Thoughts are natural to us
just as our eyesight, our hearing
What is a mind without thoughts?
But through meditation we would like to train our mind
use its ability of thinking,
so that this thinking can be heightened to a creative level.
Decades of rigorous scientific research
have addressed and endorsed the benefits of daily meditation
for physical and emotional well being.
So, I will not lecture you and bore you on why you must meditate.
What we are interested in is how to meditate
so that we feel its benefits and are encouraged to meditate more.
You must have meditated
where there was no Transmission perhaps.
Now, you try and meditate with Transmission
In Sanskrit, this Transmission is known as pranahuti.
Experience this pranahuti or transmission
during this Heartfulness meditation and see it for yourself.
Let me mention further also about certain aspects of this meditation
Often people have confusion
whether to start meditation or not Because often
we try meditating on our own and we get discouraged because of
lots of thoughts during meditation
The moment we close our eyes,
this rush of thoughts prevents us from meditation
We see our inability
Thoughts are natural to us, just as our eyesight, our hearing.
What is our mind without thoughts?
But through meditation, we would like to train our mind
use its ability of thinking
so that this thinking can be heightened to a creative level.
Whenever thoughts do arise in our mind
we just have to simply remind ourselves that, “I am meditating”.
Whatever the thought be
if we pay attention to it,
it will draw our own energy and thrive
You have to remain unmindful of these thoughts,
whatever they may be?
As we learn how to meditate
thoughts, thus, will not bother us
They will simply pass like clouds in the sky.
Maybe you have tons of thoughts.
It is okay,
you have thoughts during meditation.
But
can you see the difference in how you feel before and after?
My guide used to tell me,
it really does not matter what goes through during the meditation
What is important is how I feel after the meditation.
That is more important
As you gently open your eyes
write down your observations
Where was your attention during meditation?
How do you feel now?
Any inspirations or any great ideas during meditation?
Why we meditate is because we are looking to nurture
a deep satisfying connection with our heart.
Our aim is to nurture this connection
so that we can feel the meditative state
for longer and longer periods
It is good to meditate,
but we should not leave this meditation where we began and end it in that half hour.
We may actively meditate every day
But we must remain meditatively active during the daytime.
There is a big difference
here to remain meditatively active during our worldly activities.
It is also a training.
