Here is that monk's meditation practice

Here is a 10 min Youtube from that monk who said U can drive your self insane , meditating.

(2:34) - ... So, in these videos it is important to understand that sometimes during the meditation it may not feel peaceful and calm. Sometimes, the meditation is dealing with the very deep unpleasant states that exist in our mind.

States of stress
States of worry
States of anger
States of addiction, and so on. (...)

(4:00) - And the way we do this is, we use an ancient technique which is called Mantra. (...) But instead of focusing the mind on some out-of-the-ordinary word (mantra), we are going to focus on an ordinary word (mantra). (that will help us focus) on the reality around us as we experience it.

(4:28) - ... we'll be using a mantra, a word for the experience, which brings the mind to focuss, to clearly experience that phenomenon, as it arises.

In the last five minutes of this YouTube he explaine the meditation.

The above is from his 1st of 3 "How to meditate" 10 minute YouTube's. But at the bottom of this post I'll link his 2nd becaues it explains the "How-to"

But, basically

When I'm sitting I say to myself, "sitting, ... sitting, ... sitting.
When I'm standing I say to myself, "standing, ... standing, ... standing.
When I'm walking I say to myself, "walking, ... walking, ... walking.

If my mind wanders I say thinking, ... thinking, ... thinking. This mantra stops me getting involved with my thinking and soon the thinking stops (for a while).

If I get bored with the practice I say to myself, boring, ... boring, ...
If I get frustrated at the practice I say to myself, frustrated, frustrated
If I get peaceful or blissful or happy then I say to myself peaceful peaceful peaceful and so on.

Basically I'm not to get carried away with "liking" or "dis-liking" any feeling I get. And by simply saying the corresponding "mantra" the mind soon disengages from "liking and disliking" leaving only reality.

Buddha said that only the senses are real. But my liking or disliking what I sense causes the delusion of the "self" the "me".

To dissolve that delusion I need to practice letting go of liking and disliking every thing I sense. He said that sound is just sound, seeing is just seeing.

Here is the monks second YouTube on his meditation practice. He gets right down to the practice.

I don't think there is any danger in this meditation practice.
