Once Lord Buddha was asked: “What have you gained from
Meditation?” He replied: “Nothing.” “However”, Buddha said, “let me tell you
what I lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old, Age, and
Death.”
Lord Gautam Buddha is said to be the father of meditation. It is said that Lord Buddha with the power of meditation remembered his past seven lives, although we do not have any evidence to prove it. However because of him and his followers, the knowledge of "Practicing Meditation" has reached different parts of the world.

Why one should do meditation?
The mind is the most powerful powerhouse we have, but our
mind is distracted with too many things like positive/negative people, different thoughts, our own ego, work stress, competition, etc. all this at the cost of our
happiness and peace.
Doing hard work to earn money, and buying luxury goods will
only provide happiness to our body and not the soul. Human beings are never
satisfied with whatever they have, our greed keeps on growing to earn more
money and have more luxurious things.
However, Meditation has the ability to
calm down the entire body and bring all the processes under control, Even a
mere 5 minutes of focused meditation, can help heal a lot of emotional issues,
disorders like anxiety and depression are also controlled through it.

What is Meditation?
"Meditation is a process of finding inner peace"
Meditation is a powerful yet effortless technique that
allows the conscious mind to experience the silent depths of its own nature.
Meditation is an exercise to connect with self. Meditation is not any act
however it is a state of mind where there are no thoughts and the mind is
completely still and hence clear in perception.
Meditation simply means awareness, "Watching your
breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as
these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is
effective meditation.
Who I am, what is the purpose of my life, why I am here,
all this question can be answered through practicing meditation.
The word meditation is derived from two Latin words:
meditari(to think, to dwell upon, to exercise the mind) and mederi (to heal).
Its Sanskrit derivation 'medha' means wisdom.
Meditation cannot be done with a goal in mind, It is not
an act or something we do for some time in a day.
One needs to sit down with eyes
closed and empty the mind to attain inner peace and relaxation.

| How To Meditate |
Types of Meditation?
Our ancient Teachers have taught 112 way of meditation
techniques, below are the two common use technique.
CONCENTRATION MEDITATION (Trataka or "RajYog Meditation) -This is a highly
recommended technique of meditation, the method involves focusing on a single
dot, staring at a candle flame, or a single image. Watch it for 10 minutes,
ideally you should don't blink while watching the candle. It is hard to not
blink- at first tears will start rolling down your cheeks if you try to keep
your eyes open without blinking but with practice your eyes will become used to
this practice.
You must not allow your mind to think about anything except
that point. If you’re focusing on a flame, you must reflect on the appearance
of the flame and be aware of it, and avoid any unnecessary thoughts. It is
effective if a person does this ten minutes every day, but for better results,
you must try to increase your concentration span periodically.
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION (Close eye Meditation) - Just sit relaxed, closed your eyes, and concentrate on your breathing. This method is for the abstract
minded. Instead of an external source or word, simply watch the thoughts that
pass through your head. The key is to not think too deeply about these thoughts
or shift to memories. Do not judge these thoughts. Simply watch them. Having a
detached view of your own thoughts is a remarkably effective way to develop
self alertness.

When to practice Meditation?
Meditation can be practice
anytime & anywhere. There is no time table. But it will be more effective
if you practice it in the early morning because at that time the frequency of
your thought is low.
You can also do it before going to sleep it will lead your
whole night into a MEDITATED sleep.
Early days you will find it as boring. But
the day after at least 21 days you will find it very interesting and you will
get the results also.
Do not try to stop your thought. Just have a watch on
your breath. As your mind thought about another thing again have a watch on
your breath. After some days there will be a state where your mind will not
create any thought and you will be in a MEDITATED state. At that time you can
visualize something that you want & definitely it will manifest. You can
have an inner journey also.
