Wind meditation technique

3 posts in this topic

I recently came up with a visualization exercise/meditation technique and I'm not sure about its true effectiveness. I live on an island, so it's windy pretty much all the time. In the summer, I meditate outside on a hill behind my house. 

So one day I got this idea: why wouldn't I let the wind blow my thoughts away leaving my head empty? I can visualize my brain - this thought generator -getting emptied every second, as its content is being thrown into the outside world. This really helps me get in the present moment and I feel that it makes it much easier not to get caught in monkey mind.

Any thoughts?

@Trangoody I think its a great idea... makes me want to live on an island :P Don't worry about its effectiveness, unless it just doesn't work for you. It's similar to the letting thoughts run down the stream meditation, but with the wind I can imagine its easier to visualize as you said.

Thank you for your answer, I'll keep doing it since it works for me.
