Theta Healers – How to do Theta Healing

I would like to practice meditation focusing on breathing (I think that is from buddhism), can anyone teach me?

I heard that it is simple to learn, though I’m not a buddhist, but I would really love to practice this breathing meditation since it can improves focusness and concentration which greatly help my study.

There is no special posture to use in meditation. Many people think they have to get into the typical seated position they see in statues of the Buddha called the lotus position. Sitting comfortably in a chair with both feet flat on the floor is fine if that is all you can do. The main idea is that you are in a comfortable posture with your spine straight. Place your tongue at the roof of your mouth behind your upper front teeth. You may keep your eyes open with eyelids relaxed or slightly closed but with a slightly downward gaze. Place your left hand with the palm upwards on your lap about two inches below your naval. Place your right hand palm upwards on top of your left hand with the thumbs touching to form a triangle. The key is to relax.

The Tibetan Buddhist Sogyal Rinpoche advises in “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying”: “When you meditate, breathe naturally, just as you always do. Focus your awareness lightly on the outbreath. When you breathe out, just flow out with the outbreath. Each time you breathe out, you are letting go and releasing all your grasping. Imagine your breath dissolving into the all-pervading expanse of truth. Each time you breathe out, and before you breathe in again, you will find that there is a natural gap, as your grasping dissolves. Rest in that gap, in that open space. And when, naturally, you breathe in, don’t focus especially on the inbreath but go on resting your mind in the gap that has opened up. There are many ways of making the approach to meditation as joyful as possible. You can find the music that most exalts you and use it to open your heart and mind. You can collect pieces of poetry, or quotations or lines of teachings that over the years have moved you, and keep them always at hand to elevate your spirit. I have always loved Tibetan thangka paintings and derive strength from their beauty. You too can find reproductions of paintings that arouse a sense of sacredness, and hang them on the walls of your room. Listen to a cassette tape of a teaching by a great master, or a sacred chant. You can make of the place where you meditate a simple paradise, with one flower, one stick of incense, one candle, one photograph of an enlightened master, or one statue of a deity or a buddha. You can transform the most ordinary of rooms into an intimate sacred space, an environment where every day you go to meet with your true self with all the joy and happy ceremony of one old friend greeting another. As you continue to practice meditation, you may have all kinds of experiences, both good and bad. You might experience states of bliss, clarity, or absence of thoughts. In one way these are very good experiences, and signs of progress in meditation. For when you experience bliss, it’s a sign that desire has temporarily dissolved. When you experience real clarity, it’s a sign that aggression has temporarily ceased. When you experience a state of absence of thought, it’s a sign that your ignorance has temporarily died. By themselves they are good experiences, but if you get attached to them, they become obstacles. Experiences are not realization in themselves; but if we remain free of attachment to them, they become what they really are—that is, materials for realization.”

If your mind begins to wander do not feel as though you’ve failed. It’s natural for this to occur. Just calmly move the thought to the side and continue with your meditation.

Sogyal Rinpoche further states: “Dudjom Rinpoche used to say that a beginner should practice meditation in short sessions. Practice for four or five minutes, then take a short break of just one minute. During the break, let go of the method, but do not let go of your mindfulness altogether. Sometimes when you have been struggling to practice, curiously, the very moment when you take a break from the method—if you are still mindful and present—is the moment when meditation actually happens. That is why the break is just as important a part of meditation as the sitting itself. Sometimes I tell my students who are having problems with their practice to practice during the break and take a break during their meditation! … Often people ask me: ‘How long should I meditate? And when? Should I practice twenty minutes in the morning and in the evening, or is it better to do several short practices during the day?’ Yes, it is good to meditate for twenty minutes, though that is not to say that twenty minutes is the limit. I have not found in the scriptures any reference to twenty minutes; I think it is a notion that has been contrived in the West, and I call it Meditation Western Standard Time. The point is not how long you meditate; the point is whether the practice actually brings you to a certain state of mindfulness and presence, where you are a little open and able to connect with your heart essence. And five minutes of wakeful sitting practice is of far greater value than twenty minutes of dozing!” I hope this is of some help.

May all be at peace.
