- Magnify the good.
- Try this insight meditation. Close your eyes and hold the feeling or situation you want to explore in your concentration for a few moments. When you are ready, ask your subconscious mind to produce an image that describes either the situation or the feeling that you are trying to understand. Let the image surface. At first, it may seem to have nothing to do with what you are asking. Persevere. It may take practice to understand the symbols of your mind. After studying the image, end the meditation and open your eyes. You can continue to think about the image when you are not meditating as well as the insights you have gained.
- True meditation is making everything - coughing, swallowing, waving, movement and stillness, speaking and acting, good and evil, fame and shame, loss and gain, right and wrong - into one single koan. - Hakuin
