Meditation

Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. Meditation involves turning attention to a single point of reference. Different meditative disciplines encompass a wide range of spiritual or psychophysical practices that may emphasize different goals—from achievement of a higher state of consciousness, to greater focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more relaxed and peaceful frame of mind.

Meditation can be said to be self regulation of attention. The various techniques of meditation can be classified according to their focus. Some focus on the field or background perception and experience, often referred to as mindfulness.

Meditation helps improve concentration & will power. It relieves tension, trauma & rejuvenates the body to face a hectic day ahead.

According to Osho, meditation does not mean a conscious implementation; it means an effortless jump into oneself into the unconscious of the infinite possibilities. Meditation helps to raise the level of one's energy. Meditation brings in a rhythm to the day.

When to Meditate: Though their is no fixed timing for meditation, it is best done early morning before sunrise, for atleast 15-30 minutes.

Method of Meditation: Hum, moan, groan, sing and sway at the same time. Start feeling that the sound is arising upwards from your throat existential, not meaningful. Enjoy this, that's all. Let it be praise for the rising sun, and stop only when the sun has come up. Dont worry about the external world, who is listening to you & who is not. Just relax & enjoy yourself.
