Meditation - Without an object.

My Teacher first explained to me, as allowing the mind to rest in a natural way "Naked Awareness, I had no idea what he was saying. How could my mind should "rest" if there is nothing on which it rests?
Fortunately, my teacher has traveled the world, met many people and was able to talk with them about their lives, challenges and successes. In fact, when you walk in Buddhist robes, surrounded by aides who are dressed the same way and take care of your basic needs, such as registering a hotel room or a cook, you have a great advantage. People tend to think that you are a wise and important man, and willingly opened to you from telling details of his life.
To explain a peaceful stay mad, my teacher used the example from the Valet, who has always enjoyed the end of the workday. His job was to eight o'clock to stand behind the counter, to record and write out the people who listen to their complaints about the condition of facilities and constantly argue with them about the amounts in their accounts. At the end of a shift employee is so physically tired that the only dream about how to go home and lie down in a bathtub. And after the bath he went into his bedroom, lay on the bed, sighing, and just relax. The next few hours belonged to him alone: not to stand at attention in uniforms, do not listen to complaints, not to look into the computer to confirm the reservation and find available rooms.
