I'll be sharing the lesson of the day after my meditation session. It might help anyone in need and most importantly it may remind/guide me when I am lost.
Lesson of the Day- We believe that when we start meditation, we'll become different. We'll be living a different life. We might start sitting in a different posture with straightened back (as we see in videos) or become yogis or start growing beard (not bleaching/ waxing in case of women). Or, shaving your head off. We'll start preaching about meditation each time we meet anyone and try to place them in the empty yoga mats in the room. Or, become silent. Or control our anger (without counting 1 to 10) or start to hold our breathes. Or will get uplifted in the air (as per funny advertisements). Or whatever weird you can think of.
Or, if you have seen good examples like some grumpy men turning aggressive at lesser occasions than before. Or faces with a peaceful light or trustworthy eyes or peaceable presence.
So basically, Life + Meditation = Different Life.
And today I learnt that actually we have been living a different life throughout our lives. And.... Meditation helps you to live the Original Life.
Meditation’s equivalent word in Sanskrit is dhyana. ‘Dhi’ means receptacle or the mind and ‘Yana’ means moving or going. Dhyana, thus, means a journey or movement of the mind.
ReplyDeleteDhyana is not for those who overeat, who starve, who oversleep or who sleep too little
~ Bhagavad Gita
Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better, it’s about befriending who we are. ~ Ani Pema Chodron
