Meditation – Way to Transform your Life !!!
Thoughts….. Our mind is always full of thoughts. We keep on thinking one or the other thing. This thought process either cause us anxiety as we are thinking negative or leads to over confident illusions where we fail to see reality, leaving exhausted, losing peace of mind. Have you ever recognized these thoughts are sometimes leading you nowhere? Big mess in mind and no clarity.
Very well term “Meditation” is here for your rescue…..
“Ya ya Meditation, heard about it. Who has time for this???? I am so busy, going for work, looking after household stuff, kids, so stressed out, no time for pampering myself and you are talking about practicing meditation – really? Give me a break.” OK seriously you want to keep living same life or looking for change?
Well are you really not interested in living life having peace of mind, developing great personality, positive attitude, and clarity of thoughts???? Have you observed your mind when turbulent situation arises? Our emotions are on high and we tend to react impulsively. We are getting anxious and worry a lot, loaded with so many thoughts. This continuous bombardment of thoughts reduces our ability to think clearly and we often end up reacting to situation instead of responding. Uncontrollable thoughts drains away our energy and we feel exhausted. Neither we can order our mind to stop thinking nor we can demand.
But you can prepare your mind to calm, practicing meditation prepares mind to calm down effortlessly. It helps to release the stress, leaving your mind completely peaceful and fresh.

According to me, meditation can be done at time of the day as per your convenience. Prerequisite is a place where you can sit quietly and practice it and your stomach is not full else you can fall a sleep.
• Sit in a comfortable position (you can also lay down straight, however beginners please avoid as chances are high that you fall asleep)
• Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing – in and out. (This is one of the technique of meditation)
• You have to enter state of No thinking. You simply watch your thoughts, not getting involved in it; you remain conscious that you don’t think.
As soon as you will start meditating, thoughts will start to enter your mind, it stops only when you become more and more aware. Keep yourself alert, don’t get involve in thoughts. No thinking. Multiple times thoughts will try to enter your mind, be at peace and again focus. If you become really integrated in your awareness, thoughts will not enter; they will come and will bypass having no effect on you. Your mind becomes impenetrable citadel. Once you reach at this stage, your body will show you some movements. When body becomes deeply relaxed in meditation, muscles also relaxes and energies take control of your body. Don’t react or think, simply observe. If the movements don't disturb you, just let them happen without trying to manipulate them in any way. Just let them happen spontaneously on their own, not resisting them and not getting involved with them. In a sense, you can treat them like thoughts in meditation. On opening your eyes meditation comes to end.
One suggestion, when you get up from meditation – do not immediately check your mobile phone or rush to some other activity. Take a moment to stretch yourself, drink water, relax your body, just lay down on bed, etc. You will realize that your mind is at peace and very relaxed, leaving sweet smile on your face (I usually feel this).
Beginners don’t get upset if you are not getting immediate results, keep practicing. Soon you will able to meditate. To achieve something, you need to have confidence in yourself that you can do it. Yes tell yourself – “I can do it.”
Early morning time said to be best time to practice meditation before you start your daily chores (it gives energy to your body and helps to keep you active for rest of your day). Daily try to practice meditation for at least 20 minutes. Make it part of your routine. Preferably try to keep your meditation time same on daily basis as your body cycle gets habitual of it.

Meditation makes life more fulfilling because it helps you hear your heart’s yearning. When you are happy, you can complete even the most mundane of tasks in no time and are also able to find personal time to do things that define you. When you find fulfillment in life, it shows on your face, and in your personality. Meditation brings clarity to our thoughts, sharpens our intellect and helps us perceive situations without judgement. We are therefore able to express ourselves in a way that makes sense and able to make decisions on sound facts.
Our personality is an expression of who we are and not just how we look or appear. Meditation blossoms your personality; it brings out the best in you. When you meditate, you glow. That’s because you are able to delete stress from each cell’s memory and give your skin a direct boost of energy. When you look beautiful naturally, you tend to feel more confident about yourself, and that shows in the way you carry yourself. Needless to say, you will leave a mark in the minds and hearts of people around you.
Do yourself a favor, meditate. It’s a nutrition supplement for the Mind & Soul.
