Intuition Intulexia meditation is a practice to put us back in touch with ourselves, We can begin to see how it can happen anywhere at any-time. We can “practice” or “meditate” while we walk, while we eat, while we interact with another human being, while we paddle, while we shower, while we surf and while we practice yoga.
It’s a simple as closely paying attention to what we are experiencing through our senses. If we hear a sound, as tempted as we may be to label the sound, allow it to caress our eardrums, giving it our full attention. If we see a beautiful sight, resist the urge to label what we see and simply allow our eyes to feast. If we touch a pleasant material or a soft hand, allow ourselves to experience it fully without the responsibility of creating a story around the experience. If our intuition requests our attention, bestow it. It will rarely steer us wrong.
Practicing in a quiet room, with as little distraction as possible is extremely beneficial, as it grants us a space in which our focus is heightened. Similar to the way we study for an important exam in a quiet room, or set aside a time slot which is fully devoted to practising the piano, reducing the amount of “things” which request our attention will allow us to work through the challenges of being a beginner meditator.
There are various techniques that are taught to students, such as breath awareness, mantra chanting and insight meditation. All of them are effective and accessible. The most important tool to remember is that the moment we realize we are no longer in the present moment and have drifted either into our memories or the movies playing in our head about the future, we are aware.
And that is the success we want to experience over and over again, until we find ourselves increasingly in the present moment living awakened, raw, magnificent lives.
