How to create a condition of thoughtlessness during heartfulness meditation?
Thoughts that arise in meditation often shift our focus from the heart.
We could understand the process of not paying attention to thoughts better if we consider these thoughts as impressions.
Each action in our lives leaves behind a trace,
An impression.
Every thought and action performed with the feeling of eye or consciousness of self leaves a trail of subtle impressions in the heart that become the seeds for future thoughts and actions.
When we pay attention to these thoughts,
They again lead to the formation of more impressions.
Our repeated thoughts leading to actions further develop into habits.
When we meditate,
There is a dilution of our awareness.
The thoughts or impressions that have been accumulated over years and solidified by repetition find space to surface in our awareness.
They tend to drop away after a while as we start ignoring them when we meditate and thus we gradually develop a condition of thoughtlessness.
This is experienced in brief intervals in the beginning of our practice.
As and how we practice meditation with increasing regularity and for longer periods of time,
Mastering meditation grows on us,
Leaving behind unrivaled serenity.
