Meditasi Sebagai Jalan Menuju Ilmu Pengetahuan

2009-10-11T21:07:00.001+07:00

Meditasi adalah sebuah ilmu pengetahuan yang tak ternilai dan terbukti dapat mengoptimalkan kesehatan dan meningkatkan kualitas kehidupan seseorang. Tidak hanya meningkatkan kesehatan fisik, tetapi juga meningkatkan keseimbangan emosional dan kesejahteraan psikis. Ada banyak jenis meditasi dan dalam artikel ini kita akan menjelajahi yang terpopuler dari Teknik Meditasi Konsentrasi.

Teknik Meditasi Konsentrasi:

Ini mungkin yang paling umum dan hamper semua orang juga mengetahui. Meditasi ditentukan oleh jenis-jenis meditasi ini secara eksklusif. Mereka sangat erat terkait dengan Teknik-Teknik Meditasi Insight, dengan perbedaan bahwa Teknik Meditasi insight menggunakan kecerdasan dan kearifan, sementara teknik Meditasi Konsentrasi menggunakan kekuatan fokus perhatian pada tingkat yang lebih besar. Sampai batas tertentu meditasi tersebut menjadi dasar bagi Meditasi Insight yang membutuhkan konsentrasi tinggi.

1. Meditasi dengan teknik Nafas(zazen):

Jantung Zen Meditasi adalah zazen, meditasi Sang Buddha. Dalam meditasi ini, kesadaran dan konsentrasi dibawa ke proses pernapasan untuk membantu membangun penguasaan atas pikiran dan membebaskan sistem dari pemikiran dualistik.

Untuk praktek zazen dapat dicontohkan dengan mengambil posisi duduk dan kemudian mulai menghitung aliran nafas. Menghitung tiap tarikan dan hembusan napas mulai dari satu sampai sepuluh. Jadi, sebuah inhalasi adalah satu, napas berikutnya dua, dan seterusnya. Ketika seseorang mencapai hitungan sepuluh, kembalilah ke satu dan mulai menghitung lagi. Ini membantu memfokuskan pikiran dan mencegahnya dari terombang-ambing tanpa henti dari satu pikiran yang lain.

Sebagai salah satu mengembangkan kemampuan seseorang untuk menghitung tanpa gangguan dari satu sampai sepuluh, satu mulai menghitung setiap napas siklus, bukannya menghisap dan menghembuskan napas secara terpisah. Jadi sekarang satu hitungan menarik nafas dan menghembuskan napas sebagai salah satu hitungan lagi, lengkap berikutnya napas sebagai dua dan seterusnya sampai satu sampai sepuluh. Setelah mencapai sepuluh, kembalilah ke satu lagi dan anda telah bermeditasi.

Dalam bentuk lanjutan zazen. Dalam bentuk lain cara menghitung tidak digunakan sama sekali dan hanya menggunakan nafas yang dipertahankan. Orang tidak boleh maju ke tingkat ini sampai menguasai teknik zazen sebelumnya.
Zazen atau meditasi dengan teknik napas membantu mengembangkan kekuatan konsentrasi terfokus dan menciptakan pikiran yang tenang, damai mampu menembus tabir pemikiran dualistik.

2. Napas lain berbasis meditasi Vipassana:

Dalam Vipassana satu memperluas kesadaran seseorang dari satu nafas, untuk tubuh dan merasakan sensasi yang naik dan turun di dalamnya. Tujuannya adalah memiliki wawasan mengenai pikiran anda sendiri dengan mengamati paa yang terjadi didalam pikiran anda. Bentuk meditasi ini juga disebut Insight Meditasi karena membantu mengembangkan kekuatan konsentrasi kita

3. Meditasi menggunakan obyek sebagai media konsentrasi:

Ada banyak cara meditasi yang dapat digunakan untuk obyek eksternal sebagai titik fokus pikiran. Zazen dan Vipassana termasuk dalam bagian ini juga, tetapi karena mereka digunakan secara luas Aku menyebut mereka secara terpisah.

Objek fokus bisa apa saja dari suatu titik di langit-langit, ke sebuah bunga, untuk suara eksternal dalam lingkungan. Renungan ini semua mengembangkan fokus, konsentrasi, pengetahuan diri, ketenangan dan kesadaran.
Beberapa contoh dari meditasi ini adalah dengan menatap nyala lilin (Trataka). Meditasi kedua menggunakan modal pengertian untuk mencapai tujuan dari meditasi konsentrasi.

Jadi Anda membaca dari atas ada banyak jenis teknik meditasi yang membutuhkan konsentrasi. Ini memungkinkan seseorang untuk memilih tipe yang paling sesuai untuk kepribadian dan disposisi. Cara terbaik untuk menemukan manfaat besar dari meditasi adalah untuk melompat masuk dan mencobanya.

DUA TINGKATAN DALAM MEDITASI (Meditation Buddhis)

2009-10-09T21:48:00.000+07:00

Penjelasan meditasi seperti apa adanya melalui kitab suci Buddhis awal sedikit banyak berdasar atas metode yang digunakan Sang Buddha untuk mencapai Penerangan Sempurna dan Nibbana, dan dalam pengalaman Beliau sendiri disaat mengembangkan batinNya.

Istilah meditasi sebenarnya dapat disamakan dengan istilah �bhavana� yang arti harafiahnya �pengembangan batin� yakni usaha untuk menumbuhkan batin terpusat, tenang, mampu dengan jelas melihat sifat batin sesungguhnya gejala apapun yang dapat merealisir Nibbana, suatu keadaan batin ideal dari batin yang sehat.

Meditasi yang dilakukan oleh Sang Buddha ada dua macam :

Pemusatan Batin (samatha atau samadhi) yaitu penyatuan pemusatan batin (cittekaggata Skrt. cittaikagrata), dan

Pandangan Terang (Vipassana Skrt. Vipasyana atau Vidarsana).

Dari kedua istilah ini samatha atau konsentrasi, untuk alasan ini kata samatha atau samadhi, pada konteks tertentu dimaksudkan sebagai ketenangan atau keheningan. Menenangkan pikiran berarti menunggalkan pikiran yang diperoleh dengan menunjukan batin pada suatu objek pilihan dengan meninggalkan yang lain.

Meditasi (bhavana) dimulai dengan pemusatan pikiran/konsentrasi (samatha) adalah suatu keadaan yang bebas dari kekalutan. Apa pemusatan itu? Apa ciri-cirinya? Dan bagaimana mengembangkannya?

�Apapun cara penyatuan pikiran, inilah pemusatan (konsentrasi); empat usaha terhadap perhatian benar adalah ciri-ciri pemusatan, merupakan syarat-syarat yang diperlukan dalam pemusatan; bagaimanapun cara melatihnya, mengembangkannya, akan meningkatkan kemampuan konsentrasi. Inilah yang membangun konsentrasi. Pernyataan ini jelas menunjukkan bahwa ketiga faktor kelompok samadhi yakni: Usaha Benar, Perhatian Benar dan Konsentrasi Benar bekerja sama dan saling menunjang. Ketiganya meliputi konsentrasi yang sesungguhnya.

Perlu ditunjukkan bahwa mengembangkan pemusatan pikiran (samatha bhavana) seperti yang diajarkan oleh Sang Buddha bukan semata-mata Agama Buddha. Para Yogi sebelum Sang Buddha telah melakukan berbagai cara meditasi yang berlainan yang sampai kini masih dilakukan. India sejak dahulu sudah merupakan negara mistik, tetapi yoga yang amat terkenal di India tidak mampu melampaui sampai titik batas.

Samatha seperti yang diajarkan di dalam Agama Buddha hanya berakhir pada pencapaian Jhana dan Vipassana mengarah kepada empat tingkat pencapaian kesucian batin atau emansipasi. Siswa meditasi yang melanjutkan usahanya dengan tekun dan terus-menerus dengan Vipassana melenyapkan tahap demi tahap, kotoran batin yang membelenggu dirinya dalam putaran penderitaan (Samsara, juga disebut roda kehidupan dan kematian) dan mencapai tingkat keempat dari kesucian batin Arahat. Pengertian yang detail tentang Empat kesucian ini dapat dibaca dalam buku �The Buddha�s Ancient Path, karangan Piyadasi Thera, B.P.S. hlm 210�.

Sang Buddha tidak puas dengan pencapaian Jhana dan pengalaman mistik; satu-satunya tujuan Beliau adalah pencapaian Kebijaksanaan Mutlak dan Nibbana. Setelah mencapai ketenangan yang mantap dan konsentrasi yang tidak tergoyahkan dengan Samatha bhavana, Beliau mampu mengembangkan Vipassana yang membuat orang mampu memandang apapun dalam keadaan sebagaimana adanya, dan tidak sebagaimana penampilannya. Dengan kata lain untuk mengerti bagaimana sesungguhnya diri kita ini.

Istilah Vipassana (vi + passana) berasal dari asal katanya, �dilihat dengan cara istimewa� dan kata �passati� melihat dan tambahan �vi� artinya : �khusus�.

Maka Vipassana berarti melihat dari segi yang lebih jauh, bukan melihat kepermukaan ataupun bersifat sepintas lalu melainkan melihatnya dalam perspektif yang sebenarnya, yang dalam istilah dari ketiga sifat khas dari semua gejala kehidupan yaitu anicca, dukkha dan anatta. Meditasi Pandangan Terang ini mempunyai landasan ketenangan batin hasil Samatha Bhavana yang meningkatkan kemampuan meditasi seorang siswa untuk membersihkan batinnya dari segala kotoran, melenyapkan khayalan keakuan dan mampu melihat kasunyataan dan merealisir Nibbana.

Vipassana merupakan ajaran khas Sang Buddha sendiri yang sebelumnya tidak pernah Beliau dengar, suatu pengalaman langsung yang luar biasa dan khas dari Beliau sendiri, yang tidak akan ada seandainya tidak ada Pangeran Siddharta.

Meditasi Hening

2009-10-09T15:44:00.000+07:00

Banyak “orang pintar” yang mengklaim dirinya sebagai penemu Meditasi Hening. Tetapi sepanjang pengetahuan saya, Meditasi Hening ini pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh guru saya: Bapak Suratno Dharmo Harintha, pada sekitar tahun 1980-an. Meditasi Hening adalah suatu meditasi yang menggunakan metode dekonsentrasi. Dalam arti, Anda tidak perlu memusatkan pikiran ke suatu titik atau obyek tertentu ketika bermeditasi. Hanya saja, pikiran Anda tidak boleh dibiarkan menerawang atau mengembara ke berbagai tempat dan waktu, tetapi harus dialihkan secara bersangsur-angsur ke tempat dan waktu Anda bermeditasi.

Meditasi Hening, memang bukan satu-satunya meditasi yang menggunakan metode dekonsentrasi. Meditasi Reiki, Zen, Yoga, juga merupakan meditasi dekonsentrasi. Tetapi tidaklah berlebihan kiranya, jika dikatakan bahwa Meditasi Hening yang diperkenalkan laki-laki asal Wonogiri ini, merupakan meditasi yang paling sederhana tata-caranya. Anda tidak perlu duduk bersila dengan melipat kedua kaki Anda ketika bermeditasi. Anda juga tidak perlu menyilangkan tangan di dada dengan posisi tubuh yang tegak dan punggung lurus. Anda cukup duduk di kur si dengan posisi sesantai mungkin.

Mengapa disebut Meditasi Hening? Karena “terminal terakhir” dari perjalanan meditasi yang diajarkan Pak Harintha, Sang Guru, adalah Alam Hening. Bila Anda bermeditasi bersama Pak Harintha, dalam posisi duduk di kursi atau sofa, pertama kali beliau akan meminta Anda melepaskan segala beban pikiran, dan tidak membiarkan pikiran melanglangbuana. Seluruh pikiran harus dihadirkan di tempat mana sang pelaku meditasi berada. Tetapi tak perlu berkonsentrasi pada satu titik tertentu. Seluruh pendengaran harus tetap dibuka, sambil memelihara sikap waspada.

Bila Anda sudah terlihat bersikap relaks, Sang Guru akan meminta Anda untuk menutup mata perlahan. Otot-otot yang tegang di seluruh bagian tubuh secara berangsur harus dikendorkan. Nafas tidak perlu diatur, biarkan berjalan secara natural. Lalu imajinasikan diri Anda sedang mengalirkan segala beban pikiran atau stres dari kepala menuju dada. Simpan sejenak, lalu alirkan lagi secara perlahan menuju ujung kaki, seolah sedang membuang semua energi negatif melalui telapak kaki.

Sekali lagi, jangan biarkan pikiran Anda melalangbuana. Bila merasa kesulitan mengendalikan pikiran, resapi dan dengarkan saja nafas Anda yang keluar masuk tubuh Anda, sampai pada tahap nafas itu terasa semakin halus dan tidak terdengar lagi desahnya. Lalu rasakan dan dengarkan degup jantung Anda, hingga mencapai tahap Anda tidak lagi mendengar detak jantung.

“Loosss,” kata Sang Guru. “Jangan berpikir tentang masa lalu dan jangan pikirkan apa yang akan terjadi di masa mendatang. Pikiran Anda hanya berada pada detik ini. Sadari detik demi detik. Batin dan pikiran hanya diisi dengan rasa terima kasih, rasa syukur kepada Tuhan yang telah memberikan berbagai kenikmatan, seraya berserah diri secara total kepadaNya. Maturnuwun, Gusti. Sumonggo Kerso. Terima kasih, Tuhan. Apapun yang Kau berikan padaku, kuterima dengan ikhlas seikhlas-ikhlasnya.”

Jika Anda telah berada dalam kondisi penuh rasa terima kasih dan berserah diri secara total kepada Sang Pencipta, serta tidak terdengar lagi alunan nafas dan detak jantung, berarti Anda telah sampai di gelombang alpha. Pak Harintha yang telah sangat terlatih bermeditasi itu bisa mendeteksi, apakah muridnya sudah sampai pada gelombang alpha, atau justeru ke gelombang lainnya seperti beta, tetha, atau delta. Tetapi para peserta setidaknya bisa menandai sendiri, sudah sampaikah dia ke alpha atau belum?

Bila dalam meditasi itu Anda sudah tidak merasakan lagi kegelisahan, kekhawatiran, sakit hati, iri dan dengki, dan batin hanya dipenuhi dengan rasa terima kasih dan kepasrahan total kepada Tuhan, berarti Anda sudah sampai di gelombang alpha. Bila kondisi ini dapat Anda pelihara secara konstan, hanya dalam beberapa detik lagi Anda bisa sampai di alam hening, atau alam suwung.

Sulit menggambarkan seperti apa itu alam suwung atau alam hening, karena kondisi alamnya tak berbentuk, tak berwarna, tak berupa. Hanya saja bisa ditandai dengan rasa sejuk yang luar biasa mengaliri seluruh tubuh. Rasa sejuk itu sendiri berasal dari dalam tubuh. Dan, pada saat itu, si pelaku meditasi benar-benar berada dalam kondisi “tidak mempunyai keinginan apapun”.

Biasanya hanya beberapa detik saja si pelaku berada di alam suwung. Sang Guru akan meminta peserta untuk menandai kondisi tersebut, dan membuka mata secara perlahan. Kembali pada kondisi pra-meditasi. Tetapi keheningan yang sudah berhasil diraih dalam meditasi, harus terus dipelihara.

