"The first step in witnessing the mind is to feel.
Close your eyes and bring your focus on feeling the sensations in this moment without defining them.
Whatever sensations that you notice, allow yourself to feel them.
Do this now.
Now, from this point of feeling, feel your entire being.
Feel the sensation of existing in this moment.
Let yourself fully rest in this sensation of existing.
Relax into it.
Allow breathing to happen, allow thinking to happen but let your attention rest on feeling yourself existing.
If you do this,
you will notice that this feeling of existing does not have boundaries and does not have a form.
It includes everything.
Everything that arises arises out of this feeling of being.
Nothing needs to be included or excluded because it all arises out of this same feeling of existence.
And this feeling of existence is conscious.
You cannot separate consciousness and existence.
And the more you rest in this feeling, the more subtle and expansive it gets.
You can begin to watch thoughts arise and disappear in this consciousness.
You do not need to interpret them.
They are like books arising.
You do not need to open the book and see what is inside, you simply see it as a book and let it go.
In this you can begin to experience the thoughts arising as energy.
Energy arising in energy and disappearing back into the same formless conscious energy.
Energy moving through energy.
Very blissful.
Blessings,
Kip"

"Stillness has no position.
Stillness is not a quality, an action or a state of being.
It does not even exist in the outer world but behind it.
Everything arises out of stillness but stillness is unaffected by whatever is arising.
So with this you can understand that you cannot still anything in the outer world.
Anything that is arising is not meant to be stilled.
Thoughts, emotions, actions are all arising and moving according to their own nature.
Any trying to control anything creates conflict. It takes you further away from stillness.
Even if you try and still your mind, it only pushes you further into mind and away from stillness.
But if you allow everything to move and change by itself, then stillness begins to reveal itself.
Because if you stop taking a position. If you stop being involved with everything that is moving, if you stop trying to make things a certain way, then automatically, you begin to experience what you really are at your essence.
You awaken to stillness, you realize stillness
and then you learn to keep coming back to stillness and to remain there for longer periods of time.
It becomes your sanctuary, your home.
You do not rest there as a person or a name or as definition at all.
You rest there as essence as stillness itself.
The insanity of the outer world cannot affect it.
The outer world cannot exist outside of stillness. But stillness can and does exist outside of the outer world.
Blessings,
Kip"

"The unruly mind is the main obstacle in meditation.
Scattering your attention and imprisoning you in a rollercoaster of emotions and mental uppheaval.
It is what keeps you from experiencing your natural state of peace and bliss.
Here are 4 methods to go beyond the mind.
The first is to focus the mind. By focusing on a single technique like watching your breath or repeating a mantra.
The second is to witness the mind. By being aware of the thoughts arising you are no longer identified with them.
The third is to bring your attention on what is behind the mind, such as asking "Who am I?"
or simply keeping your attention on the sensations you feel rather than the thoughts.
And the fourth method is devotion.
Simply by keeping your attention fixed on a Guru or God or even the feeling of Shakti or Bliss magically you are transported beyond the mind.
Everyone has their personal preference or preferences.
More important than the method is the attention you give to the method.
You give yourself completely to anything and freedom is the result.
Blessings,
Kip"

"Spiritual Awakening happens in ordinary life.
The heart is broken open.
If something happens that stirs up emotion:
The boss yells at you. Something someone says makes you feel small and unimportant.
That is a great blessing.
Because what gets hurt in ordinary life situations?
What gets broken when life does not go the way you think it should?
It is the ego. It is this self important individual that separates you from life that gets knocked down.
The normal tendency is to fight back, to justify a position.
But if you are aware, you allow yourself to be knocked down, you allow the heart to be broken.
Because if you allow that, if you feel that, there is a tremendous awakening.
In complete surrender to what is your awareness expands beyond the ego into the very essence of life, the nature of which is love, is peace, is bliss.
And then that bliss floods all levels of experience.
Shakti washes through the mental, the emotional, the physical so that every level is awakened in bliss.
But it happens because you allow yourself to feel broken, you allow yourself to feel small when small presents itself.
The ego is always looking to be extraordinary, to be a superhero.
But in it's own grandeur, it separates itself from life.
Not that you shouldn't enjoy compliments or success when they come.
But if you can surrender fully to what is.
If you can allow that which wants to control and conquer to be broken then you are left with what is.
You open yourself up to the true nature of existence in its entirety.
So from the point of awareness no bad things happen. Only opportunities to open yourself up to a greater experience of truth and love.
This maybe too hard for the mind to swallow.
But it awakens you to freedom in an instant when realized.
Blessings,
Kip"

"You learn to remain un-attached to thoughts by first watching how attention attaches to a thought in the first place.
You can become aware of that action of attachment.
It is very subtle and very fast but if you are fully present in this moment you can watch it happen.
The thought arises and then there is a knee jerk action of grabbing that thought, of contracting attention into that thought.
Attention is free, the thought arises and then it binds itself to that thought, it takes on the identity of that thought.
Attention is no longer attention, free and boundless, it has contracted into a something separate from everything else.
It is a feeling of stress.
By becoming aware of this action of attaching to thoughts, you can learn to let go of that action.
You do not repress it, you simply let it go.
You are present enough to remain as attention instead of allowing that knee-jerk reaction to happen.
It's like the telephone ringing.
The phone rings and automatically you answer the phone.
There is an unconscious reaction that says that is what you are supposed to do.
But you can simply remain sitting while the telephone rings and eventually it will stop ringing.
At first there maybe that pull to answer the phone but with practice, you learn to let that go.
In the same way, the thought arises and you let it go. That action of attention attaching to the thought need not happen.
In this you can learn to simply rest in a state of un-attachment.
Everything arises and disappears in attention itself without affecting attention in any way.
Attention remains unbound, formless and in perfect peace.
This technique in itself is a way to self realization.
Blessings,
Kip"
