HT meditation
Ultimately, meditation is simply self-watching from a different aspect of consciousness—a way of becoming selfless. This you can do while washing dishes, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, or making a meal. In fact, preparing a meal with love is a wonderful meditation.
HT meditation focuses on being here now. It means being fully present in this moment. It means being aware of everything that is or is not going on in this moment. The present is not tomorrow nor is it yesterday. There is nothing present except exactly what is occurring right now.
After attaining awareness of this moment, meditation further entails separating ourselves from that. It constitutes observing yourself and looking at the moment you are living and saying, “This is not me. This is mine. I created this, but I am not this. I am the creator of it and the watcher of it, but I am not that which is being watched.”
This is knowing who you really are, and it is the aim and the result of HT meditation. It is the brain’s experience of “breathing deeply.” From a neural perspective, I believe that meditation is an expansion of consciousness to the unconscious realm. This means that consciousness escapes the exclusive domain of knowledge and the five senses, and that it penetrates the boundanes between the neocortex (responsible for higher thinking) and limbic system (responsible for emotions) in the brain. Ultimately, I believe it is possible to unlock and become one with the unconscious mind with full awareness. I have experienced this subjectively, and I hope one day that neuroscientists can explain it objectively.
