Медитация 11

[Speaker 1]
Okay, we're going to do a meditation.

[Speaker 2]
So, please get ready for meditation.

[Speaker 1]
Relax your mouth. Relax your eyes. Relax your fingers.

[Speaker 2]
Pull in your stomach.

[Speaker 1]
Come to your breath. We're going to stay on the breath for 30 or 40 breaths, so just stay on the breath. You can practice driving the car with your breath.

Does the mind get grey and a little bit sleepy? Or is it bright and clear? And then sometimes, does it get too bright and clear, and you start thinking about what's for lunch or something?

If you're a male, you're always thinking about what's for lunch. I don't know why.

[Speaker 2]
Thirty breaths.

[Speaker 1]
Then the next death meditation is to think about people you've heard who died. So, every day on the television, on the internet, they talk about someone who died. Frequently we get emails from people, their mother died, their grandmother died, or maybe they died.

So, in this meditation for five minutes, just think about people you heard who died. When I did my three-year retreat, I thought, oh, I'm going to count up all the people I know who died. I thought it would be about 15 people, and it was almost 200 I think.

So, think about people, stories you heard, news you heard of people who died recently. Okay, here we go.

[Speaker 2]
Please take three deep breaths, and then stretch.

[Speaker 1]
Again, the goal is not to get sad or depressed, okay? The goal is to maybe streamline your life a little bit?

[Speaker 2]
Like, cancel a few of those projects you had, focus on the more important ones, okay? Okay, like that.

[Speaker 1]
Alright.
