Especially people who think they have too much thoughts or emotions to meditate, or that meditation is complex, or that it is an activity.

Yes.

[Aakash]

@Shin  another question, when you guys are meditating- in your presence of awareness do you hold onto your body. meaning are you awareness (after you've found it) out there

or are you awareness within the frame of your body

or the last option is are you the totality of awareness the body (being felt as being) + out of body awareness? 

i feel more complete when i have adopted a sense of being through the body aswell because then i think i've driven it through direct experience. But i'm not sure if what i'm doing is correct.

Gold. Saved this.

Love the river metaphor. Just very hard when your having negative emotions/thoughts and trying not to get lost in them

[purerogue]

Awareness  increases your well being in daily life, it has allot of positive effects and it is not that draining at all, after while you fell more energized and clear minded then ever, it will improve your overall health,  not joking.

So much wisdom

I watched this yesterday.

I agree. Very good. To the point.

Fourth way Inquiry aka esoteric Christianity is sometimes referred to as Transformation of being.

No need to complicate it. Just be the awareness being aware of objects, thought, feel, sight, sound, taste, smell

That's the only thing there is to do really.

This, and when it comes genuinely to us, questioning what that presence is really.

More than that can be useful but not necessary, and of course like the Monk says in the video,

Only having the concepts, or the practice, or the embodiment in the real world won't be enough, we need to have all 3.

Do not get confused , he said essence of mediation is Awareness, it does not mean that there are is no need for other things, or that there are not many mediation  forms, they all simply need Awareness.

All practices that anchor oneself into the awareness that is being aware are good practices. The practices that do that differs from person to person.

Nice video. It doesn't need to be complicated.

[Shin]

It can't be complicated if it's what we are by default ...
