invite you to see what it is like to let your eyelids drop down, while keeping GAAWO gently engaged. Do it now and see what it is like. You may find that the experience between open- and closed-eye GAAWO is very similar. Yes, you might not have external objects to notice in your peripheral vision.But nonetheless, by having the intention to be gently alert with your attention wide open with your eyes closed, you will find that your mind is more still and quiet.
Every Calm Sitting - which is the term we use for the more traditional closed-eye sitting meditation - starts with closing your eyes and engaging GAAWO. You are encouraged to âhang outâ in GAAWO for a while, to practise being consciously aware and become more intimate with the calm context of this moment. Then, after a little while (Iâm not going to tell you how long because you might start timing it), gently think a Calm Thought.
THE 10 CALM THOUGHTS
Calm Thoughts are ones that you are given to intentionally think during open- and closed-eye Mind Calm meditation. They can help you to bring very appealing states of being into your conscious living experience, such as peace, love and clarity, to name only three of the 10 states covered in Mind Calm . Even if you might not believe it yet, you are already connected, powerful, joyful, peace-filled, love and one with everything in the cosmos. You are all of these stunning states of being and more. However, if you havenât been experiencing them then it means theyâve become buried under your busy mind. These states are like seeds in the soil and using the Calm Thoughts gives them a chance to break through the surface to become visible once again.
Calm Thoughts are unique and bring these states of being into your conscious living experience because of the following three components that make them up:
OM + Positive Intention + Focus Point
Component 1: OM
âOMâ (sometimes spelled âAUMâ) is a well-known and widely used word from Sanskrit, an ancient language of consciousness. One of the facets of Sanskrit that makes it so conscious is that it is a vibrational language. This means Sanskrit shares the vibrational experience of the meaning of the words you are thinking or speaking. Quite remarkably, when using Sanskrit you automatically align your attention with the vibrational frequency of the words you are thinking or saying. This can be very powerful. Especially when you appreciate just how much of the universe is impacted by and connected via vibration.
â Everything in life is vibration. â

Modern science has found what the ancient mystics knew all along: everything in the physical world is vibrating at a range of frequencies that enables them to maintain their individual physical forms. Quantum physicists have said that when you delve down to the subatomic particle level and beyond to even tinier levels, all you find is light potentials coming in and out of existence. Wow! At the quantum level, everything is vibrating at frequencies, which, as you return to viewing them with the naked eye, end up being a tree, a chair, a pen or the book in your hands.
At the subatomic level, which is beyond what can be seen, heard or touched by your senses, even your body is vibrating at a range of frequencies that ends up being your skin, muscles, bones, brain and all of the organs that are doing their magic right now. But what makes this even more miraculous is how beyond the blatant componentsof your physical body, your thoughts and emotions are also vibrating and creating a ripple effect throughout not only your body but the entire universe, too. Wow, again! Sounds cool, but what does all of this have to do with OM?
At the base level of everything in physical, mental and emotional existence is one root vibration. You will never guess what that vibration is⦠Yes, you guessed right, OM! Although more recently, scientists have referred to this root vibration in
