Meditation
|
|
Meditation is an ancient
technique to revive your weary soul and help you
deal effectively with stress, and helps you
rediscover a sense of profound peace and inner
calmness.
Meditation is a state of consciousness that can be
understood only on a direct, intuitive level.
|
|
|
Ordinary experiences are
limited by time, space, and the laws of causality,
but the meditative state transcends all
boundaries.
Meditation is a natural state
of consciousness that isn't learned, any more than
one learns to sleep. When the mind becomes
one-pointed and steady, it will naturally go
beyond the normal mundane awareness into the state
referred to as Meditation.

How to Meditate ?
|
|
|
Please sit down comfortably, spine
erect, head straight. Hands on the top of the knees or in
the lap, wherever comfortable. Eyes closed. For a few
moments become aware of the whole body from the top of the
head to the toes. Experience open space within the body.
Imagine the whole body to be in the form of flame. First
see the symbol of the flame in front of the closed eyes;
see the flame in chidakasha.
|
|
Gradually experience the radiating
light of the flame spreading throughout the body,
purifying the body, illuminating each and every part of
the body. The whole body becomes one with the light. Each
and every cell of the body becomes one with the light.
There is no part of the physical body where darkness can
exist. Each and every cell of the body is infused with the
light. Experience the whole body in the form of pure
light.
At first this is a process of
imagination, but with concentration, the feeling develops.
The body then responds to that feeling and one can
actually see the radiance internally. Try to experience
and feel that radiance now within yourself. See yourself
filled with light internally and surrounded by light
externally. Continue to observe yourself in the form of
light and mentally repeat the mantra OM with every
inhalation and exhalation. With total awareness repeat the
mantra internally. Do not miss a single breath and repeat
the mantra OM with every inhalation and exhalation. Merge
yourself completely in the repetition of the mantra and
the experience of light within. Now inhale deeply and
chant OM three times.
