About unwise subjects of attention

 Some use meditation just to increase their abilitieas of objective observation. Such is typical to persons who do not fully understand masses of seen information in a fraction of a second, and so they pay especially attention to things, kind of drown to them compared to others, and so get masses of oínfluencies from them, but want to see also what is normally bypassed quickly since it is harmful influencies, and so they pay attention to death and dangers in a way that is unwise but caused by their preoccupation with other things so that they do not have enough capoacity to understand such fully in a short time while just bypassing those things and just noticing them as parts of the landscape that oen is in. Harmful influencies often come if some accident or the like is a major content of your mind while you do something else, so that the unwise tactics of the accident or whatever it is get copied to what you do, and so you might end up in an accident yourself. Simnilarly one cam get positive influencies from skilled forefigures in mind, from civiliced wisdom, good quality successes, etc.

Some meditation hints

* Meditation ought to make the body and sensations livelier, not khraah like grey nonenergatic, but instead alive, atmospheric, pleasant. So you should not keep your body dead stiff, but instead let it move slightly, let there be many meóvement intentions in your movements so that you can choose good ways of doing and let them vary according to the situation. Try to be in a landscape instead of restricted by your thoughts, so that you do not have kraa like edges, but instead something like hairs moving in a slight breeze, sensitive, alöivem varied. 

* Meditation place ought not be so cool that it is nonenergetic. Instead one oguht to be warm enough to be alive and enduring without loss of amount of wisdom.

* Sometimes sitting meditation opens attention,while meditation in motion opens the daily life to more pleasant sensations of colours, lights, shadow,s atmospheres, things too do, theior current, motion, body awareness with wisdom of life, etc

(28.12.2020   Oh, it hasjust been Christmas, and I tried meditating sitting on a Christmas carpet, since I thought it a good surface and a good place to sit on. But ifyou liked the Christmas like style, try eating a Christmas cookie, since that is one way of getting Christmas like atmosphere, and does not need so much religiousness. You could also read my text about the skills of Christmas gnomes http://learntalents.blogspot.com but it is very long and just my own, not traditional.)

About food and meditation

 Do Asians try to meditate, then go and drink tea and replace meditation with tea? Tea or food gives energy, and with enough energy life is much more pleasant and wise.We Finns use so little energy and eat so healthily that we have always so much energy, and so life is just nice. But we do not eat lots of meat on one meal and then long time just vegetables, like seems more close to Asianb ways, but instead we eat healthily on every meal so that we have a good amopunt of all kind of nutritients that we need in our lives. There is an advice for what is healthy: of a meal 1/3 ought to be vegetables, 1/3 to 1/2 rise, potatoes or the like, 1/5 to 1/3 meat, chocken, fish or the like. In addition some milk and a piece of bread with butter or the like on it, is also recommended but such is more often a snack between meals. There is another rule too: eat something like feels good and brings you energy and good mood, is good for life for the next few hours or so, eat something so from each of the fiuve groups of foods on every meal: 1. vegetables, fruits and berries, 2. meat, chicken, fish,soya, some nuts, 3. butter etc, 4. milk products, 5. bread and the like.

I guess agitated mood from eating vegetables comes from thinking too much that vegetables would bring energy. Instead Finns get energy from healthy natural things that tjey likem like hobbies, beauty of nature, sports, weather, friends, interesting things to read, etc

Meditation advice for beginners, but made thinking of cancer patients

Meditaatio-ohje aloittelijoille, mutta syöpäpotilaita ajatellen laadittu

Laadin parantamisaiheiseen blogiini http://parantamisesta.blogspot.com meditaatio-ohjeen syöpäpotilaille, kun ajattelin sellaista tarvittavan:

