 20 minutes at a time. As you gain experience, you may work up to around 30 minutes. You will find that it is very relaxing and refreshing, and that after doing it, you will feel very refreshed and alert… recharged. It may take you a few weeks… maybe even a month or two… before you are actually able to achieve ‘quiet mind’… but once you do, you will find yourself experiencing a sense of ‘connectedness’ that will blow your mind. I will not try to describe it for you… you will know it when it comes.
After you have a few months experience with this, get a book titled to ‘How To Meditate’, by Lawrence LeShan. Or, you might look up ‘how to meditate’ in Google. Also look up ’satori’ and ‘kundalini’.
You will find this to be one of most profoundly rewarding experiences of your life. Good luck.
