Mediation is a way to look deep within to find a balance and equilibrium in your life. It helps find perfect Harmony of mind, body and the soul.
Imagine a one-winged bird. How do you think it will fly? Obviously,
it will fly in a circular pattern, deeply meddled in its viscous circle. A two-winged
bird on the other hand will flap its wings and soar high into the sky. The wings
of the bird represent the external material world and the inner self. Only when
these two are in perfect balance, can we attain harmony and be at peace with
ourselves and our external world.
Buddha
sat under the Bodhi tree for 7 weeks. He meditated and reflected on his life's
experience, thus unearthing the truth. From that moment on he was called the
"Enlightened one".
We have talked about the “what” and “why” of mediation. Now let's talk
about the “how” and “when” of mediation.
Breath is the foundation of all life and we will do a guided
meditation on breath for about 5 minutes or so. Sit comfortably; gently close
your eyes. Breathe in and exhale gently. Now focus on your breath (focus on each
inhalation and exhalation). This will unplug your mind from the mundane and bring
your attention to the foundation of life (breath). After this meditation on
breath, you will feel that your mind, body and soul is relaxed and rejuvenated. You
can do this for 5-10 minutes in the morning and repeat in the evening, to discover
your true self.
