Wandering Mind.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Question:

I know each person is different but I started the 21 day meditation experience and my mind wanders through out the mediation. I try to bring myself back to the mantra but it wanders again. I tried visualizing the ocean and the waves crashing again the beach but wasn’t successful in keeping my mind from wandering. What can I do to experience the “no thought state”?

Response:

When you sit down to meditate, don’t have expectations to experience the “no thought state.” That expectation is just a concept and   actual self-awareness is not a thought or concept. In fact it technically isn’t an experience either. Pure awareness is the background on which  all thoughts, feelings and experiences happen. It is the space we are in when our mind when our mind finishes one thought before it wanders to the next thought. That gap between thoughts is your true self. That is the state of “no thought”  Those transitory dips into the gap between thoughts are not like the concept of “no thought” you might be expecting. It is not flashy, and it doesn’t feel profound. Your true self is completely ordinary, transparent and still. We tend to overlook it because we are looking past it to some idea we have  of it in our mind. Think of your true self or “no thought state” as a movie or TV screen on which images are seen. If you think the seeing the screen is going to be  a particular image on the screen and you keep waiting for it, then you won’t recognize that the screen is there all the time regardless of the passing images.  Just like your pure awareness is always there regardless of the thoughts, feelings or expectations you have.

Love,

Deepak

    I was crushed when my lover of three years left to be with another woman. I cried and sobbed every day, until it got so bad that I reached out to the Internet for help. I wasted so much time and effort trying to get it back until I hit on the real thing. And it is her final magic. You were different from the rest - you are the diamond in the rough. Thank you from the bottom of my soul! I am extremely happy. I hope God blesses you, as you have to help me get my love back, to visit him in (thebrotherhoodtemple@gmail.com) can be of great help to all of you.
