Even if you are focusing on a chakra, you don't want to do that for the whole period of meditation. There should be a point where you let go. Settle down. Get off the train of thought for a while.

More quotes by Frederick Lenz
Sometimes people start to meditate and they get a headache. It's because they're trying too hard. You're pulling in too much energy.
Frederick Lenz
Any area you slough off in your life will reflect in your meditation. Be happy when you could be depressed. Push jealous, fear, and anger out of your mind. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Alow immortality to work through you. Be but a mere instrument. And that instrument should be so absorbed in the perfect perfection of existence, that it knows not even that it is absorbed.
Frederick Lenz
Behind the transient reality, there is something else. It is a deeper, more permanent and unchanging reality that we Buddhists call nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
A teacher can show you the ways. But no one can do it for you. You have to take what you learn from them and go out and live it. You have to change your life.
Frederick Lenz
I can't give you happiness. I can show you where it is, but I can't give it to you. How can I give you what you already have? You have to get it yourself, inside your mind.
Frederick Lenz
It wasn't until after living in California for many years that I realized that you don't believe what anybody says, ever. Whatever they say, they're just making a movie - they just like the way they sound.
Frederick Lenz
Enlightenment doesn't simply mean being in heavenly states of mind. It doesn't mean being a saint.
Frederick Lenz
Occasionally in my travels I meet people who have pushed too far into the nagual. These individuals are not too balanced but they have made great journeys in the unknown.
Frederick Lenz
So, those who hate, those who are violent in nature, live in a world of hate and fear and violence inside themselves, inside their minds, inside their awareness.
Frederick Lenz
Meditation is not for everybody. When you meditate you become conscious. Most people don't want to be too conscious because they are afraid of awareness, of death, and of being happy.
Frederick Lenz
If you are going to set out to develop mystical powers to impress your friends and do other things to your enemies, the difficulty with it is that you will not be moving towards enlightenment.
Frederick Lenz
What does God really look like stripped naked? That's the province of enlightenment...the formless, perfect face of existence.
Frederick Lenz
Any of the exercises that you start out with will get the kundalini moving. You don't have to stay with them for the entire period of meditation.
Frederick Lenz
The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
Frederick Lenz
The outer form of Buddhism, of practice, is etiquette - a series of ways to live intelligently that keep you alive, awake and happy, wakeful.
Frederick Lenz
They presented a description of the world to all of us which was very limited and narrow.
Frederick Lenz
The bully on the block who beats up somebody doesn't become more powerful. All they do is walk around inside their own mind with an inflated ego.
Frederick Lenz
As spirits we have always existed in a generalized form, since we are all part of the universe. As individual spirits, we have existed for a timeless time.
Frederick Lenz
Reason is a terrible trap because you will be satisfied with answers. And if you are satisfied with answers, you'll never come to know what life really is.
Frederick Lenz
