Meditation in the cool morning

I love to write about meditation.

All thanks to psychic Marie Callas, I have found meditation brining a calming influence into my life. My awareness has improved too. No longer I feel "blurred" at times. It's like there's a bright light shining on my path that shows me to the right direction.

Meditation gets me closer to God than any prayer. I'm not a religious person but someone who's aiming to be spiritual. Luckily I live in a place that's not too noisy, and sometimes I can heard the birds chirping and insects buzzing on a lazy day. The weather is hot here so I usually wake up at 5am as the weather is cooler and the dew is still visible.

I don't mediate at night as there is too much distraction from family. I would like to ask my wife to meditate with me but I guess she prefers to get up later.

To meditate well you need to sit in a comfortable position. Just find a good place to sit and meditate without being disturbed. For me I sit in my favourite relax chair facing the trees at the second storey of my terrace house. Sometimes I play a little bit of Al Gromer Khan in the background to guide me into the groove.

During meditation, you can close or open your eyes. For me I like to keep them open so that i can see the morning trees swaying in the cool breeze.

Relax your muscles and next concentrate well so that you stop thinking. Let your mind become blank and silent totally. I know sometimes a thought just flies into your mind and that makes you unable to concentrate. In this case, maybe you have to stop for a while.

Listen to the sounds around you. Listen to your heartbeat. Listen to the breaths you're taking. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly. Be aware of every breath, of every sound around you; your pains.

It will take a couple of times for you to master this, but once you do, you will find yourself going to a higher plane than the one that you're currently on, and when you go to a higher plane, you're closer to God. And that is where we all want and need to be.

May peace and prosperity be with you.
