Their are many gaps in the information I present
WILD
From what I have studied and practiced.
A simple way to work with the body, and mind
Meditation analysis
Most laymen know , "Meditation? ahh clear the mind? simple!"
Picking some of this apart I'll lay upon you what I find to be true for myself and substantially universal for much who deeply practice
As you attempt to WILD, forget about WILD. It's sleep time.
Take the time, clear your mind
Rest and relax your body.
Position yourself much like you're just going to bed.
Now what you're attempting , is to be aware of your dream.
When you fall asleep you're loosing awareness in an attempt to fall asleep and surrender your mind to run it's usual program
But, you have to hit in between Letting yourself go, but holding on to what is going on with your mind and body.
This is the practice that takes time
At this point you must be the WATCHER
Let us split our activities of consciousness as
The Thinker, The Feeler, The watcher
Instead of thinking upon a thought
Ex: Man, I need to do this, or that
Don't press the thought further.
let it stop itself.
When a memory comes up
We have emotions that are triggered
Ex: Happy, sad, fear
Don't press the memory further
Let it stop itself
This whole time you are watching yourself do this
But usually only part of your awareness if really watching
you are being impulsive
Focus more on watching yourself do all this
after awhile it will all slow
To help with relaxation
Watch the way your body feels; don't react to it just watch
Watch the way your thoughts flow; Don't react , just watch
now at some point you will feel yourself accepting the rest,
and have no feeling or thoughts to want to actually physically move
Feed have your awareness of watching, to resting
This is the balance we all struggle to find
Sometimes we remain to aware of watching how we are, and remain awake
Sometimes we fall to deep and loose more awareness of watching ourselves, that soon the body is being impulsive, and doing as it sees fit. Resting, sleeping
This balance will allow you to on command be able to WILD
This is... the true nature of meditation.
Which is the natural tool towards WILD
That which allows Monks to push this evermore futher and practice dream yoga.
Or Reach many forms of enlightenment , or peace, or bliss
Because this practice helps ourselves learn to be more aware.
To not let our emotions control our actions.
Not to say , emotions are destructive.
But to say, their need to be a balance between Emotional, and rational.
Wise mind
