Blissmusic's blog listings. Feed Zend_Feed_Writer 1.10.8 (http://framework.zend.com) http://community.beliefnet.com/blissmusic How to PracticeTranscending the "Me" in Meditation "A large part of meditation
and spiritual practice
is about turning your attention away
from being involved with the personal self
and back towards the essence of what you are.

Most people's attention is completely
involved with the personal 'me' experience.
My thoughts, my beliefs, my desires,
my fears, my hurts, my worries.

And so by being completely involved
with this me and all of it's personal thoughts,
one cannot see beyond it
to experience one's true nature of peace.

Even in entering meditation
many people subtly make it
about the 'me' experience
and therefore separate themselves
from meditation.

They look to have
a certain experience or attainment.
They want to stop thinking,
they want to enter witness consciousness,
they want to feel bliss or peace.

By putting the idea
of how you think meditation should be
on top of this moment,
you separate yourself
from what is naturally here.

So there are many meditation techniques
that give the mind something to focus on
and awakens attention to what is beyond
this sense of personal self.

For instance,
if you are silently repeating 'I am'
and letting your attention rest on the feeling
of simply being,
then this frees your attention
from being fixated on personal thoughts and feelings
into what you are beyond that.

Or by putting your attention on a Guru,
or the feeling of Shakti,
or repeating a mantra,
without looking to get certain results from it
then again this awakens you beyond your personal self
into oneness.

But as you get more subtle,
you simply learn to get out of the way
and allow meditation to happen.

Through allowing the personal self
to be exactly as it is,
allowing all thoughts and feelings
to naturally rise and fall as they do
without involvement,
your attention will naturally relax into
the quiet depths of pure consciousness.

In this way you can transcend the small self.

And once you begin to taste the bliss of your true nature,
your attention will naturally want to take refuge in that
instead of getting involved with the stress and drama
of the personal self.

]]> 0 Devoting Yourself to Silence in Meditation "Silence is not
the absence of thought.

You cannot just stop thinking
and then you will experience silence.
That is just the absence of thinking.

Rather, you start to feel it.

As the Shakti & awareness
builds inside you
and you begin to naturally be aware
of your thinking rather
than identified with it,
you will begin to feel silence,
or sense silence
underneath the flow of thoughts.

And very naturally
you will be attracted to it.
You may feel it as bliss, as peace,
as love or as freedom
and your whole being
will fall in love with it.

Not in the egotistical sense
that you feel it as pleasure and
you want more.

It goes way beyond that.

You recognize it
as the love you have been seeking
since before you were even seeking.

The peace of it is so pure
that just being in it fulfills you.
You want to give yourself over to it
because it is the ultimate feeling
of coming home.

And so you become devoted
to that silence.

You give yourself over to silence out of love
the same way you give your body
over to your lover.

And then in that
there is perfection.
You feel you are exactly where
you are supposed to be.

That dissolving yourself into silence
fulfills you in every way.

The peace is so nurturing
that your heart is at peace,
your mind is at peace.

And in this you see how all the words
and knowledge about spirituality
are just ugly.

Because the peace is beyond words.
The silence is beyond any understanding
or achievement.

Would you say I achieved
the love of my life?

I attained the love of my life?

There are no words
or understandings about it.
You find silence,
then you just want to be in that silence.

Words just can't touch it.
Emotions can't touch it.
Yet you recognize it
as the essential nature of everything
and you fall in love with it.

Much love,


Kip"

]]> 0 How to Dissolve into Nothingness in Meditation

"People often hold on to suffering,
mulling over their problems
because of fear.

If you are in meditation
and you are holding on
to the trying to figure out how
to fix your problems,
then you have separated yourself
from meditation.

But in meditation,
if you let go of that control,
if you let go of the thoughts
about the problems as they arise,
you will come face to face with fear.

Fear of what?

Fear of annihilation.
Fear of falling into nothing.

