Deep within you is a place of infinite calm, an oasis of peace, love,
wisdom, power, healing. All you need lies within you, surrounds you and enfolds
you. Fulfillment far beyond your human desire is there, awaiting your
recognition and acceptance. Transcendence over your past, transformation of your
being...

People
often ask me how long and often to meditate. No one way suits everyone.
Spending more time is better, but it depends on the individual's needs
and potential. If you have demands on your time and energy, then the
effort to meditate could just create more of a burden...

Our energy level and mental programs are the major contributing factors to
how we interpret what's going on in our lives. That's why the most important
tool I have to offer to increase self awareness is daily meditation. Meditation
keeps our energy up high enough so that we have the clarity... Otherwise, our energy is so low that we just
get caught in reacting to others...

 What we call meditation or contemplation -- for
want of a better word -- is really supposed to be fun. I have some difficulty in
conveying this idea because most people take anything to do with religion
seriously -- and you must understand that I am not a serious person. I may be
sincere, but never serious...

by Robert Landau. Exhaustive research conducted over the last couple of
years has shown that meditation is an excellent antidote against stress,
hyperactivity, and fear related themes. It has been found to increase your
energy, as well as lower blood pressure and heart rate. Meditation can also be
used as a successful tool to accompany many medical, psychological and
alternative healing therapies. Last, but certainly not least, for centuries,
people like you and me have been using the art of meditation to control the
mind-chatter that so often interferes with our connection to inner peace...

by Ron Scolastico, Ph.D. You do not come into earth to meditate. You come into earth to think, feel, act, and do. Thus, the primary impulse from your soul is not to meditate, but to love, to create harmony and goodness, and to heal. Now, the forces of God will love you no matter
what you do, whether you meditate or not, whether you fulfill your purposes or
not, whether you are loving or selfish. Your soul will also love you in all of
those cases.

by Tobin Blake. From TV sets and radios to sirens, jet aircraft, horns, and the constant yammer of too many people with too much to say, our world is filled with noise. When we are not engaged in listening to something or someone, we are usually yapping away ourselves, either externally or at least in our own heads. As a result very few people have experienced true quiet |

We all start out as a closet case. We have a secret life
with secret pain that we keep under wraps in this closet. We bolt the
door and hide the key, keeping our dark side hidden away, and we work
very hard to function over the top of that pain, fear and anguish and
go on somehow with our lives, perhaps thinking we are the only ones
with secret pain.

by Carlos Warter, M.D., Ph.D. You can use random sounds (such as sirens, the neighbor's lawn mower, etc.) as reminders to return to the present moment. This technique encourages us to transcend our mood. |

by Eric Harrison. Don't be surprised if your doctor says to you, "Have you considered meditation?" He's not some alternative quack. The doctors are on firm ground when they recommend meditation. They are backed up by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of scientific studies going back decades. |

 Meditation is like doing mental push-ups that strengthen the muscles of awareness and choice. While it's not a practice that most people are willing to adopt for life, even several weeks of meditation can help train your mind and change your attitudes. If you should decide to keep it up, the benefits for the body are just as positive.

by James Robbins. Whether you encounter persistent drowsiness or any other obstacle to meditation, if you are not ready to meditate just now, ask yourself, Why not? Is there something you are avoiding in your daily life, some relationship left unresolved? Ironically, as you look into this very question, you are still practicing a form of meditation. One of the most direct forms of meditation, which Ramana Maharshi called self-inquiry, is to repeatedly ask yourself the simple question: Now who is it, who is it really, that's having all these problems with meditation? |
