Many famous people already know that meditation can improve quality of life & they already practice it!
Oprah Winfrey:
“It’s a heightened state of being that lets whatever you’re doing be your best life, from moment to astonishing moment.”
Russell Simmons:
“You can’t serve the world unless you take care of yourself first. I find time for meditation every day.”
In fact, we are very lucky to have at our disposal such powerful tools to manage our lives.
But we know very little about how they affect us & how to choose right practice for ourselves.
In Sutras (ancient yoga books), Asanas & Pranayamas are considered to be preparatory exercises for Meditation (Dhyana & Dharana). That’s why they always go together & breathing exercises are practiced before the next step.
So WHAT IS MEDITATION?
- Meditation is a practice, where an individual uses a technique such as focusing mind on a particular object, thought or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state (Wikepedia);
- Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment. And eventually, you may start to better understand them.
WHY do we need to meditate?
- We all have our own ways of feeling happy – traveling, food, music, shopping, communication,work…All these sources are limited & conditional. Meditation helps us to train our consciousness & feel unconditionally happy.
