iMEDITATION

We should frequently go sit in nature and enjoy its great beauty. Also, we can enjoy our own garden if we have one in our homes. But with our own gardens we tend to find things that needs to be done before we can sit and enjoy. So we never get to rest. Don't try to make everything perfect and duties are never finished.  Letting be is having the courage to sit quietly and rest the mind in the midst of imperfection. Basically, letting-be meditation is simply the second stage of breath meditation, just silent awareness of the present moment.  It has to be silent, because to really let things be means you give no orders and have no complaints; you've got nothing to talk about. No inner commentaries about anything inside. Letting be happens in the present moment.  Whatever comes into your mind, the beautiful or the gross, you stand back and let it be, with no reactions at all. Just be with the symphony of nature happening and the natural beauty in front of you. Letting is the practice of equanimity. It is the the foundation for the breath meditation and metta meditation ( Stage 1-2 ).
