POSTURE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Take a comfortable, disciplined, lotus-like straight posture.<\/p>\n

Do not give into changing that posture, adjusting, relieving discomfort . . .<\/p>\n

If you begin to feel pain, observe pain’s location, intensity, quality, meanderings . . .<\/p>\n

Trust that this is important for any future exercise of the spirit.<\/p>\n

BODY SENSATIONS<\/span><\/h1>\n

Become aware of any sensation in your body. They are already there without you being aware of them.<\/p>\n

Try to detect any sensation in your body, no matter how hard it is to detect.<\/p>\n

Do not think about those sensations but actually feel them.<\/p>\n

Stay with any sensations for few seconds and move on to detect sensations in other parts of your body.<\/p>\n

Do not indulge in relaxations that this exercise might provide you with.<\/p>\n

Keep on becoming aware of sensations in your body.<\/p>\n

BREATHING<\/span><\/h1>\n

Notice that this is not an exercise in breathing, but exercise in breathing AWERENESS.<\/p>\n

Become aware of every breath-in \/ breath-out, be resolute not to miss one of them.<\/p>\n

Stay with the area of nostrils alone, do not go into lungs, belly,<\/p>\n

do not try to control your diaphragm movements.<\/p>\n

If your mind carries you away return as soon as possible to your focus: breath-in \/ breath-out.<\/p>\n

Notice the different quality of the air entering and coming out.<\/p>\n

Not one breath is the same. Feel the difference in your nostrils.<\/p>\n

Breathing is your best friend. It is always present, with you, in you and, as unbelievable as might seem, through this humble exercise, it may bring you peace.<\/p>\n

SOUNDS<\/span><\/h1>\n

The goal of this exercise is to reach the zone of silence.<\/p>\n

Silence is not directly reachable. Silence is the background to all sounds.<\/p>\n

Do not seek quiet places, pleasing sounds, do not try to silence the sounds to create an artificial silence.<\/p>\n

Rather listen to all sounds, outside, inside, near, distant, louder, softer.<\/p>\n

By listening to them, accepting them, you advance on the way to silence.<\/p>\n

Admire the great diversity of sounds: their intensity, pitch, reverberations . . .<\/p>\n

Attempt to hear them individually, hear them also together as if an orchestra playing.<\/p>\n

The result of your exercise may be a feeling of gratitude, admiration, pleasure, praise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
