The
Life Bliss Meditation (LBM) technique is a simple, natural procedure to connect to your vast inner reservoir of creativity, energy, intelligence and bliss on a daily basis.
During the practice of the
Life Bliss Meditation technique, mind and body settle down to experience a unique state of restful alertness. As peace is infused into the mind, the body is energized and yet restful. This helps mind and body to transcend all barriers to experience the state of Eternal Bliss.
The breath and the mind are very closely related. Just like the breath changes according to the mind, the mind also changes according to the breath. Emotions may not be in your hands, but your breathing is. So you can directly change your state of mind by changing the breath. Even our breathing follows the same pattern we have built over so many years. This pattern directly reflects our mental makeup.
Humming reduces your inner chatter. Continuously there is talking going on within your mind. Normally people find it very difficult to sit without thoughts. The mind will revolt; it does not want to sit silently. In fact people often complain that in an attempt to be thoughtless, they encounter more thoughts! This is the time when many people drop meditation. They get discouraged and they think that meditation is not possible at all for them. But let me tell you that this is the experience of all the seekers initially. You have to make the effort. If you feel discouraged by the initial resistance, then you can never succeed.
The
seven energy centers are associated with particular emotions in our being. These emotions are a result of the engraved memories or samskaras which we have accumulated in the past. These samskaras block the particular energy center causing physical and mental disturbances. The samskaras are present in our being because of the absence of awareness. So when we flood awareness into these energy centers, the energy centers start getting unblocked from negative emotions and we start radiating positive emotions like love and compassion.
The problem is when we connect our thoughts and experiences because in reality all experiences are independent experiences. The moment you have connected experiences, for example if you associate multiple experiences of pain, you start thinking 'my life is pain,' you have created hell for you; you have created suffering. Now you will understand why suffering is also imaginary. It is based on something imaginary. It is based on something unreal. It's just an appearance. So the suffering that is created is also unreal. Once you realize this, you are liberated.
In this last step, just sit silently in a blissful mood and listen to the mantras being chanted. You can offer gratitude to a great teacher, a guru, whoever you believe as God or even just existence. Just feel connected to Existence and feel the vibrations of the powerful mantras within your being. The mantras are a way to express gratitude to Existence, the Master, for endowing upon us this great wisdom, which liberates us from ignorance and helps us attain the state of eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
