Easy Meditation Method For Inviting Enlightenment

By Anmol Mehta

The vast majority of humans go through life without ever experiencing Reality beyond what the ordinary dualistic mind projects. Bound tightly by the ego-centric mind, they live their entire life stuck in mediocrity, mostly struggling for this or that, while experiencing a few fleeting joys. One of the things that I hope to accomplish in this life, is awaken in you a passion for the supreme, for the highest, and to that end, I think having an enlightenment experience or two can go a long way.

Enlightenment experiences are glimpses of that aspect of life and your being, which are beyond time, space and self. These enlightenment experiences come in infinite variety, and in addition to giving you deep insight into the true nature of reality, they also inspire you to live life at your highest potential.

Seeing the truth of singularity makes you question the nature of duality and thought, while experiencing the utter freedom of these states, makes you question the value of your attachments. So how can we go about facilitating these experiences?

Enlightenment experiences are not subject to your will. They occur when there is a shift of awareness beyond the ego-centric mind and life can be defined as an opportunity for setting the stage for such shifts to take place.

Some of the best tools for creating such a stage are without a doubt Meditation, Yoga and Pranayama (Yoga Breathing Exercises). But, in this article I want to share with you a very simple and key tip, which I have noticed through personal experience, helps create the situation that is conducive to enlightenment experiences occurring.

This simple method is that of napping. Yes that is correct, you read it fine, napping. I have noticed time and again, that when napping during the day, the phase between wakefulness and sleep invariably opens the doors to infinity.

It does not matter where you nap. On the bus to New York, on the sofa, in bed, does not matter. The key factor is for you to maintain your awareness as you drift off to sleep. If you can do this you are in for a treat. So try to remain alert as sleep comes and see what magic takes place. It is not even necessary for you to chase enlightenment experiences. Invariably we all end up napping at some stage due to whatever reason and when that happens, treat it like an opportunity to break through.

I want to mention here that you can have similar results with simple nighttime sleep as well. Although, the probability of a shift in awareness is less than napping, the phase when the ordinary wakeful mind is diminished and sleep is yet to come, is a very conducive time to penetrate the veil of the dualistic mind.

In addition, if you can develop a habit of meditating prior to sleep, this transitory phase and overnight sleep itself can become a very spiritual, precious and cherished time for you. One of the key aspects of developing this ability is discovering in which position you cannot sleep easily. You can then use that knowledge to give yourself a better opportunity to practice this technique on a nightly basis. It is well worth the effort.

Learn Simplified But Powerful Meditation in 15 Mins

By Shiyam G

Hai, this is Micky. I'm here to share my little secret that will help you to relax easily and refresh yourself in your day-to-days activities. I'm not a guru or a teacher, but a benefited person of what I ought to share with you.

Ok, here I start. Many things in our life make us tired, lazy, irritated, unhappy and so on. These things will drive-out our energy and leave us empty. This I'm sharing with you is a simple method of meditation. By practicing this you can recharge yourself and be active always.

Just sit relaxed and comfortable on floor or possibly in a chair. Just be relaxed. Close you eyes slowly, and make yourself comfortable. Now concentrate on your breathing over the nostril. You can feel the air going in and out through the nostril.

While practicing this your mind and body will completely become relaxed. If you feel sleepy, it is a indication that you need a good sleep. Be in peace and silence, that you can concentrate more on your breathing. Do not think about any thing or even not think that you are Meditating.

Now your mind will be relaxed and at ease. Just concentrate on your breathing no other thing is needed.

After a while on meditating slowly open your eyes with a relax breathing cycle (breath In and Out).

Now you are relaxed,recharged and energized with energy to run your Race, to play you Baseball match and even continue with your Martial Art coaching and with your Education.

Some may find this a little difficult concept, but remember 'Practice makes a Man Perfect' so practice just for 5 mins every morning and also whenever you like. Also don't avoid this is just a simple one. There is Wisdom in every simple thing, as Jesus explained with those Flowers and Birds.

Practice this simple way of Meditation every day, surely it'll be more helpful for your Physical & Mental health.
