During meditation we settle down and quieten the mind to become aware of two forces: concentration and emanation (or relaxation). Concentration is a focus in the dantien: a slight tightness in the belly that draws energy and strength into that region so that it can support the rest of the relaxed body above it. If you find your posture slumping or the head craning forward then you need more concentration. Note that this concentration is more physical than mental. Relaxation is the heart and head doing what God intended: emanating compassion and consciousness into the world. In this system the mind has a physical component: that part focused on the dantien, and a loving component: that part emanating from the upper centres. Thinking – the minds psychosis – doesn't have a place.
