Show Notes
Training the mind, is not forcing the mind, but understanding and working with your mind. One problem is that we think we own our meditation, but if we can look at ourselves as guests − then there is less to do, and we can relax.
And as we meditate deeper and deeper, it is like the mind opens up like a lotus flower - layer by layer. First into the present moment, then into silence, then into breathing, then into joy and delight. Even deeper in, we get to stages of lights and brightness, before entering those powerful stages of jhana.
And interestingly enough, these jhana stages has probably been attained by spiritual seekers from other traditions as well.
