The Instinctual Roots of Meditation
If you have a body and mind, you can meditate. Learning to meditate is a matter of finding out how to activate your innate abilities, and this is always an adventure. If you want to include meditation in your life, find your personal gateways. These are different for each of us, and also change over time as we evolve.Buddha said that he gave 84,000 dharmas, for all the different kinds of people there are. The good news is there is something for everybody. The downside is that out of the thousands of meditation techniques, most of them will be wrong for your body type and life direction in the here and now. When you practice a technique that is not right for your type, it feels like an imposition and is slightly harmful, and wastes your time.
When you discover your personal gateways, it feels like love. You are falling into the center of your own heart. A relief, and exciting, and restful. The goal of a teacher such as myself is to assist you in spending more time in love with life and less time struggling with techniques that are not right for you in the first place. Instinctive Meditation is a way of accessing the wealth of knowledge of the ancient yoga meditation traditions, and discovering the practices that work for you – your body, your heart and mind, your life.
