How To Meditate
It's 6:30 in the morning and these sentences are forming with the ease of a swift breeze that keeps eagles soaring... hope it's not boring
If you notice the sensation, speed, and depth of your breath
The slithering slide as slightly cooled oxygen glides & flows into the holes of your nose
The soft spill of CO2 falling upwards from your lungs and out of your mouthpiece lips crease
And. The. Spaces. In. Between. Each. Of. These.
Then... you are moving towards zen
Bismillah is the verbiage sung vehemently in the forever classic rock ballad, Bohemian Rhapsody
"Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go"
In the Koran, every chapter (except one) begins with the word Bismillah
And you may have heard Dr. Rahim say it before he adjusts
"Bismillah ~ CRACK"
It means "In the name of Allah"
Follow me here my friends
Allah is both the name of God, and the word for God
In essence, this most important sacred phrase of Islam is used before performing good deeds
or any daily activities
Washing the dishes... Bismillah
Putting away clean clothes... Bismillah
Preparing, sharing, eating a bite of food... Bismillah
It's all done in the spirit of God
Now
in Sufi circles, we say Bismillah also means "remember"
Just keep remembering God
Just keep remembering God
For me... it disintegrates cynical and pessimistic language... when I'm remembering
Sometimes I forget to remember
And that's why it's called practice
Just like this practice of cracks bliss
In this week's video
Some of Zowie's crunchity crackings were quite whoa-ie...
and I knowie... that we may see comments about her being "difficult" or "ungrateful" bc she spoke honestly about her experience at the moment
Listen... sometimes when I release the pain of a childhood traumatic memory ... it's gonna hurt
And sometimes those traumatic memories have built castles around a person's psyche... with catapults and archers aimed and ready... vats of oil set ablaze pouring from the turret... a moat filled with poisonous snakes, toads, plants, and maybe some grumpy orks too
There's nothing else to do except proceed with kindness and compassion
Just REMEMBER
Bc trust is the only way into the castle
Tonight I adjusted a college campus resident advisor. He commented on the occurrence of mental health decline this time of year... added on top of 18 months post corona restrictions, he's seeing a trend of decreased social and communicative skills
Can we just pause to talk about this... Seasonal Affective Disorder
We just accept it and move on without any conscious realization of what's actually occurring
LESS SUN = LESS HAPPY
uhwhadafunkysock kinna shiz are we talking about here?
Stop... and think about that
The sun is 93 million fn miles away from your beautiful face
Which means it's immense... you can fit a million earths into it (facts)
Its 7 billion years old
and it cooks happiness... inside your brain chemical synapses
bruh
Anyway, the resident director mentions how important words are in his work
And bc of the growing lexicon of unsupported but abundant lessons from the University of Memes of Instagram
People say things like "triggered" and "unsafe" which immediately sets off the chain of command, investigations, and all the bells and whistles meant to procure resident safety
But really they may have just meant "uncomfortable" or "awkward" or something of the lesser extent
So, in Zowie's case...I was elated that she had the courage to share her story
Because sometimes there's a story like hers behind the "difficultness" of a person
Sometimes there's not
For you and me, it's really none of our business
No one owes anybody an explanation for their behavior
However YOU... do owe it to yourself
To check-in with what YOU'RE working with
And if it's trauma... healing it
And if it's drama... wheeling that shiz
And to Pachamama... revealing the feelings you've been concealing
And Remember
The universe has your back
So point your nose in a positive direction with your intention
And row, hike, push, climb, slide, ride, jive, jiggle, wiggle, dance, flip, spin, speak, tweak, twerk,
WORK
that fine as* in whatever direction makes your happiness soup bubble
So... Full Circle... How Do You Meditate?
1) Move your body vigorously. Work out the tension- 5 minutes
2) Sit motionless and silent- 5 minutes
3) Clear your vessel with the mantra
I am nothing
I'm doing nothing
I want nothing
5 min
Feel Gratitude. Not as a word but as a vibration in your heart space
Repeat. Mantra. Breath Awareness. Gratitude
And Yes... eventually, your spirit can touch the infinite boundary
& find peace
