SPACE OF PEACE🔗

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Attention is exclusive, awareness is inclusive. When you concentrate, immediately your body and mind fall into a state of tension. When you need to understand something with your mind, some amount of tension is necessary and even desirable. The problem is, we carry this tension even into our meditation!

To know whether you are in attention or in awareness, just watch your eyes. If your eyes are focused on one spot, if your forehead feels tense – you are concentrating. When you remain alert, but your eyes are de-focused, you are in awareness. The moment you diffuse the focus of your eyes, you experience a great relief. If you see the pictures of saints and realized beings, they always have a peaceful, faraway look in their eyes. Their eyes will never have that focused look that our eyes have. The reverse is also possible! Just by de-focusing the eyes, we can fall into the same space of peace.

DURATION: 21 min

Sit comfortably with your spine upright and your eyes closed.

Bring your arms up to your head.

Clasp your hands and let the palms rest lightly on your head.

Now, turn your eyes gently inward and fix your gaze in your armpits.

When you try to gaze at both armpits together, naturally your focus will become diffused.

Your gaze will take in the entire area between the two armpits – your heart region.

The instant your focus is diffused, you will experience a great peace, a great relaxation, as if your whole being is sighing with peace.

Let this peace pervade the region of your heart. Let your heart expand with peace.

Fall deeper and deeper into this peace.

Let your mind be absorbed in this peace.

Without even realizing it, you will enter the space of nomind.