Tidak semua peserta meditasi berhasil dengan cepat berpijak di alam suwung, ataupun sampai ke gelombang alpha. Ada yang berbulan-bulan bahkan tak sampai-sampai ke alpha. Tetapi ada juga yang dengan segera menemukan hening. Tahap-tahap keberhasilan meditasi ini sangat bergantung pada pribadi setiap orang. Kuncinya, sekali lagi, adalah kepasrahan total kepada Sang Pencipta, dan rasa syukur yang tak pernah henti, atas sekecil apapun karunia (baik berupa anugrah maupun musibah) yang diberikan Tuhan.

Itu sebabnya, dalam persiapan menjelang meditasi, terlebih dulu Pak Harintha akan memberikan conditioning, dengan bercerita tentang nikmat-nikmat Tuhan yang diberikan kepada manusia. Tentang perlunya mengendalikan berbagai keinginan, dan mengeliminasi rasa iri dan dengki. Mengusir segala kekhawatiran dan membangkitkan optimisme.

Meditasi dalam Keseharian.

Yang ingin dicapai Meditasi Hening-nya Pak Harintha, bukan meditasinya itu sendiri. Meditasi hanyalah alat untuk melatih pengendalian diri. Bila Sang Guru menilai Anda sudah trampil bermeditasi dengan mata tertutup, pada hari-hari berikutnya beliau akan mengajak Anda bermeditasi dengan mata terbuka. Bermeditasi sambil berbincang-bincang mengenai makna kehidupan, dan tentang berbagai tugas yang kita emban sebagai manusia di atas bumi.

Tahap-tahap yang berhasil dicapai dan dirasakan dalam praktek meditasi, baik dalam kondisi mata tertutup maupun terbuka, sebaiknya dipraktekkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Jika dalam keseharian kita dilanda kegelisahan, usir segera kegelisahan itu dan menggantinya dengan kepasrahan. Tetapi bukan pasrah tanpa usaha. Melainkan pasrah dalam arti berserah diri kepadaNya. Pasrah pada apapun (bencana maupun keberuntungan) yang sedang kita alami detik demi detik, sambil berusaha dan berdo’a meminta kekuatanNya.

Jika dalam keseharian kita bisa menghilangkan rasa iri dan dengki ataupun kekhawatiran dan rasa sakit hati, maka perjalanan hidup pun bisa dinikmati dengan tenang. Apalagi bila kita mampu mengendalikan berbagai keinginan alias nafsu yang mengganggu.

Ajaran Meditasi Hening-nya Pak Harintha, nyaris tidak ada bedanya dengan ajaran Tasawuf dalam Islam ataupun ajaran Teosofi di kalangan Kristiani. Pun, sejalan dengan ajaran Buddhisme. Dan, seperti meditasi pada umumnya, Meditasi Hening merupakan ritual lintas-agama. Beberapa anggota Lions Club Jakarta, yang kebetulan beragama Islam dan pernah dilatih meditasi oleh Pak Harintha, sempat mengaku, sholat mereka menjadi semakin khusyu setelah berlatih Meditasi Hening.

MEDITASI METODE KUAN YIN

2009-10-09T08:23:00.000+07:00

by Ngurah Blue

Para sahabatku sepenekun dan sependamba,
saya masih ingat ketika Sdr. Suman sempat melontarkan paparannya tentang objek "suara dan cahaya" pada kesempatan terdahulu [11:02 21/12/99] sebagai berikut ini:

Mengenai suara memang terdapat dalam berbagai agama dan kepercayaan.
Hinduisme sering menggunakan lonceng dan terompet serta bunyi-bunyian
lainnya dalam upacara keagamaan mereka. Islam menggunakan beduk dan
loudspeaker dalam mengumandangkan Keangungan Illahi. Buddhisme
menggunakan lonceng, terompet, lentingan, ketokan, tabuhan, dll untuk
mengimbangi pembacaan berbagai mantra dan sutra. Katolik juga tidak
ketinggalan menggunakan lonceng gereja dalam memulai sidang doa. Kristen sering mengimbangi dengan nyanyian yang dilatar-belakangi dengan suara piano. Demikian juga dengan ajaran Taoisme yang menggunakan berbagai bunyian termasuk genderang, terompet dan tetabuhan. Confuciusme juga tidak ketinggalan menggunakan genta dalam upacara kebhaktian mereka. Bahkan kalau dalam Buddhisme khususnya dalam aliran Mahayana dan Tantrayana, terdapat bunyi-bunyian lonceng untuk menghantar roh yang meninggal menuju tingkat kesadaran (surga) yang lebih tinggi.

Masih terkait dengan suara sebagai objek meditasi, saya hadirkan sebuah metode yang disebut metode Kuan Yin, yang disuntingkan dari karya Dr. C.T. Shen yang diberi judul "Pencerahan Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara", sebagai berikut:
Untuk memulai pembahasan metode Kuan Yin tentang pengembangan kesadaran, pertama-tama akan saya sajikan terjemahan, bahagian dari Shurangama-Sutra, dimana Bodhisattva Avalokitershvara menjelaskan teknik meditasinya kepada Sang Buddha:

Mula-mula aku (memusatkan) pada kesadaran pendengaran, membiarkan bunyi-bunyi yang menyentuh (telinga) berlalu dan demikianlah objek-objek pendengaran hilang dan lenyap.

Kemudian, karena kontak telinga dan objek pendengaran tidak mengahasilkan pengaruh apapun, pikiran tetap dalam keadaan jernih dan fenomena gerakan maupun ketenangan tidak lagi terjadi.

Pencerapan meditasipun lambat laun menjadi semakin dalam; akhirnya perbedaan antara kesadaran pendengaran dan objek kesadaran pendengaran tidak lagi ada.
Meskipun tidak ada pengalaman akan kesadaran pendengaran, pencerapan meditasi tidak berhenti. Kemudian seluruh kesadaran dan objek kesadaran menjadi kosong.
Kesadaran kekosongan berkembang tanpa batas; kemudian kekosongan dan apa yang kosong menjadi padam.

Karena semua yang muncul dan yang lenyap telah berhenti, ketenangan menjadi terwujud. Tiba-tiba setelah melampaui keduniaan dan di luar keduniaan, muncul kilauan yang tidak terpencar di sepuluh penjuru.

Ini sebagai bukti bahwa metode Kuan Yin berdasarkan proses pendengaran. Terkait dengan teknik ini, kita diharapkan memiliki pengertian yang jelas tentang lima istilah berikut:

Aku,
Sifat pendengaran,
Kesadaran pendengaran,
Mendengar, dan
Bunyi.

Kelima istilah di atas berhubungan dengan Lima Tingkat Kesadaran yang menipu; dimana yang terkasar dan terlemah adalah bunyi, sedangkan yang terhalus dan terkuat adalah Aku. Yang terakhir inilah yang tersulit dikikis. Pada umumnya kita cenderung mengacaukan antara bunyi, mendengar, kesadaran mendengar dan sifat mendengar; padahal sebetulnya ada beberapa perbedaan yang penting dan mendasar.
Kuan Yin memulai pengembangan kesadarannya dengan mengenali perbedaan itu. Beliau berlatih meditasi dekat laut. Setiap pagi, bangun tidur ketika segala sesuatu masih tenang, Beliau mendengar bunyi pasang-surut dari jauh, memecah kesunyian. Beberapa saat setelah bunyi tersebut menghilang, Beliaupun kembali mendengar kesunyian. Demikian bunyi pasang-surut datang dan berlalu.

Kuan Yin mengamati dengan seksama datang dan berlalunya bunyi pasang-surut dan menemukan bahwasanya mereka adalah dua objek yang terpisah, dimana Beliau tak dapat mendengarkannya secara bersamaan. Ketika bunyi itu muncul, kesunyian lenyap. Sebaliknya ketika bunyi itu lenyap, maka kesunyianlah yang muncul.

Meski demikian keduanya mempunyai kesamaan yakni:
keduanya muncul dan lenyap,
keduanya tidak tetap.

Akan tetapi tidak demikian halnya dengan sifat halus dari 'pendengaran' itu sendiri; ia selalu ada. Sifat 'mendengar' memudahkannya untuk mendengarkan 'bunyi' pasang-surut yang baru muncul, tetapi itu tidak akan berlalu ketika pasang-surut (objek) lenyap; karena kesunyianlah yang terdengar.

Bila sifat 'mendengar' terpisah dengan 'pasang-surut' (objek pendengaran), maka Beliau tak akan mendengar baik kesunyian maupun pasang-surut berikutnya. Demikianlah meskipun 'bunyi' muncul dan berlalu, sifat 'mendengar' tak terpengaruhi atau berubah karenanya.

Nah......dari uraian di atas, ada satu hal yang saya garis bawahi di sini adalah 'mengamati dengan cermat dalam penuh kesadaran'. Bahkan saya melihat bahwa metode ini justru berbasis kuat pada aktivitas batin tersebut. Aktivitas ini melahirkan kemampuan untuk memilah-milah antara: kesadaran pengamatan, yang diamati, proses pengamatan serta hasil amatan; dimana Aku-lah sebagai subjek atau Si Pengamatnya.

Semoga tulisan ini ada manfaatnya bagi sahabat sekalian dalam berlatih. Sekurangnya, ia menambah wawasan kita seputar metode-metode yang telah teruji dalam melahirkan pencerahan demi pencerahan. Selamat berlatih dengan tekun !

Shanti citta,
anatta-bali

REIKI

2009-10-09T07:38:00.000+07:00

REIKI. Bagaimana dengan penyembuhan REIKI? Soalnya belakangan ini penyembuhan REIKI banyak dipopulerkan dalam seminar-seminar di beberapa kota di Indonesia, dan bahkan diikuti oleh beberapa pendeta.

Sebenarnya REIKI adalah salah satu bentuk 'Penyembuhan Alternatif' yang dilandasi Gerakan Zaman Baru (New Age) dan menekankan metoda 'sentuhan' (therapeutic touch). Perbedaan dengan cara penyembuhan alternatif 'New Age' lainnya adalah:

(1) Dalam hal metodanya, ***-Chi & Yoga menggunakan latihan gerak-nafas-meditasi, Chi-Kung menggunakan latihan nafas-meditasi, Akupunktur menggunakan tusukan jarum, dan Pijat refleksi menggunakan pijatan, maka REIKI menggunakan sentuhan, bukan saja untuk diri sendiri tetapi juga untuk kesembuhan orang lain;

(2) dalam hal falsafahnya, penyembuhan laternatif lainnya mendasarkan dirinya pada mistik sedangkan REIKI mendasarkan diri dengan mistik yang diberi 'jubah agama' (misalnya diiringi doa semua agama). Kesamaannya dengan cara penyembuhan alternatif 'New Age' lainnya adalah kekuatan penyembuhan itu diperoleh dari 'Energi Kehidupan yang ada dalam diri manusia dan alam. Sekalipun berjubah agama, agama disini adalah agama 'inklusif yang sinkretis' yaitu menganggap 'tuhan semua agama itu sama' tetapi akhirnya ternyata bahwa tuhan yang dimaksudkan adalah 'tuhan mistik & pantheis'. Dalam REIKI-2 yang menggunakan simbol-simbol mantera, simbol pertama berbunyi: 'CHO KU REI' (Saya mohon kehadiran Yang Maha Kuasa), dan simbol kedua yang berbunyi 'SEI HE KI' ('Yang mempertemukan Tuhan dengan hambanya' atau 'Mengaktifkan Sumber yang ada di dalam diri kita') menunjukkan penyatuan diri dengan kekuatan alam mistisisme/panth eisme.

Memang manusia dikarunia 'Jiwa' (nafas/daya kehidupan) yang berasal dari nafas Allah (Kej.2:7) sehingga manusia menjadi mahluk yang hidup, tetapi jelas disebutkan bahwa 'nafas Allah bukan Roh Allah' (Ayb.33:4). Jiwa manusia mempiliki daya hidup atau kekuatan untuk hidup dan menguasai alam beserta segala mahluk (Kej.1:26). Dosa manusia adalah bahwa kemudian 'Jiwa' atau 'Aku' manusia itu dengan 'kekuatan dalam dirinya' mau meninggikan diri dan mau 'menjadi seperti Allah' (Ke.3:8-10), 'mau mencari nama bagi dirinya sendiri' dengan membuat menara Babil (Kej.11:4-6), bahkan 'Ingin naik kelangit, membesarkan diri, bahkan hendak menyamai yang Mahatinggi' (Yes.14:12-14). Inilah dosa manusia sehingga manusia diusir dari Firdaus dan kemampuannya diambil darinya sehingga manusia tercerai -berai (Kej.11:7-8), karena itulah, maka Tuhan melalui mulut nabi Yeremia mengucapkan peringatan: "Terkutuklah mereka yang mengandalkan dirinya sendiri � dan diberkatilah mereka yang mengandalkan Tuhan." (Yer.17:5-8). Untuk pengganti kekuatan yang rusak itu, Tuhan menjanjikan pendampingan Roh Kudus (Yer.31:31-33;Yeh.36:26-28) yang digenapi pada hari 'Pentakosta' (Kis.2).

'New Age' mengajarkan bahwa manusia adalah 'kekuatan ilahi' itu sendiri, dan menganggap bahwa 'Tuhan tidak berpribadi' dan hanya merupakan sumber kekuatan 'energi kehidupan' itu, karena itu 'energi kehidupan' itu dilatih agar menjadi bersifat 'ilahi' yang penuh. Motivasi ini sama dengan 'motivasi dosa' yaitu "Ingin menjadi seperti Allah". Shirley McLainne dan tokoh-tokoh New Age mengatakan "I am God" unatuk menyatakan diri bahwa mereka adalah bersifat ilahi! Keberatan atas penyembuhan alternatif termasuk REIKI adalah karena mereka justru mempertebal 'energi kehidupan' yang dianggapnya 'Tuhan' itu dalam dirinya, sedangkan berita firman menyebutkan agar "kita tidak mengandalkannya tetapi agar berharap kepada Tuhan dan mendambakan pendampingan Roh Kudus".

Bila penyembuhan alternatif yang dimaksudkan adalah doa 'kesembuhan Ilahi', ini memang disuruh Tuhan sebagai bagian dari PI (Mar.16:15-18), tetapi kalau yang dipraktekkan adalah penyembuhan ala mistik & pentheisme maka namanya 'sinkretisme' (pencampur adukkan kepercayaan-kepercayaan). Dalam hal ini tidfak ada cara lain selain menasehati mereka (tidak mudah karena orang yang melatih tenaga dalam cenderung memiliki 'aku' yang sudah tebal) dan marilah kita mendoakan mereka dengan motivasi yang murni. Di dunia gereja khususnya Ktolik, memang sudah banyak praktek mistik & pantheis dilakukan oleh pastor-pastor tertentu, bahkan gereja katolik mempunyai 'kuil meditasi Zen' di Jepang (Sin Mei Kutzu adalah rumah retret Jesuit yang mengadaptasi meditasi zen sebagai cara untuk membimbing retret umat Katolik). Di kalangan Protestan memang sudah ada pedneta-pendeta yang terpengaruh faham sinkretisme demikian seperti misalnya 'Reimagining' di USA yang bernuansa NEW Age, Dewan Gereja Dunia (WCC) sejak di Canbera sudah mempraktekkan meditasi sebagai cara untuk berdoa (contemplative prayer), dan jangan heran bahwa usaha-usaha 'Inklusivisme' dalam 'dialog agama' ternyata menghasilkan pendeta-pendeta 'yang lebih percaya Tuhan monis pantheisme daripada Tuhan Theis monotheisme dan biasanya Kristus direndahkan sekedar manusia biasa (de-Kristosentrisme, Kristus yang disederajatkan dengan tokoh-tokoh agama lain dan dimanusiakan seperti dalam 'Jesus Seminar').

