Everything that we experienced in life, starting from birth, always set you on a narrow focus of attention. In fact, this is the only form of attention recognized in our society. It is believed that if someone is not able to focus, then something is wrong with him - he is either sick or lazy, or something is wrong in him, and all that.
Throughout the history of civilization, people have invented a very, very many ways to train concentration, - at school, at work, at home ... And even when you are with your loved one, he also needs such attention. So, it can be argued that in this direction there is always a very, very strong pressure from society.
Of course, the ability to concentrate is not something terrible. Generally speaking, this is the basis for the development of our civilization, and for the individual, it is the basis for survival in modern society.
However, since we spend almost all our waking hours in concentration mode, without taking breaks, this contributes to the accumulation of stress and tension - physical stress and emotional stress.
In fact, any type of stress occurs as a result of how we direct our attention and because we hold it for too long.
In addition, a constant concentration of attention creates a constant increased tension of the eye muscles and muscles of the cervico-shoulder region, which entails somatic problems - impaired vision, poor blood supply to the brain (impaired ability to concentrate), osteochondrosis, hypertension and migraine.
Something needs to be done with this .... And what? As usual, a person begins to very creatively deal with the consequences, instead of acting on the cause. And on the market you will be offered many devices and devices for massage of the cervicobrachial region, from ordinary rollers to electrical stimulation.
In fact, the cause of stress and most diseases lies in the once learned behavior, changing which we change our fate.
Vision is the dominant organ of human senses, so the most effective way to dissipate stress is to change the way we look at the world.
When we learn to arbitrarily change the mode of our vision from the narrow, objectively intense attention that we used to maintain throughout the day, to a more diffused, more peripherally oriented one - when we see, notice and feel everything around us at the same time, our body, tastes and smells, we are aware of our thoughts, we feel our mind and the space in which all this happens, then we get a feeling of full presence - a feeling of being in the present moment “here and now”.
And when we achieve a similar state of attention, while simultaneously and equally aware of all our sensations, then our body begins to free itself and dissipate stress, normalizing physiological and mental functions.
The body goes into a pleasant, stable, even, balanced state in which many painful symptoms begin to dissipate, and natural self-healing, self-healing and even rejuvenation of the body occur.
Maybe this will not happen instantly - although some people have an instant reaction, depending on how deeply and fully they allow themselves to reveal their focus, and to naturally immerse themselves in their sensations. But over time, this is exactly what happens.
Thus, we can most quickly and efficiently affect eyestrain and stress by scattering the focus of our vision, and by means of training, merging simultaneously with all visual objects and space.
This meditation guides you, allowing you to change what you consider to be a figure and what you consider to be a background. It creates an environment that supports learning flexibility of attention, and you learn how to move from narrow objective tense attention to diffused streamlined laid-back attention, and vice versa.
Methodology
Important: your task is to let your imagination do all the work very naturally, which, of course, does not require any effort. When your imagination acts completely freely, and you do not force him to imagine something, but simply allow it to happen, then the imagination acts most creatively.
This meditation takes place with open eyes. During this meditation it is necessary to keep (but without any tension) your gaze on the central figure (point) of any painting, mandala, or natural landscape.
Any picture, or landscape, on which you can highlight some central figure or object, will do.
In this meditation, I, as in the previous ones, will ask questions: “Could you ...” The questions asked in this form help to circumvent current restrictions, making it possible for the subconscious to find the conditions under which the fulfillment of what has been said becomes possible (although not always the first time).
There will be 15 seconds between questions, and at this time it is necessary to keep attention on the object of the last question, without looking away from the central figure.
If you have any difficulty in imagining a specific image or feeling, let it not bother you. Just let your imagination stay focused on the subject matter, and let your sensation come about in the most natural way.
“Everything is achieved by exercises,” so you do not need to force events somehow. With each meditation, skills accumulate, and all this will come to you in a natural way.
If it seems to you that nothing concrete is happening or your mind is starting to wander, do not worry. If you suddenly notice that your attention goes away and focuses on some extraneous thought or image, do not resist and do not support this process, gradually allowing your focus to expand so that in addition to that thought or emotion, where your attention has gone, the image of my current question has additionally been included in the focus of your attention.
This meditation is self-sufficient, but each subsequent meditation in this series of Meditations of Presence is a little more complicated than the previous ones. Therefore, it will still be better if you first complete the full course (21 days) of basic meditation. It will be useful for someone to pre-complete the full course of the second and third presence meditations.
Each meditation in the Presence Meditation series involves some unique aspect of your perception. Therefore, consistent exercises by all give a systemic synergistic effect.
This meditation, in addition to the above positive effects, will be especially useful for artists, pilots, snipers, DRG fighters - in general, for all those who need to highlight subtle, but very important details on a complex, for detailed analysis, visual background. As training develops, important details will themselves be “highlighted” against the general background (“the look will cling to”), while at the same time you will receive appropriate confirmations (“interesting”, “dangerous”, “important”, etc. ) and at the level of feelings.
Also, positive changes will be noticed by those who deal with Schulte tables, speed reading and Film reading.
Once again, I would especially like to emphasize that meditation is not hard work, but a game. During meditation, keep your inner smile, breathe deeply (effortlessly) and evenly and play with your ideas, as if half asleep, or in dreams.
In order to transfer the effects of presence meditation in everyday situations, during meditation, it is recommended to sit with your back straight or to stand. A recumbent or inclined position, after a certain period of practice, will be ineffective, as this resembles the position in which you are sleeping.
Water plays an important role in conducting nerve impulses. With general dehydration, which is very common among urban residents, a headache may occur after listening. Therefore, I recommend that before meditation and immediately after drink a glass (well, at least half) of plain clean water.
It is best to do it twice a day, with a break of at least three hours.
The first positive changes will be noticeable after three weeks of regular classes. The consolidation of positive changes will occur in three months.
Duration of meditation: 34 minutes.
Using headphones is optional.
Be Healthy and Happy!
