The meditation featured in Undo is called natural meditation. Simply put, this natural meditation is sitting still and feeling the sensations in your body. By feeling the feelings that are inside of you and letting them be without judgement or bias you release any accumulated stress and come to accept yourself exactly as you are, however you are. Burdened by misinformation and misguidance in today’s online world, being able to do so is not easy and that’s where Undo steps in to guide you in your journey.

This approach to meditation awakens you to a clear and common sense understanding of how you function, how your thoughts and feelings affect your health, your relationships and your ability to function adequately and effectively in all areas of life. Understanding all this is the basis for navigating your life effortlessly.

Natural meditation is not about a state of mind or something to attain. It’s about establishing a solid felt sense of yourself in the body. From this solid basis it is remarkable how well you are able to function in daily life.

Traditional approaches to meditation try to make you be something or someone other than what you are. Their ideas and goals of improving upon yourself simply reflect the superficial and narrow view that you are insufficient as you are. But that is their trap, and that is not what Undo is about. We aim to restore the unique individual that you are.

Mindfulness is a technique-based meditation practice derived from tradition. It is based in the Buddhist philosophy and is therefore also part of the Buddhist religious practice.

Before using mindfulness techniques in your meditation consider this: mindfulness is a technique of applying a thought process in an attempt at mimicking interconnectedness. Interconnectedness already exists organically as live sensations within our body, between our senses and the world around us. Mindfulness is thinking about what is already and only known through our senses. It’s essentially thinking about the obvious.

Once you apply mindfulness, you imply and imagine a disconnection and then set out to reconnect this imagined disconnection. It’s a thought-based process, which causes a division between the technique and whatever you apply it to or meditate on.

Techniques and mindfulness will never achieve what is already the natural function of you which is what natural meditation does.

The natural meditation used in Undo goes deeper beneath the superficiality of thinking into the felt sense of yourself in your body. There is no imaginary thought-based self as the meditator just the whole integrated sense of meditation.

This unique meditation is not religious, technique based or philosophical. It is not an idea or a product of beliefs or thought. It is a tangible, experiential, straight forward and a common-sense, discovery based understanding of how we function. It’s an understanding of how our thoughts and feelings affect our health, our relationships and our ability to function in all areas of life.

Undo natural meditation is an original approach and in sync with modern times. Traditional and technique meditations were invented thousands of years ago, our lives are very different now. An age-old approach to life now is impractical, they also prevent integration within yourself physically, and this inhibits the evolution of your individuality.

Mindfulness itself is derived from traditional, technique-based religion. It is part of the Buddhist philosophy. It’s essentially thinking about the obvious. The problem with technique-based approaches is that they are thought-based and with repetition become hypnotic, which removes you from the deeper living sense of you in the body and can cause a numbing disassociation, a state of superiority, detachment or aloofness.

Although mindfulness is an attempt to close the gap between what we think, feel and do in action, it’s practice actually keeps the idea that there is a gap, going. The solution is to understand that the gap is not really there. Also to try to close an imaginary gap, force is required to imagine you are closing the gap and this has effects. Mindfulness (like all techniques to meditate) is based in an incomplete understanding of it’s actual effects. This misunderstanding and unintentional cause of disassociating from raw reality of life is a tendency of all dogma and spirituality.

To go deeper, in your meditation you need to learn how to physically sense and feel your sense of being alive as you are, however that feels for you. Feeling your physical sense of self beneath the surface of your thinking is all natural meditation is. But it takes understanding to be able to do it.

The point at which the body and mind are interconnected is where and how the unresolved and unconscious becomes conscious and resolvable. When you’re just sitting there, physically still, feeling all that there is to feel beneath thinking, immersed in this depth in your body, is what enables recovery from the effects of life and makes you one. This fullness of sensing becomes your experience and thinking fades into insignificance. 

The only way to get depth is to go beneath any thinking (eg. Techniques and dogma) into the felt sensations within the body. It’s easy to do once you know how and we’ve had a lot of success from this approach, so we know that it works.

The common problem with other meditations is that they are technique-based approaches. That is, they are thought-based constructs, so they are removed from the real living experience of you. Used in repetition they become hypnotic like techniques such as mantra or chanting.

