Meditation

                                              Meditation

What we people mean by meditation in our modern times is, not the meditation that is a prelude to ‘Samadhi’ that only great ‘Rishis’ can achieve. It means sitting calm in a particular place shutting off from all external distractions. The place may be a small room in your house, your private room in the office or a corner of your garden covered by lush green grass. Sit there in Padmasana or Sukhasana and start doing closing your eyes. Just focus on your breath. Or you can recite a mantra like’ OM NAMA SHIVAYA” with you full concentration on it. Concentrating on a visual object is yet another way. At times for the beginners the mind may struggle out and go to other things. Bring it forcibly back to your target. Do meditation in the morning just before sunrise. That is the ideal time. But you can do it at any time. There is no such time specification for meditation. You can do it for 10 minutes, half-an-hour or 1 hour; but once you allot a particular time and period, it is better to keep that every day.

Playing a soothing music while doing meditation is quite good.
