Awareness is the key
I have told you, Watch your body, watch your thoughts, watch your emotions. In other words, become aware.
Awareness is the basis, the focus and the goal of meditation.
Awareness is your key-word.
No matter what the technique, no matter which religion or which spiritual discipline – the focus is on becoming more aware. This is the common thread that runs through every single technique you will find in this book.
MEDIATION IS FOR YOU
When you start watching something, you become the witness, you become an outsider. You drop your identification with the thing that are observing. By and by, you come to see that it is something outside of yourself.
By becoming aware of your body, your mind, your emotions, you become free of them.
Awaken your intelligence, your consciousness.
Watch the actions of your body as if you were an outsider, and you will drop your body.
Watch your insane, racing thoughts – and you will drop your identification with your thoughts.
Watch your fickle, changing emotions – and you will realize that you are not your emotions.
Just with deep awareness, you can become free.
