Abstract

The chapter investigates meditation as a state of consciousness that isolates an individual from the attitude of everyday life and the perspective of practical actions. It is a contemplative analysis of the process of minding during meditation. The paper analyzes self-reports from meditators’ self-observations as part of hatha yoga practice and data from semi-structured interviews with hatha yoga teachers. Elements that disturb and/or help people to meditate were analyzed and interpreted. The features of the meditative state during the practice of sitting meditation are also reconstructed. Attention is paid to three essential aspects that are related to each other when leaving the working life and entering the meditative state by beginners: emerging thoughts, body sensations, and emotions. The analysis focuses on how practitioners deal with these obstacles to enter the meditation state of mind; what tactics do they employ to eliminate barriers or redirect attention and include them in the background of the concentration point? What is the role of teaching meditation? What are the effects of meditation from a practitioner’s point of view?

Empirical materials obtained from the first-person perspective of the researcher, the author of this text, and his collaborators in the study were also analyzed.
