Meditation

Spiritual, 

Mental, 

or Physical, 

the object 

of meditation 

is to learn 

how every fiber

of your person 

is connected within yourself and with your universe.

You can lock out the world, Concentrate, and learn to focus the mind on a single

thing; your breathing, your mantra or just your belly button.

You can invite the whole world in, Mindfulness, and learn to accept whatever

arises in your senses.

You can sit quietly, Visualization, and bring images to mind; shapes, colors,

or mandalas, to soothe your spirit.

You can move pensively, Movement, the wellness of the body is learned in such

disciplines as Tai Chi or Yoga and in some martial art forms or just by walking.

You can cultivate a positive mood or beneficial outlook, Loving Kindness,

through the contemplation of such feelings as compassion for all people.

Love yourself, God made you perfect to do his will.

Love others; God gave you everyone in your life so

that, good or bad, you may learn how to do the will of your Higher Power.

Have a problem, Transformative; seek solace or the solution to specific problems by

turning negative emotions into positive energies.

These are but a few of the forms of meditation taught by different gurus

over the centuries. Buddha said that there were 84000 ways to meditate.

Try the meditations that appeal to you, use as many as you like,

but know that you need to learn from someone.

The secret to meditation is the discipline; you must do it on a scheduled basis

so that you are in practice when an emergency arises.

Hold on to what you like, seek you own, but know that before

you can work on yourself you must first learn who you are.

Remember, that you change daily, and who you were yesterday

may not be the same person that you are today.

Friends and family are usually only too glad to give you advice and directions.

The teacher, the preacher, the rabbi, the guru, the Indian chief,

the baker, any human with ears that speaks the same language

of the heart will do fine in a pinch. The dog and the cat are not human.

When you have learned an honest meditation, you will know

if the changes in you are for the good or for the worse.

Good meditation is done on a daily basis to improve your

conscious contact with your Higher Power, and your soul.

Need a mantra, borrow someone’s until you have your own,

borrow mine:  "Be Kind, Be Loving, Be patient and Tolerant, Be forgiving

and Be the person God wants me to be."

Repeat the above five times and when you leave the house,

do so with a positive attitude in your heart and a smile on your face.

Write your mantra, the one you borrowed or the one you designed specifically

for you, on a piece of paper and keep it handy until you know it well in your heart.

Repeat your prayer, your mantra, and meditate as often as necessary during the day

or whenever you feel your attitude slipping.

"The important thing is this to be able, at any moment,
to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

  ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi         ( Guru to the Beatles )

Happiness is knowing how to Meditate  to become the best you can be.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
