MEDITATION

Meditation can help us to understand our own mind. Meditation can transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy.

HOW TO MEDITATE

we need to have a comfortable seat and a good posture. The most important feature of the posture is to keep our back straight.

                                                                                                POSTURE

1. First to sit cross-legged.This helps to reduce thoughts and feelings of desire.

2. The right hand is placed in the left hand, palms upwards, with the tips of the thumbs slightly raised and gently touching. This helps us to develop good concentration.

3. The back is straight but not tense. This helps us to develop and maintain a clear mind, and it allows the subtle energy winds to flow freely.

4. The lips and teeth are held as usual, but the tongue touches against the back of the upper teeth.

5. The head is tipped a little forward with the chin slightly tucked in so that the eyes are cast down.

6. The eyes are neither wide open nor completely closed, but remain half open and gaze down along the line of the nose. 

7. The shoulders are level and the elbows are held slightly away from the sides to let air circulate.

                                                                         BREATHING

When we have settled down comfortably on our meditation seat.

Then we gently turn our attention to our breath.

As we breathe out we imagine that we are breathing away all disturbing thoughts and distractions.

As we breathe in we imagine that we are breathing in all the blessings and inspiration of the holy beings

If we concentrate on our breathing in this way, negative thoughts and distractions will temporarily disappear.
