meditation to improve mood?
Namaste',
I feel that it would be beneficial to learn a meditative technique specifically for creating a positive feeling. A positive mood- even transitory- can be used to help spread positivity to others- personally at the rare times I do feel happy- I want to do things to make others happy, and I also notice I perform my enquiry into truth more vigorously.
The current technique I have been using is to use a mantra until the body and mind is fully relaxed. The mind is then only having the mantra slowly focused on. Then I am able to withold the comings and goings of thought for an estimated few seconds by using all attention to focus on being as is. Strenous, it can be peaceful, the only issue is trying to focus on being in a region that does not involve the body. Though I believe the next step is if a sensation is felt discard it.