Meditasi Bersama Yesus, Meditasi Katolik

2009-10-08T23:20:00.000+07:00

Hati manusia secara kodrati terarah kepada Allah. Mereka melakukan berbagai upaya untuk bisa berkomunikasi dengan Allah, yang bermula dari kegelisahannya untuk dapat membina relasi dengan Allah, sehingga melahirkan apa yang disebut dengan doa.

Dalam doa, manusia berkomunikasi dengan Tuhannya dalam hubungannya yang sangat pribadi, sehingga melahirkan berbagai macam cara berdoa. Doa lahir dan doa batin yang seringkali kita sebut dengan meditasi atau doa meditatif. Kemudian untuk tingkatnya yang lebih dalam, kita sebut kontemplatif.

Dalam doa meditatif kita tidak tergoda untuk berbicara tetapi melakukan permenungan yang mendalam. Tanpa suara namun tetap memikirkan sesuatu, merenungkan sesuatu. Dengan bermeditasi, kita melakukan suatu pencarian berdasarkan cinta menuju sang kebenaran itu sendiri.

Ada beberapa pola meditasi yang bisa kita gunakan. Sebagai gambaran maka dalam buku ini kita sejenak diajak untuk mengerti dan membandingkan meditasi yang ada dalam agama-agama di dunia seperti, meditasi dalam Budha, Hinduisme, Islam, Meditasi Zen berserta dengan tahap-tahapnya. Apa itu kundalini yoga, dan meditasi dalam Kekristenan.

Dalam meditasi kristiani ada beberapa cara yang bisa kita gunakan antara lain, meditasi Tesesian, Lectio Divina (yang seringkali dikatakan dengan meditasi Kitab Suci), dan meditasi untuk penyembuhan.

Namun selain yang telah disebutkan di atas, buku ini ingin memberikan alternative doa meditative dan sekaligus kontemplatif. Yaitu Meditasi dengan Mantra. Yaitu suatu jalan sederhana yang bisa mendekatkan diri kita dengan Tuhan.

“Duduklah, duduklah dengan punggung tegak, duduklah dengan tenang, tutuplah matamu dan ucapkan mantramu…”

Dalam buku diberikan beberapa petunjuk praktis yang dapat kita terapkan dalam melakukan jalan sederhan ini. Mengenai sikap, ucapan mantra dan pemilihan lamanya waktu dan saat yang tepat dan terbaik serta disiplin dalam bermeditasi dan mengapa kita bermeditasi. Sehingga kita bisa mendapatkan buah-buah dari meditasi itu.

Cuplikan kalimat dari kitab suci yang kita renungkan akan membimbing kita untuk semakin dekat dengan Tuhan. Perkataan-perkataan seperti “Apa yang kamu cari? Dimanakah Engkau tinggal? (Yoh 1:38); Datang dan lihatlah, akan membawa kita semakin dekat dalam hubungannya dengan Tuhan. Dengan Yesus.

Buku ini juga mengulas beberapa konsep yang keliru mengenai meditasi itu sendiri. Dan bagaimana sebenarnya bermeditasi itu. Cukup banyak pelaku yang tidak menyadari hal tersebut. Bisa jadi kita adalah salaj satu pelaku tersebut yang selama ini telah melakukan kesalahan tersebut.

Meditasi adalah suatu perjalanan pribadi. Maranatha… ucapkan mantramu dengan setia dan tekun. Itulah jalan kepada ketenangan dan keheningan. Jalan itu sungguh sederhana, dan justru itulah kekuatan dan daya tarik meditasi kristiani.
Buku ini sangat berguna bagi siapa saja yang memiliki kerinduan untuk selalu dekat dengan Yesus dan tertarik untuk mempraktikkan jalan sederhana menuju ketenangan dan keheningan batin, dalam dan bersama Yesus.

Doa Rosario, Meditasi Katolik

2009-10-08T20:16:00.000+07:00

Doa Rosario adalah doa khas umat Katolik. Namun seringkali timbul pro dan kontra mengenai doa tersebut. Perdebatan itu timbul karena adanya pertanyaan, mengapa kita harus berdoa Rosario, Mengapa kita harus berdoa kepada Maria. Masih banyak umat Non-Katolik dan sebagian umat Katolik yang mengira bahwa doa rosario adalah doa kepada Maria.

Sesungguhnya doa rosario adalah doa kepada Tuhan Yesus, dengan meneladani intersesi (bantuan doa) Bunda Maria. Melalui Maria menuju Yesus (Per Mariam Et Jesum). Didalam doa Rosario Bunda Maria menemani kita untuk merenungkan peristiwa kelahiran, penderitaan, dan kemuliaan Putranya. Dengan berdoa Rosario kita dapat merenungkan misteri kehidupan Yesus dengan sepenuh hati.

Paus Yohanes Paulus II (Alm), menyatakan "Rosario telah menyertai saya di saat-saat suka dan di saat-saat duka," tulisnya. "Dalam rosario saya selalu menemukan penghiburan."

"…kuasa doa rosario sebagai sumber damai di dunia dan sumber damai dalam keluarga, …dan akan selalu merupakan doa dari dan bagi keluarga." Dan kesempatan lain ia menyatakan bahwa doa Rosario merupakan doa favoritnya.

Cukup banyak umat Katolik yang mendaraskan doa ini pada saat-saat tertentu, bahkan adapula yang melakukannya setiap hari. Gereja Katolik menetapkan bulan Mei dan Oktober, dikhususkan sebagai bulan Maria dan Bulan Rosario.

Doa Rosario didaraskan umat Katolik sedunia termasuk kita dengan penuh penghayatan, namun mengertikah kita tentang kisah dibalik Doa Rosario. Rahasia apa yang tersimpan dalam Doa Rosario tersebut?

St. Louis de Monfort kerapkali menyatakan keberhasilannya mempertobatkan orang-orang yang berdosa dikaitkan dengan Rosario. Biarkanlah aku mengalungkan Rosarioku pada leher orang yang berdoa, " katanya. "Tak pernah seorang pun yang berdoa Rosario setiap hari dibiarkan tersesat. Aku akan dengan senang hati menandatangani pernyataanku ini dengan darahku."

Doa Rosario adalah doa vokal dan doa batin yang dirangkai dari doa Yesus Kristus dan Salam Malaikat, Yaitu Bapa Kami dan Salam Maria, Doa tersebut adalah doa utama dan devosi umat beriman sejak berabad-abad yang lampau. Namun Gereja, menerima dan mengakuinya dalam bentuk dan metode yang kita kenal sekarang pada tahun 1214. Hal ini berkat St. Dominikus, Pendiri Ordo Pengkotbah.

Meditasi Tanpa Objek

2009-10-08T15:11:00.000+07:00

Meditasi tanpa objek adalah meditasi tanpa gambar, tanpa imaginasi, tanpa simbolisasi, tanpa visualisasi, tanpa fokus, tanpa tema atau tanpa konsep. Yang dilakukan pemeditasi hany alah duduk diam dengan batin yang hening, menyadari keberadaan Saat Sekarang, mengamati segala sesuatu yang datang dan pergi tanpa tebang pilih, memberi perhatian terhadap segala sesuatu apa adanya.

Biasanya orang memahami objek lewat saringan pikiran. Objek yang dipahami lewat saringan pikiran tidak bisa dipahami seutuhnya karena keterkondisian pikiran subjek manusia. Kalau ada subjek yang berpikir, di sana ada objek pikiran. Pikiran selalu membuat jarak atau pemisahan subjek dan objek. Subjek tidak bisa mengalami objek secara langsung kalau harus melalui medium pikiran yang menciptakan jarak.

Meditasi tanpa objek berarti meditasi tanpa menggunakan kemampuan pikiran. Keinginan, kehendak atau daya upaya untuk menolak atau membuang atau menghentikan pikiran masih merupakan bagian ego yang berpikir. Subjek yang bebas dari pikiran adalah subjek yang bebas dari kesadaran aktif intensional. Bebasnya subjek dari kesadaran aktif, membuat subjek menghilang. Ketika subjek yang berpikir menghilang, objek pikiran juga menghilang. Tidak ada lagi subjek dan objek. Kesadaran pasif muncul dengan sendirinya ketika kesadaran aktif berhenti. Ketika saringan pikiran tak terpakai lagi, maka segala sesuatu hadir seutuhnya. Segala sesuatu hadir secara murni seperti apa adanya.

Pengertian Meditasi

2009-10-08T05:07:00.000+07:00

Meditasi adalah.....

Meditasi tidak mudah. Ia butuh waktu dan butuh energi. Ia juga menuntut tekad, keteguhan hati dan disiplin. Ia juga membutuhkan sejumlah kualitas pribadi yang biasa kita anggap tidak nyaman dan yang kalau bisa kita hindarkan. Kita dapat meringkas semuanya dalam istilah Amerika ‘gumption’ (akal sehat). Meditasi membutuhkan akal sehat. Tentu jauh lebih mudah untuk duduk meluruskan kaki dan menonton teve. Jadi mengapa pusing? Mengapa membuang waktu dan energi kalau Anda dapat pergi keluar bersenang-senang? Mengapa pusing? Jawabannya sederhana. Karena Anda manusia. Dan justru karena fakta sederhana bahwa Anda manusia, Anda mendapati diri Anda mewarisi suatu keadaan tak memuaskan yang inheren di dalam kehidupan, yang tidak mau hilang. Anda dapat menekannya dari kesadaran Anda untuk sementara. Anda dapat mengalihkan perhatian selama berjam-jam terus-menerus, tetapi perasaan itu selalu kembali—biasanya ketika Anda tidak mengharapkannya. Tiba-tiba, seolah-olah datang dari langit kosong, Anda duduk tegak, menimbang-nimbang, dan menyadari situasi Anda sesungguhnya dalam kehidupan.

Meditasi adalah.....

Kebahagiaan dan perdamaian. Keduanya sesungguhnya masalah utama dalam kehidupan manusia. Itulah yang dicari oleh kita semua. Ini sering kali agak sukar dilihat oleh karena kita menutupi cita-cita dasar itu dengan berlapis-lapis tujuan di permukaan. Kita membutuhkan makanan, kita membutuhkan uang, kita membutuhkan seks, harta benda dan kehormatan. Kita bahkan berkata kepada diri sendiri bahwa ide “kebahagiaan” adalah terlalu abstrak. “Begini, saya ini orang praktis. Berikan saja cukup uang kepada saya, dan saya akan beli semua kebahagiaan yang saya butuhkan.” Sayang sekali, ini suatu sikap yang tidak berhasil. Periksalah cita-cita itu masing-masing, dan Anda akan mendapati bahwa semuanya dangkal. Anda membutuhkan makanan. Mengapa? Oleh karena saya lapar. Jadi Anda lapar; lalu kenapa? Yah, jika saya makan, saya tidak akan lapar lagi dan saya akan merasa nyaman. Aha! Merasa nyaman! Nah, itu baru penting. Yang sesungguhnya kita cari bukanlah cita-cita permukaan. Mereka cuma alat untuk mencapai suatu tujuan lain. Yang sesungguhnya kita cari adalah perasaan lega, yang timbul bila suatu dorongan terpuaskan. Perasaan lega, relaks, dan berakhirnya suatu ketegangan. Kedamaian, kebahagiaan, tak ada lagi harapan.

Meditasi adalah.....

Meditasi dimaksudkan untuk memurnikan batin. Meditasi membersihkan proses pikiran dari apa yang dapat disebut perangsang psikis, yakni hal-hal seperti keserakahan, kebencian dan kecemburuan, hal-hal yang membuat Anda terkungkung dalam belenggu emosional. Meditasi membawa batin ke dalam keadaan ketenangan dan keadaan-sadar, keadaan penuh konsentrasi dan pencerahan.

Meditasi adalah.....

Meditasi dijuluki Guru Agung. Ia adalah api pembersih yang bekerja perlahan-lahan melalui pemahaman. Makin dalam pemahaman Anda, makin fleksibel dan makin toleran Anda. Makin dalam pemahaman Anda, makin Anda penuh welas-asih. Anda menjadi seperti orangtua yang sempurna atau seorang guru yang ideal. Anda siap untuk memaafkan dan melupakan. Anda menaruh cinta kepada orang lain karena Anda memahami mereka. Dan Anda memahami orang lain karena Anda memahami diri Anda sendiri. Anda telah melihat jauh ke dalam dan melihat ilusi diri dan kelemahan-kelemahan manusiawi Anda sendiri. Anda telah melihat kemanusiaan Anda sendiri dan belajar memaafkan dan mencinta. Bila Anda telah belajar menaruh welas-asih terhadap diri sendiri, welas-asih terhadap orang lain datang dengan sendirinya. Seorang pemeditasi yang mahir telah mencapai pemahaman yang mendalam terhadap kehidupan, dan dengan sendirinya ia berhubungan dengan dunia dengan cinta yang mendalam dan tanpa bertanya-tanya.

Meditasi adalah.....

Meditasi adalah seperti mengolah lahan yang baru. Untuk membuat hutan menjadi sawah, mula-mula Anda harus menebangi pohon-pohon dan menggali tunggul-tunggul kayu. Lalu Anda membajak tanah dan memberinya pupuk. Lalu Anda menebarkan benih dan menuai padi yang masak. Untuk memupuk batin Anda, pertama-tama Anda harus membersihkan batin dari berbagai pencemar yang menghambat, mencabutnya sampai ke akar-akarnya sehingga mereka tak dapat tumbuh kembali. Lalu Anda memberi pupuk. Anda memompakan energi dan mendisiplinkan lahan batin. Lalu Anda menebarkan benih dan Anda menuai buahnya, yakni iman, moralitas, keadaan sadar-penuh (mindfulness) dan kearifan.

Meditasi adalah.....

Meditasi menajamkan konsentrasi Anda dan daya pikir Anda. Lalu, sedikit demi sedikit, motif-motif dan proses-proses bawah-sadar Anda sendiri akan menjadi jelas bagi Anda. Intuisi Anda menjadi makin tajam. Kecermatan pikiran Anda meningkat dan berangsur-angsur Anda akan tahu secara langsung hal-hal seperti apa adanya, tanpa prasangka dan tanpa ilusi. Jadi, apakah ini alasan yang cukup untuk memusingkan kepala dengan meditasi? Tentu saja tidak. Ini cuma janji-janji di atas kertas. Hanya ada satu jalan bagi Anda untuk tahu, apakah meditasi itu memang ada manfaatnya untuk dicoba. Belajarlah untuk melakukannya dengan benar, lalu lakukan. Lihatlah sendiri hasilnya.

MANFAAT MEDITASI

2009-10-07T20:51:00.000+07:00

Masalah utama dalam perkembangan spiritual manusia jaman modern sekarang ini
adalah bahwa banyak orang yang tidak mempunyai waktu untuk berdiam diri,
hening dalam doa. Mereka begitu sibuk dengan berbagai acara, baik yang
bersifat rekreatif maupun bisnis.

Banyak orang merasa bahwa waktu tujuh hari dalam seminggu selalu tidak cukup
untuk tugas mereka. Bahkan seringkali waktu sehari dalam dua puluh empat jam
pun dirasa masih kurang. Maka sering kali mereka tidak mempunyai waktu untuk
keluarga, untuk diri sendiri dan apa lagi untuk Tuhan.

