We can accept advantageous thoughts that are benign to the apperception (like advancing up with a new abstraction and afresh conceptualizing the action of axis the abstraction into something tangible). We can aswell accept counter-productive thoughts, like a account of tasks, something abrogating anyone has said to you, or even abrogating thoughts you accept created with no base of facts. These are those abrogating thoughts that accumulate arena like a torn almanac over and over in your apperception - you just can't let them go. The affair we are aggravating to achieve with brainwork is harnessing that activity of the mind, and utilizing it in a way that allowances us.
So, with meditation, we are aggravating to let go of our thoughts. If you apprehend that, it sounds difficult or challenging. And, it can be. Especially if you're just learning. It's absolutely a process, because the apperception is an alive thing. The academician has activity surging through it constantly. And that's a acceptable thing.
To begin, you charge to carve-out at atomic 10 account every day. You can extend the time if and if you wish. But, if you can't do it every day, at atomic aim for a lot of canicule of the week. Just accomplish time to do it, maybe it's appropriate afore you go to bed, or aloft activation in the morning (preferably afore coffee).
The additional affair you charge to do is acquisition a adequate position in a abdicate place, whether it's sitting up or lying down; the best is yours. That best may change depending on how you feel on any accustomed day, or area you are located. One affair to accumulate in apperception is that you don't wish to abatement asleep. Because if you're sleeping, your academician is on a break, so to speak. You wish your academician "on the job", so you (the witness) can become the "boss" and alternation it. You can sit with your aback adequate adjoin a bank (for support), you can sit in a chair, you can lie on the attic (arms & legs diffuse and rested), you can lie on the attic with your legs aloft up adjoin a bank (this is actual calming), you can even meditate lying in bed.
You'll wish to acclaim abutting your eyes and relax your eye lids. Relax your face, your tongue, your shoulders, your hands. Relax your belly, your buttocks, legs, and feet, and just breathe normally. You don't accept to anguish about your breathing, don't anticipate about it. However, the animation can accompany you aback from getting bent up in a thought. A lot of yoga advisers acquaint their acceptance to focus on the breath. It is up to you.
Now, with your eyes closed, yield a moment to apprehension how you are feeling. If I aboriginal started to meditate, my adviser said to brainstorm you are in a cine theatre. You are watching your thoughts on the cine screen, against alert to or agreeable in them. And as anon as you admit that you are 'thinking' about the thoughts, admonish yourself to "let it go". Since the apperception is an alive thing, you will apparently accept to admonish yourself over and over and over again. That's OK. You can even activate to just watch your thoughts play out like a movie. But again, the point of brainwork is to not appoint the thoughts, don't anticipate about them, just watch. Become the witness. It ability complete crazy at first, but already you do it a few times, you'll accept what it agency to become the attestant and just watch.
