RE: What Is Meditation by Bhante Gunarantana

in #health7 years ago

I would also say in addition to @reddust comment that in starting meditation it tends to bubble up the mind and suppressed energies. Im not familiar w the above meditation but in the meditation i do know we have to be very allowing with these energies and not have an agenda with them. Total non-judgment and always bringing the attention back to the breathe or back to itself, when we get caught in the mind or fear. Always returning to our said focus. Also i would try and start small like 5min a day and also be consistent daily. In time it is very possible to overcome anxiety ptsd or many other blockages. Just my 2 cents, goodluck.

That is good advice, meditation is not easy, even if you have a good teacher and are in retreat...there is the dark forest of the mind and good teachers are guides so one won't get lost in their head...all sorts of bliss and negativity might come up and one must just be the witness, this is not me, this is just sensation, let it go!
