Re: Try this...

Ever hear of gibberish meditation?

It is understood that if modern man tries to just sit and experience meditation… sit silently and relax into oneself, he will find it a very frustrating experience. It is because he will find that there will be so much chaos within himself that he will be unable to experience the real silence that is there beneath all this… the outcome will be tremendously frustrating for him… It may even frighten one to see that there is so much insanity that is within oneself, enough so that he will never attempt to try it again.

To help the modern man to get through this layer of insanity, gibberish meditation was devised… the meditation has two parts. A cathartic part and a meditation part. The first part, for 15 minutes, is to verbalize nonsensical, meaningless sounds. Moving the body, arms and hands, legs by making gestures will help one to go more deeper into this part of the meditation. It will look like one is insane. One is! Because we all live in an overly oppressive, overly moralistic societies that will not allow us to express ourselves fully and naturally, we unnaturally bury these unexpressed emotions and thoughts back inside of ourselves... they are all there waiting to be expressed, just below the surface of ourselves... bubbling beneath the skin, so to speak. So what this catharsis does is to help move the insanity that everyone is sitting on and carrying around with themselves to the surface... and it is put out of the body-mind mechanism in this way…

If it is done with some intensity… with a totality… what is left behind is an empty space… this leads to the meditation part. So after 15 minutes of the cathartic part then sit silently for another 15 minutes… 15 minutes of just watching whatever is going on within yourself… the breathing, the heartbeat, the relaxation of the body… whatever sensations or sounds that arise… within and out of the body-mind. This second part is wu wei. Just sitting silently and watching.

Try this is you are so inclined… its like allowing the monkey mind to do its thing…letting all the monkeys out of the cage of the mind… and what is left behind is a peaceful silence… an empty void ...that gives a chance for the meditation… bliss… love… god to come in.
