Ease of the Middle Way

Meditation

  • Sit comfortably. Grab your thighs very tightly, tensing your whole body. 
  • Be wrapped up in your thoughts making them very solid. 
  • Now relax completely and become so loose that you can barely sit up. Be extremely dull in your thinking that you don’t even have a whiff of what you are thinking about. 
  • Tense your body and mind. Relax completely your body and mind. 
  • Tense then relax. 
  • Tense your body and mind less. Loosen your body and mind less. 
  • Now let your body and mind rest naturally between tensing and relaxing. 
  • Remain not too tight, not too loose. 
  • In balance, rest at ease while remaining alert.
  • Rest in balance and harmony. 
  • Allow the mind that is at ease and the mind that is attentive be present for others.
