Place a photo of yourself as a baby or toddler in front of you while you’re meditating.
Try to remember what it was like to be that child.
Practice being that innocent child that knows nothing.
It will help you to look at life in amazing wonder rather than through an intellectual filter.

"Calming your thoughts allows you to see deeper thought forms that have been hiding behind them.
Keep in mind that meditation isn’t creating these thoughts ... it’s showing you these hidden thoughts that have ALWAYS existed.
Seeing the many layers of your thoughts is actually a blessing."

The goal of the 4TH STEP of AA is not to dump all the worst things from your past.
You're not only the "bad" things you've done throughout your life.
You'll receive more healing from this step by keeping things in balance and include the positive things about you when listing your inventory

Zen monks knew when they gave the monkey mind a problem to solve it would run with it like a dog chasing a car
The mind is like a computer. If you hand it a riddle it will automatically attempt to solve it
Its search for answers can lead to a peaceful meditation and deeper calm throughout your day

MEDITATE BADLY
When you begin your meditation practice it's important to be realistic with your expectations.
You’re exercising muscles you’ve never used before.
Meditating badly will relieve a massive amount of pressure.
It will allow the practice to be what it is, especially at first, clumsy.

Mr. Cow is concerned about dying suddenly & not having a chance to say his repenting prayer where he apologizes for all the selfish things he did in his life & then asks for forgiveness.
He's hoping there's an opportunity to plead his case to a Being of Light before he's assigned to Heaven or Hell.

MILLIONS of people sending prayers skyward every second of every day is acceptable.
Receiving an answer is not acceptable. It's crazy.

Gratitude is recognizing what YOU HAVE versus what YOU DESIRE to have.
As you meditate, the monkey mind will present endless desires.
Counteract these desires by making a list of the things you’re grateful for.
The items on your gratitude list will be like light bulbs turning on in a dark room.

We can’t really be angry at our monkey mind because it’s just a mechanism ... a device.
It takes a persistent continuous effort to transmute these energy forms and allow them to return to their natural state.
Your hard work will pay off. You will reach a calm that you couldn’t have ever imagined.

Most of the expectations causing your frustration are unconscious. They're not even visible yet.
Meditation will help these expectations to rise to the surface so that you can work with them one by one and soften them down.

Forgiveness is a universal quality.
The most common resistance to using the healing power of forgiveness is that either (a) you don’t deserve forgiveness or (b) the other person who hurt you doesn’t deserve forgiveness for what they did.
Forgiveness will dissolve both of these powerful beliefs.

They say that behind all anger is FEAR.
I say behind all fear is LOVE.
Meditation will help you to discover that this is true.

Some Yogis will recommend that you observe your thoughts as though you’re watching a movie. Let them act out their scenes, but don’t get attached to them.
Your non-attachment will disempower these thought forms and will allow you to see past them, ultimately into higher realms of love and kindness.

Many people have a fear of journaling.
Not that some horrible thought is going to sneak past their censor. The fear is that someone is going to read it.
There’s a simple solution.
Write out your thoughts and as soon as you’re finished, shred the pages.
It won’t affect the depth of the healing.

Why would one even consider meditating knowing about all the uncomfortable thoughts they will have to face?
Thankfully, people have been meditating for thousands of years and have left us with some valuable tips on how to push through despite the powerful threats of our monkey mind.
