Meditation(mukti from time and space)
Meditation is simply being in the present moment.The present moment frees the individual to change, explore new patterns, pleasures, and possibilities. It is a power way to heal isolation.
There are many ways to meditate. No one way is best for everyone. One thing common to all forms of meditation is the art of paying attention. We do a lot of different things at the same time.In order to meditate first pay attention breathing. Breathing is central to every aspect of meditation training. It is wonderful place to focus the mind. Breath is a rich experience. It connects us with the whole universe. When you try to pay attention to breathing, you notice that the mind starts wandering. The wandering of the mind is a normal state of mind.From the meditative perspective the normal state of mind is severely suboptimal. It is more asleep than awake.Its energy is frittered away in thoughts of past and future.It is rarely in the present moment. Human beings have a capacity of shifting their awareness wherever they wish. Normally individuals who have not been trained to meditate keep their awareness on the mind which has the habit of wandering.Cultivating and developing a capacity to keep the awareness in the present moment instead of the wandering mind is all what meditation is about. When you start focusing your awareness in the present moment instead of the wandering mind is all what meditation is about. When you start focusing your awareness on breathing, you begin to ride the waves of breath, in and out. At this moment, the awareness begins to wander to the thoughts. Willingly, gently and kindly bring it back to the breath.If it wanders a million times, just lasso it back to breath a million times.This will train the mind to settle at one place.When the mind is thus cultivated, you begin to feel that you are in the present moment-time slows down and might even seem to stop.You are in a Now, that is continually unfolding.The moment you are in touch with the present moment, almost everything will become more vivid and alive. The calm experienced in meditation brings about penetrative insight(into our experience in the present moment). From this insight comes greater understanding, and therefore greater freedom to conduct our lives. The way we feel would lead to greater wisdom and happiness. The deep physiological relaxation which occurs in meditation is in itself healing. There is an access to deep inner resources for healing,, the mind, operating more effectively and helping to develop strategies, making sensible adaptive choices under pressure while coping with stress. One feels more engaged in life.
Meditation is a way of living which introduces us to that other part of our consciousness which is the common ground of all humanity. There we are not individuals; we are not separate entities with psychological content; where each one of us is actually the rest of humanity.As Guru of Dalai Lama explained, "anger, jealousy, hatred and aggression" thrive on concept of our inherent separate existence. Now all the recent researches in physics reveal that our separate existence is an illusion even if it is a stubborn one.In meditation we experience the emptiness of the concept of separate existence. This frees us from the qualities that separate us, and it generates in us compassion, love and altruism which unite us.
