How To Properly Begin To Meditate: Your mind is almost always fighting against something. And it’ll find almost anything to resist. “The air is dry. I have laundry to fold.” Worst yet; even if everything was “perfect”, your ego would resist the fact that there isn’t anything to resist! “I’m bored. Is this all there is?”
The only answer is not to just know, but to feel, to let yourself go to the fact that everything is as it is. Everything is perfect. The answer is to just simply.. let go.
How do you let go? How do get your brain to stop clenching? With three key tools: observation, acceptance, and unconditional love. And this is how it works:
Step 1) Observe what your ego is resisting in the moment. Observe the “you” who is resisting.
Step 2) Accept that thought or feeling. Don’t block it. Don’t minimize it. Don’t even attempt to let it pass through (they’ll do that on their own). Don’t judge it. Fully accept whatever lays at the foot of your mind.
Step 3) Envelop whatever worry or issue with complete, undeniable, full, warm, velvety warm love. Love that feeling or thought like you would your own pet or child.
If you stay aware and do this for all commotion in your mind, your ego will EVENTUALLY succumb to love and acceptance. Thoughts will slow. The emotions will slow. (And for short times, even stop). And even when something does arise, you are there to give it your full, undivided attention and greet it with a warm embrace. Your embrace will melt any thought or feeling that comes your way.
And finally, you have given into the moment. You have surrendered. You’ve unclenched your brain. You’re full of love and acceptance every thing and every one. All is right, and all is perfect.
