From The Living Avatar Paramahamsa Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam Satsangs & Books
Ask yourself, ‘Are you there?’
As soon as you consciously ask yourself this, the thinking will stop. Now, reply to your question, ‘yes.’ It will directly bring your awareness to the present!
You can try this particularly before going to sleep. Otherwise, anytime and any number of times is okay

Relax from any tension. Feel love for anything that you do. Be aware of your day-to-day actions every minute. Be consciously relaxed whatever you may be doing. Consciously relax from any tension that you hold in any part of the body.
Accept yourself just as you are. Accept and welcome every moment for the gift of life it has brought you.
Whatever you are doing, do it with love and joy. Be total and authentic in whatever you do and feel. The very quality of your ‘being’ and ‘doing’ will change.

This meditation is drawn from Zen. The Zen word ‘zazen’ means ‘just sitting’. The most difficult thing is to just sit, doing nothing! Your mind will come up with all kinds of arguments, reasons, or excuses for not doing this technique.
It will try to convince you that it is a sheer waste of time. If you persist, the mind will become sleepy, it will daydream, it may even start hallucinating. Read More
Normally we don’t chew and eat food, we just gulp it down our throats. We hardly taste the food.
Now whenever you eat, eat with awareness. Taste it completely. Become the taste.
When you really feel the sweetness of the food, you can feel it not only in the mouth but also in your entire body.
While drinking water, feel the coolness of the water as it goes down your throat and into your stomach. Close your eyes and drink it slowly, enjoying every sip. Feel the coolness intensely, not only in the mouth but also in the entire body.

Close your eyes. Take a few moments to settle down, being very patient.
You are going to consciously practice awareness. First, start with the chair you are sitting on because it is the nearest object to you. Visualize you are alive inside the chair. Feel you are alive inside the chair you are sitting on in the same way you feel alive inside your own skin. However much you feel alive inside your skin, feel that alive inside the chair. The same life is radiating in the chair that is radiating inside your skin. Read More
Understand the change that is happening and consume the change through the change. You will find the ultimate unchanging consciousness.
You are constantly changing eternal energy. Let you consume the constantly changing external world. Let the changing internal world swallow the changing external world. Let the chaos swallow the chaos. Let the chaos be covered by chaos. Let the chaos be filled by chaos. Become centered in the peaceful, deep, restful awareness. Read More
Whenever you are stuck with some emotional memory, sit with it and meditate on it, consciously going into it. Whether it is fear or love or greed, go fully into it. Slowly, your inner space will be disconnected, purified from that emotional memory. As long as there is any energy or charge attached to that memory, continue to meditate on it. You will soon go beyond the memory and enter your inner space.
When you reclaim your inner space, you will be able to fall in love with the Whole, your heart will melt effortlessly. If you practice this a few times, you will see the Truth.
