Different forms of mindful centering
MEDITATION
Centering THROUGH - doing means to practice for short periods of time doing nothing or nothing on the physical and mental level. This helps us to gently settle and center our mind in our own primary awareness, at the moment
Mindfulness is by its nature a centering activity, so on one level, you might say that any form of mindfulness done well is a form of centering practice. You can then try them out and see which one or combination works best for you.
Body, senses, breathing: Whenever you bring your attention mindfully to any of these three, then by implication you start to bring yourself back to your center, both in terms of physical location and the present moment. A few moments of being aware of your breathing or one of your senses or the weight of your body are all ways of establishing a very basic experience of the center.
Awareness of your non-center: If you are feeling off-center and it's difficult to settle, then using observation and curiosity ask yourself 'What is preventing me from feeling centered and present?' Observing your resistance to the present and your center will, paradoxically, help you find your center!
Your vertical core: Imagine a line of light going down from the crown of your head. This is your physical body's vertical center or core. Sitting or standing, rock your body from side to side and then from front to back whilst focusing on your vertical core. Then take a few breaths centering on your vertical center, connecting to the feeling of balance that comes from it. For a meditator, the fundamental pattern of their consciousness changes. Like all of us, a meditator has complex life problems which he or she has to deal with. However, instead of moving from one complex problem to another, a meditator regularly returns their attention to a state of simplicity and non-complexity.
Simplicity and complexity: One of the ideas with meditation is that, by returning regularly to a state of simplicity your ability to deal effectively with complex problems improves. By returning to simplicity, you can deal with one complex problem separately from the others, rather than have emotions from your work life negatively influencing your personal life and vice versa. Regularly returning to simplicity gives you a stable center from which you can meet the challenges of your life without feeling so intimidated and off balance.
