Although there are likely to be experiences of well-being, great insight, and complete calm… these particular outcomes are not the goal. In fact, having specific goals of relieving pain or discomfort may compromise your ability to reach a state of mindfulness.
As a key exercise in the mastery of meditation, Repetition will produce the best results. Although, it may possibly seem boring or monotonous at first. Daily, weekly, monthly, you will find that it brings a sense of peace and security.
Remaining in the instant, as it unfolds, allows you to seek not only momentary well-being—but future well-being.
As your mind begins to relax, without expectations, you will become more familiar with your deep, inner place of pain. Although many of us seek to avoid the awareness of our pain, becoming mindful of its place give us power over it. In this way, we can become restored and free.
Meditation leading to mindfulness does not simply provide a moment of relief from pain. It allows you to extend relief out over your lifetime, providing you access to portions of your mind to be completely and fully engaged, and to love your life.
Meditative practices are all different paths leading to the same place. One is not necessarily superior to the other. Even your preferred methods of mindfulness may change from day to day as your mood or state of mind changes.
Seeking awareness through the elements of the program allows you to have flexibility in your sessions, choosing one over the other, or creating your own fusion of the elements. In this way, you build ownership over the program for yourself, increasing its efficacy and power.