Pulang kerja sudah malam, lagi pula lelahnya badan membuat tidak mungkin
duduk berdiam dengan tenang. Langsung tidur itulah solusi yang paling banyak
dilakukan. Menurut para ahli spiritualitas, hidup tanpa refleksi itu menjadi
kosong dan kering. Karena kedalaman hidup rohani sangat dipengaruhi oleh
kemampuan seseorang untuk memperdalam kepekaan dan kesadaran akan kehadiran
Tuhan dalam hidup dan rahmat yang diterima sehari-hari.

Dan semua ini dimungkinkan bila seseorang mempunyai waktu untuk refleksi
diri dalam hening dan tenang bersama Tuhan dalam doa. Meditasi adalah salah
satu 'cara' di mana seseorang mampu menciptakan keheningan itu dan
ketenangan bersama Tuhan.

Bila setiap orang beriman mempunyai kesempatan seperti ini, maka akan
semakin jarang kita temui diantara kita, orang yang merasa tahu banyak
ajaran agamanya, tetapi menjadi fanatik buta. Atau orang-orang yang 'cuek'
dan tidak merasa perlu berdoa dan pergi ke beribadah, karena toh..Tuhan bisa
ditemukan dimana-mana. Atau orang yang berpendapat keselamatan toh tidak
ditentukan oleh aktifnya seseorang berdoa atau pergi ke beribadah.
Menurut paham "Raja Yoga' atau lebih dikenal dengan sebutan "Patanjali
Yogasustras", meditasi atau Dhyana adalah suatu kesadaran terus menerus akan
kehadiran Tuhan dalam hidup. Meditasi adalah ' an unbroken flow of thoughts
towards the object of concentration'.

Dalam meditasi ini kita ingin masuk dalam pengalaman akan Allah, bersatu dan
menyatu dalam kehadiranNya, bukan hanya sekedar memikirkan dan merasakan
Allah. Berdasarkan pemahaman ini menurut Swamy Devaprasad ada bebeapa
manfaat meditasi yang sangat membantu manusia untuk menemukan kedamaian,
kebahagiaan dan keharmonisan hidup sejati.

Manfaat dari meditas itu adalah:
1. Meditasi membantu mengeluarkan dari hidup manusia penyakit mental,
psikosomatik. Meditasi ini juga memurnikan pikiran, mengendalikan bicara dan
menuntun tindakan.
2. Meditasi mampu menguatkan budi, hati, pikiran dan badan, dan ini
merupakan usaha preventif melawan berbagai macam penyakit.
3. Meditasi membantu menghilangkan atau meredakan segala ketegangan dan
mampu membuat seseorang merasa santai dan tenang.
4. Karena keheningan sejati dan kedamaian hati yang dialami, meditasi
membantu perkembangan hubungan interpersonal, baik dengan sesama maupun
dengan Tuhan.

Bila kita mempunyai waktu secara teratur, setiap hari dari
hanya lima menit hingga setengah jam, alangkah besar manfaat dari meditasi
ini. Ketenangan hidup dan kedamaian yang dirindukan setiap orang tidak perlu
dicari dimana-mana, tetapi ditemukan dalam meditasi ini. Tidak percaya,
cobalah sendiri dan anda akan mengalaminya.

Tujuan Meditasi

2009-10-07T14:35:00.000+07:00

Tujuan Meditasi - Mengenali Jati Diri Anda dan Mencapai Kebahagiaan Batin

Sebenarnya, ketika kita sedang bahagia, kita sangat sulit bermeditasi. Dan ketika kita sedang sangat menderita, kita juga sangat sulit bermeditasi! Itulah mengapa kita harus selalu berusaha menemukan keseimbangan di antaranya agar kita tidak merasa terlalu ekstrim sehingga kita lupa bahwa kebahagiaan sejati ada di dalam batin. Sungguh, demikian!

Tidak masalah betapa besar kita mengasihi seseorang atau betapa besar seseorang mengasihi kita; suatu hari dia akan mengecewakan kita atau menyakitkan kita. Mungkin kita salah paham, atau mungkin benar. Tetapi menyakitkan. Bahkan dengan anak-anak atau suami kita. Jika kita ingin agar mereka benar-benar mengasihi kita, maka kita harus menjadi seperti seorang budak selama 24 jam sehari untuk memenuhi semua harapan mereka. Lalu mereka akan bahagia dan mungkin akan menempel kepada kita. Walaupun begitu, itupun belum pasti.

Kadang anak-anak membuat masalah bagi orang tua mereka, itu karena mereka tidak memahami orang tua mereka, atau mereka ingin agar orang tua mereka selalu bersama mereka sepanjang waktu dan memberi semua waktunya. Tetapi kadang jika orang tua tidak dapat memuaskan mereka, maka mereka kemudian menjadi tidak peduli. Dan anak-anak itupun kadang membuat banyak penderitaan bagi orang tua mereka. Sepasang suami istri kadang juga saling menyakiti, itu karena mereka mempunyai terlalu banyak tuntutan.

Tuntutannya kadang tidak mudah untuk dipenuhi. Misalkan hari ini ada seseorang yang mencintai Anda, Anda kemudian berharap agar besok dia akan tetap sama atau mungkin semakin baik. Tetapi esok harinya suatu hal terjadi pada dirinya dan membuat ia mudah marah atau murung, sehingga ia tidak ingin berbicara dengan Anda. Itu mungkin bukan kesalahan Anda, tetapi Anda kemudian berkata, “Jika kamu tidak mempedulikan saya, mengapa saya harus mempedulikanmu?” Anda berdua mengucapkan kalimat ini sehingga kalian berpisah atau setidaknya merasa kesal satu sama lain. Diperlukan waktu berhari-hari agar kalian berdamai kembali atau hal itu mungkin tidak akan pernah terjadi lagi. Kadang hal-hal kecil pun dapat menyebabkan perpisahan, dan ini amat menyakitkan. Jika tidak menyakitkan maka boleh saja, tetapi ini sungguh-sungguh menyakitkan.

Sebenarnya, jika kita sungguh-sungguh bersandar kepada kebahagiaan batin, maka segalanya akan datang. Kita kemudian tidak akan pernah kecewa atau terus bergantung kepada siapapun. Jika seseorang menyapa maka baik saja; jika mereka tidak menyapa, maka baik juga. Kita tidak merasa begitu terluka atau sakit di dalam batin.

Maka semua kepedihan, kesedihan, dan kesengsaraan datangnya bukan dari luar, bukan dari orang lain; tetapi datang dari kegelapan batin kita. Kita mengharapkan terlalu banyak dari semua orang dan segala hal; dan setelah itu kita menjadi kecewa. Jadi satu-satunya sumber kebahagiaan ada di dalam batin. Kapanpun Anda bermeditasi, usahakanlah untuk berhubungan dengan sumber itu. Untuk diri Anda sendiri, untuk kebahagiaan, kesenangan, dan kepuasan diri Anda sendiri maka Anda harus selalu berusaha untuk berhubungan dengan pusat kegembiraan yang ada di dalam batin Anda sendiri. Itulah dimana kekuatan Guru berada. Itulah dimana setiap mukjizat di alam semesta dapat terwujud. Itulah cinta kasih, itulah dimana segala kebaikan hati dan cinta kasih berasal. Itulah dimana segala Kebajikan, Keindahan, dan Kebenaran tergeletak tidur di sana untuk Anda temukan.

Kalau tidak, cepat atau lambat kita semua akan meninggal dan pergi ke mana, siapakah yang peduli? Setidaknya ketika kita hidup sebagai manusia, kita harus menjalani suatu kehidupan yang bermakna; kita harus bahagia dan meneruskan hidup kita dengan cara yang penuh arti, karena itu cocok dengan martabat kita sebagai manusia, sebagai “Tingkat Kesepuluh” dari segala satwa di dunia ini. Kitalah puncak ciptaan jasmani. Kita belum tahu bahwa kita berada di puncak alam semesta. Mungkin bukan yang tertinggi, tetapi setidaknya di sini, kitalah puncak ciptaan. Maka kita harus meneruskan hidup kita sebagai manusia yang bermartabat; bukannya takut terhadap segala hal, bodoh, dan tenggelam dalam kesengsaraan, terutama ketika kita memiliki harta batin yang dapat selalu kita gunakan.

Itulah satu-satunya tujuan meditasi: agar Anda mengenal diri Anda sendiri dan memahami apa kebahagiaan sejati itu, bukan karena Guru mengatakan demikian dan Anda harus mematuhi Guru. Anda mematuhi Guru karena itu baik bagi Anda, tetapi Anda harus tahu alasannya. Anda harus tahu itu demi Anda, bukan demi Guru. Guru tidak peduli. Saya tidak peduli. Jika Anda tidak ingin bermeditasi, maka Anda tidak usah bermeditasi. Itu kehidupan Anda. Saya tidak dapat mengendalikan Anda, dan saya tidak ingin melakukannya. Jika Anda mengendalikan orang lain, maka Anda akan terikat kepadanya. Seperti polisi dengan penjahat, keduanya diborgol. Polisi harus terus mengurus tahanannya.

Saya tidak mau berada di posisi itu. Maka apapun yang saya katakan kepada Anda, itu baik bagi Anda, dan bila hal itu logis maka teruskanlah. Bukan karena saya memaksa Anda atau apapun seperti itu. Itu adalah suatu kehormatan, hak istimewa, dan nasib baik dalam kehidupan kita karena kita telah mengetahui rahasia itu. Bukan dipaksa, bukan tawar-menawar, bukan kewajiban. Yang terbaik dari segala hak istimewa, yang terbaik dari segala keberuntungan dalam ribuan atau jutaan masa kehidupan, bahwa kita telah mengetahui pintu untuk membebaskan diri kita dari segala kesengsaraan. Maka bermeditasilah. Itu saja yang ada. [Tepuk tangan]

Kadang saya bekerja hingga larut malam, kadang bisa sampai pukul 12, pukul 1, atau pukul 2 subuh; akan tetapi saya tetap bermeditasi sebelum saya tidur. Saya selalu merindukan meditasi dan terlepas dari segala kewajiban serta tugas saya. Saya tidak pernah merasa seperti saya sebaiknya tidak bermeditasi, atau meditasi itu mengerikan. Tidak pernah! Bagi saya, meditasi telah menjadi suatu kesenangan, sumber relaksasi, dan sumber energi; bahkan secara jasmani.

Itu bukan berbicara tentang menjadi seorang Buddha atau apapun. Jika Anda tidak bermeditasi selama satu hari, maka Anda tidak akan pernah pulih dari keletihan dan segala macam tekanan mental yang negatif dari masyarakat sepanjang sehari. Maka janganlah mengeluh kepada saya bahwa Anda letih, atau Anda begini begitu, atau meditasi Anda tidak cukup. Karena itulah harga yang harus Anda bayar. Pada mulanya Anda mungkin tidak mantap, tetapi semakin banyak Anda bermeditasi, maka Anda akan semakin merasa bahwa inilah satu-satunya metode. Sekarang sekalipun seseorang memberi Anda sejuta dolar untuk berganti Guru atau berganti metode, maka Anda pasti tidak akan bersedia. Anda tidak akan pernah. Karena Anda mengetahuinya; Anda tidak dapat berdusta. Anda tidak dapat berdusta dan mengatakan bahwa ini bukan metode untuk Anda. Sekalipun meditasi Anda kacau, tetapi Anda mengetahui bahwa itu adalah kesalahan Anda. [Guru dan hadirin tertawa] Anda sejujurnya mengetahui Kebenarannya.

Kemudian ketika Anda sedang introspeksi ke dalam: Metode Quan Yin adalah satu-satunya jalan, betul? Itu saja, titik, selesai, tanpa debat, tanpa “tetapi,” “bagaimanapun,” atau “namun.” Itu saja. Itulah perasaan yang kita miliki dalam hati kita, dan itulah yang kita ketahui, dan itulah satu-satunya hal yang pasti. Jadi jika Anda telah mengetahuinya, maka Anda telah mengetahuinya. Saya tidak perlu mengatakan apapun kepada Anda.

Maha Guru Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa, 19 Juni 1995

Yoga For Happiness

2009-10-05T08:49:00.000+07:00

Hatha Yoga teachers for their students often learn stress management techniques. Yet how their students learn to be happy, successful, and how to apply these principles in everyday life outside the Yoga class?

This is why we mention the word "practice" in a classroom environment - your life outside of class, at work, Commuting, traffic, and at home, is "real life." It's easy for me to learn how to relax, in a Yoga session, but how will react when you open the mail box or when you hear the daily news?

We know it's easy to let stress take over your life. In good economic times, people worry about moving fast enough to keep pace about them. In bad economic times, people worry about food, clothing and shelter.

In fact, worrying is a problem. Many of us look at something to worry for the moment we wake up from sleep. In this case, it is a matter of focusing the mind on what is really important. Some people refer to this as provides a goal, an achievement or success.

Some of my colleagues argue against teaching students to abundance and success. The general consensus is that Yoga students may abuse these techniques and become greedy. However, the world needs new people and goal oriented, right now.

My feeling is that the world needs more successfully than ever. If we have enough people who are prosperous, many of them will be charitable, as well. Here are some ideas to predict your success in life. You can reflect on them, meditate on them, or remind them, but you must act for them.

Be very specific about your goals. See yourself as successful. Feel what would be like to give to others who need your help. Write down your aspirations and be clear about what you want to meet. There may be some "twists and turns" in life, but do not let concern.

Keep your eyes "in the price." Many people get caught up in very disturbing to every obstacle in life. Let God take care of details. Life is not a great picture, a brush stroke. If you make a mistake, do your best to repair and move forward.

Be ready to "return to a degree." If you remember a road of success, to prepare for a road "long and winding." Do not let changes peeve, because you are navigating through unfamiliar territory. Imagine how Christopher Columbus felt when he saw "all this country."

Finally, look at an example of the success ethic. If possible, do some research as he or she made the achievements you desire. If you see a clear example of this, why should you have to "reinvent the wheel?" It is very easy to replicate success rather than to invent it from "scratch."

Yoga teaches us many things, but Yogic principles should be applied in real life situations. In this way, each of us will experience optimal health and true happiness.

Yoga And Te Manifestation Of Success

2009-10-04T20:47:00.001+07:00

Yogic In some circles, the word "success" is considered selfish. At the top of this, the concept of manifesting success could create the kind of personality that is concerned only with himself, and taking advantage of the situation, to the exclusion of others.

Knowing this - why should we be interested in Yoga practitioners in the manifestation of success? Think about this: polar opposite of success is failure. Yogis should be interested in the event of failure? Absolutely not, therefore, a Yoga practitioner should know how to avoid the event of failure.

Within each of us is empowered to anticipate and shape the world we live in power to create happiness is within you. Happiness is an absolute success. They, in itself, fear, success, have chosen to misery manifested in their lives.

In life, we may find ourselves in situations, which we chose. At this time, people have no power to prevent natural disasters. A case can be made that a more powerful vision, such as a war created together, our dreams can accept independent of hope, success, and happiness.

However, we should not give up on making the world a better place. In Yoga class, or religious centers, we can hope to clear, success and happiness in collective groups, as well. We can create healthy relationships with our families, friends and associates.

There seems to be a misconception that money equals success. Pity those who believe that, because the more valuable your property are your relationships, your health, your intelligence, and power to pray. If a person in a position of power, concerns about people become financially successful, what would you say that?

In short, some world leaders are consumed with fear of losing their power, which is most likely based on money. They see the world as a pie, "and they want the biggest slice possible. They can not see outside, or beyond, their vision for a limited part of the pie. This is an example of limited thinking.

