How to begin meditation as a life journey?

October 28th, 2009

Question: I prefer life journey meditation instead of quick and easy meditation. How can I do this? Please help.

Understanding of life and life cycle is part of learning in meditation. In order to treat it as a life journey, we have to combine the east and west meditation techniques.

Perspective of life is often one of the main factor people fall deep into emotional traps in life. This happens when ones keep revolving certain problems in life in a circle by feeling trap in the problem itself.

The first principle of life understanding is to lead life as it is. There is no right or wrong in our life journey. You and I, we are just a drop of water in the ocean. As such, most importantly life does not revolve around each of us and we are just part of the universe. This may sound philosophical but how to understand and experience this statement?

There are quick and easy meditation or west methods that can help you to experience the vast universe. A lot of people know how to use meditation for relaxation but how about using these techniques as an experience towards meditative state, the feeling of part of the vast of not only this world but the whole universe?

Have you ever wonder why you are feeling the vibration and hollowness in you while you are doing Om Meditation? Or are you feeling that you are not the one breathing in yoga breathing meditation? Have you ever experience the feelings that cannot be express in words?

This is the miracle, the gift in human being on searching the right foot.

Perfectionist, are you or are you not?

October 22nd, 2009

Question: I work in a corporate and I am a perfectionist in work. I believe I am a perfectionist in life as well, as I am living exquisitely. Why do I feel something is struggling inside me?

There is no real perfectionist worker in this world

You are working in a corporate and there is no perfection in corporate, why? Let me tell you a story:
“Gary is a manager in his early thirties. He works very hard to become what he is today. He is also a perfectionist and has a very positive attitude in his job. He is the perfect young manager that everybody envied and of course he is very pleased with himself too. Being a perfectionist himself, he is demanded to be presentable in front of the directors and VP. So whenever, when the one of the director or VP is in the office he has to stay back to show that he is presentable by working hard.”

Well, this is a very typical example of a working corporate life. Do you think Gary is having a perfect life while he cannot even decide when he decides to go off at work? Do you think he has a final say in his work in such case? Do you think he is still a perfectionist?

A real perfect person should only do what he really likes and for himself. If you cannot even lead your own life then you will feel something is missing sooner or later because deep down inside you know that something is wrong. Having a perfect life does not mean to have all the precious expensive things but a life that you really want, your life purpose in this world. Life has only one chance and you live for only once, even if you go to another cycle of reincarnation it is not you anymore, do you know how precious you are in this world?

Think about this. You are probably a graduate from a reputable university and had spent almost one third of your life in studying, then another one third now that I am pretty sure that you are struggling to be a perfectionist. As a child or teenager, you do not have a chance to choose what you really want but at least stand up and take over your life at this second stage of life. Living blindly is not taking you anywhere.

What is your purpose in life? Now, there is nothing to hold you back, what do you really want in your life? Find your own key.

A master say, “Everybody will arrive at the same, you may be taking a shorter or longer route but wisdom is the only key.”

Difficulty to re-enter into meditative state

October 15th, 2009

Question: Due to constant medication on depression and unbalance lifestyle, I have come to learn that quick and easy meditation helps in my condition. I started meditation, two weeks ago and it went on well but I cannot goes into meditative state for the second time. Please help.

After understanding about meditative state, it is pretty easy to experience the condition and meditate. There are only two types of people, one who can practice meditation quietly for example passive meditation, while some needs active meditation like running.

You are successful the first time in passive meditation because you are so desperately need the rest which you have not taste before in your whole life, your whole body has taken over your mind. This is good, very good for a first timer.

However, on the other hand, when you do the meditation on the second time, you have some expectations, you are comparing the experience on first and the second time, you wanted to taste more by comparing the state that you are in. With comparison, the ego kicks in. Hence, the mind is also there.

What I can suggest to you is, try to do a second type of meditation, if you are doing passive previously try Om, Reiki or even Yoga breathing meditation.

But do remember, eventually these are only relaxing meditation techniques, to really combat your depression, deep profound understanding of life via meditation is needed as well.

How to eliminate negative feelings?

October 3rd, 2009

Question: I always have this negative feeling inside me feeling sad and angry when the thing or the person does not go my way. It happens very often, can you help?

You are expecting people and things to go your way every time because you have hope and expectations for them. You have to understand that things and people are not within your control. Every single object in this earth belongs to the universe and it has it’s own natural way to take care of them.

When you think you are angry, you are not. The ego is hurting, not you. As long as ego exists, you will lose your cool in every single encounter.

 Try to watch the sadness or angriness when they exist,  be aware when the ego starts to take over you. Slowly, you will be able to identify that without the ego, you are still there and ego is just purely nothingness.
