Description
There are four obvious types of meditation, mindfulness, contemplation… whatever you want to call it, there are four types that form the foundation of this work. All of them help us to build our focused attention into intention and then the rest of the practice changes the nature of the focus. As we've said already, the key to successful practice - to building enduring habits - is to evoke a background affective texture (that is, a feeling) that is intimately woven with the act of our practice. The feeling of Joyful Curiosity - the child-like wonder of something truly magical happening - is the key to this. If each breath, or each moment of watching a candle flame, or a leaf or whatever we choose, is utterly magical, then it's far more likely to be engaging and we're far more likely to want to bring our mind back again to the single point of focus. And then we move to Open Focus meditation, which is the same kind of life skill, but spread out into everything we experience in the moment: everything we see, hear, smell, taste, feel - all of it, as it happens, in the moment. This is an eyes open meditation and a really good grounding for becoming fully present through the days. Find us at: https://accidentalgods.life
