Погружение в нирвану (2012, Нью-Йорк и Багамы), занятие 1

[Speaker 1]
Would you like to start with some meditation? Make your face soft, breathe deeply. Be very, very quiet, don't move.

Relax your mouth, relax your lips. Very quiet, don't move. Relax your eyelids, very soft eyelids.

The creases in your eyelids are soft. Your tummy is pulling a little bit to loosen your back. Then slowly start to come to your breath, watch your breath.

Let the mind rub up against the breath, keep the mind in contact with the breath. Breath will move, the mind stays still. Come to watch your thoughts.

Take a piece of your mind, take a small piece of your mind. Let it separate from the main mind. Let it come back away from the mind.

I like to imagine it's coming out of the back of my head. Small piece of my mind. And now it's going to watch my main mind think its thoughts.

So, it's like watching the conversation. I'm watching my mind as it listens to the thoughts which arise. Don't try to control the thoughts.

Just watch the mind listening to the thoughts that come up because of karma. Now please see how many of the thoughts are about the future. How many thoughts are about tonight or tomorrow or next week.

Don't try to change them, just watch. How many thoughts are about the past. What happened last week, last month, last year.

Don't try to change them, just listen and watch. Thoughts about the noise outside are future thoughts. Your mind is planning to go there and listen.

Bring it back. Now stop the future thoughts, stop the past thoughts. If you haven't thought about the past, if you haven't thought about the future, stop it.

Bring the mind to this place, these people.

[Speaker 2]
No thoughts about the future, no thoughts about the past. All thoughts here, in this room.

[Speaker 1]
Slowly come back to your breath. When you are ready, you can open your eyes. You can stretch your arms.

Watch your mirror.
