question about meditation?
hallooo
I would like to learn a method of meditation, not to relax, but for contemplation – to achieve a deep level of understanding about myself, life and the universe. I’m always asking myself metaphysical questions and my mind is becoming so chaotic – I simply want to be able to meditate and organize these uncontrolable thought in a traditional way – does anybody know perhaps the way buddhists and yogis do this? this is NOT an existentialist crisis, i would just like to have deeper understanding of everything and ultimately reach new levels of conciousness.
best answer 5 stars! thankyou for taking time to read this question even if u do not answer. thankyou in advance for helpful answers
nb. im an atheist
The method given here is essentially that developed by Paul Brunton for Westerners and described by him in his book ‘Quest of the Overself”.

Meditation is always done internally, even in the middle of a crowd.
The simplest method has no religious connotations whatsoever. It lets one reach within and find one’s own core.
Initially it helps if one does it alone in any quiet place preferably at the same time of the day. While it can be done in any posture it helps if it is practiced sitting down in the early days.
Sit comfortably, relax any tensed muscles, close your eyes without the least strain and become aware of your breath. Aware of its going in and coming out. Do not attempt to control it. Do not focus your thought on anything specific. If your thoughts wander gently get back to being aware of breathing.
That is it. Five minutes twice a day.
After a week you will notice that the breath is slowing down. Let it. While you can do this longer than five minutes there is really no need. After a month increase the period to 6 minutes. Imperceptibly increase to about 8 minutes.
In the normal rush of modern living there is really no need to go beyond this.
After a few months you will find that you are breathing rate (during the practice) is half or even less compared to your normal rate.
The effect spills over into your normal life too.
Sounds simple. Let me assure you that it is not.Turning inward is tough. Finding 8 minutes twice a day is not all that easy.
This brings me to the other issue. Do not be stressed if you miss the practice. Never feel under a compulsion that this must be done. Do not be worried if thoughts keep interfering. You are trying to reach yourself, who is not going away anywhere.
There is no mantra, no image, no focusing your eyes on the tip of the nose, no chakras, and nothing religious of any denomination.
The process works.
Later you will find that you can effortlessly slip into this even when you are in a crowd, commuting or walking.
Caution: Better avoid this when driving.

Pessoa, the Metaphysical Courier $25.96 Fernando Pessoas artistic birth develops over two periods. The first moment: March 1914, the apparition, as decisive as opaque, of the four heteronymous poets, Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, lvaro de Campos, and Fernando Pessoa himself. The second moment: the dramatic intellectual crisis of 19151916, during which the idea of the avantgarde and the meditation on the complexity and separation of metaphysics and art willingly battle and entangle themselves.This is a crisis of philosophy Pessoa experiences with anxiety, and which is the origin of the multiple births of the poet. From then on, the task of separating poetry from metaphysics begins.about the authorJudith Balso has taught seminars on Fernando Pessoa, Wallace Stevens, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Osip Mandelstam, and Dante at the Coll ge International de Philosophie in Paris, France. She currently teaches poetry and philosophy at the European Graduate School in SaasFee, Switzerland. Her latest book, Affirmation de la po sie is published by NOUS editions, France.
