Hi Guys!!!!! :heart:
Heres the Headless meditation everyone has been asking about. In a nutshell this meditation opens and develops the heart centre dramatically over time and the way to do it is to visualize yourself as headless; move headlessly. It sounds bizarre, but it works. Walk, and feel as if you have no head. In the beginning it will be only ”as if.” When the feeling will come to you that you have no head, it will be very weird and strange. But by and by you will settle down at the heart. When you do this meditation suddenly you will feel a strange thing: it will be as if for the first time you are at the heart. Walk headlessly. Sit down to meditate, close your eyes, and simply feel that there is no head. Feel, ”My head has disappeared.” In the beginning it will be just ”as if,” but by and by you will feel that the head has really disappeared. And when you feel that your head has disappeared, your center will fall down to the heart – immediately. You will be looking at the world through the heart and not through the head.
When for the first time Westerners reached Japan, they couldn’t believe that Japanese had traditionally believed for centuries that they think through the belly. If you ask a Japanese child – if he is not educated in Western ways ”Where is your thinking?” he will point to his belly. Centuries and centuries have passed, and Japan has been living without the head. It is just a
concept. If I ask you, ”Where is your thinking going on?” you will point toward the head, but a Japanese will point to the belly, not to the head. And one of the reasons why the Japanese mind is more calm, quiet and collected, is this.
Let me know how you get on.
