Still Hot... Still Meditating, Calming The Mind...
How you ever tried NOT to think for a moment?
Seems like the hardest thing in the world sometimes.
I tell my son we have two ears and one mouth so that's a sign that he should do more listening and less talking... doesn't work in practice.
Seems the mind can't stop it's chatter. What's it trying to cover up? What is it afraid that we will find?
Both good questions and ones i'm aiming to get to the bottom of!

Middle Of A Heatwave and Transcending The Mind
Another 40 degree day coming up and I kind of went for that run.
Football training on Wednesday night and we ran to the beach. That was pretty good and I copped the nickname "whiteman"... maybe because of the absolute complete lack of a tan??!!??...
Back to meditation.
I'm actually getting used to the posture of sitting for meditation... or at least my knees are. It's hard to focus but not focus, concentrate without concentrating and ignoring thoughts while allowing them to happen.
But i'll keep at it.

Looking at 40 degrees celcius tomorrow and possibly the next few days.
Should I run in the heat or not?
hmmmmm... then again... not with my pasty white skin!
Check out the next in the series of meditation, getting interesting :)

More Meditation and a 'Nerd Day' Coming Up...
I'm new to meditation myself and I have only occasionally found the 'no thought' state that is required.
At times it can be frustrating and others refreshing.
I look forward to getting more of a handle on it as I believe through deep meditation we can have great powers and potential.
Powers of creativity, powers of healing and powers of insight and intuition.
The power to heal others is obviously foremost in my mind at the moment...
That and this coming Saturday... I mean 8 hours of Battlestar Galactica followed by the most recent episode direct by satelite. How cool is that??!!??
Well... is to me :P

A series On Meditation
Spiritual reality takes you on a journey within yourself.
To watch and listen to this video is in itself relaxing as you breathe and calm your mind.
Through the practice of meditation we travel on the path of harmony, good health, inner peace and blissful contentment.
In this video the narrator speaks of 'Cosmic Energy'. This is often also referred to as universal consciousness. The activities of meditation and deep relaxation can help to draw this energy to you and revitalize your being.
On a personal note I wish this for my Dad. A week of radiation therapy has left him drained and in need of some of the life healing properties of cosmic energy.
Please send your positive thoughts and vibrations to my Dad... Thankyou :)

Meditation - A New Video
Just today I found an excellent video on meditation (link below).
The simple narration and graphics explains so well some of the basics of meditation.
I have read a number of book by yogis and other buddhist masters of meditation that over complicate the process.
After viewing this first video it had me saying "ahhhhh that's what it means!"
Many beginners to meditation say the same thing "I just cant stop myself thinking" or "there's is too much going on I can't get calm" and those thoughts of trying to achieve, trying NOT to think do exactly the opposite.
In the end they get frustrated and give up.
As the video says.... Just Relax... focus on the breath and just relaaaaaax...
