Advaitacentrum

When relaxation comes, striving stops and silence comes into being.
With internal clarity, the process of relaxation goes deeper and the silence becomes greater.
Consiousness becomes wider, the feeling-being unfolds:
self-being becomes a simple everything-is.
Formal meditation with discipline (sitting still and taming the mind) is not necessary.
The clear space of relaxation lets games and impressions appear and then dissolve like a lump of sugar in hot coffee.
Life is movement and meditation is living.
So let the meditation join the movement.
The breath moves, the body is never stock-still, the energy flows.
The body gets impulses to move, to lie down, to stretch.
In the sphere of relaxing clarity, naturalness has more chance.
The camraderie of the event enhances the process. Openness lets openness arise.
The self-being continually manifest itself, until it rediscovers its own previous true nature.
So there are days of silence in spontaneity.
So there is life.
