A contemplation exercise: just sit

[Theplay]

So I wanted to share my favorite practice and the one that got me the most results:

Just sit.

No rules. No aim. No limitations.

Sit somewhere you are comfortable and set a timer for as long as you feel like.

And for that time all you have to do, is to be alone with yourself.

The inquiry will happen naturally.

Sometimes it wont. But that's ok.

Sometimes you will just sit with monkey mind and it will feel like you are not making any progress.

Let it be.

Because at other times what I found out is: The inquiry will happen of itself.

Because you are curious about some things.

The more you do it the more it becomes like a spontaneous meditation, but without the intention to be so.

My deepest insights came from this kind of practice ,

and that is why I wanted to share it with you.

Namaste

Good. I would call ''just sitting'' a meditation practice rather than contemplation. Contemplation is using your wise mind to deeply think about something, whereas meditation is more concerned about taming the monkey rather than using it to get the bananas of insights.
