Stop the mind: Could it be? Section 3
How to exploit the physical body as a means to access the current Zone? That is by realizing it. Is not it when we are daydreaming we do not seem to have a body in the sense of not feeling the existence of our bodies? Is not it while you are waiting tormented because you are "torn into two" ie your body here and your mind "there"? Is not while on the way you do not feel the journey away when you are engrossed in conversation with your friends next to you? Yes you are in dire need of this moment. The way it is when we realize our body then our mind will be here, be where the body is. We can do it any time, anytime, anywhere. For example when a shower realize every splash of water about your skin. When drinking coffee be aware of every drop of coffee that goes into your mouth. When walking realize your footsteps. Very simple. Any chance to access the current zone immediately realize your body.
So there is anecdotes when we want to know if we are dreaming what not yes we just pinch our body.
In addition to feeling the existence of the body, very good also if you are aware of every movement of your body. Because the movement is very effective to draw the mind to be in the moment. One of the usual things I do is to perform a spontaneous dance with very slow motion while I enjoy every movement of my body. In this spontaneous dance I activate my body's intelligence to move by itself following the "natural energy" that drives. I still only, follow the course and just realized it.
Well if you do not know how to make your body move alone yes no problem. Just do dance moves with full awareness and enjoy every moment. I call this a motion meditation. Build a full awareness of the present with the movement.
Now specifically for those of you who are Muslims then pray is an example of motion meditation. Try your attention. When the position of silence there is a tendency the mind can "become wild" even though the mouth read the sentence reading verses. Well not when our bodies move we immediately realized again that this time ssya is praying?
So, actually prayers also teach about meyadari this time. The power of accessing today is the key khusyu 'in prayer. Lha how to khusyu 'if your mind to PAST or FUTURE, to the later or earlier? Let's ponder this.
Another way that you can use to access this moment is to feel the exit and enter her breath. Breath is an activity that involves gestures that we are rarely aware of. Even maybe before you read this paragraph you are not aware of your breath. Breath as one of the core of life is rarely realized.
Well practice? When your mind jumps up and down, realize every pull and breath you. Do not set. Let the flow of breath take place naturally. Position you as a passive observer over your breath. Avoid concentration as well. Just relax and enjoy your breath. Blending with the flow of breath will make us unconcerned with the one second that passed and do not care about one second in the future. Breath keeps us at PRESENT!
Well up to the end of this section there may be a question in your mind: "What does the current zone relate to spirituality?" Very closely friends. Why? GOD ALWAYS HERE WITH US NOW!
Why do we feel God is so far from us? Because our mind always travels to FUTURE and to PAST. I venture to make a statement here that "You will not find God in PAST and FUTURE". God is always here, now! Remember that God is free from time. If you have the perception that God can only be encountered later then you have put God into space and time.
Remember that for God all that has and will happen is lasting now. I repeat that I have said above, the secret khusu 'in worship is diving
and enjoy the moment.
When your mind "stops" then you will feel peace because in essence you "meet God".
May be useful.
