Медитация 17

[Говорящий 2] (0:00 - 0:04)
We'll do a short meditation, and then get to the class.

[Говорящий 1] (0:11 - 1:50)
Start with your breath, single object, just your breath. There's nothing else in the world, just your breath. Then come to a golden moon.

It's on the side of a mountain. Sunlight pouring in. Covering the room with a deep gold color.

All the objects in the room are covered in a deep golden color.

[Говорящий 2] (1:51 - 2:33)
Sunlight. If your mind leaves the golden color, bring it back. Relax into the golden color.

[Говорящий 1] (2:34 - 2:46)
Feel a sense of contentment to stay just there, without planning anything or being aware of this room.

[Говорящий 2] (2:47 - 4:09)
Just be satisfied to be on the golden color. Come into the room. Look at the sky.

Look out the window. See the sky.

[Говорящий 1] (4:10 - 4:13)
Be the sky and the sky.

[Говорящий 2] (4:15 - 4:33)
Don't think of anything else. Be content to stay in the sky. Have not relaxed into the sky.

[Говорящий 1] (5:41 - 6:12)
Then drop your view down from the sky to the mountains. These mountains are distant, and they are separated from the window, from the house, by a large valley, also covered in the light afternoon light. Try to focus on the feeling of expansiveness.

[Говорящий 2] (6:13 - 6:17)
It will help you meditate in about three or four minutes.

[Говорящий 1] (7:03 - 7:24)
Check your face for any tension, especially the corners of your mouth and forehead between the eyebrows. Try to pay attention to the top of your eyelids. Is there any tension there?

[Говорящий 2] (7:26 - 8:11)
Release them. Bring the mind back into the golden room.

[Говорящий 1] (8:12 - 8:56)
Be aware of yourself sitting in the deep golden light, and then request your heart teacher, whoever that may be, to come and sit in front of you, very close, like knees touching knees. Try to feel their presence, not as a visualization, but as a real person. Their chest is moving up and down with the breath.

You can feel the warmth of their body on the front of your body.

[Говорящий 2] (8:57 - 9:18)
You can smell that subtle fragrance that comes from the skin. When they look at you, they're blinking sometimes. Relax into your teacher.

[Говорящий 1] (9:21 - 13:18)
Try to bring up a sense of contentment to stay in this room quietly, just you two, silent, warm in the golden light. Just try very hard to just be contented, to stay there, looking at their face, looking into their eyes, and just stay there. You don't have anything else to do.

You don't need to worry about anything else right now. Just look into their eyes, feel that mutual love, and surrender quietly into it. Check and see if any of the classical problems of meditation are coming up.

Does the mind feel dull or unclear? You're maybe a little sleepy or tired. You're losing the freshness of your attention.

Or watch for the opposite problem. Your mind is a little bit yancy. It wants to think about lunch or your plans for this evening.

You can circumnavigate those classical problems of meditation simply by bringing up the sensation of nirvana. Nirvana is that contentment to stay with the object, and enjoyment of the object, which is your teacher's eyes. Try to bring up an emotion of contentment with staying on your teacher's eyes.

Then you won't have the two famous problems of either feeling that the mind is not fresh or thinking about your plans for this evening or tomorrow.

[Говорящий 2] (13:26 - 16:44)
A sense of contentment to stay on your teacher's eyes. Slowly come back to this one. You can open your eyes.
