Meditation Techniques - for More Advanced Students
In spite of the fact that the exercises on this page are more difficult, focus, attention, and concentration form the basis of the techniques. In most of the exercises for more advanced students, we turn our attention more to the outside world. Moreover, we begin to BE instead of to DO. This requires good concentration and experience without judging, drawing conclusions, and thinking about unimportant matters. If these exercises are too hard for you, just return to the basic Meditation Techniques. In fact, in all circumstances, we advise you to do the basic Meditation Techniques regularly. For most people, these exercises go far and deep enough. In this section, we have summed up the best exercises for more advanced students.
