Meditation
Meditation nowadays is getting popular all over the world, especially in the westeren hemisphere. Many people meditate everyday and find it very helpful. It helps them to relax from their stressful day. It is not easy to define, what meditation is. Perhaps it is easier to say what meditation is not.
It is not a state of sleep.
It is not a state of hypnotism.
It is not a state of trance.
It is not a state of hypnotism.
It is not a state of trance.
It is not daydreaming.
It is not imagination.
It is not escaping from the reality.
It is not just thinking things over.
It is very difficult to explain the meditative state. It is like explaining how it feels to be in love with a girl/man to somebody who has never tried to fall in love. You have to experience it. In the same way you have to experience to enter and feel the meditative state.
If we study our mind for a whole day, we will notice that our feelings and thoughts are influenced by habits. We have a certain type of thought patterns. Our mind can be compared to a knife which is not sharp or a mirror which has dust on it. If we want to use the two things we have to sharpen the knife and wipe the mirror clea
n. That is what meditation will do. It sharpens our mind and makes it more sensitive and full of feelings. That is why it is very important to keep the mind quiet, passive and waiting 
during meditation. So you can say meditation is intense listening of your inside.
Imagine you are listening to some day explaining to you some very important thing.
Your attention is focussed on what the person is telling and you concentrate to understand every word of it. But still you are passive and in a receiving state of mind.
At the same time if you are relaxed and not stressed you are approaching what is called meditative state.
It means when you meditate you are completely relaxed without having any stress, going deep inside you to get in contact with your higher selv and the God. The big difference between prayer and meditation is in prayer you are talking to God asking him for some favour. In meditation you listen to God. In the complete silence of meditation you hear God.

Hi baby….
Good post… lots n lots of gyan…
I know meditation is actually one of the best way to realise the tensions n stress…
I’ve an equally effective way… I call it Blogging ;-)
It is like explaining how it feels to be in love with a girl/man to somebody who has never tried to fall in love
Hmmmmm good 1 baby…
If we study our mind for a whole day, we will notice that our feelings and thoughts are influenced by habits
Another option… I’ll study the girlz mind and she would study mine… then we can exchange thoughts… there will be more motivation… indirect meditation and a possible probable romance ;-)
He he he he
Just kididng dear
In the complete silence of meditation you hear God
Ooooh is that so… I hear him other wise also…
He keeps telling Stop Flirting Puneet ;-)
It’s high time that I should listen to him…
Acha don’t get bugged… jokes apart…
I enjoyed it…
Dwedy had posted once about meditation…
Take care
Cheers

Nice informative post and nice gal...the one doing some namaskar asana....
Work pressure and competition has taken our toll....n Meditation is the best to counter it... These days u cant even find a quiet place to meditate... Just relaxing some time before sleep when everything is quiet isnt a bad idea....

Anbu, at 10/08/2005 12:58:00 PM
If that gal (first pic) teaches me how to meditate, then I think I will seriously learn the art of meditation ;)

AFAIK
the purpose of meditation is to ward off all the ebulient thoughts from the mind, n try to focus it at a single point.
To gain control over ur wandering self.
remember the state of 'samadhi'.
As we've had a lot of discussion on God/Prayers already, me putting a period here. :)

Hiya Sissy!!!
Well...am a very short tempered girl...n to get rid of tht...i did quite a lotta stuff...tried the Art of Living course by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar...and I've done meditation for a bit too...it feels great when u are into it...but once u stop...u're gone!!! it happened to me...i had headaches, loss of concentration, restlessness nd stuff.....i guess i was wrong somewhere......so all i wanna add to ur post is:
Consult a professional before getting into all this....else it might take u somewhere else...i.e the other side of the coin!
Nice and informative post though!!
Muuuuuuuuuuuuahhh and hugzzzz!
Cheerz!

meditation and me ...forget it...
lolzz... yeh once i remember going for a week with my friends .. just did time pass lolzz... this was long time back hmm..4-5 years back ...
but yeh one needs that inclination and motivation to do it.. i cant sit in one place for long ..so meditation is not my cup of tea ;) .. yeh i will try doing it donno when ...lolzzz
its all about washing ur mind , cleaning it ...its difficult to explain it
You cannot drink the word "water " or the word "Rain" cannot make u wet ...you must experience the word water n rain to know what the word means.
have a gr8 day dear ...
hugzzzzzzzz

Meditation is a great way of relaxing your mind and body. A perfect solution to stress management is to practice breathing techniques under the guidance of Yoga. I've learnt to integrate these strategies as a part of my routine life. It works wonders

the effects of meditation can be induced thru substance as well.I have tried both and so i know.Lsd gives you the same trip,infact more potent.And psychedelic drugs do help one to meditate.But the difference is 'control'.In meditation you are in control,with drugs they are.And that makes all the difference.

zombie,
I read your blog.Why dont you stop blogging altogether?You have only one aim behind posting comments and that is your 'ego'. Did u really expect answers from strawy?A google search and using your own intelligence could have done , dont u think so?
Now next week come up with a new blog saying that you are reincarnated .
Zombie and fight? lollll
A match with u?You fight with someone who u think you can crumple.But you will lose out on a genuine and 'true' comments . Because you know that they can;t get back to you.If it was a real match you would be crowned winner of all fake personalities.What will u do other than ask your old and aged brother to hire a hitman and beat me up? That old fag cant lift himself off of the couch.
Atleast strawy writes her own posts, unlike you who copy pastes from other blogs.Now who is intelligent?
OK if u want to really fight with me , let me see if you can reply back to me..Because I know u wont:)
