The eight postures in a meditation exercise

I would like to share something I have learned and I believe it will help your to meditate and see your true self. I have tried the exercise and have touch base with my mind and have a glimpse of clarity.

1. Sit crossed leg with the left leg on your right thigh and the right leg on your left thigh. If you feel uncomfortable , just sit with your leg folded ;
2. Your arms should not be too close to your body, leave some space between your arm and your body ;
3. Your lips should rest comfortably on top of each other ;
4. Your tongue rest comfortably behind your upper front teeth;
5. Your spinal cord should be straight, if you are uncomfortable , rest your back against the wall;
6. Your neck should rest on your shoulder and keep upright;
7. Your palm rest on your tight , with both palms facing upwards;
8. Your eyes should be open and be aware of your thoughts moving through your mind.

If your posture is right, you will be sitting stable and like a glass of water , if it is placed on a even table, the water in it will be still and all the residues will settle and the water is clear. If you sit properly, you Will have the same effect, your mind will be clear. Don't fight your thoughts. Just watch your thouts coming in and out and do not act on it ,just relax your mind. Your mind is like the waves , it will continue to hit your mind , just watch it and accept it.

It is never a simple exercise, it would not happen like you feel the  sweat after a jogging exercise. After many attempts, you will feel a bit comfortable and calmness will prevail. Just keep at it like Tai Chi and qigong, you have to practice consistently before you feel it. Once you feel it ,just go for it and make it part of you.

Namaste.