In fact, the universe is filled with unlimited possibilities. Our problem is only open our eyes to see them. Sharing with others the grace and opens the door to unlimited possibilities. However, some people will do anything to avoid separation. They see sharing as lost profit.

To avoid sharing with others is a waste of humanity. Yoga within, has a certain rule of social discipline (Yaman), which we know as Aparigraha. Base Aparigraha is that we should not take more than we can use.

With that said, Yoga teaches us that true manifestation of success is in the act of separation.

Yoga is not a practice that has recently started, but has applied for many, many years and now people are reaping its benefits to date. Research and studies made over time have shown that if implemented the right way, yoga has the potential to be extremely useful during the healing process.

Therefore, time and again proven that yoga positions are good for newbies, positive effects on the body and are useful in order to maintain high level of joint flexibility. Although when you're starting, basic yoga and presents are simple, they gradually lead to a better lifestyle and improve what they are put into practice on a regular basis.

When you are starting from, you'll be learning some basic yoga presents, which include reducing presents, standing poses, balance and twisting, forward and back bends.

Being a beginner, something important that you need to remember and understand is that self-discipline. Yoga is practiced much more than presents. Do not mistake the movement for the more difficult stages without mastering basics, as you will not be able to get the most out of your practice.

The Benefits Of Yoga Meditation

2009-10-03T20:37:00.000+07:00

In a typical Yoga session, you may practice meditation at the beginning of class, at the end of class, or both. There are many methods of meditation, but Yoga practitioners usually learn breath awareness, visualization, or focusing on an object.

All forms of meditation lead to a calm mind and trained, in order to claim that a particular style of thinking is superior to all others, would not be correct. Some methods may be more "user friendly" than others. This can lead to thoughts about a meditation style better than another, but opinions are only a matter of preference.

If there is a solid benefit that we can observe from a meditation session, it is a state of concentration during meditation, and a state of relaxation after the session has ended. How can this be useful to a person and community in general?

A mind that is trained by meditation will tend to focus on completing tasks in the course of an average day. With all our technology, attention deficit disorder thrive. Diet and lifestyle also play a role, but gadgets put all "call".

Meditation and Yoga classes make it possible to unplug from all the technical equipment and software we encounter on a daily basis. However, there is a very important and powerful lessons in which Yoga and meditation can help all of us.

What is the number one cause of a poor quality of living? In words, this is "stress." High levels of stress can cause long-term health problems and early death. With that said - a combination of Yoga and meditation, working toward the creation of a peaceful mentality within each of us.

We know that emotional problems can cause illness. Clarity of thought allows one to make rational decisions during stressful periods. Let's face it, you can not have a life without stress, but with meditation, you can learn to solve problems that are related to stress.

Once a person learns to meditate, there is much less reason to consume intoxicants, which are frequently used to cope with high stress level. If you talk to any addict, he or she will accept the often abused alcohol, tranquilizers, and illegal drugs as a result of high levels of stress.

This may not seem to be a rational solution, but look at the number of customers that go to a liquor store in the course of a day. Compare how the number of students to participate in a Yoga class in the very same day. Remember: This will only cause of alcohol consumption. There are many more ways to numb the senses.

Important Rules To Avoid Yoga Injuries

2009-10-03T11:35:00.000+07:00

It never ceases to amaze me how many time I have seen seasoned yogis injure themselves when practicing yoga. This is independent of the type of yoga they practice and independent of how fit they are as well. So, it scares me to think that if this is the state of expert yogis what might be the state of those who are just beginning this wonderful science.

Well, do not worry in this article I will provide simple guidelines for 2 Which yoga practice will go a long way in helping you avoid unnecessary Injuries when doing your practice. After all, you decided to do yoga to get healthy and happy, it is totally unacceptable that such a gentle, healing science should become the source of your Injury and pain.

2 Simple Rules to Avoid Yoga Injuries:

1. Warm-up:

Although this is common sense, I have noticed the following special occasions when warm-up is unfortunately skipped and the Yogi ends up risking Injury. Here are these three occasions when you need to be especially vigilant and avoid getting Injured due to insufficient warm-up.

A. You are Late to Class:

Many times I see students who come in late to class jump right in and start doing the exercises and postures that the class is doing at full stream. This is a recipe for disaster. If you are late coming into a class which has already picked up Steam, you need to start out very slowly and gently till you feel ready to catch up with the rest of the students.

B. You are Giving a Demonstration Spot:

Often if you are a yoga teacher or even just a regular yoga student, occasions arise where you are asked to, or want to, give a quick demo of a pose or exercise. If you encounter this situation, immediately your Injury antenna should go up. This type of spot Demonstration is perhaps the most common reason for Injury. Do not try to show off at this time, but instead will nor the posture or exercise gently and Safely as you can. Trying to rally all of a Sudden Plow pose, is the best way to injure your back, or worse, break your neck.

C. You Do not Have Enough Time:

Here is another dangerous situation Which often leads to skipping a proper warm-up and jumping ahead to a challenging set or routine, when you do not have enough time to fit in your full practice. In this situation it is very important to make an adjustment to any routine and difficult posture and be Conservative with regard to how hard you go at it. Tone it down in such situations and live to practice another day.

2. Do not Compete:

Yoga is not an Olympic sport. It is not a tournament. It is not a competition. It is amazing how when you put a bunch of people together for the same activity, comparisons and judgments immediately come into the picture. As a Yogi, you have to remember the golden rule that yoga is just about you and you. It does not matter how anyone else is doing, it only matters how you are doing. Forget about competing and comparing with others and just do your practice, intelligently, mindfully and most import of all, Safely. Comparing often leads to pushing yourself further than you should have, which is perhaps the number one reason for incurring Injury.

Summary:

If you follow these 2 simple rules, of doing your warm-up no matter what and not overdoing it ever, I think you will enjoy a healthy and long-term yoga practice, the benefits of Which are immeasurable.

When you enter in the kingdom through the author's guidance, you also review them with your imagination, so that no two are exactly similar experience. You can use your imagination for great adventures, great meetings, fantastic stories, romance, poetry, building a house special or separate property, designing or inventing something that is not made earlier, or make something that already exists even better. From a small part of complicated machinery, colossal most awesome car, it was first imagined in the mind of someone.

Working with body wisdom gives you the meaning of changes necessary for health and welfare ideal. Working with heart wisdom, gives you an emotional sense. Working with the knowledge base and gives you land flow, and stability. Working with gives you the wisdom of universal access to universal dimensions, long vision, and expansion opportunities. If you stay connected so each step, an opening will be created or exposed that you did not know existed. You will make huge moves that will blow your thinking clearly limited by other dimensions.

You access wisdom by listening deeply with yourself. You allow yourself moments of silent contemplation. Then you trust information that is coming back. It may sound very cruel sometimes, but if it feels right even if others may think outrageous, go with the instructions as they are given to you.

The Secret Of Your Destiny

2009-09-28T23:10:00.002+07:00

We all know the famous quote which says that all man needs to live is food, clothing and shelter. Well, I would like to update this quote to include an article without which I think life can be considered dead. I think that phrase to say, that all man needs to live is food, clothing, shelter and meditation. Yes, meditation is an issue I think should be added to complete this phrase. This is because meditation is a tool with which to meet the real purpose of human birth, to find the truth, to find God.

Meditation becomes possible when food, clothing and shelter are managed. Naked Without these needs it is very difficult to embrace a practice of deep meditation and important. A hungry man with hungry children is not thinking about watching his mind, he thinks the source of his next meal. For those of us though, who have participated in these needs, there is no excuse for not starting a daily meditation practice.

Unfortunately, no knowledge about the thinking is widespread in today's society. Today is the objective to collect more and more wealth, power, fame and fortune. System values instead of supporting this approach. Rich, famous and powerful are respected, Adored and welcomed. They are held in high esteem and considered as a model for emulated. With this perspective attention is not returned in meditation and the fulfillment of human destiny more high, with this perspective is always self-direction aggrandization.

More, more, more would have been better if an end can say, I'm happy, satisfied and at peace. But, if one looks around, finds that this is just simply not the case. All around is misery, suffering, conflict, loneliness and disappointment. More, more, never ends and no matter how much we have, we soon get used to it and then want more.

I have friends who are very rich. They have more money and power, but I do not see them as rich at all. Internally they are very poor. They are unhappy, worried and stressed. No matter how much they seem to buy, not quenches their thirst for more. For me the answer is clear. Their life is missing meditation. Only by meditation can be quenched thirst, only with peace meditation can be found only with meditation can indeed be life goal completed.

To help see the truth of this should be closely inspected a life. One must ask, if achieving material goals had put himself in the past bring lasting happiness. In the life of inspection in this way can learn about the direction that has so far been received and determine if it is worth continuing in the same way.

In addition, the inspection itself, must learn from the lives of others. Observe those who have and see if they are significantly happier than those who do not. To this may be the last image appears they may represent happiness, for it is important for those who have much to give the appearance that all is well. Dig a little deeper, to go behind the scenes a little and comes from misery, it comes from anxiety, pain from coming. They want to be happy, wise and loving, then meditate.

If you have food, clothing and shelter, then this is enough. Stop chasing nothing more and turn your attention Interior. You have the potential to discover the treasures within, and I'm saying to dig this vast wealth hidden all you need is meditation.

In a typical Yoga session, you may practice meditation at the beginning of class, at the end of class, or both. There are many methods of meditation, but Yoga practitioners usually learn breath awareness, visualization, or focusing on an object.

All forms of meditation lead to a calm mind and trained, in order to claim that a particular style of thinking is superior to all others, would not be correct. Some methods may be more "user friendly" than others. This can lead to thoughts about a meditation style better than another, but opinions are only a matter of preference.

If there is a solid benefit that we can observe from a meditation session, it is a state of concentration during meditation, and a state of relaxation after the session has ended. How can this be useful to a person and community in general?

A mind that is trained by meditation will tend to focus on completing tasks in the course of an average day. With all our technology, attention deficit disorder thrive. Diet and lifestyle also play a role, but gadgets put all "call".

Meditation and Yoga classes make it possible to unplug from all the technical equipment and software we encounter on a daily basis. However, there is a very important and powerful lessons in which Yoga and meditation can help all of us.

What is the number one cause of a poor quality of living? In a word, it is "stress." High levels of stress can cause long-term health problems and early death. With that said - a combination of Yoga and meditation, working toward the creation of a peaceful mentality within each of us.

We know that emotional problems can cause illness. Clarity of thought allows one to make rational decisions during stressful periods. Let's face it, you can not have a life without stress, but with meditation, you can learn to solve problems that are related to stress.

Once a person learns to meditate, there is much less reason to consume intoxicants, which are frequently used to cope with high stress level. If you talk to any addict, he or she will accept the often abused alcohol, tranquilizers, and illegal drugs as a result of high levels of stress.

This may not seem to be a rational solution, but look at the number of customers that go to a liquor store in the course of a day. Compare how the number of students to participate in a Yoga class in the very same day. Remember: This will only cause of alcohol consumption. There are many more ways to numb the senses.

Final: Yoga and meditation offer rational solutions without negative side effects, but the community at large must be educated to see the value.

The Law Of Attraction

2009-09-26T08:42:00.002+07:00

So now you have probably heard about the Law of Attraction movement. It is a concept that says that you may have, or will be everything you want, no matter how great it can be.
Law of Attraction is an extremely simple concept that we have heard all before. Simply put it in 'Like attracts Like.
In very simple terms Law of Attraction says that what you think and what you think is what you will attract. This looks too simple to be true, but with only a few small experimentation you will be able to prove this for yourself.
In order to do that you will need some basic principles.

Principle # 1 Universe is Neutral
Universe does not care or even realize that you may want and need. It simply exists and elements that exist within it operate under very basic rules. 'Like attracts like' is one of those rules.
In order to use the Law of Attraction deliberately you must develop a level of self-awareness that you avoid negative thoughts and focus on the positive. One of the problems that many people experience is the fact that they are constantly thinking about what they want.

Principle # 2 What you think and what you feel is what you get
Universe does not hear "I do not want the debt. She hears only the object of thought, which in this case was 'debt'. Thoughts have a certain amount of energy, but real feelings of the project more energy, so the universe will respond to what you think about what you think. Remember that this is a process and that you will spend some time and the identification of deleting the old thoughts, habits and patterns. When you see something you would like to have and immediately think "I will not be able to afford it", just remember that it may take time. Do not beat yourself up over negative case like this. Just do not forget that this has to do with learning a new way to think and feel.

Principle # 3 You need to ask for what you want
When you think of something you want you order your project. When you write what you want you are projecting a strong order giving more power to your purpose. When you make time each day to visualize and experience what you want to show the Universe is exactly what you want to attract.

Principle # 4 You must give yourself permission to take
This is a step that many people have a difficult time with. They may ask for something such as love, happiness or money, but in their hearts they can not believe that they deserve it. No matter what you ask, if you do not believe you can get it! If you can not honestly imagine yourself in that situation then the Universe will not clear for you. This leads to the next step.

Principle # 5 You should be approach with what you are asking
Say a prayer, cast magic, light a candle or some incense, visualize, affirm, see the classifieds, get a new outfit, everything. DO something that guides you to get what you want. Take action. Act as if you already have money or love or car or whatever. Live as if your desire has already manifested. Give much more energy to your order if you back it with action.

Principle # 6 start at a level that is reliable for you
Universe is unlimited in its potential. Universe does not know the size or amounts or depth or any other qualifier. These are all human qualifications that we place on things. Only sees energy Universe. With this in mind you should technically, be able to immediately manifest a million dollars, or a new home or a new spouse. In fact most of us have to build up demand for great things, and that is perfectly good. They have faith in your process and not worry about how you would clear, only trust and get on with it. Start with something small and develop your skills. The more you use it and have better success you will be able to make the law of attraction work for you.

Principle # 7 Have fun with this
Life is an amazing experience. Every day you are surrounded by miracles and wonders. Enjoy it! Be happy and experiment. Try new things, seek to play more with the world as if it was your toy and spread that joy and love and laughter and then look at what is showing.

Take some time and experiment with these simple concepts. Feel free to experiment and let us play and enjoy the process. This should not be hard or difficult, life in abundance and unlimited Universe is not intended to be so. Feel good and to follow your bliss.

Train Your Brain And Get whatever You Want

2009-09-26T08:24:00.001+07:00

Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and waves that are detectable using EEG or electroencephalogram.

EEG is a medical device that measures brainwave activity. These 4 brain waves move around transmitting neuro-electric tension in the brain. These are just iota - super small voltages, maybe only a fraction of a millionth of a volt.

Alpha wave movement in particular around about 10 times per second, with a cycle of 8-13 per second.

The Alpha brain waves were discovered, before the other 3, sometime in 1908 by Hans Berger, a Psychiatrist from Austria, so named Alpha, referring to the first letter in the Greek alphabet, which the scientists of old, even to now invoke the names of the findings.

The group of scientists have devoted their time to research to capture brain waves in EEG, in essence, has more material on what Alpha waves are, what causes them to surface and withdrew our brain. They are not always around, they really come and go.

Alpha brain waves are non-existent in deep sleep. If anyone is also very concerned as he is scared or irate, Alpha brain waves are again found anywhere. Another kind, Delta brain waves appear only when one is in the deepest of which is classified slumbers under phases 3 and 4.

