The second meditation, is where u dont try to quiet ur mind. The job of mind is to think like hearts is to pump. So instead u make the mind think of something. And use a primordial sound like mantar. And this is faster than mindfulness to get bliss and easier. This is the simran in sikhi. With the mantar waheguru.

U should check her out. She explains how mefitation is better than mindfulness.

Its sad tho that we others r learning from our heritage though we r not.

No meditation or mindfulness is anything compared to Waheguru Simran and Bani. Guru Sahib gives proper Anand whereas these mediation techniques may just clear your mind for a while and that's it.

ਆਨੰਦੁਆਨੰਦੁਸਭੁਕੋਕਹੈਆਨੰਦੁਗੁਰੂਤੇਜਾਣਿਆ॥
Bliss, bliss - everyone talks of bliss; bliss is known only through the Guru.

ਜਾਣਿਆਆਨੰਦੁਸਦਾਗੁਰਤੇਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਕਰੇਪਿਆਰਿਆ॥
Eternal bliss in known only through the Guru, when the Beloved Lord grants His Grace.

ਕਰਿਕਿਰਪਾਕਿਲਵਿਖਕਟੇਗਿਆਨਅੰਜਨੁਸਾਰਿਆ॥
Granting His Grace, He cuts away our sins; He blesses us with the healing ointment of spiritual wisdom.

ਅੰਦਰਹੁਜਿਨਕਾਮੋਹੁਤੁਟਾਤਿਨਕਾਸਬਦੁਸਚੈਸਵਾਰਿਆ॥
Those who eradicate attachment from within themselves, are adorned with the Shabad, the Word of the True Lord.

ਕਹੈਨਾਨਕੁਏਹੁਅਨੰਦੁਹੈਆਨੰਦੁਗੁਰਤੇਜਾਣਿਆ॥੭॥
Says Nanak, this alone is bliss - bliss which is known through the Guru. ||7||

 Only through Guru Sahib can we get actual Anand.

After amritvela baniyan I like to just straight my back, close my eyes and just focus on my breathing. It’s no calming and peaceful. However if I don’t jap ‘vaheguru’ will it not count as meditation if so is it pointless to do it?

Do one thing, When you do your Nitnem. Focus on what you are reading.

And when you sit back and close your eyes, don't CHANT waheguru when you don't feel like it, rather relate the baani you read in your NITNEM to your daily life and see if you are actually looking Gurmat life or if you're just pretending like living it. 

Cuz only doing Nitnem is not Gurmat. Only Applying it to your life is Gurmat.

Hope that helps

    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