Because from the perspective
of the ego,
it is far better to suffer as a someone
then to become nothing.

So we create these ideas
of who we are
and then we try to control our world
to try and protect who we are.

But both meditation and life
are constantly putting cracks
in who we think we are.

Even as a body
we watch the thing get old
and fall apart.

And if we look closely
all those ideas of who we think we are
and how life should be
are also constantly being shattered.

We keep trying to hold it all in place
and it keeps falling apart.

And so ultimately either in love
or in exhaustion from suffering,
we surrender.

We allow ourselves to move
right through that fear into nothing.

We give up the fight,
we give up trying to make things
to be a certain way
and surrender into the nothing.

We dissolve into that nothing.

And in that nothing
we not only realize peace
but we realize the totality.

As nothing
we experience fullness.

And then that bliss of nothing
begins to be far more attractive
then all the effort & stress we put into
trying to create ourselves to be
a certain way.

And it is not that
we exist as nothing,
rather, we simply are.

The purity of is-ness.

There is no concrete separate 'me'
that is the is-ness,
rather the nothing alone is
as everything,
as you.

Much love,


Kip"

]]> 0 Meditation Technique to Attain Bliss "There is a natural space
of pure silence and stillness
in this moment.

In meditation,
relax your attention
so that it begins to settle
into this moment
and sink below
the outer movements
of thoughts, emotions
and physical happenings
into the stillness
that lies beneath them.

Just in resting your attention
in this stillness,
thinking runs out of energy
and stops by itself.

It is a place of non-movement,
non-doing.
It is motionless, effortless
and fully aware.

You do not get to this stillness
through self effort but through
surrendering and relaxing into
what is naturally here.

Do not try to force yourself
to remain in this stillness.

Rather, keep relaxing back
into this effortless stillness
when you are pulled out of it.

]]> 0 Meditation: How to Be Free from The Personal Self "The personal sense of self is made up
of a whole bunch of thoughts
that attention has held on to.

Certain thoughts are too attractive
to just let pass by
and so attention holds on to them,
chews on them, elaborates on them.

And because attention has given itself
to a thought in this way,
the thought sticks around,
it becomes part of the personal self,
of who you think you are.

It arises
and you identify with it.
Because you identify with it,
it comes back
and you identify with it again
and in this way it strengthens.

It is constantly reinforcing itself in this way
as a personal sense of who you think you are.

There is no solid identity
that is made of thoughts,
but rather it is just an action
of attention repeatedly grabbing hold
of the same thoughts over and over.

And with this holding on to thoughts
comes separation.
Attention which is free of duality
contracts itself into a thought
and from that distinguishes itself
from everything else.

The more thoughts it attaches itself to,
the greater that separation becomes.

And from that comes conflict,
the need to protect all of these thoughts and beliefs
because it has become what you are.

Meditation is the process
of breaking down this structure of
identified thoughts
so that the peace that you truly are
can shine through.

By consciously not holding on to the thoughts,
the energy behind the thoughts dissipate
until attention becomes free of them
or the thoughts stop arising all together.

Shakti is the energy
that awakens your attention
to the bliss that you truly are
and in that realization,
this structure of a personal self as
thoughts being held on to
starts to collapse.

And so there is the conflict:
If you really commit to
meditation and shakti,
you will awaken into
unfathomable peace and love.

But self realization will also
require you to let go of
who you think you are.

So in meditation,
you make a decision:
which is more important,
the thought that is arising
or the bliss that is your true nature?

Because it will not always be easy
to let go of a thought
you have claimed to be important.

It will not always be easy
to rest in the place of not knowing;
to be in the place where the mind no longer
has anything to hold on to.

Yet it is far worse
to go through life
gripping all the thoughts
that make up who you are
never realizing the unconditional peace & love
that is your true nature.

Because immersing yourself
in the depths of that peace
is better than anything that could be imagined.

Much love,


Kip"
