Void meditation is a basic meditation with a lot to offer. Void meditation is the meditation where you calm your mind, and think of absolutely nothing. Though it sounds simple in nature it is actually quite complex. People spend years trying to quiet their minds to the perfect level, While teaching themselves willpower, control, focus, and intent. Sometimes there is nothing like being in a nice void meditation while you sit there, and just be.

1) Find a comfortable spot where you will not be disturbed. Make sure that you are wearing comfortable clothing. Sit, lay, or stand in your spot depending on your meditation preference. Here is where you also should center, ground, and use a protection method.

2) Now close your eyes, and think of nothing. This is not as easy as it sounds. I use the word “Nothing” to portray the idea of what you are to think of, but by explaining “Nothing” that would make it something thus defeating the intended purpose. You can’t think of anything. You can’t think of black space. You can’t think of white space. You can’t think of nothing. You just have to learn how to be, and stay in that space in order to fulfill this meditation. So don’t focus on nothing, focus on being. Much like how there is no thought going on in a rock, but the ladaqa is still present.

3) Once you are done slowly come back to the waking world. Open your eye, and uncast your protection method. Then go among your day.
