Sit on it
Seated meditation brings stress relief

~ By LINDA SACCOCCIO ~

 

Last month I wrote about the nature of meditation as it arises in daily life. I emphasized that a seated meditation practice allows one to become more attuned to this. It also has many health benefits as it calms the nervous system and relaxes the body. It improves concentration and clarity.

There are many ways to approach meditation. If you are new to meditation and have little knowledge of it, you have an advantage. Without preconceived ideas or expectations and with this innocence you have, there is an opportunity to experience meditation authentically. I recommend starting without any formal prescription of what to do. Start by just sitting comfortably on the floor or ground in a quiet, pleasant place. You will begin to see your mind more exposed and true. This state of not knowing will show you how your mind works, what it expects, how active or agitated it may be, and how comfortable or uncomfortable it is with this empty form of silent sitting with no rules. This may be a profoundly insightful experience. If you decide to further your knowledge of meditation you may come to realize your first experiences with meditation revealed the essence that is the core of your nature and that plays out in meditation and in daily life.

 

After you have practiced for a time without any direction except, as they say in Zen “just sit,” you may want to consider a few general concepts. Mediation is a spontaneous act that cannot be forced. You can, however, create a situation conducive to the natural unfolding of meditation. Posture and comfort are of value in sustaining the natural flow of energy and breath in the body. Sitting on the edge of a cushion with the spine long and lifted will help this effort. Next consider the regularity of time and location. Find a peaceful room or place to sit. Choose a time when you will most likely be able to sit every day. In the early morning and before going to sleep are optimal times. The regularity you have with your practice will allow meditation to become a natural occurrence. With this steadiness you begin to train your mind to relax. You can meditate with eyes closed or slightly open with a soft gaze. In this way you begin to bring your awareness inward. Observe your thoughts without judgment or identification in order to let them pass. If you get caught up in a thought, which is common, notice this and have a sense of humor about it. You may choose to bring your attention to the gentle rise and fall of the breath as a way to occupy the mind’s desire for activity. The breath can be the point of concentration. Begin sitting for 10 minutes or so, and increase the duration as much as your schedule and desire allows.

May the pursuit of a comfortable, seated, meditation practice decrease stress in your life while expanding your awareness and deepening your experience of the present moment.
