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.
