Meditation.....

Couldn't be more straightforward, could it? ANY WONDER I AM IMBALANCED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Still the Body, 2) Still the Mind, 3) Focus the Attention =4) Meditation

I have begun an 8 week meditation course, in order to help me de-stress and be calm. Only problem is I really find it difficult. First you have to find your mind's eye. Then you have to make it twinkle like a star, and imagine that it is your soul. A calm and peaceful soul. Then you have to do something with your mantra all the while making sure that there is not tension anywhere in the body. You need to make sure there is no tension in your leg muscles, your stomach muscles are relaxed, your shoulders are relaxed, your neck and facial muscles are relaxed, and your jaw muscles are relaxed. Next, you close your eyes very gently and very sweetly as if resting for sleep, but you remain fully awake and fully alert behind the eyes. Your eyeballs are fixed straight ahead – horizontally.There should be no squinting or pressure placed on the eyelids. No pressure on the forehead. No pressure! No pressure to be totally and utterly relaxed while you are mantra-ing and chakra-ing and finding the star between your eyebrows????? AAAAAAAHHHHHHH this is so stressful!!!! So much for de-stressed, I feel distressed!
