Introduction
Art & Science of Meditation Meditation is not an easy practice to learn as mind keeps wandering, but once learned, it is the easiest and most natural practice. Keep patience and remember: 1. You clean your house and body regularly; why not also clean your mind regularly with meditation? 2. Do not be down or frustrated under any circumstance - we have to accept the natural reality as it is.
3. Under problematic or dangerous situations, animals have only two alternatives; but human beings are gifted with intellect, consciousness and awareness. We have a third alternative to solve any problem - not to fight or flight or submit or suppress yourself, but find an alternative that is positive, constructive or creative for the situation. Remember that every problem has a solution
4. Mind is a very restless organ. If you cannot control your mind, it will control you. 5. Keep an open mind to accept the truth. No rigidity or obstinacy or closed mind, but open and dynamic mind to accept the truth. 6. Mind is an instrument of your soul. One can use it positively or negatively. 7. Soul is attached to physical body and brain in every living being. Soul can be defined as consciousness, intellect, energy, divinity, etc.
