Understanding How We Behave

Meditation is one key to understand how we behave and do what we do in any given situation. It shows us that we have to get dirty with our emotions to be able to see through them and understand them. Why? Because meditation increases our awareness which in turn allows us to feel, live, and taste our emotions more fully and completely. This can give us a lot of insight into why we do the things we do and why other people do the things they do. Where out of this insight, compassion and understanding are born.

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.

Meditation practice is not intended to stop you from thinking but its purpose is to help you discover what and how you are thinking .

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.
