MEDITATION SPACE

COUNTING MEDITATATION - MEDITATION SPACE - SEEKING EUDAIMONIA PODCAST So what is the counting meditation? It’s exactly what it sounds like. You sit down, relax, close your eyes, and quietly count to 100 in your head. Yep, that’s it. I know. You may be asking, “Did you really need all this meditation training just to count to 100? And what’s so special about counting? Haven’t you been doing that your whole life? It never turned you into the Buddha before. Why should it now?” Listen, it really works. I’m not kidding at all. Here’s how you do it. Again, sit down, be still, relax, and silently start counting to 100. Don’t rush. Just go at a natural pace and keep letting yourself relax while sitting still with your spine straight. So, what’s happening when you do this? You are focusing your mind. Don’t underestimate the power of a practice like this to hone your attention. As you count to 100, your mind will wander. That’s totally natural. You just want to bring it back to the counting. It will drift again and you should bring your attention back again to the count. When you do this counting exercise with real intention, your mind naturally starts to align with the counting. As you focus, your attention withdraws from the addictive stream of thought, conclusions, and opinions that your mind is usually fixed on. By slowly bringing your mind back to the count, again and again, you start to train your awareness. That is the power of this practice. Welcome to the EUDAIMONIA connection podcast.