Theta waves, on the other hand, come to the fore during the beginning or period of light sleep, classified according to different sleep stages 1 and 2. Alpha waves make them a repeat every time it is awake, but in a calm and non-stressful view.

Frequency brain waves Beta take stage in very tense circumstances, when the brain can not concentrate and it is difficult to control those emotions.

Among all the brain waves, delta waves are slow, moving only at a very low speed of 0-4 cycles / second. Theta waves go faster level, 4-7 cycles / second.

Alpha waves, still slightly faster than both, oscillating 8 to13 times every second. Beta quick action in 13 to 40 rounds / second). All types of activity occurs in the human brain, particularly those records reaction volley brain response to sensory stimuli, eg., A musical tone, a sound clip, a short contact, or just a light generation.

They issued four basic brain waves; Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and waves are considered standard EEG brain transmissions.

What was the point mentioned above individual roles of 4 types of brain waves in the human condition of mind or level of consciousness. Any type of brain wave, if Alpha, Beta, or Delta Theta, is related to a different level.

When and if one of them does not work, or we can not call it work, we met some problems and irregularities, say that if we can not coax or Theta waves Delta waves on the surface, we are forced to suffer from insomnia. If, fortunately, a person can turn either of them, it is considered lucky or talented mentally.

Allows 4 roles translate brain waves with those of the essential gears of a machine. Delta, which is the slowest, can be compared with the first gear. Clothing will be second Theta waves, which is the second slowest by four.

Alpha waves in turn, will shift to third. Rapid brain waves are waves Beta fourth gear. One can not successfully drive a car from one point to another by only a garment that you will need to change as needs. A wrong gear and you are in deep trouble.

If you are a gas guzzler of a driver, you start off in first gear and accelerate the fourth without going through the second and third. This will cost you more in gas and maintenance. This is how it works in our brains also. It is sad how people can abuse their brain mechanism. They go for the Beta Delta and shift without moving through Alpha and Theta brain waves.

This must be the reason why hundreds of people suffer from a mental low production, or even worse, they need expensive medical care more often.

Allows you to give an example of how this happens in everyday life. In the morning, sounding an alarm clock rouses us from deep sleep which is dominated by Delta brain waves. Once on our feet, we are busy with anxiety (which is harbored by Beta waves) in connection with the tardy.

Are We already stressed this at the beginning of the day. Not only that, we fill caffeine in our system, after a sleepless night to increase our level of vigilance (Beta wave action). Caffeine does increase and marginal Alpha Theta waves, waves to promote Beta level.

We work under pressure all day, absorb more stress and a pursuit of precious time (more exposure Beta). This situation lasts until evening, until we drop dead-tired on the bed and fall asleep from fatigue in deep (directly to Delta activation wave).

There is barely enough time to relax, release negative energy, feel comfortable and enjoy a drowsy lull, then drift off to sleep. The appropriate transition events will employ reasonable amount necessary and Alpha and Theta waves. Sad, but we jump prematurely from Delta to Beta in the morning, stay all day under Beta and return (early again) to Delta at night. And this happens every day of our lives!

Generation of Alpha brain waves is a natural ability of human brain, but the hustle and bustle of everyday strife preoccupy our minds that we have distributed the entire process. This sets us prone to anxiety and stress thresholds that are emotional and psychological disorders, posing risks to our immune system.

A sufficient supply of Alpha brain waves spares us from anxiety. This means more Alpha waves generated can give such a negative feeling and to help develop healthy immune system. More waves of Alpha brain at work means better health and welfare for all.

Expanding those creativity is another area where Alpha brain waves can work positively. It has been proven that brainwaves of very creative people are different from those with mediocre and average individuals.

Creativity is calling for a supply of numerous and continuous alpha brain waves, mainly by the left brain ones, especially when presented with a challenge to overcome. This is an inherent ability of creative people, a great message for the ordinary.

Another area where Alpha brain waves to be available is excelling in any effort that you choose. Sports analysts and scientists have recorded the conduct of the peak is always preceded by an influx of alpha brain waves, and as creative people, even on the left side of the brain.

This is emphasized in many professional athletes, compared with newcomers. Right before the decisive moments in their game, seasoned athletes convene an increase in Alpha waves in the left side of their brain. Future athletes do not exhibit this pattern of Alpha brain waves.

There are cases, however, where trained and showed remarkable improvement with increased ability to produce Alpha waves in the left side of the brain.

In this day and age, where nothing is free and all the world clamors for your time, being able to increase your production of alpha brain waves would certainly be very useful.

Left brain Alpha waves help against stress, strengthening your immune system. Moreover, Today's cut throat competition calls for creativity to succeed. This also can be addressed if you can affect brain waves Alfa flood your brain.

For budding sports medalists, being able to influence the production of alpha brain waves also increases they play.

2009-09-22T22:06:00.000+07:00

Protagonis adalah peran yang sangat penting dalam perkembangan gaya meditasi adalah Karmelit St Teresa dari Avila. Dia bukan Karmelit dari Kongregasi. Dia datang dan dilahirkan di kota bernama Avila di Spanyol dan hidup antara tahun 1515-1582.
Metode sekolah Spiritualitas Carmelite ini dibagi menjadi beberapa bagian. Sangat mudah diingat dan "berlaku" untuk semua situasi. Tema dan bahan meditasi dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan kita. Selain waktu yang dibutuhkan dalam meditasi ini juga relatif pendek. Bagi mereka yang sudah terbiasa dengan berjalan waktu meditasi yang baik dan memungkinkan untuk berkonsentrasi dengan penuh 30 menit. Pertama, waktu yang digunakan sesuai dengan situasi dan pilihan-pilihan Anda.

Meditasi Langkah

a. Persiapan
Pada awal dari meditasi, kita mempersiapkan hati kita untuk menyadari kehadiran kita di hadapan Allah. Kami juga telah menyadari, kita memiliki diri kita kepada Tuhan. Komt de overtuiging en ervaring die je echt gaan zitten voor God en uw God's aanwezigheid gevoeld in het begin van deze meditatie. Bukti konkret yang dapat diketahui pengalaman anda keheningan itu sendiri.

b. Menentukan tema meditasi
Pada kenyataannya, dalam menentukan tema meditasi ini dapat dilakukan sebelum anda bermeditasi. Hal ini harus diperhitungkan dalam menentukan tema atau memilih dari Alkitab perikopa di sini adalah bahwa tema perikopa atau meditasi sesuai dengan situasi yang Anda butuhkan. Hal ini penting karena meditasi ini adalah untuk membawa buah bagi kehidupan nyata Anda. Pada artikel ini kita akan melihat perikopa lebih lanjut berikatnya tema yang berbeda dan kita dapat menggunakan sebagai bahan atau tema meditasi
Pada tahap ini Anda harus sudah tahu materi harus digunakan sebagai sarana refleksi dalam meditasi. Jadi dalam langkah ini tidak ragu-ragu atau merasa bingung belum menentukan bahan akan digunakan sebagai tema meditasi.

c. Merenungkan Kitab Suci
Beberapa langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan dalam Kitab Suci yang mencerminkan:
- Baca perlahan-lahan
- Dengarkan dengan hati-hati membaca dengan lebih menekankan pada sifat, lokasi atau tempat, suasana dan orang-orang yang terlibat dalam peristiwa, tindakan dan reaksi.
- Dalam keheningan, kami mempertimbangkan atau berpikir tentang isi perikopa. Dalam Alkitab perikopa mencerminkan beberapa faktor penting ini membutuhkan perhatian, imajinasi, mendengarkan, merasakan dan refleksi.

d. Dialog dengan Rakyat
Langkah berikutnya adalah untuk menentukan angka-angka yang dianggap cocok atau sesuai untuk situasi Anda. Angka ditampilkan sebagai figur yang ingin ditiru. Dengan angka ini Anda dapat berbicara atau dialog.

Mohon ampun atas segala kesalahan saya yang kurang Setia Mengikuti Engkau. Hari ini aku berniat untuk hidup saya lebih memperbaharuai pengikut setia dll.

The Usual Mistakes When We Meditate

2009-09-20T22:08:00.002+07:00

Meditation Meditate - Meditation Breathing - Vipassana Meditation - Mindfulness Meditation - Relaxation Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Loving Kindness Meditation - Meditation Inner Peace
It is endless delays error. So let's understand this harmful behavior and also how to change it, so it can be removed as an obstacle forever.

Wrongly delays:

Lord Buddha said: "There are only 2 mistakes you can make in life. The first error would not take the first step and the second is that it has taken the first step, not to go all the way."

I am surprised how few take the first step. Many people who speak and read about religion, spirituality, Zen, yoga, meditation, etc. really did not start a personal meditation program. They even come to me and discuss these issues in great detail, but fail to do it. Meditation, in this respect, is just like exercise, you can read every book in the gym, but until you break a sweat you will have zero benefits.

There are very deep and now known medical benefits of meditation. Evidence is more and more emerge as meditation helps to reduce stress, cure disease, increase concentration, to increase the capacity of the brain and improve your quality of life, but to enjoy these benefits you need to exercise. Reading and talking all the world will not help, you need to get busy to do so.

Solutions for delays:

There are several steps which may help should you end your practice habit of procrastinating and begin meditation. Here are the recommendations for you.

1. Start small: Do not try to sit in meditation for an hour a day right off bat. It simply would be too. Although the initial burst of inspiration you can get you to do this too early, it will be very difficult to maintain that intensity for long. The benefits of meditation are not immediate, they are earned over time so a sustainable practice is necessary. Therefore, start with what you can easily manage and then build from there. This will help you enjoy your practice more and also drive it less.

2. Create a meditation space: Create a small space in your home that you will use for your meditation practice. Keep there almost everything, so it is easy and attractive for you to start your daily session. Place there anything that inspires you and keep has your pillow, etc., so that when it is time for your little practice you should do in order to get it started. This will go a long way in preventing thoughts opportunity to dissuade you from taking your daily spiritual work in

3. Stop procrastinating in general: procrastination is truly a disease. This will delay and prevent you living your life fully. So stop this habit, not only in the context of your meditation practice, but in general. Try your very best to do what must be done immediately without concern for humor. Just moved from an activity that requires your attention next, answering the call of the moment and you will find yourself building terrific momentum.

This moment will then pass on all aspects of your life, including the most important, your daily practice of meditation. More things to do as soon as the time is right, more you will find yourself free from the disease of procrastination. Free of this disease, your life will open, your meditation practice will blossom and you will certainly fulfill your highest destiny.

Meditasi jalan atau Walking Meditation

2009-09-20T22:04:00.000+07:00

Dikegiatan penyunyian kita berlaku, yogi mempraktekkan meditasi kesadaran (Vipassana) dengan menggunakan empat sikap yang berbeda.

Mereka berlatih kesadaran ketika berjalan, berdiri, duduk dan berbaring. Mereka harus mengembangkan sepenuhnya sadar pada setiap saat dalam segala situasi.

Sikap utama tubuh dalam meditasi kesadaran duduk bersila dengan punggung lurus. Namun yogi's umumnya sulit untuk duduk berjam-jam tanpa mengubah posisi. Jadi kami akan mengganti waktu duduk meditasi adalah jalan meditasi.

Karena meditasi ini sangat penting artinya untuk diskusi lebih lanjut.

Diskusi tentang manfaat, pentingnya dan kondisi alam yang dapat ditafsirkan sebagai suatu cara praktek meditasi.

Praktek meditasi kesadaran dapat dibandingkan dengan air mendidih. Pertama kita mengisi air di teko. Kemudian kendi diletakkan di atas kompor dan kompor dinyalakan.

Air mendidih sebelum ia meletakkan kompor. Sementara kompor dimatikan sejenak dan kemudian berbalik lagi untuk sementara, air dalam panci tidak mendidih segera.

Jika hal ini terus berlanjut, nonaktifkan dan set kompor (sebelum air mendidih) air dalam panci tidak akan pernah mendidih.

Demikian pula, jika jeda atau kesenjangan antara kesadaran kita tidak bisa membangun konsentrasi yang layak.

Itu sebabnya para yogi yang berada dalam kendali kami ditugaskan untuk membangun kesadaran sepanjang waktu. Dari ketika aku terbangun dari tidur di pagi hari untuk tidur di malam hari. Dengan cara ini praktek meditasi bersama kesadaran yang berkelanjutan.

Namun, kami telah mendengar dari orang-orang yang mengkritik praktek meditasi jalan. Kritikus ini mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak mendapatkan hasil yang baik atau manfaat dari latihan meditasi jalan.

Memang, Buddha adalah orang pertama yang lay out ini praktek meditasi jalan.

Diskusi meditasi cara dia bergerak dua kali. The "bagian" yang disebut "sikap" Dia mengatakan bahwa seorang yogi tahu, "aku berlari", ketika ia berjalan, kau tahu, "Aku", karena ia, tahu "Aku", ketika ia duduk dan tahu kemudian mereka berbohong seperti "aku berbohong".

Di bagian lain dari "pemahaman yang jelas" Sang Buddha berkata: "Seorang biksu dengan pemahaman yang jelas ketika Anda berjalan kembali dan sebagainya. Tujuan dari "pemahaman yang jelas" di sini adalah pemahaman yang benar dari semua yang diamati.

Dengan pemahaman yang benar dari pengamatan seorang yogi dapat membangun konsentrasi.

Membangun merger harus menggunakan pikirannya. Sang Buddha juga mengatakan: "Para biarawan digunakan jernihmu konsep.

Kita harus menyadari bukan hanya pemahaman yang jelas, tetapi juga kesadaran dan konsentrasi sambil berjalan bolak-balik. Jadi, meditasi jalan merupakan bagian penting dari proses ini.

Meskipun Buddha tidak ada instruksi khusus dan informasi tentang meditasi untuk memberikan (hanya sebuah deskripsi singkat termasuk dalam Sutta), kami percaya bahwa Dia telah memberikan instruksi secara bersamaan.

Indikasi itu dianggap oleh para murid Sang Buddha dan diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya.

Selain guru sebelumnya memiliki "resep" berdasarkan pengalaman meditasi mereka sendiri.

Saat ini kami memiliki serangkaian petunjuk yang ketat tentang cara mempraktekkan meditasi jalan.

Mari kita bahas khususnya praktek meditasi jalan. Jika Anda memulai guru akan disarankan untuk melihat secara penuh pada suatu hal dalam praktek meditasi jalan, "Sadar kaki sambil rekaman kota yang berjalan ... .. ... .. go go. ... Atau kiri-kanan-kiri-kanan ... ... "

Perlu diingat bahwa Anda berjalan lebih lambat dari biasanya ketika ia pergi berlatih meditasi.

Setelah beberapa jam atau setelah satu atau dua hari untuk bermeditasi, Anda akan diarahkan ke dua tahap dalam langkah, langkah dan meletakkan kaki Anda. Ini harus tetap dalam pikiran, angkat-up-up ... up .... Lift-tempat ".

Anda benar-benar harus melihat proses dua langkah. Maka Anda mendapat instruksi untuk pelaksanaan dari tiga proses yang berjalan, proses mengangkat pertama, kedua dan ketiga untuk meningkatkan proses kaki.

Maka Anda mendapatkan instruksi lebih lanjut sepenuhnya menyadari empat tahapan dalam proses langkah yang merupakan urutan pertama, kedua maju, ketiga turun, keempat sentuh atau memindahkan pijakan.

Anda akan diperintahkan untuk gerakan batin empat, angkat-up-dan-turun-tekan ".

Sebagai pemula para yogi akan sulit untuk berjalan perlahan-lahan. Tetapi ketika ia benar-benar perhatian yang baik, ia bisa mencapai semua gerakan.

