Stress Relief Techniques-9-Raveendran Nair-Malayali Astrologer in Delhi-9871690151
Vipassana meditation
techniques for stress relief.(Collection from various books of Theravada Budhism ).
Part-9.
Our practice is to be aware of
pleasant feelings without desperately trying to make them last when they go
away. Our practice is also to be aware of unpleasant feelings without
struggling to get rid of them when they come. We can also learn to be aware of
neutral feelings without being bored or restless.
Letting feelings come and go
by themselves and simply staying aware of them without getting caught up in
them, we weaken the forces of greed, hatred, and delusion that are the causes
of all suffering.
Our practice then leads
directly to an abiding happiness and peace.
Mind-states (emotions)
Like coloured glasses that can
affect our vision, mind-states, or emotions, can affect our experience. The
world appears very different when we are angry and when we are at ease.
Mind-states continued
Mind-states can be either
wholesome, like generosity and kindness, or unwholesome, like fear and cruelty.
All unwholesome mind-states can be traced back to greed, hatred, and delusion,
the roots of all suffering.
Mind-states are like clouds
passing through the "sky" of our minds. Some appear dark and stormy;
others are light and fluffy. They are all visitors to our awareness. We do not
invite them. They come and go by themselves.
Whether the mind-states are
pleasant or unpleasant, our practice is the same: being aware of them as
changing, passing experiences, not solid, not able to be grasped.
Our entire task in meditation
is not to "identify" with mind-states or anything else that is
changing. This means not claiming mind-states as "me" or
"mine", not "owning" them.
Notice also how body
sensations, feeling-tones, and mind-states interact in your experience.
By practicing in this way, we
continue to weaken the forces of greed, hatred, and delusion and experience the
mind's natural radiance and peace, unaffected by whatever is coming and going.