Other practises of altering your state through repetitive techniques are:

  • Yogic (Hindu) concentration techniques. By concentrating on a thing is to repeatedly think on it. Thereby you exaggerate, emotionalise or magnify feelings of joy, love, bliss, and nostalgia. In the same vein is the Buddhist technique to invoke loving kindness or compassion. The repetitious use of any word, phrase or idea is a hypnotic influential technique.
  • TM or ‘transcendental meditation’ which is commonly, an internal mantra, is again, the repetition of a word or phrase, to induce a different or altered state from your natural or true state. The more you use this the more you set up a divisional conflict between the real and natural state of you and your preference into the technique induced state. This increases your conflict with daily life and increases your attraction to your mantra. All techniques harbour this intention of achieving a changed state from the real or actual state of you as you are. That is their trap.
  • The Zen practice of labelling or noting, disconnects or removes you from the sensation you label into an unfeeling thought description of it. Labelling or noting is applied to assist in continuous sitting meditation and in not being overwhelmed by arising pain or disturbance. But the misunderstanding in this is that the overwhelment is not from or of the pain or disturbance itself but from one’s thought resistance to it. Labelling or noting results in not actually or directly feeling your pain or disturbances, because these techniques are a thought reaction to it which ultimately numbs you to it.
  • Similarly labelling or noting reduces felt sensations by describing them to yourself. This is an attempt to change the pain from how it is, and is actually a continuation of your struggle with pain and disturbances, so nothing changes. By enabling a change in your reaction to pain to occur naturally and discovering an accepting ease with it as it is, without reactions or descriptions of it, only then will you come to understand its significance, feel it as it is and heal it, integrating the whole of you.

Natural meditation is much like when you just feel the warm water in a relaxing hot bath without thinking about it. Techniques are becoming preoccupied with thinking about the relaxing feeling of your bath. So natural meditation is more like the soothing feeling of the bath before you start thinking about it.

Natural meditation is a lot deeper than another other type of meditation, and therefore can be challenging for some people. However the people who do stick with it, find it to be the most fulfilling and rewarding thing they ever do in their lives.
We have found that natural meditation tends to attract people who:

  • Are feeling dissatisfied or unfulfilled with life
  • Are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves
  • Need help with chronic or acute pain, trauma or illness
  • Are interested in meditation but don’t want any of the religious or spiritual dogma that goes along with it
  • Advanced meditators who are struggling with their current practice
  • Advanced meditators who want to deepen their meditation
  • Already meditate but aren’t satisfied

If you find you don’t relate to any of the above points that’s fine, we encourage you to take a look at Undo and try out natural meditation. You never know, it might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Natural meditation is not about a state of mind or trying to feel better or be better. It is about establishing a sold sense of yourself in your body on a daily basis. From this solid sense you will find you are able to navigate and live your life a lot more affectively.

Based on the down to earth, practical understanding of Undo you will learn how simple it is to take care of the essential aspects of your life that are crucial to your overall wellbeing. When you grasp this approach to yourself it is amazing how keen you are to apply it to your life, especially because it actually works. Once you comprehend it you will wonder why no one has ever taught you this before.

Undo’s natural meditation is very straightforward and makes complete sense. It’s very powerful and anyone can learn it quickly. All you need to do is sit physically still and just be with yourself as you are.

The difficulty that may arise is in you recognising when you are resisting or reacting to any aspect or sensation or pain in yourself. It requires understanding to stop trying to be different or to stop imposing expectations on what you are and that takes time to learn. But the more you experience the powerful benefits of this type of meditation the less you will resist yourself as you are and the more at ease you will be. You then begin to deepen your meditation and anchor your sense of self without even trying.

You can meditate at anytime of the day or night.

If you meditate in the morning you will find you are clearer for the upcoming day, you will settle into a sense of yourself that will help you deal with disturbances or problems throughout the day. By the end of the day you will be less affected and having been less distracted will also find you’ll have more energy too.

If you meditate at the end of the day you will be able to release any stress or disturbances accumulated from the day and it may also help you rest and sleep better.

If you can’t sleep at night it is good to sit up and meditate until you are tired and then you will more easily go to sleep.

Ideally in as quiet and comfortable place as you can find (nature is nice) but life isn’t always ideal. You can meditate in a public place, even if you are waiting for a train or bus it can still be a place to meditate. If you need to you can meditate at work, at your desk (removing any distractions) or in a room where you can be left alone.

You can meditate however you feel comfortable. Most people meditate cross-legged on a firm but soft cushion, mat or folded blanket, with a smaller cushion under their bottom. Depending on how flexible you are you may not need this. You can support your knees with more cushions if your legs aren’t flexible or you are uncomfortable. Be honest in your choices to ensure you are not avoiding feeling the pains or discomfort in your body.

