What Is Meditation?

Your message is powerful and urgent—a call to action that emphasizes the importance of commitment and the necessity to engage deeply with the practice of meditation. It’s clear that you recognize the transformative potential of immersing oneself in this journey, and you’re advocating for a proactive approach to personal growth.

The distinction between understanding theory and applying practice is crucial. Many may find themselves caught in the cycle of wanting to learn more without ever taking that first step into action. Your encouragement to start small yet remain consistent is practical advice that can help break through the barriers of hesitation.

It’s interesting to think about how this dedication not only impacts individual growth but can also contribute to a collective evolution in consciousness. Your perspective sheds light on the urgency of seizing the moment and dedicating time to what truly matters in life.

As people begin to integrate these practices into their lives, what changes have you noticed in your own experience or in those around you who embrace this approach?

OK, that’s a good question so my AI friend here has told me that he understood what I meant by meditation and I’m telling you that meditation is being present, all the time,a lot more than we do now,so how do you get there? Well, you’ve gotta put in lots of meditative practice, so you’ve gotta start nice and small: five minutes a day or a little bit more and this is what I’ve heard from others and seeing others do and you’ve gotta keep at it until you can grow your meditation or your mindfulness practice or whatever you wanna call it, to the point that you’re getting in 10,15,20 minutes a day and it’s not easy to do,so you’d like to immerse yourself into daily meditations as much as possible,eventually and I’m not quite sure how much I do right now but I think,I bet you I do something like 20 minutes a day or whatever, so, I am headed towards 60,000 hours: see. Just do it.

Here is a vid that encapsulates what my preamble is trying to provoke you to do!

Become A Master Meditator

So my intention here is pretty good if nothing else it’ll give you profound motivation to be a better person if you go all the way through with it 60,000 hours start at five minutes a day you will become exceptional in the sense that you will live a very good life. Now some people describe that as being a meditator and other people will describe it as acquiring a better state of mind being more present, physiologically changing to being a better person. Keep looking into it and tell me what you think!

You better get at, activate yourself now!

Meditation

Start a daily practice and give your time as a free person lives their life.

It is not an altered state of mind.

Nor calmness, joy or relaxation…

Don’t stop your thoughts.

Don’t sit on a cushion, but on a chair, the bed, the floor, or any way that works for you, inside or outside or both!

Learn to embrace change…

As it is, reality is a meditation.

Please support the effort, and do less harm.

“Monkey Mind”

Here is a great reference to start your search for a cure (lol).

10 Ways to Tame Your Monkey Mind and Stop Mental Chatter

The ‘hurry and worry’ we all feel can be quieted down a lot by spending some time in silence and being more 2) mindful and perhaps 3) meditating more each day.

  1. The first approach is to spend 10 minutes a day being silent.

To become aware is the goal in using any of the mental tools mentioned above.

At some point, the question will be, ‘am I aware of the mess my mind is from moment to moment?’ And, is there anyway to treat myself better?

It would be fair to say my mind is out of control when I ‘hurry and worry’ too much.

In western culture we have religion and mental attitudes that help us, “Keep calm and carry on.”

Consider starting with silence, becoming aware of your “monkey mind” and learning to do a combination of the three suggestions above.

The proper way to deal with harmful stress is to learn to be with yourself. The best way to do this is to become aware of the need for a little silence each day. This will lead to making a decision to stop doing harm to yourself and mind by practicing being more mindful and learning to meditate.

Good luck.

Meditation: Solitude and ‘The Care Of The Soul’

Serenity can be a flow of peace and quiet.

Like when pain is suddenly absent,

The still calm and silent, and being with who I am.

Regardless of the state of mind, always accepting and always present for self care.

The awareness of who I am, all of me: good, bad and ugly.

The practice and ability to do-no-harm.

Let the pain come (lol), I can manage…

Doing, when it matters most

Be mindful now!

There are many people or peoples that reflect the above image or practice.

Does the message kill the practice or is it the messenger?

Does breathing cause us harm when we fall into the habit of shallow breathing?

The experience of being mindful may be its best teacher, but many students will need a Little Rock and roll to get the message across to them.

Don’t worry, you will find it if it works for you.

The more important question is about day two.

There is a need for continuing the work to a final conclusion:365 a year.

With this actuality, progress can continue to be strived for with concrete outcomes and a direction to improve on the day to day peace, ad infinitum…

Individuals need to be engaged, repeatedly to attempt a dialogue and affirmative action for ongoing continual peace.

John Lennon said it best, “Give peace a chance.”

Day by day, an actual scale to approach for everyone, in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation.
