little bit about meditation
« on: December 02, 2008, 12:09:13 AM »
a little thing on meditation just thought anyone might be interested i think meditation can help anxiety
just sharing

"Meditation
 is emptying yourself of all content. When there is no thought moving inside you there is stillness, and that stillness is meditation. Not even a ripple arises in the lake of your consciousness, and that silent lake, absolutely still, is meditation.

And in that meditation you will know what truth is, you will know what love is, you will know what godliness is. Not by meditating on God ... See the point: how can you mediate on God? You don't know anything about God. All your meditation is going to be just imagination, an exercise of imagination. You don't know truth - what are you going to meditate upon? Some idea given by others, some belief, some concept? That is not going to help.

First become mediation, and then in meditation, truth, godliness, love and all that is transcendental will be revealed to you.

Mediation is just being, not doing anything - no action, no thought, no emotion. It is very simple - a totally relaxed state of consciousness where you are not doing anything. The moment doing enters, you become tense, anxious. What to do? How to do it? How to succeed? How not to fail? You have already moved into the future.

In meditation you just are. And it is a sheer delight. Meditation is just being delighted in your own presence; meditation is a delight in your own being.

Where does this delight come from, when you are not doing anything? It comes from nowhere or it come from everywhere. It is not caused by anything, because existence itself is made of the stuff called joy. It needs no cause, no reason.

 Joy is you inner most core. "

Thanks, that's a helpful quote! I've begun meditating to deal with my own anxiety and I really think it helps. I use it more for its relaxation properties, but I will give it a shot from the "existentialist" perspective next time around!

yeah with all of the "what ifs" and stuff i think its really important to just enjoy the moment
and trust the moment and i think the more you get comfortable with being in the moment
that can lessen anxiety alot i think it really has for me!
