Exploring Personal Meditation Techniques: A Journey to Enlightenment

Neurofeedback notifications and social media distractions aside, the path towards inner peace and enlightenment is a journey individuals often embark on independently. In my personal journey, I have explored various meditation methods, each offering its unique insights. This article delves into the different meditation techniques that have resonated with me, focusing on the effects and personal experiences behind them.

Mindfulness: Enhancing Presence through Awareness

Mindfulness meditation is the simplest and perhaps the most ubiquitous of all meditation techniques. The essence of mindfulness is to engage in whatever you are doing with full awareness and presence. The beauty of this practice lies in its accessibility—it can be practiced any time and anywhere, making it a highly versatile tool for modern life.

Eye-Close and Eye-Open Techniques

I have found that the sitting meditation with eyes closed or open, focusing on the space between the eyebrows, to be particularly effective. Over time, this practice helps the energy within the body to collect in this area, allowing one to observe any stuck energy and personal biases, often referred to as asmita. Strikingly, this technique delves into the core of what ties us to the physical world, targeting the fifth skandha, which is consciousness.

Besides achieving a state of true single-pointed focus on the third eye for 5 seconds, this meditation works to enhance awareness and detachment from constant mental chatter. This direct application of pressure to the spiritual eye is a key component of the technique, guiding individuals towards spiritual awakening. With consistent practice, this meditation shifts from requiring active focus to a state of passive awareness.

Exploring Different Meditation Schools

My exploration into meditation did not stop with the popular techniques. I delved into a variety of meditation schools and methods, including:

Patanjali Yoga Sutras Popular free meditation classes (Brahma Kumaris, Sahaj Yoga, Gayatri Parivar, Ramkrishna Mission)

Initially, understanding these sutras and texts was challenging, but through practical experience and trial-and-error, I gradually began to grasp their deeper meanings. These experiences paved the way for the development of my own meditation technique, which has since become easier to learn through online resources and personalized guidance from meditation teachers.

The Psychology of Contentment and Enlightenment

The original meditation advice is not only the simplest but also the most profound. As the ancient ascetic Gautama (later known as the Buddha) stated, Nirvana (perfect happiness) is the extinction of dukkha (thinking - all conscious mental activity).
This insight is fundamental in meditation. When practicing mindfulness, we take a momentary break from conscious mental activity, allowing us to experience a profound state of contentment. By staying alert and passive, we can observe the mind in its current state, leading to a more profound and lasting sense of inner peace.

Conclusion

Each meditation technique offers a unique path to enlightenment, and the journey is as varied as the individuals who undertake it. Whether you choose to explore mindfulness, engage with advanced techniques, or seek personalized guidance, the key is consistency and a willingness to look within.
