Not feeling spiritual at all? Mind is racing crazy from one thought to another?
In your mind's eye, see your body as a drawing board, your breath a chalk and your conscience the force that gives direction to the chalk. Now draw from left to right and vice-versa continuously.
Or make your breath - a ball and consciously bounce it from left to right and back again with each breath. At the same time, imagine there is water rising and making the ball bounce on higher points than the last time. Once you reach the top of the head, then imagine this water receding slowly, making the ball bounce on lower points each time.
These mental exercises will stop the racing mind and you will be connected to your higher self. Ask for the truth to be revealed to you. The higher self knows what is your most pressing need and it will reveal the truth associated with that matter.
Your body is truly a drawing board where emotions are literally drawn. The emotions stay on this board until you meditate, focus on the area where a certain emotion is and release it. When you get massage done on you, the masseur also does the same thing for you. By pressing on a certain part of your body, they release the tension built by negative emotions. Since you don't know about the damage done by negative talk / thought / emotion; you continue doing the same in your daily life.
Unease, discontent and tension arise within you through judgement of self, resistance to what is in your life, the way the power struggle within relationships is and what others have and you don't. This uneasiness and resistance to what is, will vanish the moment you accept what is NOW and the way it is.
When you chant any name / sound, you are engrossed in listening to the sound. For that moment, you are not judging yourself or others. At this time you can involve your whole body by observing how your body is releasing tension bit by bit as you breath and chant in rhythm. Singing hymns also does the same. At the time when you are singing or listening to kirtan or any song; the focus is on the tune, words, voice, emotion and not on the things that make you worry, judge and compare yourself with others. At the time of meditation, life is not a competition. We need to slowly transform ourself in a way that we feel this way even when we are not meditating.
