Buddha's Technique- Vipassana Meditation

Enjoy better health through this technique- propagated in this age by our Guruji- S.N. Goenka. We all know basically that health comes to people with good taste, good bodies made of good deeds (temple body), pure and clean habits, love for good environments, good company, and the like. Ill-health comes to those, and from those who meet others, who like wrong company, who like infections and virus around them, by doing bad deeds or courting bad thoughts and bad feelings. Live in clean air. What our world requires is a world without mental pollution of low and evil first of all. Our homes will have a good environment and prosperity, only with good thoughts and good behaviour- reveberating and echoing through them. (Good depths and roots too). Meet the good, and meet a good fate thereby.

Buddha discovered that the body-mind connection being there, breath and sensations of the body (now we know our face, personality also are according to our nature) are connected to our mind. So with desire, anger syndrome of wrong positivity and negativities, raga-dwesha, as he called the devils that eat our peace and comfort within, cause our breaths to heave, and get disturbed and loud, uneasy, and as well as the sensations to become excited, flared up, and painful. So, his technique makes us observe the (softer) breath in the nostrils area alone, not heart, lungs or stomach or deeper areas, that is not deep breathing at this stage; not regulating the breath, just observing it with equanimity, without reacting. Awareness and equanimity, properly maintained towards sensations from head to toe and toe to head in a more or less circular and systematic order (making us in the central chakra- the hriday chakra) in between the heart and stomach, brings back peace, bliss, security, health, well-being, by quietening breaths, sensations, pains centrally within the body disappear. When inner pains disappear, pin prick also on the body will not suffer so much as it will when the inner central organisms in the body have pain. This is the one very big, good benefit of Vipassana meditation. The whole body will become full of sensations, which feel wonderfully blissful and peaceful- not disturbed, painful, dirty ones. Practice the meditation with good character, Brahmachariya, good thoughts, Ahimsa (non-injury), non-stealing( not going after excesses, but moderation in wealth). When we do this, our excess frills and coverings of all spiritual stuff shed, and our natural, real, naked inner truths and self emerge. Buddha refers to Aniccha- the impermanence law. Let us take to permanence within, shedding all false, upper chakras, and reaching the Muladhara chakra at the base of the spine, where the real truths of the self, spirituality, Nirvana, of nothingness, blank, zero, out of space emerges the best, permanent, true love life.

My comments on this technique which feels wonderful when practiced-
a) Blood pressure-increases when are selfish,egoistic,desire,anger, exitements,emotions and the like loudly.Get soft,cool,light,and finer states of mind but also get into moderation of moods of loud and power in heart and depth ,so as to not get low blood pressure as well.
b)Heart attacks-when we feel ill will ,too much excitements,tensions,disturbances,negativities,
loudly,heavily,hot or burning,too or wrongly selfish of a suffering kind or mood or suffer for others sake either.
c)Diabetese-when we are over indulging in sweet states of posivity or rather pleasure with attachments,without sober or self control,this swinging us to thr other end of the pendulum of sorrow based evils,instead of living happily rather blissfully,in the meditation depth,rather cetral balace of the pendulum,not going out of the chakra,circle wherein we rest blissfully without temptation to wrong pleasure .We are contented thereby wonderfully living honorably,decently.
Other types of ills based on negativities(these were positivity based ills)are cancer tumour coming to poisonously evil people who are obviosly sorrowful,depressed or at the brain level thinking noisily too fast or too negative instead of decent sober,serios tinking end up with brain ills.
So avoiding these most terrible pitfalls follow Vipassana with equanimity at not only conscios levels but deep and roots equanimity and peace which we feel too and enjoy as a state of feelings(of soothing feels 'Bhanga' means when our body dissolves into wavelets, vibrations, then we get to the central chakra and enjoy the state of being out of the body, knowing it is impermanent and we can be permanent when our body is innet, not an outer one.
