Many think that meditating means sitting with your eyes closed in a silent room. However, according to the teachings of the great Lamas and Buddhist philosophy, true meditation is something much simpler and, at the same time, deeper: mindfulness in what you are doing here and now.
Meditation is not an event, it is a state
The true essence of the practice doesn't just happen on the meditation cushion. It happens while you live. The masters teach that:
If you are drinking water, your mind should only be on the water, on its freshness, and on the sensation of swallowing.
If you are eating, meditation consists of savoring every bite, recognizing the food and the energy it brings you.
This is what we call "Absolute Presence." When your mind is where your body is, the mental chatter stops.
Why is attention so important?
In my practice and in the Innerdance manuals, we understand that the frantic pace of life disconnects us from our natural homeostasis.
1. Focus on the present: By concentrating on a single task, you allow your nervous system to shift from alertness (Beta waves) to a state of calm and coherence.
2. Mental Silence: Observing without judging allows the mind to become quiet.
3. Connection with the Self: True healing only occurs in the present.
Small steps for your day-to-day life
I invite you to practice "informal" meditation today with these exercises:
When drinking water: Feel the temperature and the journey of the liquid.
When walking: Notice the contact of your feet with the ground and the rhythm of your breath.
In your tasks: Do just one thing at a time. Put all your love and attention into it.
Healing through presence
In Ámate Bienestar sessions, whether through a massage or quantum therapy, my goal is to help you reach that state of silence and surrender. When you manage to be present, your vital energy (Kundalini) begins to flow freely again.
"Peace is not found outside, it is found in the quality of your attention."
