Most of us don’t feel in sync
with the idea of sitting softly with a bare mind. For most of us the idea of
evacuating our minds with any thought seems frightening, and seemingly
impossible. If fact, this idea is often a blockade to any attempts to meditate
or try exercises that advocate mindfulness. We are so absorbed in our own nests
that attempts to see the world beyond it don’t really get our complete
conscience working for it.
What often happens when you embark
on to focus your thoughts, say on your breathing pattern or on a specific, and
imaginary, point of light, is that you discover you are over and over again
distracted and running off with stampeding thoughts. This is not something out
of the world; it happens during the initial phases of our mind’s conditioning
to know beyond what lays ahead our eyes. Distraction, in such settings, is not
something that should deter you; distraction is the rule of the thumb which
just signifies that you have stepped rightly on the voyage ahead. No one discovered God Particle without just like that.
The process of attempting to
focus awareness and realizing that you are barking up wrong tree is priceless. At
first this may seem a simple eye-opener, but progressively realizing that your
thoughts do not denote your eternal self can be liberating. When you discover
that thoughts navigate in a ceaseless flow, you can make choices about how you
relate to these thoughts. It would,
solely, depend on you to choose the thoughts which you consider to be allies in
your quest to self-realization. Which thoughts will you let pass by in a blink? Which thoughts do you want to maneuver? Which
thoughts are just fillers? Which thoughts carry keys to the bigger expeditions?
Mindfulness is not about suppressing
your thoughts; its about holding a command over what enters your mind and what
remains there. Make every moment a saga of conscientious awareness and you
would witness abundant glorious patterns breathing frantically. Life is an
awesome experience; you have the tools and you have the time – knowing the
technique can bring a sea change in your perception of the inner world and the
outer world.
