What Is Meditation

What is meditation?

Sum years ago. when the western world began exploring more of what the east had to offer. I, like many of the people around me, was fascinated by it, yet I knew nothing of it. That did not stop me though, from clamming to be one who meditated, my only reason being, my need to be groove.

Ironically enough some years later I am turning more and more into a yogi... looking for more ways to find that inner peace and bliss. And most importantly discovering more and more what it is I want to do in life.

       There is no doubt in my mind, that some of you are just as confused about meditation, as I was then. Even though there are endless books about meditation, they do not give you anything even remotely close, to the understanding of meditation as you would understand it once you felt it firsthand.  

  The benefits of meditation can hardly be described in words and when they are, the words only give you an overview of something you can not relate too. Just as one who never had wild love making and I mean Wild LOVE making, will never be able to relate to such an action, regardless to the number of closely related experiences.

There are many different kind of meditation, as it can be used in order to find a solution to a problem or in order to choose your next step carefully. The other way in which meditation is used, is the kind which all who wants to be groove and in the new age categories, are using it.

But the real reason to practice meditation is personal, through meditation you can better understand the meaning of life, the gift that it is... you will understand that all the prove you have ever needed of the existence of something greater and more powerful than any religious figure or scientist could ever sale to you, can be found simply by turning inward.

What does it mean to turn inward?

Our senses that connect us to the world around us are doing just that turning us into the world around us. Turning inward will mean that we will direct our senses to tell us more about our own self, which is why we close our eyes, so that the images we see will not distract us from the act of meditation.

Ironically the very senses which make us human are the very senses which can make us forget what life is all about, but this is where we acutely, really have a choice, we can choose to use our senses and learn more about the meaning of life, or we can choose to use our senses to become what the outside world wants us to be.
