The Why of Meditation

Be good and do good for a decent living. But for a much better living with a vision, mission and ultimate fulfillment, one must practise meditation daily. Meditation enables one to delve deeper within one’s true self and it widens the expanding horizon of consciousness. If one wants to live life with proactive fulfilment and constant ecstasy, then one must practise mediation. Once one learns the basics of mediation, it becomes easy and the more we meditate the more we would like to meditate.

The process involves awareness, affirmation, prayer, relaxation, visualisation and intuitive attunement with the core of cosmos within and outside our own self. We need to prepare our own process sheet for better adherence to the same. Let us sit down with spine erect, chest out, abdomen in and chin parallel to the ground to develop the essentials.

Awareness is the key. It is the beginning, middle and end of meditation. It can be developed by paying keen attention to the incoming and outgoing breath without any regulation or control.
