You are weightless!🔗

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Have you noticed how you feel heavier on some days than on others? Actually, the weight you feel is the weight of your body, not of You. You are weightless! Because you constantly identify yourself with the body and mind, you think of yourself as possessing weight. Your body is just matter, naturally it will have weight. Your mind also has a certain weight. When you are unhappy, you feel physically heavier, as if something is dragging you down. But when you are happy, you forget the body, you forget the mind. When your consciousness is alive, you are lighter. You don't just feel lighter, you become lighter. To experience the true lightness of your Being, you have to go beyond body and mind In meditation, you break the identification with the body and mind. You break the boundaries of body and mind. When this happens, you automatically feel your own weightlessness. In this technique, we learn to experience our weightlessness at will. The meditation technique included in this discourse is an aid for curing vertigo and giddiness. It helps in creating a light and blissful mental setup free from anxiety and depression.

Duration: 10 minutes a day, for ten days

This is a wonderful technique even for beginning meditators. You don't need any training, understanding or belief for this technique. First, remove whatever accessories or jewelry you may be wearing on your body. Either sit or lie down. Be as comfortable as possible. You can also lean against a wall if you feel comfortable that way. You can stretch your legs in whatever way you want, but you shouldn't need to exert effort to hold your body. The idea is to feel very comfortable without supporting the weight of your body. For example, if your head is straight, be very clear, you are exerting effort to keep it straight. It always requires effort to keep your head straight. In the same way, don't keep your spine erect, because that takes effort. No part of your body should feel effort or tension. Just drop your arms and relax; do not hold tension in any part of the body. The weight of your body should not be felt anywhere. Otherwise you will be constantly feeling that you are heavy. Let your whole body be relaxed. Now, visualize that you are a weightless being. Actually you are weightless. You only constantly visualize that you are heavy. When on a bed or chair, feel your self become weightless and enter the space beyond the mind.
