Meditacija
čuječnosti
Danes se ogromno govori o meditaciji
čuječnosti. Vsi delajo znanost iz le te in jo poskušajo razložiti
na vse možne načine. Na kratko povedano jo vsi ljudje že obvladamo
in prakticiramo, le zavedamo se je ne in jo ne prakticiramo aktivno.
Čuječnost je osredotočanje svojih
misli na sedanjost, na ta trenutek. Brez premišljevanja o
prihodnosti ali preteklosti. S tem usmerimo celotno našo
koncentracijo v to kar delamo in se osredotočimo na trenutno
aktivnost. S tem osredotočanjem postanemo bolj zbrani in se manj
obremenjujemo z ostalimi stvarmi. Tako preprosta stvar, ki je postala
pretirano zakomplicirana znanost, kar sploh ni potrebno. Vsi poznamo,
ko se na primer vozimo domov z avtom in se potem, ko pridemo domov
enega dela poti ne spomnimo. To pomeni da smo avtomatsko vozili in
nismo bili osredotočeni na tok misli. Še vedno smo osredotočeni na
okolico in na vožnjo, vendar smo bili z mislimi v preteklosti ali v
prihodnosti, v nekem abstratnem trenutku. Tu opazimo kako nam lahko
ta meditacija pomaga, da bolj umirjeno in osredotočeno živimo ter
se ne obremenjujemo s tem, kar ni sedaj osrednji fokus našega
življenja.
Meditacija pa pomeni samo tehniko,
kako doseči to čuječnost, kako na čim lažji način priti do
umiritve in osredotočenosti. Ponavadi se sedi med samo meditacijo,
lahko se pa tudi stoji ali leži, kakor komu bolje ustreza.
Tradicionalno je sedenje najboljša pozicija, ker vseh 5 plati telesa
gleda navzgor, torej dlani rok, stopala in srčna plat. Med
meditacijo se osredotočamo na dihanje in se poskušamo umiriti.
Ritem dihanja naj bi bil 4 sekunde vdiha in 8 sekund izdiha, da se
telo sprošča in dobi zadosti kisika. Med tem moramo misli
osredotočiti na dihanje oz. na naše telo in v kakšnem položaju se
nahaja. Misli morajo biti osredotočene samo na trenutno stanje in
pravo sedanjost, saj je vse ostalo odveč in nas preobremenjuje.
Ko osvojimo to tehniko, lahko
poskušamo isti način izpeljati med delom, tako da se osredotočimo
samo na trenutno aktivnost, v katero se popolnoma poglobimo, brez
ostalih misli. Preveliko posvečanje prihodnosti povzroča
anksioznost, misli usmerjene v preteklost pa depresijo, tako da je
najbolj zdrava rešitev za naše duševno stanje, osredotočenost na
pravo sedanjost in trenutek v katerem se nahajamo.

Mindfulness
meditation
Today, there is a huge talk about
mindfulness meditation. Everyone is doing a science out of this and
trying to explain it in every possible way. In short, all people have
already mastered and practiced it, we are only not aware of it and
not practicing it actively.
Mindfulness is focusing on your
thoughts on the present, at this very moment. No thinking about the
future or the past. By doing so, we focus our entire concentration on
what we do and focus on the current activity. By focusing, we become
more concentrated and less burdensome with other things. Such a
simple thing that has become an excessively complicated science,
which is not necessary at all to become this complicated. We all
know, for example, when we drive home with a car and, after we come
home, we do not remember a part of the trip. This means that we were
automatically driving and we were not focused on the flow of our
thought. We were still focused on the environment and driving, but we
have been thinking about the past or in the future, at some exact
moment. Here we see how this meditation can help us to live more
calmly and concentrated, and not burdening ourselves with what is not
the central focus of our lives.
Meditation, however, is only a
technique, how to achieve this mindfulness, how to calm and focus in
the easiest way possible. Usually, one sits in meditation, one can
stand or lie as it feels easier. Traditionally, sitting is the best
position since all 5 sides of the body look up, that is, the hands,
feet and the heart. During meditation, we concentrate on breathing
and try to calm down. The breathing rhythm is supposed to inhale for
4 seconds and exhale 8 seconds to release the body tension and get
enough oxygen. In this context, we need to focus our thoughts on
breathing, or on our body and in what position it is located.
Thoughts should be focused solely on the current state and the true
present, since everything else is overwhelming and too burdening.
Once we get this technique, we can try
to do the same way during work, focusing solely on the current
activity, in which we completely deepen our focus, without other
thoughts. Excessive dedication to the future causes anxiety, and the
thoughts of the past are depression, so it is the healthiest solution
for our mental state, the focus on the true present and the moment in
which we are.
