Hi, I am Jonny John Liu.

Today, let us talk a little bit about how to use Meditation to accelerate the process of Self-Transformation.

Now, there are many types of meditation techniques, but the most powerful ones are Vipassana types of Meditation.

These types of Meditation are simple to learn and practice.

These types of practices focuses on observing reality as is, so it is done without chanting, visualization, no music, no controlling the breath and so forth—a practice of simply observing and accepting reality as is, the reality that is happening on one's physical body, the reality that is happening within.

By focusing on both body and mind, one understands not only the true nature of the mind, but also the relationship between the mind and body.

This type of Meditation is one of the greatest for Self-Transformation.

When meditation practices involve visualization, chanting, controlling the breath, using music in the background etc., it can distort the truth of what one is really feeling and experiencing inside.

Now, let us talk about this type of practice of Meditation and how it can help us to develop the Knowing of The Self deeper and deeper.

So, the goal of such meditation techniques is not to relax the mind or to make one happy.

Such effects are simply secondary to the practice.

The primary goal is to develop Stillness and Self-Knowing.

And through developing Stillness, the secondary effects of Meditation such as relaxation and happiness will come!

Now, the journey of developing Stillness is a journey of Chaos because it is through overcoming the chaos that comes into the mind each time we experience them that Stillness can be developed even deeper. And it is by facing deeper chaos with the intention to Accept it as is, letting it come and go, that we can develop deeper Stillness and Acceptance.

Overcoming chaos is about pulling ourselves back from reacting or dwelling in our negativities, to not dwell in our attachments, our cravings, our wandering thoughts—To pull ourselves back into the state of Stillness and neutrality when we experience chaos, letting it come and go!

So, the first few times you practice such types of Meditation, the experience will be quite intense.

Because for the first time, you will become aware of how messy your mind is, and you won't know what to do with your thoughts. So, there will be a tendency to react to these thoughts by dwelling in the wandering thoughts that come into the mind, or to exaggerate them through the imagination.

It will take a few months or a few years to develop the knowledge of the difference between reacting and simply observing one's inner world.

At first, it will be difficult because one will not know the difference in such states. Thus, the only way to develop the knowledge is through practice and practice.

Through the practice, you will develop the ability to be Still, not only in the meditation practices but also in life.

Meditation will thus help you tremendously in life, as you will learn how to come out of your negativities quicker and quicker!

The more you develop the ability to be Still and Observant, letting the wandering thoughts come and go in your meditation sessions, the more you will penetrate into the deeper layers of the mind.

You will realize that, at the surface level of the mind, there will be thought patterns you have generated in the last few seconds or hours.

And as you let them go, you will find the thought patterns which you have been creating in the last few days.

Then like this, deeper and deeper, you will discover your habits, your way of thinking in the past months, in the past years, in your lifetimes.

This is when you will truly discover how you really think, how you really react.

This is when you will discover the reasons as to why you think and react in a certain way.

This is when you will discover the Negative Ideas that you have created, the Negative Ideas that you have become attached to all your life— the cause of your suffering.

And with deeper realization, you will realize that "Ahh i don't need this fear, I don't need this anger", and Self-Transformation will naturally happen.

With this enlightenment then you will slowly learn how to let them go.

Thus Meditation practices in the tradition of Vipassana are powerful when one knows how to use them for Self-Transformation.

So I suggest anyone take a course in Vipassana.

However the vipassana course can be quite intense as it will require one to meditate ten hours a day for ten days. So for those who want a more gradual course, you can take a course that I have created which is called the Creator's Meditation (in the Self-Transformation Course), which is gradually spread out into 22 days.

But for beginners, I would recommend you to take my free course, which is the 5 Present Breaths.

So, if you wish to use Meditation as a Catalyst, you can take the course to begin your journey right away!
