Meditation of Calmness. Meditation of Silence.

(Awakening of Memory)

First Phase

As everyone knows, women are more perceptive and emotional than men.[1]

In extreme emotional states (grief — joy: both extremes represent — stress) a woman instinctively, unconsciously, reflexively puts her hand on her chest. By doing this, she protects her heart and sets it at deep calmness. She is born with this knowledge/instinct.

Any woman can confirm that this is practically a borderline between life and death; neither here — nor there.

She is in a state of deep calmness, inner-focused; such protection is given to her by nature. Women, tell me if Master is wrong. Am I not right?

Today, this gesture is preserved by men in the Middle East, who tend to have a wider emotional range. It is a gesture of greeting and respect. With this gesture, they put passions of the heart to rest.

It is inherent in mountain-dwelling^[2] people they are tough and straightforward. With gesture a mountain-dwelling person defends himself from others — he calms himself down and urges another person to do be attentive.

The gesture remains — the knowledge was lost.

The knowledge of meditative calmness was lost.

How to Awaken Meditative Calmness

(Before you try to do this, read carefully.
The text is simple but requires attention.)

First Phase (Static)

(Condition: Stop for a second and don't fuss around. Do not overexert yourself.)

You can sit on a chair or stand. Your eyes should be open. (No lying down or sitting on the floor.)

1. Let your hand rest on your chest in a natural way. It is not — an intellectual centipede — it does not have to think; it knows its place.

2. A light, natural inhalation will occur spontaneously; it is short. Listen to your hand from inside. Exhale naturally. Listen to your hand from inside.

3. A second breath. Your chest will expand spontaneously, naturally. Listen to your hand from inside. Exhalation will occur naturally. Do not block your breathing; do not interrupt it.

Your hand knows better — listen to your hand from inside.

4. A third breath — your spine will stretch up naturally and spontaneously, and your breathing will fill you up. Do not be tense; do not overexert yourself — listen to your hand from inside.

An exhalation will occur naturally; don't focus your attention on it — listen to your hand from inside.

5. Remove your hand from your chest. Hold your attention on the spot where you placed your hand — peacefully and effortlessly.

And that's all.

Time: Remain in this position for two to three minutes. The procedure is finished. The first phase (static) is completed.

You can get back to your normal activities without disrupting your daily routine.

Deep calmness will stay with you for seven to twenty minutes, but the sense of calmness will last much longer. This period of time will grow with your experience.

After you verify it, I have a question to everyone, and to sophisticated professionals as well. Do practical methods exist, or did they ever exist — any methods, wherever and whenever — that achieve this much in such a short period of time, and convey it through the written word?

Let's agree: This is only possible because it is really an instinct (evolutionary optimization — the best option possible).

That's why I'm saying this: masters never invented anything; they are pragmatists of the pragmatists.

(The description of the inner correlations/processes in the procedure detailed above is extremely specific and represents a practical value for only a very small number of specialists.)

It may be interesting to discover how masters are actually taught.

Below is an example. It contains complete information about the inter-connections of what is said briefly and pragmatically above.

Light a Candle^©

Army of doubts, army of passions,

Darkness.

The fortress of the guru is under siege.

Light a candle, light it.

Shield the gate with your arm — protect.

Light a candle, light it.

Don't close your eyes, Don't look down nor up.

Breathe in three times, breathe out three times —

Be careful, do not blow on the candle.

Light it.

You are ready, open the gate — enter.

And that's — all.
