How to be doing it?

Timbo

[Testm0nkey]

concentrate on increasingly smaller concepts/items which turns into ever increasing and expanding ideas
step one is focusing and concentrating the mind
later on it increases to panoramic awareness in which you can effectively "mediate" while walking around town or working at your job
find a comfortable place with few distractions. as distractions pop up dont burry them but note them as silly things the brain does and then get back to breathing exercises

typical easy method to start is concentrating on breathing. concentrate on the air going into your nostrils and then out. control your breathe and as thoughts come into your head, sounds into your ears, cramps in your feet refocus your mind onto the task of breathing.

there are sutras you cant site while mediating to help understand the mindfulness and understanding that mediation brings

three stages of meditation:
arriving and centering
intensifying and focusing
releasing and allowing - when you are at the present moment - choiceless awareness

there are a million ways to mediate. like have a bowl of raisins and eat them 1 by 1. chewing the raisin till it has completely dissolved while studying everything about its texture taste etc
