ABOUT THE MEDITATION

Have you noticed how you feel heavier on some days than on others? Actually, the weight you feel is the weight of your body, not of You. You are weightless. From constant identification with the body, we tend to think of ourselves as possessing weight.

Your body is just matter, naturally it will have weight.

If you notice, a person when sleeping or unconscious is always heavier than when he is awake. When your consciousness is alive, you are lighter. You don't just feel lighter, you become lighter.

To experience the true lightness of your Being, you have to go not only beyond your body, but beyond your mind as well. Because the mind also has a certain weight. When you are unhappy, you feel physically heavier. You feel as if something is dragging you down. When you are happy, you feel light, you feel as if you are 'walking on air'! Because when you are happy, you forget the body, you forget the mind. Even without effort, you feel yourself weightless. But in normal life, you are controlled by external circumstances. In this meditation, we learn to create the feeling of weightlessness at will.
