RE: VLOG #11: There are a thousand different forms of meditation.
Hey gokulramdas, I am understanding that your definition would be to take the nondual state consciously into dreams and deep sleep? If that is correct then I would be an amateur meditator. I know there have been some studies done on meditators in their deep sleep and have read that tests done did show they were consciously aware....If that's true then to my way of thinking there should be whole universities set up to study such phenomenon on a full-time basis.....
I'm pretty sure someone else can come up with a better definition. To some degree I relate bring conscious to being awake. Ive never been consciously aware when Im asleep(except for the few lucid dreaming episodes), so I cant say anything about that. But it is very easy to meditate when washing dishes or going out for a walk or just listening to music. The simpler the activity the easier to meditate. There are a ton of people back home(India) who take this seriously. We call them yogis. These are the people who are devoted to life and the mechanics of existence. There are university like places where this is explored too. We call them ashrams - A community of yogis and aspiring yogis . These places have existed for 1000's of years. And they've come up with so much literature describing their findings over all these years.
