Nice Tips!, they really work.

One more tip!, make a mantra for yourself; it can be anything; a word, two words or maybe a complete sentence.

Cheers! PIPO

Regarding the first tip, I think of the center of my body several times a day, especially when I wake up. It has been a great and rewarding exercise, that helps me renew and be conscious of this warm and happy feeling during all day long :)

I really recommend this :D

Marvellous Maria!

Dear María Luz,

It's very nice that you try the exercise. We call it "meditating when our eyes are opened". This will help you preserve our inner peace between meditation sessions and you don't need to restart every time you close your eyes and meditate.

Nice tips and stilling a human mind is so hard!! I have been following time tips and doing it during my time of travel or in office. I can feel some change, not sure how to term it. I am totally relaxed in office now days.:))

Talking about activities to do during the day, I think this could be useful in this topic:

The 10 homework assignments:

1. Make the effort to see the virtues in yourself and others. Congratulate others on their virtues and give them the opportunity to congratulate you on yours
2. Keep daily notes of your meditation experiences in a diary;
3. Before going to sleep, recollect the good deeds you have done throughout the day;
4. Center your mind before falling asleep;
5. Upon waking, immediately reconnect your attention with the center of the body;
6. Before getting up, take a minute to recollect that you are lucky to be alive and remind yourself that you will surely die one day in the unknown future. Spread love and kindness to all living beings throughout the world;
7. Throughout the day, create a feeling that you are united with the mental meditation object(eg. sun or moon) at the centre of the body;
8. Take one minute of every hour to still your mind and think of the mental object at the center of the body;
9. Recollect the mental object at the center of the body while conducting other activities throughout the day; whether that be brushing your teeth, standing around, showering, driving, exercising, etc.;
10. Smile and speak in an endearing way;

Thanks for the tips. Today I was "meditating with opened eyes" for many parts of the day and then my meditation session was a healing experience! It really helps to feel and keep the connection with the center. I am really enjoying this!

Muchas gracias!

Please can someone clarify the practice of meditating with open eyes? I am very interested in it!

We meditate with our eyes closed, we sit down, relax, close the eyes and connect with our center While doing other things ( like working, commuting, talking to people ) we can bring the mind to the center, be mindful, keep a clear and pure mind It is one example of meditating with open eyes

Hi, I can feel the center of my body but sometimes I lose, My biggest problem is with the position of the legs which put me to sleep, what I can do?????

Dear Blanca,

You can sit on a chair of course if sitting on the floor hurts your leg. Loosing the center is OK as you are still new to meditation. It's like when you were learning English, you might sometimes accidentally speak some Spanish words, which got mixed into the sentence. The only thing I can say is "practice makes perfect".

... Believe in yourself ...

Thanks

Hoy he empezado con el ejercicio, como todo, es ir practicando, no?. Desconocía la meditación mientras haces tus cosas del día. Muchas gracias a todo el mundo por sus consejos y opiniones. PAZ y feliz día

well i have few day in this and today I feel something strange, I put my mind in a deep black something like space until I can see little white point like star, I this space I feel comfortable, sometime I lose my concentration but was a good experience.

Dear Jeisson,

Being in the space and observing a white dot is a very good experience. But you shouldn't expect for it as if you could still enjoy watching the sky during the night whether or not the full moon is shinning. By developing this contentment, your meditation will be continuously improved. I'm sure about that :)

Thank you for explantation!

Thank you very much for The Tip, I am going to put it in practice while I am enjoying my meditations session with open and close eyes :) Nice day for everyone

Thanks so much for the TIps.. please can you explain more about the center of the body? giving more explanation about that will make it more meaningful and this is going to make someone to be able to create a mental image of it...

Great tips, I am going to apply them in my daily routine, thanks :)
