Meditation

Meditation is the art of staying in this present moment. A sleepy person either lives in the past moment or is dreaming about the future life. But a meditator stays in this present moment and is alert about his thoughts and actions.

Any action done with awareness is meditation. Meditation means to be fully aware of our actions, thoughts, feelings and emotions. Another name of meditation is passive awareness.

Meditation is not concerned with any activity but it is concerned with our alertness while doing any action. Meditation means to add awareness and alertness in our actions.

Meditation is not thinking about any god, chanting any mantra or practicing any concentration exercise. Meditation is to be passively aware of our thoughts and feelings.

Concentration exercises makes the mind stronger. Meditation does not make the mind strong but it takes us beyond the mind. Meditation is all about dis-identifying with the mind. Meditation is to be alert about our thoughts and witnessing our desires rather than indulging in them

6 Spiritual Laws --- TRUTH

TRUTH of Who AM I ? "I AM" & Why we visit planet earth; why we fall ill; answer of every why....
6 Spiritual Laws

1. Law of Consciousness
We are not Body. We are not mind. We are Consciouness. Everything .......matter, Energy,Thought all are Consciouness. Everything is fundamentally Consciouness.
  अहम् ब्रह्मस्मि. तत्त्वमसि. चैतन्यमात्मा
We = Consciousness + Energy + Knowledge

2. Law of Reincarnation
Consciouness incarnates in several Life Forms,in several Human forms.
Around 350 to 450 Human Incarnation needed to Learn all lessons viz. Compassion, Empathy, Patience, NonViolence,
Responsibility & ONENESS
There is one important point to note that We never go in inferior life forms once we enter any advance Form.(For example,once we entered Human Form. We will ALWAYS incarnate in Human,never in Animal.)

In Human form,One has to experience all types of Life Situation Richness, Poverty, Male body-Female body

In life between Life stage ,with the help of Masters of Karma, we choose any favourable socio-economic situation by ourself. Everything is our choice. We choose our own parents & family.

3. Law of Karma
As we sow,so we reap. There is no coincidence or, by chance. There is cause for every happening.
Positive effect from Environment (destiny) after Positive Karma (Helping other, being in self-less service, Loving all-being-kind, Forgiveness etc.);
Disease and other suffering after Negative Karma (Violence,Non vegetarianism,Hatred,Judgement etc.)
Our personal life get influenced by mainly Individual karma.
Our society get affected due to Group Karma.There is role of karma in all natural calamities too.
It is Practical Code Of Ethics.
You receive from world,WHAT YOU GIVE to the world.
As you give so it shall be given to you.
WHAT YOU SAY to others shall be done exactly unto you.
HOW YOU LOVE & SERVE others shall be done unto you.
IF YOU RADIATE LOVE n COMPASSION,you do receive it.
What you INTEND is what you become.
You drawn to yourself souls of like frequency (&together you create reality.)
when you judge,you create negative karma.
WHEN YOU CONSCIOUSLY EMBRACE COMPASSION,EMPATHY,FORGIVENESS>>you create Positive Karma>> your Present n FUTURE LIVES become better.

You are in control of your Karma.
Karma teaches you that YOU HAVE ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME/CREDIT FOR YOUR LIFE [Success as well Failure; Happiness as well as Misery]

We human-souls are here to MASTER LAW OF KARMA
and Learn Lesson of Compassion,Empathy,Forgiveness,Non-violence,LOVE,oneness;RESPONSIBILITY etc.
During Birth Each soul choose/drawn to Parents who can Provide the Biological heredity & Physical Environment needed to Learn Karmic Lessons. Psychic Genetics is more imp.than Biological genetics in Determining the Characters of Our lives.

there is nothing else to do ... or think about ... just pure relaxation !

Be the Breath

INHALE softly, easily...
EXHALE softly, easily

let your breath be a rhythm of calm

your breath is a rhythm of calm

follow your breath

Be Calm

BE WITH YOUR BREATH
use your mind to follow your breath in ... out ... in ... out
that is all

Be Still
BE WITH YOUR BREATH

Anapanasati Meditation is so simple ..
so very easy .. not at all difficult

Meditation can be done
by
any one
at any age
at any time
at any place

Meditation should be done regularly ... every day meditation should be done .. as per one's age in terms of so many minutes ..
e.g., twenty minutes .. if your age is twenty years .. forty minutes .. if your age is forty years and so on and so forth

Spiritual health is root and Physical Health is the fruit.

Meditation is the greatest gift to be given to our lives .. by our own efforts.

The physical body has its own natural and easy rhythm of the breath. In meditation, the mind has to become totally attuned to the normal rhythmic nature of the breath of the physical body.

Full Moon Group Meditation

At the Full-Moon Time, all our Lower-Bodies (physical, emotional and lower mental), which are called Lunar-Bodies, are removed from the direct impression of the moon. Because of this, we have a chance to radiate our inner light through our Lower-Bodies, which are still polluted to some degree from the previous influence of the moon. When the Lower-Bodies are more or less without stimulation from the Moon, the Higher-Energies release themselves and penetrate abundantly into the human atmosphere.

Sometimes, when the heavens are full of black clouds, suddenly a window of blue sky opens up and the rays of the Sun beam down to Earth. Exactly the same thing happens at the time of the Full-Moons ; a spiritual window opens between Humanity, the Hierarchy and Shambala, and a river of light, love and power streams forth, charged with divine impressions.

The Full-Moon period is the Most Opportune Time for the Forces of Light because the Influence of the Moon is at its lowest ebb, and it is at such times that the Extra-Planetary Beneficent Forces can be contacted with safety and with great benefit to Humanity.

At this time, as the Full-Moon is approaching, the Great Ones, the initiates and disciples are forming a great field of energy in the Himalayas through their meditation, contemplation, mystical and sacred rituals, and through their great striving, invocations and contacts.

When the new " World - Religion " is formulated under the influence of incoming energies and deeper human understanding, there will be a Festival for Each Full-Moon. It is for the benefit of the Meditating person which gives ultimate cosmic energy in every cell of the body.
