What is Boredom?

Boredom is a feeling, a thought that COMES & THEN IT GOES. AWARENESS JUST IS. People always feel they need to FIX boredom or sadness or anger or whatever. 

It's not necessary to FIX ANYTHING. 

All you ever have to do is relax...just relax. If you don't like the feeling, you get up and do something. There is ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO. Boredom is a little low prana, a certain "experience", just like any other. WE don't mind our experiences, we have them and they are pretty much equal. Happy, sad, ecstatic, crying, up/down WHATEVER. THESE EXPERIENCES ARE NO BIG DEAL.

Boredom is nothing to get in a twist about. It's JUST ANOTHER EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAVE and you can feel fine about. NO reason to think about it, or go into reasons of why, OR to feel any guilt about it or to even want to change it!!!! WE JUST MOVE ALONG from moment to moment AS IT SHOWS UP! and WE ARE HAPPY! 

You wanna change it, great...change it! Great! Get a job or get a girlfriend. Get a dog or a tv, life continues and changes constantly...no worries, no blame, no shame. Moment to moment.

Meditation can be extremely boring, unless you're wearing bunny ears. Bunnies do not get bored! If you have a tendency to get bored BUY SOME BUNNY EARS!

I like to say, "if you're bored, you must be boring."

For some that may be true - but for many it's the contrary, it's kinda the opposite...bored people are many times pitta or vatta types - they need a lot of stimulation to keep them interested...but they themselves? Well they're usually interesting, eccentric too, a little fussy, reflective & energetic...they're not depressed, they're just bored, but not for long...feed them, head them in a direction and OFFFFFFFFFF they go again....

The guru says you are supremely fortunate if you have boredom....its only humans that get bored...cows and animals do the same thing again and again and are never bored...when we are bored .. then we look for something more...something higher in life....
