Be Here Now April 6, 2013 Notes
Meditation requires a set of tools that focus the mind from its normal wanderings and brings us back from the immense pool of sensations in the body and thoughts in the mind. We can consider the tools as a way to bring us to HERE AND NOW and the state we generally refer to as meditation is a result of this focus. (The 8 limbs of yoga are described below in relation to meditation) These states of being will vary and I’ve attached a brief outline of brain states below. The apparent structure and form of all we notice is actually full of ‘space’ and this space contains a vast amount of potential energy. As we move into more subtle techniques of meditation we can start to associate more and more with the space.
