Why Meditate?


In the daily motion of our life, we are bound to be emotionally high-jacked.  We could be surrounded by emotions such as greed, anger, spite, envy, jealousy, etc.  Our body moves towards its death, every second.  We fall ill – sometimes seriously ill, and the whole world comes crashing down.

Alternative healing presupposes that most of our illness spring from our disorderly and negative emotions.  Mood swings, depression and negativity cause real damage.  Programs have been designed to induce relaxation in our body so as to alter our mental and physical state.  However, there is only so much that it can do.

Meditation is used to defy the above condition and induce a state of thoughtlessness.  The idea is to overcome thought.  A saying goes “The lesser the traffic of thoughts in our mind, the smoother the journey”.  The monkey mind no longer stirs and we are introduced to an alpha state.  Meditation refocuses our energy to the higher self where greed, anger, spite, envy, jealousy, etc have no place.  The energy used up by the lower values is now free for attaining the highest state of consciousness.

All education must first begin with the introduction to meditation.  The rest follows just like the shadow follows the person.
