Discovering the patterns of your mind

When you meditate, sitting quietly, trying to focus, on your meditation anchor you start to notice what takes you away from your point of focus. Generally, this is a thought of some kind or another. Meditation practice is not intended to stop you from thinking but its purpose is to help you discover what and how you are thinking.

Recreating Your Own Life

Everything has causes and effects, and that only understanding such causes and that nothing is unchanging can yield to spiritual freedom. Envisioning this death and rebirth can lead to liberation and serves us as an exercise to rehearse how the mind shapes our reality, embodiment and environment.  Such that realising that nothing is permanent and everything is changing has the power to awaken within us our ability to recreate our lives moment by moment.

Can I meditate if I have a breathing problem?

You can still meditate if you have a breathing problem. Remember that  meditation is not about the breath . It’s about familiarizing yourself with your own mind it’s about  awareness  and the  cultivation of mindfulness . To do this in meditation, we use what’s called a  meditation anchor  so that whenever the mind wanders, we have something to bring it back too.  An anchor can be a mantra, the body, sounds or an image it’s a point of focus to which you return when your mind wanders. Remember that meditation is not about what anchor you use.   But the anchor is simply there to remind us that no matter how many times or for how long your mind wonders the anchor is there in meditation as a reference to which we bring the mind back to the present moment over and over again.
