Solving Meditation

Learn
how to meditate the Problem
Solving Meditation. Involve the
opinion of your subconscious
mind to solve problems.
The
problems are the situations
where you need to act, but you
do not know the exact path of
action. At best you know what
should be the outcome. For
every problem there should be
more than one outcome. In this
case you even do not know the
best outcome.
The
problems are the regular part of
day-to-day life. The problems can be a very trivial and simple, like the dilemma
whether you should take umbrella
or not. On the other hands the
problems can be very complex and
effecting our life extensively,
like the dilemma should you
choose another job in different
town for a higher paycheck and
less private time, or stay in
current job that is less paid,
but gives you more time for
private activities.
The
answer for any problem cannot be
simple. The fact is that every
problem is caused by many events
and facts that are connected
somehow. Basically, we are
bringing the decision, but the
question is do we process all
facts and make the best solution
for the problem, or we simply
take "ready-fire without
aiming" approach.
The
answers to the solution of the
problems can be found in our sub consciousness.
Our sub
consciousness
is the supercomputer that stores
and processes all inputs of our
life. The conscious mind can
miss something, but sub consciousness does not miss. The problem of
utilizing our sub
consciousness
is the fact that during the
awaken
state the conscious mind is
suppressing messages from the
sub consciousness. The conscious mind is fighting
with all daily routine things
around you. The conscious mind
is very loud and is jamming all
frequencies. In order to
approach the answers from sub consciousness it is necessary to suspend the
conscious mind for a while and
approach the subconscious mind.

The
problem solving meditation
should help you to approach the
subconscious mind for a problem
solving. Place yourself in
comfortable position. Sitting
position can be very suitable.
Chose a quiet and private room.
There is no need for dark room,
since it is recommended to leave
your eyes open. Breath deeply,
without any specific pattern.
Breath slow and deeply,
without any counting or
breathing technique. Try to open
up your mind while your eyes are
carelessly wandering around
room. Do not pressure your self
or expect any spectacular
results, since problem solving
may requires more than one
session. Keep a note pad and pen
close to you. Start thinking
about the problem, but do not
take it to personal. Imagine as
if that is not your problem at
all. Try to think about causes
of the problem. Try to think
about possible solutions. Think
about consequences of solution.
If nothing comes up to your
mind, do not pressure, just try
again later. After initial
scanning of the problem causes
and possible solution, loose
your attention from the problem
and get some distance from it.
Push it gently to the edge of
your attention, but still keep
it on your horizon. Do not
consciously ask for the answers,
simply keep the problem in
vicinity. You may even allow
yourself to become a bit drowsy,
but do not fall asleep. Allow
spontaneous pictures related to
the problem to cross your mind.
If you find some picture or word
to be interesting, make a note,
but in very short words. Do not
make full sentences, since you
will bring up your conscious
that will overpower pictures
from your subconscious mind.
The
results may not come up from the
first problem solving session.
Keep writing down ideas that may
come up to your mind. The ideas
can come up not only when you
try to get them, but any time.
Record any idea that comes to
your mind at any time of the
day. The good moments for
receiving the pictures and ideas
from your mind are not only
during the meditation, but
during any other period when
your conscious mind is slightly
suspended from full operational
mode. The moment when you awake,
but not fully awaken is one
example. A long driving is the
period is the time when your
conscious mind is often not
actively involved. During the
long driving the subconscious
usually takes over; you drive on
subconscious autopilot and you
may be having a different
pictures and thoughts. Finally
meditation is another period for
opening the space to your
subconscious to speak up.
Regardless are you receiving the
messages during meditation,
before being fully awake, during
driving, while waiting in
waiting room, or any other
period when your conscious mind
is loosing focus and your
subconscious mind start to
transmit messages, it is
important to record these
messages. Simply write it down.
When you are in meditative or
"drowsy" state you may
not fully remember messages.
Wring them down enables you to
show it to your conscious mind
later on. The conscious mind can
take these messages as an a new
inputs for decision making.

Problem
solving meditation can take time
for sub
consciousness
to process the fact and transmit
the message during the periods
when the channels are open. The
problem solving meditation
techniques can be used in wider
context too. If you need to do
something creative like writing
the article o finding the
inspiration for something, try
to suspend your conscious mind
and give your sub
consciousness
to speak up. Remember to keep
the notes of your subconscious
messages. Keep notes as they
come, do not try to shape them
in nice sentences, since you
will awake your conscious mind.
Just allow your subconscious
mind to speak up.
