Guided Meditation Using An Anchor Of Attention

 

We go through the critical elements for the development of mindfulness in this sitting meditation session. Through first picking our chosen point of focus for directing our attention as an anchor for our mindfulness practice.

Then, if we find our mind drifting away from the anchor, kindly guiding it back to it, no matter how many times it has done so. We also discuss the notion of proper focus in mindfulness meditation.

We'll go through the stages of settling, grounding, and resting in this mindfulness session. After that, we gently rest our attention on our preferred anchor, with the purpose of this exercise being to note when we lose awareness of our point of focus and gently bring it back into our attention.

While reminding ourselves that the act of recognizing a wandering mind or that we are caught in compulsive thoughts is a moment of mindfulness, the recognition of a momentary lap of awareness within itself.

Meditation is More Than "Just Sitting"

When in mediation practice, we use the phrase “Just sit”.  It does not mean to sit passively and do nothing.  It is sitting with an Equanimeous stance based on deepening both your intellectual and experiential understanding of your existence.  It is an endeavour at deepening of our understanding of how our cravings, desires and attachment to material objects can be the roots of our sufferings.

Cracking the Ice of Delusion

The highest expression of our human nature is arrived through the purification of our minds.  This is the purpose of the practice of meditation through the use of an anchor of attention . Our mind is by nature comparable to a clear sky, the thoughts in our mind are compared the clouds. To clear away the clouds in meditation whenever you notice that your mind is lost in thought you acknowledged that and return back to your anchor of attention and the sky like nature of mind. With time and practice, this clearing away of the clouds results in the breaking of the sheets of snow and ice that we are encased in or the breaking up of our delusions and our habitual patterns of reactivity.