If you can’t cross your legs then sit upright on a comfortable chair. Generally you should meditate with a fairly straight back, but don’t be too strict about holding yourself tight or rigid.

You can also kneel to meditate. Kneel on a carpet, rug or large cushion, place a small supportively dense cushion under your bottom and sit back with your feet angled out so they are not under the bulk of your weight. Sit upright and place your hands in a position that is comfortable for you.

You can meditate whilst lying down but at the start your meditation won’t be as deep. It is easy to fall asleep if you are tired and lying down so we suggest you sit up in a self-supported position. Then whatever accumulations or stresses you are holding more easily activate and release from within you.

It is not necessary to have your palms facing up or your fingers and thumb in a mudra position. Place your hands on your knees or lap or wherever they are comfortable.

Then close your eyes and feel your body. Don’t try to stop your thinking, you won’t, just let your thoughts go on in the background like a buzzing mosquito not paying them any special attention.

As often as you like. We suggest everyday, and most people who notice the improvements meditation makes to their life want to make time to meditate. They will usually sit first thing in the morning before daily activity begins to prepare them for the day or last thing at night to wind down and digest the day and then they go to sleep more easily and sleep more deeply.

Meditation gives you a chance to slow down enough to actually feel the sense of yourself fully, exactly as you are in that moment, on that day. So take whatever time it takes, however long it takes you to get back to the deeper sense of you. The longer you sit the more in tune you will be with yourself. It’s better to sit every day for less time than longer and less often.

If you are a beginner try starting with 15 minutes, then progress onto 30, 45 and 60 minutes. If you find yourself wanting to meditate for longer on some days then do so.

Breathe normally. There is no special way to breathe or no need to focus on your breath, but please breathe otherwise you will die and if they find out you died whilst Undoing then we might be in trouble.

We advise against it. Natural meditation is about coming back to the feeling of you in the body and just staying with that, however that feels in that moment without any distraction.

When you’re just staying with these feelings, you are enabling yourself to resolve and dissolve them. This allows you to release any tensions or stresses that have built up in your body. However music will distract you from these feelings inside your body. It doesn’t allow you to just be quiet with yourself in that moment or just allow yourself to really feel and so therefore heal whatever it is you’re going through.

Generally meditation is done with eyes closed but sometimes it feels right to have your eyes open whilst you are meditating. If you can have your eyes open and not be distracted by thinking about what your eyes see then that is fine. Keeping your eyes open when sleepy or fatigued can help you stay alert but once you can really feel your fatigue you won’t tend to lose focus and will find relief in feeling it.

Absolutely. In fact we encourage you to do this once you feel confident enough. We also encourage you to go with how you’re feeling each day, sometimes you will want to use guidance and some days you will not.

You should meditate because you want to. Once you begin to see and understand the changes and benefits meditations brings to your life, you will find you are naturally drawn to meditate each day.

Pain arising during natural meditation is common and normal. Don’t worry or panic, this pain is healing pain. It is not harming you in any way. Any form of pain that arises when meditating, is an expression of what’s buried deep within your body.⁠
⁠
A lot of the traumatic experiences we have in life (whether they are big or small) can leave an effect within our body if they are not fully healed.⁠ When we sit physically still, as we do during meditation, we are allowing those experiences to reveal themselves. And each experience may express itself as different pains throughout your body.⁠ Just stay physically still with these feelings, and don’t try to work out what they are, where they came from or try to get rid of them. They are healing you, not harming you.⁠ They will resolve in their own time, if you give them the time to heal in meditation.⁠

All types of feelings will arise in you during your meditation, and they won’t always be the same feelings each time you meditate. These feelings may be related to whatever you are healing from past or present traumas and pains, or what you are processing in your life and meditation that day.

The key is to not react to these feelings, if you do this it will blow them out of perspective. Instead just simply be with how you are feeling, let any thoughts about these feelings fade into the background and just feel. As you feel these feelings without reaction, they will resolve. Once you get use to just feelings these feelings, any fear or resistance you have to feeling them will drop away and you will begin to know more about yourself than ever before. This is quite a nice feeling actually.

Once you have an understanding of natural meditation you will realise that your thoughts are not actually a problem. They are usually just the off-gassing of whatever you a processing in meditation that day. Focusing on trying to get rid of them, or getting annoyed at yourself for thinking is just getting caught up in the thoughts. Instead, just come back to the feeling behind the thoughts and staying with that, allow your thoughts to fade into the background. If you find yourself getting caught up in them again that’s fine, just come back again to the feeling.

