For meditation, the first thing is the posture. You may sit in any posture. The posture must be very comfortable and stable. You may mediate on a chair or on a floor. You can meditate in any place wherever you feel comfortable. Cross your leg, clasp your fingers. Now close your eyes. Stop inner or outer chatter. Don’t chant any mantras. Just relax. When you cross your legs and clasp your fingers, energy circuit is formed and gives more stability. Eyes are doors of the mind. So eyes should be closed. Mantra chanting or any chattering, should be stopped. When body relaxes, consciousness travels to the next room, i.e the mind. Mind is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. There are numerous thoughts always coming to the surface of the mind. Whenever there are thoughts in the mind you may get many questions known or unknown. To transcend the mind and intellect, one has to observe the breath. Observation is the nature of self so one should just witness the breath. Don’t do conscious breathing. This is the main key. Don’t go behind thoughts. Don’t cling to queries, questions or thoughts but let the thought come back to the breath. Observe normal breathing. Be with your breath. Then the density of the thoughts reduces. Slowly the breath becomes thinner and shorter. Finally breath becomes smallest and sense like a flesh between the eyebrows. In this state one will have no breath and no thought. He will be totally thoughtless. This is no thought state. In this state we will be under the shower of cosmic energy. The more meditation one does the more will be the cosmic energy one receives and flows throughout the energy body. So friends please try this procedure and see if you can really feel the sense of absolute peace and tranquility in your mind.For your information, my new blog address is sangay66.blogspot.com.

Madam your article on meditation is very useful. I learned lot about how to control our thoughts. I have teaching to meditate by sitting on chair. Like you suggested, meditating on cross legs is very comfortable as i have tried few times with children. What ever may be, your article is very useful. Thank you for coming up with such valuable information.
ReplyDeleteMa'am Sangay,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, meditation is very important to all of us, your article is very informative and I got lots of ideas on it.
Madam,
ReplyDeleteThankx alot for sharing your thoughts and ideas on meditation. We do practise meditation in our classrooms but students do not do it properly. May be they aren't aware of all these procedures and we the teachers are also not aware of all these.
Now these would be a guiding principle for me and I will try to make my students aware of the processes.
Madam, thanks for sharing such a useful article. However, it is easy said than done. How much ever I try to do meditation, questions and various thoughts come.
ReplyDeleteGoing through your article really refreshed my mind.
