Meditation is just being blissful in the moment Meditation is just being blissful in the moment. When you are at complete peace in the present moment, you are already in a state of meditation. Recall any moment in your life when you have experienced extreme beauty: the sun rising suddenly from behind a mountain, or the first time you heard a lovely piece of music. Suddenly you became totally still, wordless. In the presence of the beauty you became spellbound, you couldn’t think any more. You were just silent, relaxed, in thoughtless awareness. You were completely dissolved in that beauty. That moment was meditation! After a few moments your inner chatter started again. Your mind said, “What a beautiful sunrise!” The moment the words appeared, you were out of meditation! You can either think or meditate you can never do both. Meditation is just being. It is experiencing the present moment without resistance.
The possibility to become a different conscious being is present only in human beings. Animals don’t have the potential to become enlightened, to become different conscious beings. Another thing about meditation is, being playful meditation is a big adventure. To become serious about meditation is to miss the whole point. Celebrate meditation. Simply enjoy it. Another aspect to meditation is to have patience. Don’t start worrying about the results the moment you start meditating. If you are greedy for instant results, you actually prevent the process from settling down in your system, you yourself block the whole process. Enjoy solitude. Give yourself a chance to experience your inner environment. When meditation becomes a part of you, bliss will flower naturally. |
