It is an established fact that meditation keeps a person fit in respect of body as well as mind. All the physiological functions of body e.g. nervous, digestive, circulatory etc. get stabilized and work well with practice of meditation. Diseases like blood pressure, diabetes get controlled. Skill in any profession get enhanced and mind becomes stable by simply 10 minutes practice of daily meditation. It is a wrong impression that practice of meditation is very difficult. In reality it is not so and on the contrary meditation is quite easy and simple to practice subject to the condition that it should be done daily without any break.
You are to take out about 20 minutes from your daily routine. It may be any time. Most suitable time is after your morning prayer. Because at that time your mind is very calm. Forget all earthly matters for some time. You are to keep yourself away from any work and thinking for this period of time. Keep your mobile phone in silent mode. Hang your landphone. So there is no scope for any disturbance from outside. Sit in a comfortable posture with your spine erect and head straight and both the palm on your thighs. Close your eyes and your should keep your eyes closed throughout the whole practice. Take three deep breaths and in each breath you imagine and feel that you are getting relaxed and your whole body is fully relaxed and free from any tension.. Imagine bright white light is entering your head from above and flowing downwards filling inside of your head, face and flowing down through the throat and then filling your chest. From top of head to your chest is filled up with bright white light --- enjoy this for 30-40 seconds and feel that this white light is branching out of your both the arms and flowing through you hands and coming out of your palms. Feel the bliss of this jyoti for 30-40 seconds. Now imagine from the chest the white light is flowing downwards filling you abdomen, lower abdomen and waist. Enjoy it. Then imagine this bright white light is moving downward through your thighs filling up your knees. Knees are the centre of fear for human beings. So imaging as white light is filling up you knees your fears are flushed out of your body and you are becoming fearless. Then imagine the bright light is flowing through your legs and sole of feet and going out of your body.

Following is written by Joseph Murphy in his book “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind”--------------
ReplyDeleteDuring a recent world lecture tour, I had a two-hour conversation with a
prominent government official. He had a deep sense of inner peace and
serenity. He said that all the abuse he receives politically from newspapers
and the opposition party never disturb him. His practice is to sit still for fifteen minutes in
the morning and realize that in the center of him is a deep still ocean of
peace. Meditating in this way, he generates tremendous power, which
overcomes all manner of difficulties and fears.
Some time previously, a colleague called him at midnight and told him a
group of people was plotting against him. This is what he said to his
colleague, “I am going to sleep now in perfect peace. You can discuss it with
me at 10:00 A.M. to-morrow.”
He said to me, “I know that no negative thought can ever manifest
except I emotionalize the thought and accept it men-tally. I refuse to
entertain their suggestion of fear. Therefore, no harm can come to me.”
Notice how calm he was, how cool, how peaceful! He did not start
getting excited, tearing his hair, or wringing his hands. At his center he
found the still water, an inner peace, and there was a great calm.
