Contemplation of the Mind – Practising Cittanupassana by Bhikku Khemavamsa is ‘hands on’ manual for those yogis who are interested in adding a new level to their Vipassana meditation work. Cittanupassana means the ‘Contemplation of the Consciousness’ as mentioned in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta. Often Cittanupassana is simply translated as ‘the watching of the mind.’
From the book:
Motivating mind is that mind-idea that arises as you are practising and makes you feel that you must attend immediately to some kind of job, before it’s too late, or because this is the best time, or before you forget and so on. It is is one of the most devastating weapons in the destructive mind’s arsenal. Very effective in dragging you right away from the practice. Can you feel its powerful force? You must be aware and take care of it as soon as you encounter it. Watch it until it disappears. Even when it seems to have gone at the back of the mind it is still there and it will come to the front again. You want it to go for good. (Back and front of the mind are just concepts). The easier and simpler you lifestyle is, the easier it is to keep your mindfulness. Mindfulness keeps your life simple and easy, you make less mistakes, in life and you suffer less. Meditating is knowing what is going on, being mindful. Not about trying to stop what is going on, or trying to have an experience that is not there.
