Wasit mindfulness and meditation

 

Wasit is the mindful techniques & meditative approaches designed to develop the mind by cultivating higher subtle stillness and peacefulness until achieving the Meditative Serenity Stage, through the alternating practices between Mindfulness Walking and Breathing Meditations.

Mindfulness is defined by Buddhism Guru that is “the ability to remember and being aware of what you are doing in the movement of the body and mind.”

Mindfulness is known to reduce and eliminate distractions, and sustain meditation to raise up the higher wisdom. The more profound mindfulness, the deeper in meditation.

Without mindfulness, meditation could not exist. Mindfulness always accompanies the meditation, but their degree of profound is matter.

The meaning of positive meditation is the way of steadfast concentration on the positive neutral or virtuous thing.

The neutral things are, for example, breath, body, water, or color.

The virtuous things can be abstract or physical things. “Abstract” is, for example, compassion, mercy, generosity, rejoicing, or equanimity. Whereas “Physical” is, for example, the statue of the god, the scene of angel, monk, priest who we have faith in.

The meditative Serenity Stage is the stage where the breath seems to disappear. The mind in this stage is very calm, peaceful, and happy. Such feelings; calm, peaceful, and happy, are much better and deeper than the initial stages. In this stage, the breath is so subtle so fine as we could not notice any inhale and exhale at all. It seems empty without any substance of the body. Both mindfulness and meditation are now profound to a high degree.

Caution*** Meditation directly impacts some aspects of behavior and perception. Selecting the right or proper meditation approach to matching our traits is necessary since each approach makes different results.***

1st. Practicing the right meditative approach which matches with the practitioner's trait. then

2nd. Strong and deep Mindfulness & Meditation incurred. then

3rd. Positive perception and better virtue, then

4th. Improve or/and change the emotion, behavior, characteristics, and lifestyles, then

According to the study of Antoine Lutz, Lawrence L. Greischar, Nancy B. Rawling, Matthieu Ricard, and Richard J. Davidson from W.M Keck Laboratory for function Brain Imaging and Behavior, Waisman Center, and Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience, Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin, “It is likely to base on the description of various meditation practices and mental strategies that are reported by practitioners that there will be differences in brain function associated with different types meditation.”

 

Why should be the Meditative Walking techniques?

Among the body’s major postures; lying, sitting, standing, and walking, walking draws out the most effective mindfulness to the efforts of practice through not only the body movement but also the body balance. With the Wasit Mindfulness Walking techniques, practitioners could enhance the levels of awareness up to their endeavors.

Why should be the Breathing Meditative Approach?

Breath is our life. It directly relates to our health and emotion. Breath, body, and mind are directly associated. If we develop a breath, we will be able to improve our life.

The breathing meditative approach has been regarded as the best approach among many others since it not only provides better and deeper stillness, peacefulness, and wisdom but also fits for all practitioners. Moreover, the breathing meditative approach solely contributes to positive effects on both behavior and perception.

Tips before practicing Wasit Breathing Meditative Approaches

1. Strongly Recommend finishing “Wasit Mindfulness Walking” at least 45 mins. before doing “Wasit Breathing Meditation”.

2. Always search and concentrate on the Focus Point (FP) where the breath is touching, after finishing The Physical Focusing Approach.

(The FP is the tiny area somewhere on the inner nose tip or somewhere between the upper lip and the nose. The smaller and more obvious the FP, the better the meditation (Basic knowledge No.2).

3. Do not influence the breath. Let it breathe naturally.

4. All we need to do is just mentally speaking out the "saying word" while concentrating on the breath on the FP, in order to cultivate and strengthen the mindfulness.

5. Make sure that you are free during and after the session since your emotion will be easily burst out once being affected by the unhappy affairs.

6. Recommend starting with the Physical Focusing Approach before breathing meditation since

  a. practitioners need to adjust both body and mind when changing the postures from walking or standing to sit,

  b. always providing a job for the mind with a simple approach, such as Counting Approach to match with the initial rough emotion.

  c. through the simple approach of the Physical Focusing Approach, practitioners can cultivate concentration by focusing on the specific areas of the body before stepping to focus on the tiny area of the next approaches.
