Meditation and thoughtless awareness

As humans, we’ve been conditioned to use our minds to plan, decide and do things which we "believe" are best for us and others. However, almost everyone at some point in their lives have regretted saying or doing things that sounded perfect in their heads. This is because we base our actions on experiences we have learned from and then we learn more from those mistakes enriching our mind store. It’s also very common for us to turn to people with more experience when it comes to complex matters that we have little or no experience so we can make a better decision.

After self-realisation, that more experienced person is within, that pure subtle energy that gives us the pure knowledge connects us to the supercomputer that has the knowledge and experience of the smallest to the most complicated problems that a human can be presented with. This is just another aspect of one's own self that we were unaware of until we get this energy awakened. Mother Kundalini enlightens our centres, "chakras", and brings us the stability and balance that makes us empowered to make better decisions and choices in our lives, for ourselves, friends, family, nation and the world at large. So, its important to let this pure energy work for us from within and the way to make that happen is to get into meditation. Meditation is a state where we are not imagining or thinking of anything or anyone but we are at peace... mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It helps immensely if we can slow down our mind and reach a state called Thoughtless Awareness also known as "Turya" or "Nirvichaar Samadhi" in Hindi.

Thoughtless awareness is not a state of sleep or trance, we are totally in control and aware of ourselves but we are not using our mind to analyse any of it. We can hear the birds chirp, feel the heat from the radiators keeping us warm and most importantly, the flow of this subtle energy through our system. We have no thoughts bothering us and its a blissful silence where we can feel all our energy centres, the chakras on our finger tips. Its like drinking water after being thirsty for a while, we just enjoy the cold, refreshing life flowing down our throat where we are just enjoying it without bothering about anything else in that moment.

When we are thoughtlessly aware, we are able to pay our undivided attention to the pure energy within and this aspect of our own self fixes all our problems of all levels and types and gives us the right direction we should be moving on. This energy has the power to make us our own masters, our own guru and we can refer to this energy at every step of our lives without having to rely on our mind to guide us through the obstacles.

So, we have to de-condition ourselves, move away from the reliance on this mind to another subtle and a more powerful aspect of our own good self, the primordial mother energy, Kundalini. When we meditate, we have to try to get to this state. It takes time and may not be easy for some but we have to be patient with ourselves, nature takes time. We'll have to try to get there by not fighting those thoughts but by ignoring them... let them come and go, don't get involved or try to force them away as it'll only make it worse. Bring the attention on the top of the head, the soft-spot, fontanelle bone, the Sahasraara chakra and as we get those small gaps between the thoughts wider the better we'll get and then begins the meditation.

Other ways to help get thoughtless will be described in the articles to follow so stay tuned and keep meditating...
