Meditation

 

Be awake

Sit straight

Be comfortable

Attend to the breath

Be aware

 

Perception occurs

Not this

Watch to the breath

Be aware

 

Feelings arouse

Not this

Encourage the breath

Be Aware

 

Thoughts wander in

Not this

Witness the breath

Be aware

 

Will urges movement

Not this

Atone with the breath

Be aware

 

The mind is such that it takes on the characteristics of that which it is focused on

 

Breath in

Be aware of the inspiration

Breath out

Be aware of the expiration

Between the exhale and inhale there is a pause

There is quiet

 

Be aware of the stillness of the mind

There the seer resides in peace

Realization comes from this meditation

Go forth and breath this realization