Jadi semakin lama dia menerima perhatian penuh. Saat itulah secara otomatis ia berjalan perlahan-lahan. Tidak perlu sengaja memperlambat kakinya. Namun, dengan perhatian penuh dari kaki secara otomatis melambat.

Aku akan menjadi mirip dengan pernyataan di atas untuk menjelaskan. Selama berkendara di jalan raya kecenderungan untuk mempercepat kendaraan pada kecepatan 60-70 atau bahkan 80 mil per jam. Dengan kecepatan seperti itu akan sulit baginya untuk membaca tanda-tanda, lalu lintas di jalan. Jika dia ingin membaca tanda-tanda ini ia telah memperlambat kendaraan. Tidak perlu untuk mengingatkan siapa pun, "rendah-pelanlah. Namun, pengemudi akan secara otomatis memperlambat kendaraan untuk benda-benda.

Dengan konsep yang sama, sebagai seorang yogi ingin memberi perhatian lebih pada gerakan mengangkat maju, turun dan turun, ia akan secara otomatis memperlambat kakinya. Hanya dengan perlahan-lahan ia dapat sepenuhnya waspada dan menyadari gerakan kaki.

The Secret Of Meditation

2009-09-20T21:55:00.002+07:00

We all know the famous quote which says that all man needs to live is food, clothing and shelter. Well, I would like to update this quote to include an article without which I think life can be considered dead. The phrase I think I have to say, that all man needs to live is food, clothing, shelter and meditation. Yes, meditation is an issue I think should be added to complete this phrase. This is because meditation is a tool with which to meet the real purpose of human birth, to find the truth, to find God.

Meditation becomes possible when food, clothing and shelter are managed. Naked Without these needs it is very difficult to embrace a practice of deep meditation and important. A hungry man with hungry children is not thinking about watching his mind, he thinks the source of his next meal. For those of us though, who have participated in these needs, there is no excuse for not starting a daily meditation practice.

Unfortunately, no knowledge about the thinking is widespread in today's society. Today is the objective to collect more and more wealth, power, fame and fortune. System values instead of supporting this approach. Rich, famous and powerful are respected, Adored and welcomed. They are held in high esteem and considered as a model for emulated. With this perspective attention is not returned in meditation and the fulfillment of human destiny more high, with this perspective is always self-direction aggrandization.

More, more, more would have been better if an end can say, I'm happy, satisfied and at peace. But, if one looks around, finds that this is just simply not the case. All around is misery, suffering, conflict, loneliness and disappointment. Other, more, never ends and no matter how much we have, we soon get used to it and then want more.

I have friends who are very rich. They have more money and power, but I do not see them as rich at all. Internally they are very poor. They are unhappy, worried and stressed. No matter how much they seem to buy, not quenches their thirst for more. For me the answer is clear. Their life is missing meditation. Only by meditation can be quenched thirst, only with peace meditation can be found only with meditation can indeed be life goal completed.

To help see the truth of this should be closely inspected a life. One must ask, if achieving material goals had put himself in the past bring lasting happiness. In the life of inspection in this way can learn about the direction that has so far been received and determine if it is worth continuing in the same way.

In addition, the inspection itself, must learn from the lives of others. Observe those who have and see if they are significantly happier than those who do not. For this you may have to see past the image of happiness, they may represent, for it is important for those who have much to give the appearance that all is well. Dig a little deeper, to go behind the scenes a little and comes from misery, it comes from anxiety, pain from coming. They want to be happy, wise and loving, then meditate.

If you have food, clothing and shelter, then this is enough. Stop chasing nothing more and turn your attention Interior. You have the potential to discover the treasures within, and I'm saying to dig this vast wealth hidden all you need is meditation.

The power of Concentration

2009-09-20T08:58:00.000+07:00

Meditation is an invaluable and proven science to optimize health and raises the quality of his life. This not only promotes physical health, but also significantly improves emotional balance and psychological wellbeing. There are many types of thinking and in this article we will examine the powerful and popular Concentration Meditation Technique.

Focusing Meditation technique:

These are probably the most common and well know all the meditations and meditation is often determined by these types of meditations only. They are closely related to Insight Meditation technique, with the difference that the Insight Meditation techniques use active application discovery and justification, Concentration and Meditation techniques use the power of focused attention on a larger scale. In a certain extent these meditations Meditations Insight lay the groundwork for the need for a high degree of concentration, as a prerequisite for being effective.

1. Breath Meditation Technique (Zazen):

Heart of Zen is Zazen Meditation, meditation of the Buddha. In this meditation, bring awareness and focus are in the process of breathing to help build mastery over the mind and no system of dualistic thinking.

To practice Zazen takes a sitting position and then begins to count half the flow of voice. Counting each inhalation and exhalation, starting from one to ten. Thus, an inhalation is one other smoke is two, and so on. When you reach a count of ten, the return to a counting and starts again. This helps to focus the mind and prevents him from endless shuttling from one thought to another.

As one develops the ability to count from one to ten undistracted, and begins to count each breath cycle, instead of inhalation and exhalation separately. Until now a prosecution for an inhalation and exhalation as one full breath as the other two and so on until reaches ten. After reaching ten, the return to a repetition and meditation.

In the advanced form of Zazen, simply become a breath. In this enumeration form is completely dropped and only the diligent awareness of the spirit is preserved. There should progress at this level until one has mastered the previous two.

Zazen Meditation helps develop breath power of focused concentration and creates a calm, peaceful mind capable of penetrating the veil of dualistic thinking.

2. Other breathing Vipassana meditation is based on:

In an extended Vipassana by a lower consciousness, body and feelings that rise and fall inside. The objective is to have insight into the workings of the mind through self-observation. This form of meditation is also known as Insight Meditation helps develop an insight into the true nature of things.

3. Object Concentration Meditation Technique:

Yoga Tips for Time Management

2009-09-17T20:34:00.002+07:00

Meditation Meditate - Meditation Breathing - Vipassana Meditation - Mindfulness Meditation - Relaxation Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Loving Kindness Meditation - Meditation Inner Peace
Yoga can be exercised in a way that allows you to make optimal use of time? Do you know someone who is constantly late, stressed, and unorganized? Usually, we hear about time management in a corporate environment, but can apply Yoga Yogic principles organized in your everyday life. After all, Yoga has helped to reduce clutter in your mind.

Perception of a manager "time poor" is somebody who can not fit a lot more responsibility on the "course of his or her." If we are always late, it is seen as a sign of disrespect for those who are waiting for us. If we do not show respect for those who are counting on us, we will be challenged to earn their respect.

Mutual respect is one of the most precious qualities of a healthy relationship. Without this quality, dry and becomes strained relations. This principle applies to any relationship you have, whether it be a family member, friend, co-worker, or an insight.

1. Keep your promises. Never make a promise you can not fulfill. You will ruin your reputation, taking on projects that you can not be completed. There is a line within Bhagavatam Srimad, which can be translated as: "If I will not keep this promise, I will enter fire atone for my sin."

There is no need to jump into the fire, but you can learn to say "No", instead of making phony promises. A missed appointment, term, promise, there is a way to build a poor reputation that none of us wants.

2. Do tasks you prefer to delay first. The rest of your day is like "being off" later. In Bhagavad Gita, there is a translation in English which says: "They procrastinate, which can be done in a moment they drag on for years. Workers are placed in such a way of ignorance."

For centuries, limbo was a quality of laziness. A strong case can be made that procrastination is a gateway to laziness. A life lesson is clear: Nothing can remove opportunities for success better than crawling.

3. Plan your day, prioritize and unabashed about it. Fear seems to hold us back from planning for the future. Many of us live in fear of what tomorrow may bring. It is said that Swami Vivekananda Sanskrit word translated "Abhih" to mean "be brave." Predict tomorrow's vision of a good day.

Do not fear unjustified keep you and your family back. You deserve to succeed in life. Yoga teaches us to live a balanced life. Irrational fear is guaranteed to affect your balance.

Motivation is a life changing force. When a doctor realizes the benefits of meditation, and become motivated enough to create a sacred space for, chances are he or she will continue to exercise for years to come.

One advantage to make a place for your meditation practice is when circumstances change. Sometimes, our sleep patterns change or become rough weather. At this point, it is good to sit in a quiet place and meditate in a particular place.

Practicing meditation House With Pets

Below is a history of meditation and an experiment for pet owners. Common practice is to leave aside thinking animals. It has been my observation that most animals tend to approach us quiet while we are meditating. If a new puppy is in this house, this may not always be so, but mature dogs developed a good feeling when people need space.

In the case of domestic cats, it has been my experience that they were attracted, as magnets, human thinking that is practiced. If it hinders you, by all means close the door in the room are thinking, but do not be surprised if your cat scratches or cries easily in other side of the door. Sometimes, dogs react in a similar way.

At one time, we had five cats in our house - three above and two lived lived downstairs. Cats can sometimes be very territorial about their floor or space. Unlike dogs, cats usually do not have a leader or a package of collective social network. Some cats prefer their company, but usually know people who feed them.

Even though I practice thinking in many places, I usually falls in the living room floor in the morning, at night, or both. No doors to living room, so the cats have free access. Since the beginning of practicing meditation on the floor, cats sit on the floor within arms reach.

When we had five cats, it was not unusual for them to declare a ceasefire and park near the man himself meditating. Interestingly, they will begin to purr in unison.

For cats, purring is a sign of their pure pleasure. After the meditation session was over, everything returned to normal gradually and resumed their territorial borders. It seems that our meditation practice affects everything around us for good.

Relaxing Your Senses to Practice Meditation

2009-09-14T17:23:00.002+07:00

Meditation Meditate - Meditation Breathing - Vipassana Meditation - Mindfulness Meditation - Relaxation Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Loving Kindness Meditation - Meditation Inner Peace
There are methods that help your body unwind before a meditation session. A bathroom, shower, massage, and practice Assan have one thing in common - relax muscles as a result. When muscles are relaxed, it is much easier to meditate.

In a typical Hatha Yoga class, it is common to practice meditation at the end of class. Some teachers choose to guide students through a meditation, in the beginning and end of class. In Kundalini class, students perform flow movement between asanas, but usually does not hold a static position.

Regardless of the methods practiced, students practice meditation with their muscles relaxed, notice a marked difference in their meditation sessions. Tense muscles create a tense mind which makes difficult the introspective experience better.

Feelings of sight, smell, and sound also play a role in your meditation practice. Each of us is different, so what works for one person might not work for another. Therefore, the natural answer to your senses, without worry or conflict.

Sight: Should be Your Eyes Closed or open?

Some people have no problem with meditating and keeping their eyes open. We call this technique "sustainable vision" meditation in English, but it is also called Tratak, Trataka, or Drishti. Despite the term used, or the style of Yoga you practice, seeing is soft, but focused on a particular point.

Sustainable thinking is said to look to improve vision, and it definitely is useful for its ability to focus the mind. It seems that someone who can successfully practice meditation lasting visibility, will not encounter any difficulties with other methods. Teachers resist labeling techniques, but meditation is a stable viewing of advanced meditation technique.

Smell: Candles and Incense

Some practitioners use candles or incense thinking during their practice, while others like the feeling completely. If you use scents, they should be light and should not cause a distraction. Just like any other sensation, smells can be overwhelming.

If a group is using candles for continuous viewing of meditation, it would be advisable to use unscented candles. It is guaranteed that, at least, a class member will be sensitive to the smell of aromatic candles.

Sound: Music and Guided Meditation CD

For some people, everything should be smooth. They require complete silence. They disconnect the phone, put their pets away, and practice meditation in complete silence. There is nothing wrong with this, but the world is full of sound.

Traffic, crickets, birds, children or family members to wake up, not the end of the world. Music and CD guided meditation, played easily, tend to merge into the background and sounds drown attention at the same time.

However, each of us is different, you might want to experiment to know that CDs work for you or against you. There is no right or wrong, but frustrated over the sound of life is an internal conflict, which could lead to higher levels of stress, illness, or worse.

A part of the reason for a meditation practice is to develop states of tranquility and inner peace. The last thing you want to do is turn into a meditation internal conflict - or conflict with anything.Meditation Meditate - Meditation Breathing - Vipassana Meditation - Mindfulness Meditation - Relaxation Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Loving Kindness Meditation - Meditation Inner Peace

The Method to Meditation

Some common examples of meditating on a function are - breath awareness meditation and walking meditation. There are other lesser know examples, such as meditating while painting, drawing, drumming, writing, dancing, and many more creative pursuits.

In Yoga classes, the most common of the above-mentioned meditation techniques is breath awareness meditation. If you sit quietly in an isolated room, without any background noise, and close your eyes, it is easy to become aware of your breathing.

This is a function we give very little thought to, unless we are trained to make breathing more important in our lives. Some coaches of competitive sports, train athletes to focus on the importance of dynamic breathing techniques. The difference in an athlete's performance can be quite dramatic.

An athlete becomes more balanced during a performance, as a result of focusing on breath awareness. He or she can perform better, longer, faster, and stronger, due to controlling his or her breath during competition and practice.

If you want to practice breath awareness meditation, sitting up straight is the beginning of preparation. You can perform this anywhere you go. Some of my students perform breath awareness while waiting to meet their physician.

Many people rush to a doctor's appointment, only to wait in one room and then wait in another. Waiting to see a surgeon for an appointment, or check up, can last hours. Instead of creating anxiety in the waiting room, and the exam room, one can practice meditation, which results in optimum blood pressure readings and a relaxed frame of mind.

You can perform breath awareness meditation in a chair, when you are in public places, or on the floor at home. The primary emphasis is to focus on your navel, expanding out slowly during inhales, and to slowly draw the navel in toward the spine on exhales.

If a student has spent a lifetime of breathing incorrectly, it may be better to focus on slowly drawing the navel in toward the spine during exhalations and relaxing during the inhalations.

As you continue this practice, become aware of the expansion and contraction of your lungs in every possible direction. There is no force needed. This is just a natural breath, but with time your lungs will be able to expand completely.

This method can be practiced with eyes opened or closed. It is most commonly taught with the eyes closed; most students become more aware of sound when the eyes are closed. If this happens to you, experience the sounds of life, and do not judge them.

Your sessions can be as long as you like, but five minutes is a good start. When teaching this method to groups in auditoriums, and meeting rooms, participants remark at how much better they feel after a five minute introduction to breath awareness. This is why you commonly see this meditation method taught in introductory Yoga classes.Meditation Meditate - Meditation Breathing - Vipassana Meditation - Mindfulness Meditation - Relaxation Meditation - Buddhist Meditation - Loving Kindness Meditation - Meditation Inner Peace

Reading color atmosphere can teach you much about a person or even for yourself, and can inform you how someone is feeling, what they're doing, or what kind of person they are. The mistake that many people make when learning to read auras is thinking about color definitions are cut and dried.

Learn about color meanings is a complex and time consuming process all by itself. If you are trying to learn about the meanings of color, you will have to study how each individual shadow takes its form and meaning what you are.

You can think of an atmosphere, in a way, like a coat of many colors. While most people have a color scheme prevalent in their auras, there are many different possible variations.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it may have an effect on you, so it is wise to be aware of this.

1) color touch Auras

It is possible to have a different color your tingeing your atmosphere. If someone else has strong feelings about who you are or who you should be, then they can put some of their energy in your aura, which can affect the color.

If your father wants you to go to law school and puts pressure on you to do this, its energy can infect your atmosphere. If you are not aware of how to clean it, then you can end up with a great deal of confusion and internal turmoil due to dirt or residue in your atmosphere.