"Sellaiseenkai auttaisi MEDITAATIO, ei mikään kehon
tarkkailu"meditaatio" vaan tavallinen hengityksen tarkkailumeditaatio
ja ympäröivän maiseman & elämän kanssa tekemisissä oleminen arjessa
liikemeditaation tapaan ja keho vain sen kannalta enemmän hahmotettu,
että mikä on liikkumiselle hyvä. Eli hengitysmeditaatiossa seurataan
hengitystä, tarkkaillaan sitä ja sen vaikutuksia (terveiltä osin,
terveellä tavalla, elämänviisaasti, tms) kehoon ja mieleen ja
kontaktiin ympäristöön yms, eli oikeastaan ihan vain tavallisesti
hengitetään la tunnetaan ilman virta nenässä jne ja pyritään olemaan
luonnollisesti, pakottamatta, istumaan hyvässä asennossa paikoillaan
muttei jäykästi vaan niin kuin on liikunnallista ja luonnollinen ryhti
selkä suorassa kuten liikuntaharrastus tuo, ja tunteidenmukaisia
pyritään myös olemaan ja ajatuksia tulee ja mene muttei kehitellä
niitä vaan keskitytään tuntemaan aistimuksia ja olemaan tasapainossa,
nauttimaan tästä hetkestä ja pakottamattoman huomion tuomista
kauneusaistimuksista ja jotenkin viisaammasta tavasta olla asioiden
kanssa tekemisissä, ei niin palikkajärkisestä,tökertöstä eikä
keinotekoisesta vaan pikemminkin motivaation muakisesta ja arjen
persutekemisten ikiaikaista tervehenkistä perusmuotoa, perusvirtaa
arvostavasta, ja siitä löytää pakoton hereillä oleva elämisen tapa,
joka on samaan tapaan luonnollinen kuin ihan vain hengityksen kulku
tms pakottamaton peruseläminen, kun siitä on harrastunut tai kaipaa
lepotaukloa arjen hälinästä, ja myötäeläväkin pyritään olemaan, se on
huomiokyvylle hyväksi, sillä kuljetaan myötävrírtaan kuten asiat
tapahtuvat eikä keinotekoisesti väkerretä, mutta idea siis ihan vain
istua rennosti selkä suorassa ja seurata hengityksensä kulkua ja siinä
sivussa oppia hyvä pakottamaton huomio eli meditaatio. "

My translation:

10th of December 2020   I made a meditation advice to my Finnish blog about curing http://parantamisesta.blogspot.com . It is for beginners but made thinking of cancer patients, just in case they might need it.
"To such would help MEDITATION, not any bady observation "meditation", but instead ordinary meditation of observing breathing and living in connection with the mandscape around and life around like meditation in motion and of the body observe more mostly just how is good to move. 

In breathing meditation just follow your breathing, observe it and it's effects (healthy sides of them, in a healthy way, with wisdom of life, etc) on the body and mind and to oneäs contact with the environment etc, in fact just ordinarily breathe and feel the air moving in your nostrils etc, and aim to be naturally, without forcing, sit in a good posture,  still but not stiff, but instead like is sporty and a naturally straight back like sports hobbies bring, and aim also at living according to feelings, and thoughts come and go but don't ponder on them but isntead concentrate on feeling sensations and be in balance and enjoy the present moment and the sensation s of beauty brought by nonforcing attention and a somehow wiser way to associate with things, 

not so squarely thinking, not so clumsyly pushy nor artificial but instead according to motivation and valuing the everyday life's basic things done, their ages old basic form, basic current, and find from it a nonforcing way to be fully awake in living one's everyday life, which is natural the same way as breathing is or some other nonforcing basic life, when one likes it or needs a rest pause from the noise of everyday life, and one ought to aim at compassion too, such is good for attention, when one goes along how people and animals do things and not artificially forcing things to some form, but the idea is to just sit relaxedly with back straight and follow one's breathing and as a side effect learn a good nonforcing way to use attention, in other words meditation."

Calmness of mind

As far as I know calmness of mind isn't easiest to achieve by sitten and trying to meditate but in fact becoming agitated or staying agitated, which is partly a result of too unmoving, too thought-centerd way of being. But instead take a couple of sporty steps, for example a pair of stairs, or lift a quite heavy bag sportily to a chair and move a few stepos more, or the like. So that yoy have muscles in use and have a sporty active state of the body and mind, at least soemwhat such state. Such has gradually changing edges, like action ceasiung and not like though making a line to separate two things. Such isgood for calmness and self-control even if you sit. So do not sit overly long. More like pause in the middle of action. The physical action gives you content of mind so that yoy can be calm and satisfied for the time being.

