    Day 1. Centering the mind.

    We take our body for granted all the time.  When we are sick, weak and helpless, we prayed for speedy recovery.  We even promised to ourself to exercise, quit junk food and adopt healthier diet.  Most of the time, when we got better, we eventually forgotten these promises.  Often commitments of our work, studies and other indulgences take priority over care for our mind, body and soul. Without physical fitness and healthy functioning organs, our mental state would eventually suffer too.  Meditation can be a quick check of the health of our mind, body and soul (MBS).  It like going to the gym to workout our body.  If we come out of the gym feeling terrible, its an indication of out lack of physical fitness.  If we come out of meditation session feeling disturbed by the mental noises, it's an indication of the lack of mental fitness.  A good mental state motivates us to eat right, do exercises and have a vibrant social activity. If you have never meditated before, you probably would want to understand more and ask questions from what you heard about meditation.  The problem is, many people spent too much time learning about meditation  rather than trying to do it.  The only way to learn to ride a skate board is to get on the board and learn as you practice.  The same for learning to ride a bicycle.  Nobody learns to ride a bicycle by reading a manual.  The rest of this book will reveal many aspects of meditation that would help you to gain your own “balance and riding that skate board”.  But we need to start doing it. Let’s begin with our first session to center our mind.  This is the foundation for all meditations to come.

    19 Dealing with Separations and Death

    Episode 19. Dealing with separations and death Separation from love ones is an emotional experience.  Death is the most difficult of all separations. Whether its death of a pet, a friend, or a family member it affects us deeply because it is an ultimatum where they would never return, plus the uncertainty of where they went. In the Law of Karma, death marks the beginning of another cycle of one’s life. To let go of emotions from someone who has left us, we fill our memories of them with happy moments and good deeds that  they have done, knowing that these thoughts will transfer bright energy to help them on their journey ahead. When we recall good deeds we have done our mind brightens and these merits can be transfer to them through meditation. The Monkey Mind is meditation podcast to train the mind to slow down and be Still.  When the mind is Still  clarity arises, and we experience a sense of inner peace and happiness. This is a production of TheCEOMonk.com the publisher of the book:  “A CEO, an Entrepreneur, a Tourist and the Monk.   Its inner peace time. Find a quiet corner where you feel safe and would have minimal disturbance. Sit comfortably on a chair or on a cushion on the floor in a meditation posture. Slowly and gently take in a few deep breathe.  Feel the air entering your body and releases through your lips  As you breathe in and out…. Feel all your muscles relaxing. Allow your eye lids to close, touching gently without squeezing them too tight. Just simply relax and be aware of your breathe… inhale and exhale… inhale and exhale in and out Allowing everything to slow down and scan your body to relax every muscles from the forehead to the tips of your fingers and your toes.  Scan up and down another round, breathing gently and relaxing as you put a gentle smile on your lips. Let you mind hover at the center of your body, at a spot in the middle of your abdomen.  You can keep the mind here by visualising a simple mental object like a crystal, that is clear and brilliant. Practice a gentle awareness of the presence of this crystal object. Do not try too hard to focus. You may try keep a passive awareness at the peripheral of your space. When we can detach our desires and longing from anything, we begin to liberate our mind. First lets empty our minds from thots of the future.  Events that has not happen, for the next few moments, lets not think of them. Set the free - like letting go the strings of a Helium air balloon.  Let it float away. Now empty our minds from thots of the past. Events in the past cannot be change. For the next few moments, lets not think of them.  untie the mind from the past. Like closing the door of a storage room and locking it so we won’t have to deal with them anymore. What we have now is the present moment. Out breath, our heart beats reminds us of the present. Simple, alive, and real. Empty. Clear, bright. Empty. Clear. Bright. Emory clear bright. I am empty. I and clear, I am bright. Continue to repeat these mantra from the center of the abdomen. Repeatedly continuously let, set them free. I am empty, I am clear,  am bright. Feel the calmness and peacefulness at the center of the body, where the air that your breathe in fills up inside your abdomen   Just surrender to the feelings of peace, happiness, lightness, brightness and any sensation inside you. Bring your consciousness to feeling the stillness, lightness - clear, soft and bright. Just being there. Let it be. Do nothing as the ripples of brightness spreads into infinity. Continue to enjoy this sensation for a few moments in silence. As gently as you can, take a few deep breathes to bring your consciousness back to the surrounding around you.  Recall this nice feelings that you just experienced.  Knowing that you can always come back to this feeling anytime in the future.  Put a soft nice smile on your lips as you open your eyes.
