Definition Of Mindfulness Meditation?

Meditation is defined as a state of mind in which you focus on a certain object that enables you to practice your attention in a single thing – something like a word or a phrase, a geometrical figure, a candle flame, or simple actions such as inhale and exhale. We all experience a stressed environment; the source could most probably come from work, family issues or social interactions with individuals you meet. This technique allows you to find different methods and practices to assist you finding your inner peace within yourself. A lot of various schemes are available to aid finding such harmony and serenity, but with Mindfulness Meditation, you will embark on things that relatively have something to do with your cognitive perception. It’s a cognitive condition per say because it has been proven scientifically that the stress you encounter within the torments and agony of life has nothing to do with you but how your mind responds to these phenomenal things.

Have you ever heard of the Mountain of Meditation? It’s a metaphor used in depicting the journey to tranquillity, the summit serves as the goal towards peace and calmness. Are you ready to climb the mountain? Well, you need to consider different factors in reaching the top – one of this is the path to the top and how you will manage it. You choose your own path right? Climbing the mountain has many trails, a path that may gradually lead you to the forest and meadows, a path that may include a steeply uphill over dry, rocky terrain, others may have flowers and vast garden, and other you may see farmlands and a dessert. Terrains that may help you realize certain things and would hinder you from going up to the top and pursuing your journey. Embarking on this kind of journey sets you into your limitations and as well as your choices, who knows that you find your tranquility in the low peaks of the mountain and decides not to continue anymore, whatever your destination, you can have fun and reap the benefits of inner peace as you go along the voyage. The Mountain of Meditation has been climbed by individuals for over thousands of decades in poles apart. With this, great books have been published, each suggesting on what to bring and how to hike the great mountain. Most of the books coddle with a description of a spiritual path engaging a set of beliefs that have been passed on generations. Others convey the feelings which are experienced as you go along and upon reaching the summit.

The following are techniques developed over the past years (or metaphorically defined as the path and terrains):

  • Repeating 3 meaningful words or phrases.
  • Mindful awareness of the present moment.
  • Counting your breath
  • Paying attention to the flow of sensations in your body.
  • Cultivation of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and other healing emotions.
  • Concentration on the geometric shape or other visual objects.
  • Visualizations of a peaceful place of healing energy or entity.
  • Reading and reflecting upon inspirational or sacred writings.
  • Gazing at a picture of a holy being or a saint.
  • Chanting praises to the Divine.

If you are able to reach the summit of the meditation mountain, you can garner extreme feelings of emotional harmony involving Love, Harmony, Wisdom, and Joy. Others call it as the source of Divinity, giving the whole new meaning to Holiness. Some say it’s the ultimate truth, and some individuals define this as a spiritual tradition which is considered to be sacred and powerful enough that they hesitate to give it a name. Great entities reaching the summit make use of the words Enlightenment – from ignorance, Awakening – from a dream, Liberation – from bondage, Freedom – from limitation, and Union – with God. You may say that it’s very hard to climb the Mountain of Meditation but still will try to pursue such summit, and no matter how and what path you take, the truth is that you can reach the top with the same basic instruction, although you need to choose your destination. To help you find the strength and courage to reach the summit, these are the following stop over’s en route to the summit:

  • Stronger Focus and Concentration.
  • Reduced tension, anxiety, and stress.
  • Clear thinking and less emotional turmoil.
  • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
  • Support in kicking and other self-defeating behaviours.
  • Greater creativity and enhanced performance in work and play.
  • Increased self-understanding and self-acceptance.
  • More joy, love, and spontaneity.
  • Greater intimacy with friends and family members.
  • A deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
  • Glimpses of a spiritual dimension of being.

Looking at these great destinations, you may actually think that they are worth reaching and satisfying. You can also experience contentment during your journey halfway after you diminish your stress, improved your health and feel the greater well – being. Or, somehow, you may feel more inspired that you decide to move forward to higher heights as the great entities defined.

Imagine that there’s a spring of water flowing in the summit of the mountain and never runs dry, you may depict this as the water of purity. Those who get to the top of the mountain earns the right to indulge the purity of the water and immerse themselves completely in the water. Imagine that that impeccable spring rushes from the mountain downwards the hills and the forest below the summit, meaning,  you  also  don’t  have  to  reach  the summit just to take and experience this kind of purity since you can taste your being everywhere, in everything, since being is the essence that keeps life going in all forms and at every level. Until you start providing yourself the great meditation, then you may not know what being tastes like. When you meditate, even if you can’t taste the water just yet, your being feels closer to the water, then suddenly you can recognize the taste of the purity within.
