Unseeking Seeker Poet Etheree

How To Meditate

We 
begin
by looking
inwards gently,
without agenda,
devoid of all desires,
which are invariably
merely ego urgings feral.
We shift deep into our heart centre,
abiding in thought rested awareness.

Well begun is half done, so what remains?
What self blocks ever present silence?
Why does attention oscillate?
Let us pause cause of stupor,
choosing to resonate
with the throb of love
aglow within:
the current,
joyful
bliss.

Darlene De Beaulieu November 17, 2020 at 12:04 PM Hello Unseeker Seeking, We need the quiet to medicate It helps to mind to concentrate. We use a certain word to concentrate on to be peaceful. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu November 18, 2020 at 12:00 PM Hello Unseeker Seeking, I always feel better after I medicate. I do this after i pray. Yes concentration implies an effort. It took me awhile to master medication. I do this every night. Enjoy your day my friend. Unseeking Seeker November 17, 2020 at 6:37 PM Thanks for dropping in Darlene! Words mean different things for different people, since our perceptions add their own colour to the word. Let’s just say, concentration implies effort of lower mind to grasp, whereas meditation is surrender of doership, energising higher mind to connect. Former is stagnation, the latter, liberation.
