Signals that tell me I am ready to start meditating.


Among so many daily tasks that someday  we choose to carry out, there is very important work that we have to do, and it has nothing to do with the outside world.. and it is internalize, that is a experience we have with ourselves.
Internalize is a daily and inadvertent task in most cases in wich we connect, relate and link our past experiences with present ones and produce an update of ourselves, which includes projecting into the future.

 Taking distance from all identification with some special part of ourselves, appreciated or hated, as well as suspended all external requirement in our minds is a basic condition that will allow us to know ourselves more deeply

 Here are some signals that we can recognize and stimulate in our daily practice that we usually  call Meditation, retreat, rest, nap o nothing. 
  • Feel the air pass through our nostrils
  • I can perceive the parts of my body ( forehead, chest, toes, etc)
  • I feel the air push my abdomen (through the diaphragm)
  • I distinguish four states in my breathing: inspiration, full lungs, exhalation, empty lungs.
  • I can observe my thoughts without paying attention... that is, without identifying with them.

These five signals will help us to be sure that we are looking inside our. We can also say that in some way that we do not understand well... we are in the presence of the Self

What am I going to meditate? and... how do I choose a meditation object? I feel that in these questions there is still an attempt to escape the illegal appropriation of the world of things to use them for purposes that have nothing to do with their nature. but  H ow to discern between the accumul...

Fundamentals principles to direct my mind.

Feeling capable of directing it  Never occupy the center of our minds with problems. (Dieter F. Utchdorf) Take responsability for everything I thought, said and done Maintain an attitude of constant vigilance about I think Recognice and practice the ability to change your mind at will. Meditate daily on the truths of Truth. Recognice the parts of my mind: imagination, memory, etc. Our mind needs to be connected to a source. The mind can only think of one thing (Richard G, Scot)  and recognice, learn and remember that I am much more than my mind or my body or both,,,that is, I am not  my mind or my body...  I am the one who observes them in silence I am the one who takes care of them with strict tenderness...
