Chatting Meditation

Instructions: Talk and chat out-loud for 10 minutes in a language(s) that you do NOT know. Keep the chatting conversational; yelling or screaming or crying or even "talking in tongues" is not what this meditation is about. This meditation is about bringing awareness to one of your most ordinary mental activities. This meditation is about bringing awareness to the place where you actually live, to an activity you actually do. Please do this meditation alone, do not have anyone in the room with you. I am going to mention again that this meditation is to be done out-loud and out-loud only! Chatting out-loud brings a heightened awareness to the activity, doing it out-loud can also help to release some of your stored garbage. I know that 99% of your life is lived in ordinary conversations; ordinary conversations have had far greater cumulated impact on your life than the more extreme communications such as screams of terror or guffaws of laughter. Any tone is acceptable, you may be: angry, apologetic, animated, boring, pragmatic, argumentative, flirtatious, conciliatory, demanding, inquisitive ... any tone you would experience or express in conversation is acceptable. Ahh, and one more thing, you are not to stop talking! Talk non-stop for the 10 minutes.

The second part of the meditation is to just be without chatting.

A friendly commentary: The people who most need this meditation are usually the people who find it the most excruciating. Hahahaha, don't let that frighten you, it really is a lovely meditation.

Easy Meditation (two examples!)

I was watching some disciples attempting to meditate; I was watching them both from the outside and the inside. They were making a great effort, yet despite their effort, meditation had evaded them. Whilst watching them, I could see that meditation was evading them because of their effort. Their effort was creating a conflict within. As they became aware of each conflict within, they reacted by making a greater effort to meditate, which created even more conflict, and then again, required even more effort on their part to meditate. I created this meditation for them, and for you.

Instructions: This is an awareness and response meditation. Bring your awareness to yourself, being particularly aware of any effort you are making. Respond to the effort you are aware of with complete EASYNESS; be the embodiment of EASY. Repeat with each effort you become aware of. Once you are comfortable bringing EASY to your efforts, try bringing EASY to everything you are aware of in yourself, no matter what it may be. When effort disappears and you are EASY about all that you find in yourself, it is then a lot easier to be aware of who you are.

Yes Meditation

Instructions: The first part of the technique is to watch your thought. When your thought has come to it's completion, name it for yourself and then respond with a YES. Repeat as necessary. For example: “That thought was: the camera man's mobile phone timer just went off, thought” -YES-. “That thought was: the camera man is now giggling, thought” -YES-. If there is no thought, then there is no response. If there is no thought there is no need to respond with YES. YES, is your response, YES is not to be repeated as a mantra. Be the embodiment of YES as your response. During the meditation, respond as YES to all thoughts whether they are negative or positive. Do not attempt to curtail your thought with a YES, allow the thought to finish and then respond with YES during the gap between thoughts.

The second part of the technique is to just be, quietly without any technique. Allow as much time for the second part of the meditation as you did for the first part. For example if you spent approximately 20 minutes doing the YES part of the technique, then allow another 20 minutes to be without any technique. Please use a timer for both parts of this meditation (perhaps your mobile phone has a timer you can use).

Howardfish Meditation

The HOWARDFISH MEDITATION is a variation of the YES MEDITATION. Please read the YES MEDITATION instructions before reading the instructions for this variation.

Instructions: Start as you would for the YES MEDITATION, however, your prepared response is: NO. Continue in this manner for 4 to 10 minutes.

Then for the second part, your prepared response is: YES. Continue for a length of time equal to what you just spent with NO as your response in the first part.

Finally, for the third part, be without any response.

The following is an example:

For the first part, set your timer for 4 minutes. Watch your thoughts, and respond with NO.

“I meant to put toothpaste on my shopping list” NO, “I feel odd being no to the toothpaste thought” NO, “I need to get a better cushion for this meditation” NO, “Where is my shopping list?” NO, ... continue in this manner for the duration of the 4 minutes.

For the second part, reset your timer for 4 minutes. Watch your thoughts and respond with YES.

“I don't like that toothpaste anyway” YES, “Am I doing this meditation correctly?” YES, “I think there is more toothpaste in the drawer under the sink” YES, “I think that I forgot to say YES to a thought” YES, “I left the shopping list on top of the fish tank” YES ... continue in this manner for the duration of the 4 minutes.

For the third part, reset your timer for 4 minutes. Watch your thoughts, but do not respond.

“I don't think I can do this without reacting or responding” , “It is not on the fish-tank, I gave the list to Robert”, “I have not had sex since Tuesday”, “I need a new toothbrush as well”, “This meditation cushion smells like the dog” ... continue in this manner for the duration of the 4 minutes.

This Is What It Is To Be Right Now Meditation

I'll begin and end this film with a demonstration of the THIS IS WHAT IT IS TO BE RIGHT NOW meditation. I'll also introduce you to some of my friends.

Instructions: Be aware of what it is to be in the present moment.

