    \n
  • Active Visualisation<\/li>\n
  • Active Focus<\/li>\n
  • Detachment and Centering in Pure Consciousness<\/li>\n

    Types of Meditation<\/h3>\n\n

    Active Visualisation<\/h3>\n\n

    Very popular in the New Age movement.\u00a0 Involves directing positive imagery and emotions<\/p>\n\n

    The Inner Smile
    Taoist Meditation
    by Master Mantak Chia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n

    Active Focus (One-pointedness)<\/h3>\n\n

    Patanjali (Raja) yoga, some Buddhist meditations, Mantra yoga (when done properly)
    Focusing the attention in a single point<\/p>\n\n

    Detachment and Centering in Pure Consciousness<\/h3>\n\n

    When thoughts arise one realises that they are not a part of oneself.\u00a0 Just as passing clouds don’t touch the blueness of the sky, tho they might veil it, thoughts pass across the Consciousness (the awareness, the “I”) can’t affect it.\u00a0 You are not your thoughts – you are the observer of your thoughts<\/p>\n\n

    An exercise:<\/h4>\n\n

    When\u00a0 you have some time and won’t be disturbed, just sit down in a comfortable position, (back straight helps but not essential) and just focus on that realisation, be aware that u are the WATCHER, the OBSERVER, and just hold that detachment as long as u can….<\/p>\n\n

    When thoughts arise you just watch each one without getting caught up in it, until it passes and a\u00a0 new one comes up, & so on until finally they stop coming up and then suddenly for a\u00a0 moment there’s nothing but this amazing stillness and vastness…..<\/p>\n\n

    \u00a0Who are You?<\/p>\n\n

    \u00a0The Buddhist Practice of Mindfullness<\/p>\n
