welcome to the day 1 of the 21 day meditation challenge
for meditation to be effective
there are 3 principles that we need to follow
first is that I want nothing
for a little while
for these few minutes of the meditation
I want nothing
because even that one desire
cannot let us relax
so we say for this little time
I want nothing
second is I am nothing
I may be a lot of things in the world
but right now I can drop all of that
all the labels that I give to myself
and say I am nothing
and the third is
that I do nothing
for this little while
I dont want to learn anything
I dont want to know anything
I dont want to do anything
do nothing
just as when you go to a massage
if you try to do something then you will not be able to relax
right? you just lie down there
and the masseur knows where to focus more on which muscles similarly
the intelligence knows what to give you
so for these few minutes I do nothing
these three golden principles are essential for a deeper relax
I want nothing, I am nothing and I do nothing
for these few minutes
so today's meditation is a 10 minute short meditation where
Gurudev guides through the first few steps of turning within oneself
from the gross to the subtle
as we begin our practice so
lets get started
