This is a very simple meditation - just note that whatever you are doing is being done by truth. So, if you are walking it is truth walking ; if you are sleeping, it is truth sleeping ; if you are speaking, it is truth speaking ; if you are opening your eyes, it is truth opening your eyes; if you are being silent ,it is truth that is silent .
"Whatsoever the situation- if you are sad be sad ,if you are in a revengeful mood take your revenge, if you are jealous be jealous ,if you are angry be angry- never avoid the fact. You have to live it, that is a part of life's progress, growth, evolution.Those who avoid,remain immature.If you want to remain immature then go on avoiding , but remember , you are avoiding life itself.Whatsoever you are avoiding is not the point; the very avoiding is an
avoidance of life.
Confront life. Encounter life.Difficult moments will be there but one day you will see that those difficult moments gave you strength because you encountered them .They were meant to be .Those dififcult moments are hard when passing through them but later on you will see they have made you more integrated. With out them you would never have been centered ,grounded.
The old religions all over the world have been repressive: the new religion of the future is going to be expressive... Let expression be one of the most fundamental rules of your life.
Even if you have to suffer for it, suffer. You will never be a loser. That suffering will make you more and more capable of enjoying life, of rejoicing in life..

For Insomnia - gentle Gibberish or Glossolalia
Q: What can I do about Insomnia ?? Which alot of us seem to deal with..
METHOD: When before you go to sleep. Duration : 5-30 minutes....of gentle gibberish
Gibberish , also know as Glossolalia, is the meditation technique of speaking in nonsense
sounds and syllables. This is a method that will help to empty the mind quickly. In this meditation it is good to begin first with gentle gibberish.
Usually we go on thinking and remembering ,even in our sleep. Gibberish will help to throw out whatever noise and commotion is in the mind.It can be done before going to sleep or whenever it is needed .Just begin talking in nonsense sounds and syllables.One sound will come and then another .Be totally into it as you can . Soon you may find yourself speaking in all sorts of foreign languages !! This is okay, as long as it is not a language that you know.
Speaking a language that you know will not help to empty the mind, because you can get
caught in the thoughts and the stories. Speaking nonsense sounds and syllables lets you say
anything you like, without either you or anyone else being able to figure out what is being said. You might at first feel shy, inhibited or even guilty {what am I saying ?! } But as you keep doing this ,you will see that it does its own work. Your gestures and the totality you bring to the glossolalia helps release all the noise that is accumulated in the mind.
The fact is the mind has gotten into a habit of chattering and it no longer remebers how to turn it off. This method allows the mind's tension and stress to be released . And as you become emptier, it will be easier to fall asleep. At night, through dreams and thoughts, the mind is trying to empty itself for the next day, and it has to do this so you are ready to face life again. This method is creating a situation and an invitation for quietness to come and for sleep or perhaps deeper sleep to happen.
