Meditation and few of its benefits
Meditation many tell me is about concentration but Sri Sri RaviShankar the guru of joy says mediation is doing nothing.
Meditation is just relaxing doing nothing. It’s said three pre requisites for enjoying meditation are
- Just for few minutes of Meditation , I want nothing.
- Just for this short time I do nothing
- I am nothing
Once you have begun meditation the joy is in accepting the sounds around you, not resist any sensation or feelings in the body or thoughts. It’s just about accepting all the thoughts and let it go
Even listening intently is an action of doing something or connect concentration. You need not be intent of listening instructions
Just relax observe your mind settling down and doing nothing at all
Once you know meditation is about doing nothing wanting nothing you may check the benefits of meditation.
Top benefits include complete relaxation . Maybe slip into deep rest that is aware of the sounds and instructions
One does not sleep during meditation but slip into a state that is so close to sleep but aware of the sounds.
Besides the close to sleep feeling it also brings a degree of calm in the mind
Many times the mind goes to rest without causing any feeling , thought or action during the time of meditation.
Meditation guided by a teacher or a guru is the best format.
The length of meditation can be between 10 minutes to a good 30 or 40 minutes of total rest relaxation and silence.
