In fact, the meditation is the subject for many thousand years before Buddha’s lifetime. In the Tripitaka have mentioned about this in some part of story that Buddha used to study this course with many bureaus with the best teachers in those days until his majesty have thorough knowledge and can perform with development beyond the existing. Meditations have big divided to unambitious meditation and concentration meditation. The unambitious meditation is to perform the concentration that realized by oneself by scrutinize in dharma side such as to consider for fifth group.
Meditation that Westerner practice is just unambitious meditation such as T.M. of great hermit is unambitious meditation unless it uses for recite the spell to control of mind. Nowadays subject of meditation has been reaching to Westerner increasingly. They take to treat the stress in daily life. Doctors and many hospitals in the United States recommend the patients take to do the same. Scientific evidence that the sitting in meditation can lower blood pressure and make up blood vessels healthy and sounded mind because the deep mental tranquility help to sedative brain wave and looks still over the brain waves of normally sleep. So, now weight controller claims that it has a positive effect of weight losing activity.
They teach the techniques for food control by start intend to breathe, in-out, falling, rising before eating should be breath in and out with consciousness, falling, rising for 5 times, as if of restrain hungriness. Be conscious and tasty over than hurry to eat and hurry to swallow.
At Massachusetts Medical Center that teach the patients to reduce stress and obesity by a technique has called Raisin Meditation by distributed 2 raisin to each student each tablet to take at least 5 minutes before eating each seed student must to ponder smell, colors and feel then thinking of where the raisins from?, since it is still on the vines and treatment by agriculturalist, harvest to select and dry out then sale or export. After clearly considerations then took it into the mouth feel and taste chewing slowly. While trying to chew it focused on every manner to know what is chewing and moving the tongue and try to make contacting with taste glands on the tongue thoroughly. After completing all taste, smell, touch and sound (chewing) then to swallow. While swallowed, just said to ourselves that "Now we have a weight increase of as raisin" eat raisins the first tablet of meditation process, then begin to eat the next raisin by the same process. If doing like this will eat more slowly the hunger would decrease or disappeared before you eat main meal too much. You may take this approach to try to do while eating rice salad because it contains of several ingredients and make us consider many matter such as coconut, rice, bean and sprouts.
To do meditation with eating like this makes people eat less but to get to know more flavor, more cheerful and join with inner strength habitually, it can surely reduce the weight.
In fact, they taught that meditation is something that can be done as all the time of mental because, when we concentrate to do something our mind will be absorbing in object that it was already concentrating meditation. The meditation is not only in a monastery or any hermitage. You may try to do in work place in the free time. Close your eyes and sit straightly by releasing muscles to relax and concentrated mind to breathe and tell yourself that every time rising, falling, breathing out and breathing in. Usually to do at first minds tends to wobble out of focus due to the fifth passion that are in sexual intercourse, in revenge, feel annoyed and frustrated, feel doubt and feel drowsy, but if return to be aware of oneself it concentrated back again if do often practice it will focus more certain. They recommended doings this 2 times a day 10-20 minutes each when we practiced a lot we will have the power in mind then can fight the basic passion, such as fight hunger.
