Stay fixed in the self

Your meditation should be to stay fixed in the self. Keep your attention firmly fixed on the sense of self.

Become familiar with your sense of self. Sense of self? The one thing you notice when you close your eyes and ask yourself, "how do I know I am here at this moment?" The question is answered by the sensation of self you feel after you ask the question. You automatically sense that you are here. There is an inner knowing that you exist in this moment.

Now, continue to stay aware of this sense of self. Do not waver from your awareness of this sense of self. When you lose the awareness and find yourself thinking, that's okay, it's expected to happen, it should happen, just bring your attention (awareness) back to awaeness of self.

Make the awareness of the sense of self your meditation practice. Stay partially aware of the sense of self all day long, without breaking this consciousness of self for even one moment. Try to stay aware constantly.

Eventually, the sense of self, will give way to the Self.

Finding Self

How to find the Self:

Take your attention into the body and become very still. Notice the energy that runs through the body and keep your attention on that energy. Whatever you sense as energy is not the Self. However, that which you do sense is a part of the Self that has become wrongly identified as being you and your body. The ego part of the mind has taken a minuscule portion of the Self and has labelled it as you or, I. By keeping your attention on this aspect of the Self, it will eventually be dissolved into the Self. The you will disappear and you will become Self-realised.

Before realisation, there will be an experience of increasingly intensifying peace. Before realisation, there will be moments of sensing the oneness of all.

Continue to practice by keeping attention on that inner sense of me.

Desire peace above all else, as peace is who you are.

Focus Attention

The only thing you need to be aware of is that sense of self that you experience when you are totally present.

At the moment of complete presence, thought is still, your sense perceptions are acute and you become fully aware of the inner self.

Listen intently to the noises in the distant. Become aware this way. Now, notice your being inside and out.

Practice keeping your attention here, now!

Aware of Peace beyond thought

Just be aware of the peace that flows in the background of thought.

Notice awareness as it exists. Do this by taking notice of your breath.

Now, become aware of your body-then, notice your entire being all at once. Become aware of all of you.

Notice that when you are aware of your entirety, you are not thinking. Good!

Now, keep your attention directed on this field of awareness.

Notice the peace that surrounds your thoughts.

Notice the peace

Now-merge with this peace.

Find the felt sense-Being

Practicing inner body awareness by keeping your attention in the body and observing sensations, emotions and thoughts, will help you get to know the processes that are taking place within you. Being alert to these processes, you will come to know the extent that they come up and affect you at mostly an unconscious level. Knowing these things about yourself is the first step to understanding some important truths about yourself.

What you may not have already noticed is that you are becoming aware of these processes, you are observing them. Because you can observe these things in yourself, you must not be these things entirely. They can only be a part of you, a part of who you really are at a deeper level. Because you are observing these things in yourself you are not these things and you do not have to react to every thought, emotion or sensation. By observing you can stand at a distance and notice these processes take place in you without reacting, blaming yourself or others for them. You simply need to be aware of them as they take place in you.

Because you can observe these processes in yourself, suggests that you are not the creator of these processes-a very big revelation indeed. Think about this-if you can observe the processes as they come up in you, then you are not the creator of those processes. Then where do they come from? They come out of consciousness, arise in your awareness, and slip away back into consciousness-just like everything else eventually does. These things are form and they come up within you and play against the background of consciousness much like a movie plays against the background of the movie screen.

Knowing these things through practice will take you to the realization that there must be something else that I am. Sense that I Am and you will come to know yourself at a much deeper level.

A spiritual practice for today and for many days to come is to move your attention within the body and continue to observe the processes taking place within you. Do this until you notice a deeper felt sense-a feeling of that background to which these processes are cast upon. When you get that sense of background awareness-move your attention to this and keep it there for as long as you can. With strong determination, keep your alert awareness fixed on this felt sense (can be felt as a sense of energy or a feeling of deep peace in the background). Do this whenever possible and as much as possible as this will take you closer to any part of the Self you will ever experience.

Peace to you today

Welcome to you who are searching

Welcome to those of you who have found your way to this blog. My purpose in writing this is to explain an inner process that leads to insight, understanding and peace.

If you are someone searching to find a deeper reality within you, then stay with this blog over the next few months, practice the ideas and suggestions that are offered, and discover that one true reality.

You will experience deep peace.

Notice the Energy Within

The purpose of this blog is to offer ideas and suggestions that can help a person awaken spiritually.

I have read many spiritual books and have gained much knowledge about spiritual awakening. Most of these books talk about what it is like to awaken spiritually. What I wanted to find was how I could start to awaken to a deeper level of being, but most books did not offer the practical actions that were necessary to begin on this path.

This blog will help you discover and develop for yourself, a variety of practical inner processes that will contribute to deeper spiritual experiences and allow you to experience an infinite depth of peace and understanding.

To begin: Notice the energy within your body.
Next: Surrender whatever it is you are experiencing at this moment.
How to surrender? Just notice the energy and allow it to be as it is in this moment without reacting, judging or labelling the energy. Feel the Energy.

Continue this practice for today.

Tomorrow, continue this practice. When you find yourself lost in thought-return to the feeling of energy in the body. From this point on-continue to bring your attention back to the feeling of energy in your body. Always have some attention on the sensation of the energy in your body.

You will discover peace.
