What’s keeping you from trying Tibetan meditation? The thought that you’ll have to sit down, keep still, and face nothing but a blank wall all day? The fear of being made to do nothing for an hour or two except watch your breathing or count your heartbeat? While there are meditation techniques that make use of these two, Tibetan meditation doesn’t. On the contrary, Tibetan meditation would even seem like an action flick in comparison. You will be asked to imagine colorful lights moving up and down pathways in your body. You will be taught to imagine furious deities stepping on the dead with a giant foot or blowing fire as they head your way. Tell me, do any of those sound boring?
It’s unfortunate that many people never realized meditation doesn’t have to be boring or complex. It’s not true that everyone who meditates sits in the lotus position. You can meditate lying down, sitting with your legs crossed, or even with your head on the floor and your legs propped against the wall! Meditation, The Silva Life System can show you, is far broader and bigger than you think. It need not be lengthy or dull. You don’t have to do it for hours. As a matter of fact, you can meditate while doing the simplest of tasks – coloring books, for example! Why not try meditating today? Whether you do it Tibetan style or following the Zen tradition (read: sitting and facing a blank wall), you have tons of benefits to gain and nothing at all to lose!
