“Fixed” Meditation – Putting Suffering on the Sidelines

You and I live in a world where we have to complain, where too much negativity surrounds us, where the slightest thing can set off our nerves of anger. Even though we often tell ourselves not to get angry, not to be angry, we are still controlled by our anger. In addition, these negative emotions can be contagious, like a viral cold that makes those around us feel bad, but there is nothing they can do about it. If you need to, we can take a moment now to taste the flavor of “fixation” together. The feeling of “jing” is not the same as the feeling of being in a deep meditative state that encompasses everything, it is a state of consciousness that is equal, transparent and peaceful. When you experience “jing”, you will no longer be hijacked by your emotions, and you will have a healthier and more comfortable state of mind. Try the following steps to practice the meditation method of “jing”. 1, close your eyes and take a few minutes to take a few deep breaths to relax and stabilize your emotions. Afterward, you can focus your attention on your stomach, chest, or lips, feeling them rise and fall with your breath. 2, Concentrate on the emotional colors you have experienced in the past, and see if they are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. It is important to experience the various thoughts and feelings that rise in your mind with an impartial and unbiased mind, and to allow this impartiality to grow. 3, experience the ease, relaxation and peace that is within you at this time, and calmly inspect these thoughts and feelings. Let your consciousness become more and more stable, more and more peaceful, more and more calm. 4, listen to the sounds around you, but don’t let what you hear affect your mind; experience the sensations, and again don’t let them affect your mind; experience the thoughts, and again don’t get caught up in them. 5, As you listen, experience and think for yourself, pay attention to the emotional coloring attached to various thoughts and feelings to see if they are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. You are a spectator, experiencing them as they come and go and change, and they have nothing at all to do with true happiness. Don’t identify with them and don’t get mixed up with them. The truth is, people need to use them, but no one needs to have them. 6, Experience these thoughts and feelings coming and going, but don’t react to them. Experience yourself gradually detaching from them so that you are neither trying to capture joy nor desperately resisting pain. In joy, there is only joy, nothing else, and no reaction to your feelings of joy. In neutral feeling, there is also only neutral feeling itself, nothing else, and no reaction on your part to neutral feeling. It is an unbiased state of mind, without any inclination. Let your consciousness rest without any outward reaction. This state is the “jing” of Buddhist practice, the freedom to enter deeper and deeper levels of “jing” with each breath, as much as you can, to experience the ultimate in freedom, fulfillment, and serenity. At this time, you can open your eyes, bring what you see into the “fixed”, no matter what you see, without any preference to bring it into your space of consciousness, no matter whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, neutral or not to do any reaction. 8, at the end of the meditation, move your body and experience the sensations of each part of your body, again without any preference, and without evaluating the sensations, whether they are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. The next day, you can carefully experience, your inner state of this “fixed” state will bring yourself and the people around you what.
