The Relaxed Mind
The Relaxed Mind: A Seven-Step Method for Deepening Meditation Practice | Tulku Thondup, Dza Kilung Rinpoche
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Meditators relax! An esteemed modern Tibetan Buddhist teacher presents a system of meditation instructions he devised especially for those affected by the too-fast-paced Western world (i.e., most all of us)--to help them relax, as a way of deepening their meditation practice. In the late 1990s, shortly after arriving in the United States, it became clear to Dza Kilung Rinpoche that his Western students responded to traditional meditation instructions differently from his students back in Asia. The Westerners didn't know how to relax -- our pressured, fast-paced lifestyles carried over into meditation. The Relaxed Mind contains instructions for the seven-phase meditation practice Dza Kilung Rinpoche developed for students in the West. It's adapted from traditional instructions to counteract the overwhelming distraction that is becoming a global culture these days, not only in the West. Experienced meditators may be surprised to find their practice deepening through letting go of tension. This is also an excellent meditation manual for any beginner.

I wish I could ever relax as well as my little pug Gus! Maybe when morning chores are done, I can relax and read! #dogsoflitsy #gusthepug

I plan to do this Friday. I am so excited about a day off from school and nothing scheduled on that day (for the most part) that I plan to read all day. I'm even going out after work to buy snacks so I don't have to make anything. 🎉