If you find yourself getting distracted during your meditation it’s more than likely something you’re processing. Whatever your distraction is, it’s actually part of your meditation process for that day. So allow itt to go on whilst you include and sink further into the physical sensations in your body.

The more you meditate and attune to yourself this way the more you will begin to notice how on different days you feel different sensations. Distraction is just a mental action to keep you from the deeper feelings behind that.

Depending on what you’re going through that day or what is processing inside of you, will determine your desire to mediate. On the days you find yourself not wanting to meditate, this is when it is important for you to sit still and meditate, even if it is just for 30 minutes to burn through the resistance.

Most of the time the resistance will be a disturbance you don’t want to feel or get in touch with. The habitual response to a disturbance is to avoid it, but by not taking any notice of your resistant thoughts and still meditating whilst you’re disturbed, will make you feel better in yourself regardless of the disturbance going on. Meditating while you’re disturbed will allow the disturbance to burn out much more quickly than if you try to avoid the feeling. Meditation in this approach is healing you not harming you.

If you can’t sit still during your meditation, this can indicate that you are too shallow and caught in the thought-based surface of yourself. Come back to your body and feel the area that wants to move. Just feel it and don’t move and this will take you deeper into yourself. If you do move don’t worry, just keep coming back to the urge as many times as you need to and eventually feeling the urge to move will burn it out.

Usually you are just tired, but quite often your tiredness can be an avoidance of the pain.

However, tiredness is a feeling and just like any feeling it can be felt while meditating. You can meditate and feel the feeling of tiredness wherever it is in your body. Best to do this while you are sitting up and if it helps keep your eyes open. 

When you meditate it is a good idea to remove any distractions around you like music, TV, devices or other people. It’s not always necessary and you can meditate with distraction in the background, just allow these distractions to become part of your meditation. But if you can find a quiet place it will allow your meditation to deepen.

If you do get interrupted, don’t react and stress out about it, it is not a problem, simply resume your meditation from where you left off.

Natural meditation is very helpful for people who have a mental illness. Undo’s approach to meditation is very simple and effective and we see the body and the mind as the same thing.

With our approach you will notice many changes in your mental and physical illness and pain, some of them will be rapid. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable with the changes going on in your meditation try to stay with those feelings. These feelings will not be harming you in any way. These feelings will pass, but may take some time depending on how deeply they are lodged in your body. If it becomes too difficult then stop meditating for a while and get back to it later.

There are many things in our lives that we can distract ourselves with and technology is just one of them. It is no more distracting or harmful than anything else. It all depends on how and why you use it. If you let technology distract you or use it to avoid reality then it will have a destructive effect in your life.

However, you can also use it beneficially. You have a choice if you do or do not want to be distracted. It is your choice how or when you use it.

You can minimize any ongoing opposing effect by removing all other incoming distractions. When you give yourself the time and space to meditate turn off all other notifications, noises and distractions on your device. Make it your personal time and make your device fit with that.

The use of technology won’t oppose what you are wanting to get from meditation if you simply see it for what it is… the transference of information.

The benefits of meditation are vast… and they unique to every individual.

You will notice and feel the changes within yourself when you star natural meditation. You don’t need a scientist or so-called expert to analyse or explain how or why those changes have happened, you will feel them and know them, for and from yourself.

Common benefits, apart from your thinking being more clear and sharp. You’ll recover a new sense of wellbeing. Natural meditation helps you return to a more natural state, reconnects you with reality as it is rather than how it seems when you are under influences. This understanding causes you to approach your life very differently, it helps you resolve your stress rather than push it aside and accumulate it internally.

Your ability to deal and respond to your life problems, release their effects and move on with your life will amaze you and others.

Your body’s capacity for healing both minor and major illness, injuries, ward off allergies and stabilise the ongoing effects of our modern environment will improve massively.

This following list is not exhaustive as every person is individual but it covers some of the benefits of regular meditation:

  • Less anxiety
  • Less stress
  • Less reaction to life
  • No depression
  • Less insomnia
  • Less addictions
  • More focus
  • Less physical illness
  • Less physical pain
  • Less confusion
  • Better decision making
  • More power and energy for life
  • More creativity
  • More confidence
  • More productivity
  • And more mojo…
  • And the best one…less wrinkles!

The approach is based on Matthew Zoltan’s – Undo’s author. Developed over 35+ years of working with 1000s of people, helping them discover natural meditation and helping them develop their skills for a successful life, to heal physically and mentally. Through this process Matthew discovered an approach to life that is based on the physical sensory experience of every human body and is therefore addresses all common human needs.
