Topic: What Do We Try And Do During Meditation?

During meditation you must be so good at observing your heart, mind, soul, body, and surroundings, you must be the world's expert and the world's keenest observer of your own mind and body. In doing meditation you must learn to be objective and observe your world rather than participate in what is going on within your heart, mind, soul, body, and surroundings. One of the basic concepts behind meditation is being able to clear your mind of all thought and to be able to step back and observe what is going on within you and around you. In meditation, you are to try to push aside every thought that comes to you. Surprisingly, our mind is usually full of a torrent of thoughts. Remember meditation is to be regarded as a fun exercise and is for the betterment of your life. Some people require several weeks of daily practice at blanking out or clearing their mind for even a few seconds. The longer it takes you to blank out or clear your thoughts the more benefit you can receive from perfecting the skill of learning to meditate. What is unique about meditation is the more you try to do it, the less effective you become. The more you just relax and let your mind clear without any great effort on your part, the more effective meditation becomes. It has been observed that clearing or blanking the mind is a growing process rather than a learning process. Meditation is accomplished more by actual practice than by any other means.
