Detached Watching
I suggest that becoming one with the unconscious in an awakened state is one form of enlightenment. We awaken to our true essence and we become aware of our “oneness.” After having such an experience, it becomes possible to watch the realm of consciousness from within the unconscious. We are able to see things as they really are, without the filter of thoughts or ideas. This is called “detached watching.”
As a tool of HT, our most fundamental meditation practice combines Dahn-jon breathing with Ji-gam (energy sensitivity training). The interplay between the development of our energy sensitivity and watchfulness of our thoughts and breath allows us to quiet our minds and simply be in the moment.
The training I present below helps us reach a state of relaxed concentration very fast. We are able to learn a way to become present in the here and now by concentrating on the breath that leaves and enters our bodies and the subtle sensations of the body’s energy.
The key to meditation is to extend this state of relaxed concentration, creating a peaceful and clear consciousness of being, here and now. It is this state that we wish to bring to our every day lives.
