Be A Meditator

First learn to be, then learn to do little actions, while keeping yourself centered, then do complex things. (Based on quote by Osho)

"The whole world can come into harmony if meditation is spread far and wide" ~Osho

Forget Everything, just watch the breath

Move with the breath, fully conscious.

Every moment is a chance to practice awareness. 

   "Before embarking on important undertakings, sit quietly, calm your senses and thoughts, and meditate deeply. You will then be guided by the great creative power of spirit."     ~Paramhansa Yogananda

If you become aware of your body posture, it automatically improves.  We can be aware on many levels - physical, emotional, and about our thoughts.  Whatever comes into our awareness, starts to improve. 

You become the center of the cyclone

Try this - observe the gaps between your breaths 

When meditating in the sitting position, stay as still as possible, only changing position if it is really necessary.

Any activity can be a meditation. Be completely present to it. 

When there is awareness, there is never a slip between the cup and the lip. 

"This is a slow ordinary walk based on the awareness of the feet touching the ground. You can walk in a circle or a line of 10 to 15 steps going back and forth, inside or out of doors. Eyes should be lowered on the ground a few steps ahead. While walking, the attention should go to the contact of each foot as it touches the ground. If other things arise, stop paying attention to your feet, notice whatever else took your attention and then return to your feet. It is the same technique as is sitting -  but watching a different primary object. You can walk for 20-30 minutes. " ~Osho

If you can do something with the breath, you will suddenly turn to the present. ~ Osho

Be alert to the movements of your body

Breath, a bridge to meditation

"There are 112 methods of meditation,  I have talked on all of them.  They differ in their constitution,  but the fundamentals remain the same  Relaxation, watchfulness, and a non-judgmental attitude " ~Osho

When practicing awareness there are 3 levels - Body, Thoughts, Emotions

You are not the doer, You are the watcher - Osho

The first step in awareness is to be very watchful of your body 

Now, Now, Now, Now, ... um ..., Now, Now, Now, Now

Observe very impartially, as though you are observing someone else - Osho

Once there is seeing, there must be acting - Be a Meditator

When there are a lot of thoughts, follow the breath

Meditation ... is letting go

     What kind of relationship do you have with the current moment?  A long term relationship. 

The transition between our meditation session and our real life is a long jump.  We learn to bridge this difference by continuing to connect  our meditation practice with our daily life

The Moment that matters the most 

Your entire world is about to renew - now

Meditation is the emptying of consciousness of its content, the known, the "me". 

Om Mani Padme Hum. You are the Jewel. Be, Do, Have 

10,000 Benefits; 10,000 Techniques;  1 essence - sincerity

The object of attention can be a flame, an image, a sound, or a breath.  What matters is the quality of awareness. 

Treat each moment with the alertness of a warrior waging a war. 

Meditation can be used as a key that unlocks the mysteries of the universe.
