Mindfulness is a great tool. But it’s very hard to master if you have a ‘monkey mind’ like so many of us, or are in a stressed or anxious state when you try it.
Mindfulness is what our monastic friends do. But our lives are a little more challenging than theirs, so we need something a bit more heavy duty - like Vedic meditation.
For students of Vedic Meditation, mindfulness is an *outcome* of practising meditation. It’s the state you’re left in once you come out of your daily meditation. You naturally become more present, less focused on the past or worried about the future.
And this is because the Vedic Meditation technique works with the minds nature, not against it.
Just like you can’t stop your heart from beating by simply thinking about it, nor can you stop your mind from thinking.
So, with Vedic Meditation, we don’t try to control the mind monkey. Instead, we use a simple mantra, allowing the mind to slip into a state of deep relaxation 5 x deeper than sleep. And WHEN you have a thought, you know it’s just part of the process and you think your mantra again. Simple, easy, natural.
