Transcendental Meditation

I am not ashamed to admit, the whole “thinking of nothing” concept really unsettled me. I was unnerved with my sudden stillness. I was not used to the imposed, supposedly relaxing and mind-cleansing technique. I was uncomfortable that I had to have my eyes closed the whole time.

1. Root Chakra or Muladhara: This chakra is located at the base of the spine and aids us in our ability to survive and adapt.

Benefits of Meditation to Your Overall Health
By :
Joseph Reimu
The simplest forms of meditation can often be the best way to get started. Breathing exercises are great and can be done almost anywhere. Simply take a deep breath in and then slowly exhale out. The key is to only think about your breathing and not let external thoughts enter your mind. This can be tough at first as it is easy to get distracted but if you do find other thoughts entering your mind then simply return your mental focus on your breathing. The idea is to quiet the mind and reach that peaceful state of a silent mind that offers many benefits including stress reduction.

The biggest problems we all find, and even those successful in life like corporate entrepreneurs , is the difficulty to control our mind. Most people will agree that at times their mind behaves like a balloon in the wind and the external circumstances act something like the flow of the wind which guide all the thoughts. We are even distracted by trivial matters. Our mind has got uncanny ability to almost immediately reflect and react to the circumstances : bad or good. It often happens that if we get what we want,any worldly desire we might have such as a new possession or a new partner, happiness comes to us and we we feel excited.

“To me the very essence of education is the concentration of mind and not the collection of facts. If I had to do my education over again and had any voice in the matter, I would not study facts at all. I would develop the power of concentration and detachment and then with a perfect instrument (mind) I could collect facts at will.”

By :
Jim Malloy

Many religions teach that total selflessness is the ideal, and that self love is the antithesis of being selfless. I'm not at all knocking selflessness, but is self love really opposed to selflessness? And is it the same as being too self involved? What actually is self love?

Meditation and relaxation go hand in hand, since we can not actually meditate unless we are perfectly relaxed. And the benefits of relaxation are well-known: better concentration, better focus and attention, release of stress and tension - after all, these are beneficial effects that all hard working, active individuals desire.

Meditation Skills: Five Different Ways To Meditate
By :
Trevor Johnson
This is one of the easiest ways to meditate, although obviously it isn't as separate from the rest of the world as you need to be aware of your surroundings. With a walking meditation you pay attention to your feelings and your surroundings. Allow yourself 20 minutes or so and if possible choose a place where you're away from traffic. A local park is good. Then go for a gentle walk and take in the area. Notice the smells and sounds and pay attention to what you see.