Advices about opening theoretical view to zen kind of sensations

Some have a thought perspective that is educated and/or thoughtbut kind of stuck and not allowing sensations any wider than that, not like is the idea in enlightenment. Such is mainly a question of ways of doing, one should have more wisdom about them. One should try to do practical things in practical ways and in sporty ways instead of thought centered ways, even though one can have skills along and common sense too. One ought to practise sports that are chosen according to what you like and what has a positive effect on how you feel and how healthy you are, (and how big capacity and wisdom of life you have). You should do things only according to how much motivation you have for them, for example read only a short piece of news instead of going to a whole course in such. You ought to have several or many interests that you drown into and which's ways of doing & skills & talents you adopt, some of them your favourite areas of life like dream professions etc. You ought to pay attention to such differencies in ways of doing and in skills in social life too, so that you noticce when you get influence that isn't at all suited to what you like to do, and when you get influencues that fit well together with your own interests. Dream job, moving to live where you like the culture % main features like main professions and happening, favourite hobbies isnetad of the same as others, new fascinating social experiences, etc. help to be less stuck and more tuned to life.

An attempt at harmony between humans

Just some kind of harmony

Harmony born of oneself

I tried to compose such

Eurovision 2020 ? Harmony at the level of the world

20th of March 2020   I made this piece some month ago. Finland's Eurovision song for this year sounds quite much the same, it might be the same, but this is just a harmony of a choir, not the melody itself wqhich is some ordinary song like Christmas song for example.
https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/2020/02/cooperating-in-european-way.html

""A melody: peoples cooperating in European way

Thinking of peoples cooperating in Eiuropean ways, in harmony of individuals and cultures
Thinking of the Eurovision song contest brought this subject to my mind, aversion of singing in a choir.

"

26th of February 2020   I was thinking of åepåle living in harmony in a way that is reflected in singing in a choir, or learned from it, and thought of people from different continents singing, but I do not know what it affected that it was just a thought.
There are three parts in this: 10/4 theory, 8/4 practice and 8/4 ideals.
Was thinking of the harmony of the choir, not nedessarily of it's melody.Could it work out as chords accoimpment?

5th of March 2020 These three parts would beif I remember right: 1. rationally, 2. in practical chores, 3. ideals. I wrote also fourth part and it would be: 4. collecting these to living ordinarily. It is half-notes: E, A, F and C.


Tuesday 10th of March 2020   Finland's Eurovision song of 2020 was chosen last Saturday, I listened to it in the internet and it sounded quite much like this piece of mine, with the fourth part too, but of course it had words too and I do not know who composed it and how much similar it in fact was. My thought was that this piece is just a harmony, not the melody itself.

20th of March 2020
Here are the last notes too:

22th of March 2020   If I remember right, the beginning repeats the same because one starts to sing the harmony and another one obvserves "Aha such, I will sing something of the kind too", and so he/she is along but a little bit late in the beginning.

This is just some kind of harmony of a choir: something of rationality, of practical chores, of ideals that maybe brought them to Finland/Europe/watching Eurovision from tv. And then just collecting it to something ordinary but nice so that it is easier to live with.

Here is the npte without the repetition in the beginning:

A bird in a tree outside this apartment house I live in, asked for a similar harmony for birds, so I made thsi melody for them:

Climate information is important

Reading some English translation of the old Japanese poem by Basho
Old pond.
Frog jumps -
sound of water.
made me wonder if the translator had confused heat with having eaten a lot and fracturelessness and senses open with some kind of cynical realism and food. Those I guess are errors in estimating the climate the poem is from. And such errors are an obstacle on the way of learning wisdom of life. I guess that Asiasn would need to emphasize more information about the climate each text is from and how people live in such a climate and why so.

Good mood in social life

About work and enlightenment

I came to think of the Nepalese, who seem quite nasty and argumentative, yet somehow connected with Buddhism. What if someone in some situation withsuch a person or a young adult, would kind of give room for the wise theory perspective of the civiliced wisdom of the society and of the world and of Buddhism, and on the other hand momentarily kind of hold back from following urge & commands to find work just like a continuartion of sholl, running after money, without so much freedom, and command the yung adults for a moment to some healthy kind of labour like gardening work or sports hobby, that they first do not agree about because it isn't so single eyed as they were commanded, but when they start doing it, it is kind of wise and pleasant and healthy, and the difference in opinions makes them trust more their own wisdom of lifeand the wisdom of the wisse theory perspectives that are society's guide for happy rewarding life, freedom etc.