2) Some basic colors and meanings

The teachings of yoga is added before the concept of universal connectedness: another fundamental principle of practice. The stories that flow from these texts also became allegories that formed the foundations of yoga meditations.

One story tells how God instructed prince Arjuna Krishna to free themselves from worldly life and ties to connect the invisible. Arjuna wanted to set his soul free. Krishna gave him a path to follow which would allow the prince to be victorious: he must practice yogic exercises in order to obtain a sharp mind and commitment, to renounce himself, and in this way achieve spiritual release he sought.

Meditasi Buddhis

2009-09-03T21:56:00.000+07:00

Pelatihan pikiran juga dikenal sebagai meditasi yang ditemukan dalam komposisi semua agama. Doa adalah suatu bentuk meditasi dan pembangunan di kepercayaan agama Hindu dan Slokas membaca mantra-mantra yang digunakan untuk menenangkan pikiran ke fase penerimaan. Sebagian besar sistem ini adalah kemungkinan keberhasilan dengan fisik luar biasa, kadang-kadang sangat cepat, dan bayang-bayang yang datang dalam keadaan setengah sadar, atau suara-suara untuk didengar untuk mengidentifikasi, dianggap hasil dari latihan. Ini bukan sebuah negara dalam bentuk meditasi Buddhis.

Ini mencakup beberapa pengakuan semangat, kekuatan dan kegunaan, dan sulit bagi kebanyakan orang untuk membedakan antara menghipnotis diri dan perkembangan batin perantara dan proses klarifikasi dan pandangan langsung di mana objek Buddha meditasi pikiran. Dalam realitas mistik masing-masing agama memiliki kasus sendiri, yang mereka menyatakan melihat bayangan dan mendengar suara-suara yang sesuai dengan keyakinan agama mereka sendiri mengarah kepada samadhi, mereka hanya memproduksi kepala mereka dibawa keluar dari pikiran yang biasa dan konsep objectifying telah memusatkan yagn terdalam lapisan bawah sadar mereka. Agama Kristen dan berbicara dengan orang-orang kudus telah mereka kenal yagn; proposal dewa Hindu, dewa-dewa Hindu di dunia dan akhirat. Namun, objek meditasi Buddhis bukanlah hal-hal ini. Mereka muncul sebagai produk sampingan, tetapi tidak hanya itu target, tetapi juga sebuah rintangan yang harus diatasi. Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara meditasi Buddha dan konsentrasi latihan dalam sistem lain. Praktek meditasi Buddhis ini mulai mengenali perbedaan dan kesadaran pikiran batin bersih dari apa yang ia coba lakukan membangun.

Di sisi lain, meditasi Buddhis didasarkan pada Jalan Mulia beruas delapan yang disebut Jalan Tengah, yang terdiri dari 3 bagian. Buddha biasanya dalam iman, kita mengklarifikasi bentuk meditasi Buddhis dalam 40 spesies, masing-masing dengan fungsinya tergantung pada sifat dari yogi. Singkatnya, terdapat dua jenis pendekatan Buddhis Samattha dalam meditasi dan Vipassana Bhavana Bhavana.

Dalam meditasi batin (Samantha), meditator serangkaian objek, objek mengabaikan satu detik untuk menyerap semuanya dalam satu objek. Sementara itu, di mata cahaya meditasi (Vipassana), pelaksanaannya dari waktu ke waktu untuk mengetahui berbagai jenis objek yang muncul di jelas, dengan menggunakan objek khusus. Bahkan, dalam terang meditasi percaya bahwa ini adalah masalah intensifikasi kesadaran, bukan konsentrasi. Jadi, jika Anda ingin jalan meditasi, perubahan batin perdamaian ke prospek cerah, dan hanya yang paling penting untuk objek-objek yang tetap dan dapat dibuka, salah satu kesadaran utama dari waktu ke waktu dalam pengalaman, atau Anda juga dapat berlatih konsentrasi titik konsentrasi utama pada satu objek, mengarah ke pencapaian Samadhi Samadhi Appana Upacara dan yagn ditandai fokus konsentrasi pada benda-benda fisik dan mental untuk kebenaran fenomena fisik dan mental, yaitu dukkha, dan anatta anicca sadari.

Tujuan dari meditasi Buddhis untuk pemahaman yang lebih baik dari kepandaian kebenaran ini untuk melepaskan diri sendiri dan orang lain kilesa (kekotoran batin) dan dengan demikian mengakhiri kebodohan dan lampiran ditetapkan. Jika meditasi tidak ada hasil yang cenderung hasil yang sempurna yang harus diperhatikan dalam semua karakter dan cara hidup untuk menghasilkan, jelas bahwa ada yang tidak beres, baik sistem atau metode yang digunakan. Tidaklah cukup hanya untuk melihat lampu, melihat gambar atau untuk mengalami ekstase. Kejadian-kejadian ini terlalu umum untuk menyatakan bahwa umat Buddha benar-benar memahami tujuan meditasi Buddhis.

Breathing Meditation

2009-08-31T00:17:00.000+07:00

In general, the purpose of breathing meditation is to calm the mind and developing inner peace. We can only use breathing meditations or as a preliminary practice to reduce our distractions before engaging in a meditation Lamrim
A Simple Breathing Meditation

Phase one of meditation is to stop distractions and clear our minds and clear. This exercise can be accomplished with a simple meditation, breathing. We choose a quiet place to meditate and sit in a comfortable position. We can sit in the traditional cross-leg position or in any other position that is comfortable. If you want, we can sit in a chair. The most important thing is to keep our back straight to prevent our mind becomes sluggish or sleepy.

The first phase of thinking is to stop distractions and clear our minds and clear.

We sit with our eyes partially closed and turn our attention to our breathing. We breathe naturally, preferably through the nose, without trying to control our spirit, and we try to become aware of feeling the spirit as it enters and leaves the nose. This sensation is our object of meditation. We should try to focus on the exclusion of everything else.

At first, our mind will be very busy, and we can think that meditation is making our mind noisy, but in reality we are only becoming more aware of how busy our mind actually is. There will be a great temptation to follow the different thoughts as they arise, but we must resist and to remain focused on this with a sense pointedly to the spirit. If we discover that our mind has lost and is following our thoughts, we should immediately return to the spirit. We should repeat this as many times as necessary until the mind settles in breathing.
Benefits of Meditation

If we practice patiently in this way, our thoughts will gradually break to relax and we will experience a feeling of inner peace and relaxation. Our mind will feel clear and wide and we will feel refreshed. When the sea is rough, sediment is churned and the water becomes murky, but when the wind dies down the mud gradually settles and the water becomes clear. Similarly, when the otherwise uninterrupted flow of thoughts is calmed our attention by focusing on breath, our mind becomes unusually lucid and clear. We will stay with this state of mental calm for a while.
Although breathing meditation is only a preliminary stage of meditation, he can be very powerful. We can see from this practice that it is possible to experience inner peace and satisfaction only by controlling the mind, without having to depend at all on external conditions.

So much stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind

When the blur of detached thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still a deep happiness and pleasure naturally arises from within. This feeling of satisfaction and well that helps us to cope with the busyness and difficulties of everyday life. So much stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and experience many problems, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress. Just by doing breathing meditation for ten or fifteen minutes every day, we will be able to reduce that stress. We will experience a sense of calm, of things in mind, and many of our common problems will fall away. Difficult Situations to be made easier with the agreement, we will naturally feel warm and well disposed towards people, and our relationships with others will gradually improve.

How to Meditate?(2) - Posture

2009-08-31T00:08:00.000+07:00

When we practice meditation we need to have a comfortable and good behavior.

When we practice meditation we need to have a comfortable and good behavior. The most important feature of the position is to keep our back straight. To help us do so, if we are sitting on a pillow are sure that behind the cushion is slightly higher than before, inclining our pelvis slightly forward. It is not necessary to sit cross-legged at the beginning, but this is a good idea to learn about the behavior of the Buddha sitting in Vairochana. If we can not maintain this attitude we have to sit in one that is as close to this as possible while remaining comfortable.

Seven Vairochana behavior features are:

(1) are feet passed in behavior oils. This helps to reduce thoughts and feelings of desirous attachment.
(2) right hand is placed in the left hand, palms up, thumbs tips and set up a little and soft touch. The hands are held about four fingers width 'under the navel. This helps us to develop good concentration. Right hand symbolizes the way and left symbolizes wisdom - the two together symbolize the union of method and wisdom. Two thumbs at the level of navel symbolizes fire lit interior.

(3) the right, but not tense. This helps us to develop and maintain a clear mind, and allows subtle energy winds to flow freely.
(4) lips and teeth are held as usual, but against the back of the tongue touches the upper teeth. This prevents excessive salivation while also preventing our mouth becomes very dry.
(5) head was informed shortly before the chin slightly tucked in so that the eyes are turned down. This helps prevent mental excitement.
(6) eyes are neither fully open nor closed, but remain half open and gaze down along the line the nose. If the eyes are open we are likely to develop mental excitement and if they are closed we likely to develop mental weakness.
(7) shoulder level and elbows are held slightly away from sides not to circulate the air.

If we want to color our minds to a moral motivation must remove all our negative thoughts and distractions.

A further feature is Vairochana stance preliminary breath meditation, which prepares our minds to developing a good motivation. When we sit down to decrease our mind is usually filled with disturbing thoughts, and we can not immediately convert such a state of mind in a fair, we need as our motivation. A negative state of mind is concerned as a pitch-black cloth. We can not pitch-black cloth in any other colors unless we first remove all black and white cloth again. In the same way, if you want to color our minds to a moral motivation must remove all our negative thoughts and distractions. We can perform this temporarily by breathing meditation exercise.
Breathing Meditation

When we set down our quiet country meditation we begin to become aware of thoughts and distractions that are arising in our minds. Then we gently turn our attention to our spirit, by its rhythm remain normal. As we breathe us imagine that we are breathing away all disturbing thoughts and distractions in the form of black smoke that disappears in space. As we breathe in we imagine that we are breathing in all the blessings and inspiration of holy beings in the form of white light that enters our body and soak in our hearts. We maintain this visualization of single-pointedly with each inhalation and exhalation for twenty-one rounds, or until our mind has become peaceful and alert. If we concentrate on our breathing in this way, negative thoughts and distractions will temporarily disappear, because we can not concentrate more than one object at a time. In conclusion, our breathing meditation we should think `Now I have received blessings and inspiration of all holy beings." At this stage our mind is like a clean white cloth which we can now color with a virtuous motivation, as mercy or bodhichitta.

Meditation for All People

2009-08-31T00:06:00.001+07:00

There are thousands of meditation techniques in the world. However, there is really only a few. If you have only one generation away from some small differences, the number of meditation techniques sensitive point.

There are four ways in which meditation techniques vary:
1. Language and cultural emphasis
2. Point of focus
3. Integration strategy
4. Mull strategy
Any meditation technique is a point of focus such as breathing, for example. You are focusing on the point of focus. When the mind wanders, you allow your thoughts wandering space for the process itself, then you gently bring your attention back to the point of focus.
A focus point can be the spirit, a sense of body, mind, a prayer, a song, a nonsense word, a candle, a concept such as love or infinity, "the interior light and sound", a Guru , etc.

An integration strategy consists of a short practice group "interweave", interwoven throughout the day, which creates a powerful impetus introspective your daily life. It is the act of receiving at least a few minutes from every hour to raise awareness activities. Examples include "Office Yoga", stretching for short intervals, conscious breathing, chanting, giving thanks and prayers for your food, etc.

If you ever get a Qigong or yoga class, you probably can come up with some exercises to interweave in your day. Otherwise, try to think about what you actually return. Do you have a favorite inspirational poem or song? A favorite exercise routine that centers you in your body, after spending a long day stuck inside your head? Use these as interweaves.

Interweaves created deep results that you may not even notice at first. You may be aware only 10% of what is actually happening. However, after some days, you will note that your meditation or Yoga routine practice will become much easier. Your Practice will be easier and you will be able to spend less time just "getting in the mood". Therefore, you will have more time to meditate, no matter how hectic your plan.

Islam requires its followers to stop what they are doing five times a day for prayer. Was this institutionalized practice designed as a requirement of piety by a creator god jealous? It was actually designed as an integration strategy to provoke a spasm of deep internal community in a massive scale.

A meditation warm up strategy consists of a series of exercises that prepare the mind and body for meditation. If you take Yoga classes, you may have heard the term "going quietly". This is a very good description of solid warm up routine.

A rock solid thinking warm up routine begins with severe physical energy and progresses towards finer and finer levels to be up in a country to achieve a calm and spaciousness. For example, you can start with Yoga asanas and practices for limbering back. Next, you continue to massage people, energy work, some verses of Scripture, visualization exercises compassion, and finally Yoga Pranayama breathing. Now you're ready for deep meditation.

In this hypothetical exercise, you cover the muscles, energy, intellect, emotions, imagination and spirit. Strategies best warm up to cover all these things. However, do not feel guilty if you do not have time to complete a comprehensive exercise before meditation. Make sure your strategy integration is solid and you will not need to warm up as much during your regular routine.

The next time you try to tell yourself that you do not have time (or ability) to meditate, tell yourself "hogwash!" All you need to do is figure out what you turn into "a deeper level and to set aside a few minutes every hour or two to do it. Then, find a regular time to practice your routine. You should not spend more time doing your routine, as long as routine is "routine" for the most part. Keep the principles of heat, momentum and integration and your meditation will become very natural.

Vipassana Meditation

2009-08-30T21:10:00.000+07:00

Vipassana is a simple method of practical thinking that makes it possible to cope with the tensions and problems of everyday life in a calm and balanced. It is a systematic way of developing insight, self-content and real peace of mind.

Mr. SN Goenka and teachers trained by him have been teaching a form of Vipassana meditation in India and abroad for last 30 odd years. Vipassana is a Pali word meaning Special (vi) monitoring (Passana). As taught by Mr. Goenka, meditation technique is taught in 12-day Retreats in special centers. Retreat to the monitoring of breath and bodily sensations during a period of twelve days, after which the meditator is expected to continue his meditation in everyday life.
Mr. Goenka was born in Burma and learned this technique from his teacher, U Ba Khin Sayagyi, which he came, but all seek a cure for his painful migraine. Mr U Ba Khin was a disciple of Mr. My thet, which was by a disciple of Mr. Ledi Sayadaw. Mr. Sayadaw was honored as a Arahant (a fully enlightened that) in his later years.
Mr U Ba Khin Meditation founded the International Center (IMC) in Rangoon, two miles north of the famous Shwedagon pagoda. TMC now has six centers around the world. All centers are guided by Mother Sayamagyi, close disciple Sayagyi U Ba Khin, who has taught and practiced meditation for more than fifty years of tradition that have committed to U Ba Khin Sayagyi demise in 1971.1
Mr. Goenka past fourteen years Mr. Khin was ba and Vipassana became a teacher himself. U Ba Khin was willing to go to India to teach and spread of Vipassana in its country of origin, but he can not fulfill his dream. Mr Goenka, was however, able to go to India and began teaching Vipassana. After many years, as the technique became popular, centers are created in different parts of India and abroad. Vipassana movement headquarters is in Igatpuri (near Bombay).
Center Retreats run different durations, ranging from 12 days in more than two months. 12-day retreat is held more frequently and attended.
Since the main vehicle for meditation is this 12-day withdrawal, I will now try and give a review of its accurate.