Commentary: This is an excellent “in the moment” meditation. For example: doing this meditation during an awkward or uncomfortable moment prevents the accumulation of any baggage associated with that particular moment. It is possible to accumulate baggage from any moment that you deny, including happy and ordinary moments.

As you are likely to find it a bit challenging to be aware during those moments you would ordinarily try and escape from, I suggest that you first explore this meditation technique during moments that are not particularly challenging for you.

Warning: Knowing what it is to be right now, does come at a price; you will have to give up your stupidity and your insanity.

Playtime Meditation

Instructions: Consciously give your mind permission to think whatever it wants. You may even wish to say to your mind “For the next 15 minutes you have my permission to think absolutely anything that you want.” Once you have given your mind permission to think anything it wants, acknowledge each subsequent thought with “this is what my mind wants to be thinking right now” or “my mind is doing exactly as it pleases”.

Commentary: If love is present then the permission granted to the mind will be sincere and true. However, if love is not present, then the permission will be false and nothing more than the usual relationship of judgements or demands imposed upon the mind. If the permission is not total, then the mind will not actually be free to do as it pleases. Therefore, this meditation technique is possible, only if total permission is granted with love, and sincerity.

A person who can grant their mind a moment of love and freedom is a person worthy of their mind's friendship. Conversely, someone who condemns and judges their mind is doomed to pretty much the same in return. Actually, a person who condemns their mind is also likely to be a person who identifies as their mind.

Oh, and by the way, I give my mind permission to think or to not think anything it wants; I actually give my mind permission to do or to not do anything it wants. I then acknowledge what ever my mind is doing or not doing with “my mind is doing exactly as it pleases”. And yes, I freely admit that this meditation technique assumes that you already know your Self as more than just the mind; but don't let that stop you, try it anyway.

An Anecdote: I remember how I was enjoying a hot shower at home when I created this meditation technique. It came about because I was watching/listening to a disciple (and no, he was not in the shower cubicle with me - he was on another continent at the time) who had such a hatred for his mind, that I actually felt more than a little sorry - sorry not just for his mind; but for all minds, mine included! To this day, I really have no idea if that disciple has ever made an honest go of this meditation or not, but I still vividly remember my first exploration of this meditation whilst enjoying my shower - it was really beautiful. Unfortunately, I do not know how to convey that beauty to you, but I will mention that my mind was in harmony with itself - in harmony with nature. Not only that, but my mind was profoundly grateful for being cherished/encouraged/nourished/accepted in this way.

Everything and Nothing Meditation

Start by being aware of what is inside of you. Or start by being aware of what you are feeling. Or start by being aware of how it feels for you to exist in this particular moment.

Then feel the feeling or be completely aware of the sensation. If you are aware without creating any distractions for yourself then a response or transformation happens of its own accord.

The First Example: Meditator “A” has just hung up the phone after speaking with Person “B”. Meditator “A” is aware of an indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” gives all of their awareness and attention to feeling that indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” feels the indescribable feeling but does nothing more; meaning Meditator “A” does not escape into any thoughts (such as perhaps how much Meditator “A” hates or fears or desires Person “B”). Meditator “A” does not create any distractions for himself/herself, but rather just focuses all of his/her energy on feeling the feeling or being aware of the sensation.

Because Meditator “A” is feeling the feeling and nothing more, a response happens of its own accord. A transformation occurs all by itself.

Once the response or transformation has occurred, Meditator “A” may then choose to stop the meditation or to continue. If Meditator “A” chooses to continue, he or she may continue by being aware of what is inside of him/her. Or continue by being aware of what he/she is feeling. Or continue by being aware of how it feels for him/her to exist in this particular moment. Meditator “A” will then feel the feeling without distraction or be completely aware of the sensation. A response or transformation will occur once again.

The Second Example: Meditator “A” has just hung up the phone after speaking with person “B”. Meditator “A” is aware of an indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” feels the feeling and then thinks how much they are annoyed by Person “B”, and then thinks about what they should have said to Person “B” and about what they will say next time and how Person “B” will be shown up for the fool they are and...

No response or transformation happens. Meditator “A” is exactly the same as they were at the beginning of the meditation. Meditator “A” used his/her energy to think thoughts or fantasies instead of feeling or being aware of the indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” used thinking to avoid feeling the indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” distracted himself/herself from the feeling by creating a story. Meditator “A” cannot multi task. Meditator “A” cannot do two things at once; he/she can either feel the feeling or tell himself/herself the stories.

The Third Example: Meditator “A” has just hung up the phone after speaking with person “B”. Meditator “A” is aware of an indescribable feeling. Meditator “A” feels the feeling for a moment and then thinks to himself/herself how he/she must feel to the exclusion of all else and that he/she will force this feeling so that his/her desired outcome happens. Meditator “A” has thought instead of being aware, Meditator “A” has put their energy into a story instead of feeling the feeling. Meditator “A” knows no response, and no transformation happens. Meditator “A” is the same as he/she was at the beginning of the meditation.

You are already an expert with the second and third examples; so why not give the first example a try?
