Where to go after this wonderful three-part introduction to meditation?
Consider The Bodhicitta or Stilling The Mind.
from Mark Griffin:
“The breath is the key to the meditation process. You walk into any meditation hall in any culture and any tradition and you say, “I want to learn how to meditate” and the first thing the meditation teacher will tell you to do is to sit down, still your mind, begin to breath deeply and normally and watch your breath.
What they want you to notice is something that is very important. Not only is the breath a movement of gases inside and outside of the body, but it also carries the vitality of the life force, what we call life itself, prana shakti (the power of life). It is attenuated to the breath and it moves in and out of the body with each breath.
The inward breath enters and descends, the outward breath rises and expands and inside each breath, there is a vibration, a throb of pure vitality that is the prana shakti, which is the first face of an energy of infinite power that is called the kundalini – the great force of creation.
It is the movement of the prana that is your chariot, your vehicle, that spontaneously, without effort, carries you through these various sheaths of physical, subtle physical, causal and supra-causal, which are physical, electrical, mental and supra-mental.” ~ Mark Griffin, June 7, 2008
