"Turning the Mind Into an Ally" is one of the best instructional books on meditation, it is easy to read, does not refer to any religion and is a description of meditation in a way that can really be practice.

I have been depressed most of my adult life, and finally decided that I want to deal with the pain. This instruction is by far the best hands-on I have experienced so far. I want to make sure that my body is positioned correctly - I know how important dynamic balanced posture and breathing are for meditation. Thank you!

Thank you for your clarity. Your points for attention are directed to exactly what people need to actually do the practice. I greatly appreciate your efforts. You begin by describing the internal process of sacredness. The word means “cut away” as in isolated from what is, therefore, considered mundane experience. In truth, it is all one experience, but the change of attitude you mention as you form your intentions is the process of making a sacred experience. It’s all a mental change of perspective, by which an attitude of idealized nobility may be cultivated in the sacred act of meditating. I, too, would enjoy a video detailing the 9 stages. Very well done. 🙏

+Shana schwartz I am currently reading "Turning the mind into an ally" chapter 6 tells us that we should do something soothing like take a bath or talk to a friend, once we notice these negative emotions that are too large for our minds to acknowledge and kiss goodbye. my question how could I recognize when the emotions are too strong to the point where I have to stop and take a break?

After I try sitting (breath) meditation and walking meditation, I feel irritable and angry afterwards. I learned to meditate over 1 week ago, and I've been doing it daily, but I need to take a break from it, due to the irritability and anger I feel afterwards. Today I took a day off of meditating, and I feel like things are settling down and I feel a little better. I was told to cut the time down, which I did a few days ago, but I still get negative feelings after I do meditation, so I am planning to take a break from it for a day or so. I wonder why I get these negative reactions from meditating. I want to meditate daily, but I also don't want to feel angry and irritable all day.

shana schwartz I have three suggestions I think may help you: 1) Try meditating for just 10 minutes a day. Focus on the feeling of the breath where it feels most prominent for you - that could be the chest, nostrils or abdomen. Choose one of those and just focus on THE FEELING of the breath. So if you choose the chest then focus on how the rise and falling of your chest feels. If it is the nostrils then focus on how the breath feels as it passes through your nostrils. 2) My second suggestion to you is that whenever you feel angry, irritable or any emotion that feels unpleasant for you I invite you to pay attention to that emotion and feel what it feels like without resisting it, disliking it or trying to push it away. Try to stay with the feeling of anger and irritability without getting involved in any thoughts that may arise about the feeling. If you notice at any time you are thinking angry or irritable thoughts, remove your attention from the thoughts and give your whole attention to just the feeling of anger/irritability and WHERE you FEEL it most strongly in THE BODY. If the feeling becomes overwhelming for you then imagine that you are breathing into the feeling, into the part of your body where you feel that feeling. But stay with the feeling. Give it your attention without starting to think about it. Just be with the feelings, let it them be as they are without wanting them to go away or thinking about them. Just as your whole attention can be on the feeling of the breath - the physical sensations of the breath - how the breath feels. Your whole attention can be on an emotion. 3) Try loving kindness and self compassion meditations. Loving kindness should start with yourself and then extend to others. Same thing with compassion. Those are great antidotes to anger and irritability. All suggestions require just 10 minutes a day.

nfcoard hello nfcoard i have a question where do i have to focus during Those spaces Between exhalation and inhalation ?? Thx

@nfcoard 7 жыл бұрын

olivier753 During the spaces/pauses between exhalation and inhalation just keep your attention on the part of the body you have chosen to focus on and notice the space/pause. Just as you notice the feeling of the chest rising and falling, notice also the brief pauses in movement at the end of inhalation and the end of exhalation. Same thing if you choose the abdomen. If it is the nostrils then notice the brief pause in the sensations in the nostrils. So notice both the physical sensations of the breathing and also notice the brief pauses in those sensations at the end of an inhalation or exhalation. So your attention basically just remains on that part of the body. If your mind wanders away, which it definitely will, just gently bring it back to the physical sensations of the breathing.

nfcoard Thk you very much, so during thoses brief pauses if my mind wanders away i focus on on my nostrils the Same place i focus during breathing thats right ?? :/

@nfcoard 7 жыл бұрын

olivier753 If I understand you correctly, then yes - If your mind wanders away, when you become aware that it has wandered, then just gently bring your attention back to the nostrils. You can also choose to focus on the rising and falling sensation of the chest, or the rising and falling sensation of the abdomen. Any of those three is a good place to focus for the duration of the meditation.
