MINDFUL MEDITATION

Returning to yourself

The movement of the mindWe live in a world of constant motion, where thoughts, emotions, and the mind itself can carry us away.
The nature of happinessLasting happiness and peace do not depend on outer circumstances — they arise from a space already present within each of us.
What meditation isMeditation is not an escape from life, but a full return to oneself — a return to clarity, so we can live in the present moment. It is a simple, steady practice of observing the mind, thoughts, emotions, and sensations as they arise and pass, without judgment.
The core of the Four Foundations of MindfulnessThis is the foundation of mindfulness:
- Mindfulness of the body — feeling the breath, posture, and bodily sensations.
- Mindfulness of feelings — observing pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral feelings without grasping or pushing away.

Prepare the posture
- Sit in a comfortable posture and keep the back straight.
- Rest the hands gently in the lap (right hand over left) and close the eyes.
Relax and scan the body
- Take three deep breaths.
- While breathing, scan the body from the soles of the feet to the crown of the head, sensing each feeling. This lets the mind settle and grow more alert.
Main meditation — visualizing the seed syllablesIn the mind, visualize three seed syllables of energy at specific places, then synchronize the breath with each syllable:
- Om — at the belly (just below the ribcage).
- Ah — at the throat.
- Hum — at the crown of the head.
- On the in-breath: picture the air flowing into the body and reaching the syllable Om at the belly.
- When the lungs are full: hold the breath briefly and rest the attention on the syllable Ah at the throat.
- On the out-breath: picture the air leaving through the crown of the head at the place of the syllable Hum.

You only lose what you cling to.

FOREWORD

The middle way.

dpdp is short for Dharma Point — also read as Deep Presence. Each minute of practice is recorded as 1 dp. Over time, dp accumulates more slowly — a quiet reminder that the depth of practice lies not in quantity, but in presence.
Tend the threadIf you are absent for several days in a row, the dp of the most distant days is gently returned, one by one. Your total time of practice remains whole. Not a punishment for missing, but a reminder that all things are impermanent. dp may come and go, yet each mindful breath is a fresh chance to begin again.
