What Meditation?


MEDITATION??

WHAT?




Meditation is something unknown to many many people. I for one had been like "Who cares?" Somehow for people who haven't been exposed to it might find it boring or even hear stories on TV who does meditation in India who will not eat for 30 days. Who would want to do that? I don't want to do that.

Anyway, those are just MISCONCEPTIONS about meditation.

Meditation is going in your mind as opposed to our daily lives which is concentrated on the outside. We eat, work, go to school, brush our teeth and so on. We do it while focusing all our five senses on the outside.

Meditation is focusing what's on the inside.

I used to be very confused with my own thoughts like why do I feel this way? Why do I suddenly did this thing? Why am I unhappy? Why all of a sudden, I feel sad? What is this about? At times, I don't even recognize my feelings. I don't know how I feel? What is this feeling? Is this sadness, disappointment or anger?

I was very confused.

It had come to a point that I still want to grow taller then I downloaded  hypnosis for that. That's the part that exposed me to meditation. It's hypnosis, but somehow it's also some kind of meditation. It feels awesome after that. I discovered that there is a vast universe inside of my mind. At first, I was wandering around my mind here and there. It's fantastic! It's awesome!

I am a very adventurous guy and I find it amazing to be discovering what is inside.

What is inside is as vast as what is outside. It's the microcosm and macrocosm of our reality.

So wonderful!

For those of you who haven't tried it yet, try it. You'll never regret it.

You don't need to sit. You can lie down meditating. It doesn't have to be like the one in the picture below. That's so traditional. There are many ways to do it.

Becoming a Master of Thoughts



SLAVE!

We are had been slaves since birth. I for one is also a slave. Slave of what? - You might ask.

We are slaves of our own thoughts. Every day of our lives, thoughts run through our minds. Our minds accept it and we ride along with it. For one single thought entity, it has its own emotion and feelings with it. As soon as this thought passes through us, we also get along with it and answer to it. If the thought has happy feelings with it, we smile and we laugh even though everything is in our head.

If the thought is sad, we suddenly feel sad. But, where is this thought? It is just inside the mind.

Thoughts and memories had been a part of us subconsciously. It is our duty to be free and be a Master of Our Thoughts.

If you cannot imagine how we had become Slaves of Our Own Thought, imagine you are driving a car. You are just driving, then suddenly a thought comes to you and it's a bad thought. You, being a slave of thought, answers to it and also feels bad. Suddenly, as slaves of thought, from that moment, you feel bad and all your choices and decisions from that time onwards will be based on that. You had become its slave.

If we decide to transcend this level of consciousness, we can. We can all do it!

It won't be easy, but it's achievable.

Let us all be Masters of Our Own Thoughts and we will be Masters of Our World for everything comes from the mind first.
