The Definitions Of Meditation (..continued)
We can define meditation as the following 'Rs':
5. Relearning
As we become free by practicing meditation we
begin to respect ourselves and relearn what it means to value our self, our
life and our existence in this great play
of life. Forgotten truths appear and a new
education of the self begins.
6. Rediscovering
As we relearn, we rediscover our spiritual
values and resources and, realizing they were always there, we resolve to use
these silent inner treasures, which are the foundation of a better quality of
life.
7. Restoring
As we begin to rediscover our inner spiritual
treasures by meditating (explained yesterday) and we start using them, our
original strengths and qualities are restored. There is a transition (change)
in consciousness enabling confidence and self-esteem to become a natural way of
being.
8. Recharging
The leap of consciousness that occurs when we
connect with our inner spiritual self, is a powerful way of recharging the
energies of the human mind. The mind is filled with a deep tranquility
(peacefulness) that flows into our thoughts and is then reflected in our words
and actions. A world of new vision opens where there is self-mastery and
acceptance of life as it is.
Meditation To Restore Inner Freedom
Experience the following thoughts one after the
other:
I relax…
I release all tensions…
I create a space of silence…
I move towards my inner self, letting my
thoughts gradually focus on the experience of peace…
For a few moments I reflect on all the things
that affect me, that have a negative influence on me, the people, the
situations; everything that stops me from achieving a state of inner freedom…
Around me I visualize a luminous circle (circle
of light); there is a great power of silence…
I feel protected inside this circle of subtle
spiritual power…
Nothing can take away my positivity, my inner
peace, my strength and wisdom…
I can be free to think and feel what I choose.
Internally I am free. I am not at the mercy of anyone or any situation…
Message for the day
To understand the true cause of one’s own
weakness is to get the power to overcome it.
Projection:
We do recognise our weaknesses and make effort
to overcome them. But inspite of our best efforts, we sometimes do not find
success as the weaknesses keep coming back again and again. This is because we
have not worked at the level of the roots to remove the weaknesses.
Solution:
Before I try to remove any weakness that is
working within me, I need to understand the cause of that weakness. For this I
need to question myself to see why that weakness is present in my life and what
is lacking within me. Once I find the cause I need to make effort to fill
myself with the right virtue.
