The essence of the human being is pure awareness. That is what you are: Awareness. You are not the body; you are not the mind. You raise your hand.. are you aware your hand is raised? Yes. Does your hand know that it is raised? No. You are the awareness watching these things happen. The point of meditation is to get in touch with this awareness. To do this all you do is observe. Watch your thoughts. Watch your breath. Watch your energies. Do not try to control, just watch. Meditation can bring upon negative emotions that you should not reject; when you just observe them they will slowly drift away on their own accord. I will agree that facing these emotions is a scary thing and takes and extreme level of trust, but once they are gone, all you have to experience is sweet and loving emotions! Generating positive emotions are natural for you as a human being, negative emotions are blown up because of rejection. Observing negative emotions on the forefront can be extremely uncomfortable, but they do fade away once you accept them. This technique can not only be used for inside situations, but outside situations as well. Earl Nightingale states that this is a characteristic of the ‘self actualized’ human being. We have this characteristic as a small child, simply noting and observing instead of arguing or demanding a situation be otherwise. Rejecting situations or feelings will act as a block in the system preventing you from flowing through life easier and gracefully. If you practice meditation, and you get anxious or upset, just watch the feeling. Welcome the feeling and do not try to control the feeling, just sit there and look at it. It will climax and drift away. We all want life to be a certain way for us. That is the point of Committed to Creating.. but it is most important that you accept things how they are, and simply observe. The point of this website is to not have everything the way we want it is to strive for everything the way we want. Watch life. Watch you surrounding. You will find yourself more in tune with an infinite power you may never have a real understanding of. As soon as you believe you understand life, it tends to throw another factor into the mix so it is most important that you just observe. It is a lot more fun to watch than try to control. What is the most important in your experience, some other life or your life? Your life! Enhance your life and experiences. A sweetness in your experience will trickle into the lives of those around you. Please, just take time once a day to just observe yourself.
A masterpiece again …. even in your last post there was a spiritual essence considering meditation as how simple it is but we make it difficult …. awesome sir

Thank you. And yes, I practice different types of yoga daily. It is great for lots of things like focusing, letting go, and simply balancing energy. Even if you just want to get your blood moving hatha yoga is great. As my physical therapist said, “Flexibility is the key to youth.”
