Guided Meditation To Rest Your Mind And Connect With Simplicity

You may have had the experience that life seems to be complicated and that its complications create a lot of physical and emotional tension. It is a very common experience, mostly created by our mind.

This experience may be linked to the belief that if we do not put enough effort into what we do, the result will not be valid, or it will not be enough for other people to recognize and accept us.

It may also be linked to a belief that life is a hard path of suffering. Or it may be a different belief that is behind our experience.

Very often our beliefs are the origin of the complications projected by the mind, the limiting beliefs installed in it that shape our perception of reality.

That is why it is so important to simply rest your mind, let your voices become more slow and distant.

When the mind is calm it is much easier to become aware of our thoughts, feelings and sensations without getting caught up in them or identifying with them, but by allowing them to follow their natural flow which is always transitory. In this way we can keep our awareness in the present moment.

Shiné is what the non-analytical method of meditation is called in Tibetan, which consists of simply letting the mind rest in calm. It is a basic meditation practice in which we simply rest mentally, letting go of what is holding us in tension and remaining present in the inner experience without drawing our attention to anything in particular.

Nothing is as important as it seems

By allowing our mind to rest as it is from relaxed, conscious awareness and presence, we enter a state of stillness and calm that allows us to experience the simplicity of simply being and being in the present moment.

When we look at our life from that simplicity, we can appreciate our perceptions with the necessary distance not to identify with them and with the confusion and complications that they have unleashed. From here, our fixed perceptions lose meaning and importance, since we realize that they do not necessarily correspond to reality.

Resting in simply being while keeping our attention on the present experience in a global way, without the need to do anything in relation to it, we open ourselves to a broader, more flexible and lighter understanding that dispels the confusion of our mental perception.

How to Meditate to Rest Your Mind

• Sit up straight where you are comfortable or comfortable. Close your eyes and begin to relax your body. Let it fall and settle, release tension. You can lean on your exhalations to release it a little more and more.
• Let your mind rest and relax as well.
• Keep your awareness in your present experience globally. Thoughts, emotions and sensations will appear. Simply or serve them from a distance.
• You can visualize your inner experience as galaxies that are in your inner space. Look at that space as a whole.
• Realize your experience without doing anything about it. Don’t try to suppress or block it, and don’t follow or get hooked on it. Let it be and go, aware of its transience, allowing it to occur naturally.
• If you find that you are following your experience or rejecting it, don’t be hard on yourself, on yourself. Just take it as a reminder to return to your observation of the present moment from a distance.
• Observe the tendency of your mind to lose itself in wanderings and realize it to return once more smoothly to the here and now.
• You can stay in this meditation for as long as you like or return to it briefly throughout your day.
• When you feel it begin to move your body, breathe a little deeper, massage your face and open your eyes.
