MEDITATION FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS TREATMENT: THE MEDITATION PROCESS
While the meditation process produces a feeling of quiet, don’t expect it to happen. Just let the meditation process happen naturally and easily. If we expect it to happen, it doesn’t. If we expect it to happen we spend the whole meditation session not meditating, but looking for the quiet and wondering when it will happen. When we are meditating correctly our meditation will lead us effortlessly and naturally to the full meditative state. Don’t fight thoughts, feelings or emotions. Let them come and let them go. Don’t become involved with them by hooking into them. Meditation is not a process of trying to eliminate all thoughts or feelings. Nor is it a process of trying to think of nothing, which is a contradiction in itself. The ‘no-thinking’ will happen naturally as we move into the deeper stages. The rising and falling of our thoughts are part of the whole process. They will slow down and finally cease naturally as we enter the full meditative state.
