Meditation for Today
“From Gibberish to Silence”
Today’s meditation “From Gibberish to Silence” will leave the mind more pure
and fresh, it is one of the most scientific ways to clean our minds.
Forgetting about good old fashioned manners, “Imagine saying everything that
you ever wanted to say and have not been able to say because of civilization,
education, culture, society and conditioning.
And then saying it in any language that you have heard but you don’t know!
For example, if you have heard Chinese but don’t know Chinese, say it in
Chinese!
And the same goes for any language which you may have heard but you do
not know.
So, shouting, laughing, crying, making noise, making gestures. Simply allow
whatever comes to your mind without bothering about its rationality,
reasonability, meaning or significance, just the way the birds are doing.
Saying anything that is moving in your mind, all kinds of rubbish – just
throwing it out.
Do it totally, with great enthusiasm and sincerity.
The Method
Each stage lasting 5 minutes.
The first Stage:
Gibberish. Make nonsense sounds and speak any language you don’t know.
You have total freedom to shout, scream, and express your feelings.
The second stage:
Laughing. Laugh totally, for no reason at all.
The third stage:
Cry and weep without any reason, to your heart’s content.
The last stage:
Lie down – be still and silent as if you are dead, only the breathing comes and
goes.
