“Meditation” can cover a broad spectrum of particularities.
To some,
Meditation is accomplished when in a reverie …
just by being in a garden or out in nature.
It can also be when you simply
put your monkey minds thoughts away and just…
Be.
You can just ‘Be’ while riding a bike, swimming, kayaking, hiking…
There are many types of ‘walking meditations.’
There are ‘meditations’ just to reduce stress and or anxieties…
However,
The only one and only True ‘meditation’ practice
worth practicing for the rest of your life…
is one in which one intends to take it to
the full fruition of Enlightenment.
This Ultimate Awakening
will offer the earnest aspirant all the benefits
of every imaginable type of meditation.
At first,
It’s true…
Concentration is the first part.
There are basically ‘3 pillars’ or areas of … ‘the Practice’.
Spiritual philosophy… includes a bit of Buddhist phycology…
These are the things that one can learn with the conventional thinking mind.
Meditation – With the intention of training your mind to become ‘one-pointed’…
To stay focused with the intended ‘object’ of meditation….
Typically the breath.
Insight meditation – one Transcends the ego and goes beyond the mind.
After many months or years…
the strong effort and diligence of focused concentration….
Will eventually transcend to an ‘effortless’ flow.
These ‘flow’ states,
often called Jhana
is when one starts to ‘let go’ and surrender the materialist
‘object’ of meditation…
And then
Flow and float away with the ‘objectless’ object of meditation.
This is somewhat like…
The feeling of love, joy, bliss, some raptures…
Once this occurs,
There seems to be no effort required.
There is also no thinking going on…
And,
All references to there being a ‘self’
that we are all born and reinforced to be this imaginary ‘self’
that we refer to ourselves as being… “Us”…
This mis-perception no longer is experienced.
Taken deeper…
One becomes
“Self-Realized”. … our higher ‘Self’.
This is the only form of meditation worth investing the rest your days with.
The Buddha advises:
“by any skillful means”…
Which means,
Any way and or any tradition or combination of all traditions…
That brings you to these ‘Insights’
found in the deepest forms of meditation…
It will take you to the highest states of consciousness
a human can experience.
