Meditation is an act (or non-act, if you
insist!) of controlling your mind.
Whatever you have heard, the objective of
meditation is 100% absolute focus.
What you focus on is up to you and the
form of meditation you are practicing.
A few of the options are:
1. your breathing, nothing more and nothing
less
2. a mantra, saying or affirmation
3. an ideal such as love or
gratitude
4. a problem, such as how you are consumed with desire or
suffering
5. a quiet mind (opinions on what this is vary)
6. swaying or
some other form of rhythmic movement
7. a repetitive sound such as a beating
drum, heart, etc.
The practice of meditation provides the
benefits one might expect from a
mental giant who controls his or her mind
well. These cover a range of
primarily mental and emotional abilities but can
also touch upon physical
strengths and possibly even diagnoses.
The first thing you might notice when
meeting a person who has meditated regularly
for a long time is the bright
stillness of his or her eyes.
How could someone so still be dissembling or
dishonest? His very eyes
seemed to see my soul and exactly what I needed and
could afford.
The second thing you may realize when
talking with a meditator is they do not
seem to be glancing around, looking
for what is going on in the background,
or at their watch. They do not appear
to be considering what they will say next.
You wonder what you will say after
they say what they are
going to say, but it is clear they have not yet
decided what they will
say because they are so alertly, intently still
listening to you.
Could it be mediators put their own emotions
through the same listening process?
They certainly seem less frequently
buffeted to and fro than a person
who has not learned mental control. A
hackneyed Psychology 101
question comes into play here: Do you run because
you are scared,
or are you scared because you are running?
You may think
fear sets off screaming, and it might. But screaming
sets off far more fear,
as you know if you enjoy horror movies!
What do greater focus, improved stillness
and emotional control do to our body?
Is it possible the acceptance
meditation engenders lowers blood pressure,
thus reducing the chances of
heart attacks and stroke?
