Counting Some Health BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
Meditation is not for a few but is necessary for all human beings. The inner self of a person touches the Higher Self (the ParamTattwa) during deep sleep daily. This unknown touch recharges the battery of man.
Meditation involves sitting in a relaxed position and clearing your mind. You may focus on a sound, like 'ooommm', or on your own breathing, or on nothing at all. It's necessary to have 5-20 distraction-free minutes to spend. It's helpful to have silence and privacy, but more practiced meditators can do it anywhere. Many practitioners of meditation attach a spiritual component to it, but it can also be a secular exercise.
Meditation is to the mind what sleep is for the physical body-it regenerates you.
Different Types of Meditation:
Meditation has evolved out of many different religions and philosophies, which means there are many different techniques to choose from.
Some examples include:
O Concentrating on the breath - consciously noticing the movement of air in and out of your nostrils, or counting the breath in variety of ways.
O Emptying the mind - allowing the mind to clear and 'float', gently pushing aside any stray thoughts, or allowing thoughts to float in and out of awareness.
O Looking at an object - focusing your attention, but not necessarily your thoughts, on the shape, sound and texture of an object, such as a tree or a candle flame.
