MEDITATION
WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Mind is often a helpless victim of various types
of turbulence like anger, grief, sensuality,
revenge and remorse and this condition is
prone to harm one’s own self or others.
With mediation one learns the art of single-
pointed concentration, which elevates the level
of efficiency in any assignment and opens the
right avenue for success.

 Watching your breath
is meditation; listening
to the birds is
meditation.
 As long as these
activities are free from
any other distraction to
the mind, it is effective
meditation.
Meditation is both
Ancient spiritual practice
Contemporary mind-
body technique
HISTORY
Some of the earliest references to meditation are
found in the Hindu Vedas. History of meditation is
intimately bound up with the religious context within
which it was practiced.
Secular forms of meditation were introduced in India
in the 1950s as a Westernized form of Hindu
meditative techniques and arrived in the United
States and Europe in the 1960s. Rather than focusing
on spiritual growth, secular meditation emphasizes
stress reduction, relaxation and self-improvement.
When to meditate : Morning
time is the best for meditation, at
the time of sun rise other it can
be performed at any time and at
any place while sitting in a office,
moving in a bus, studying in a
chamber, Have deep breaths at
least for 3 times before sitting for
meditation.
Sit in a comfortable position.
*Classic posture is cross-legged on floor
(sukhasana)
*Straighten your spine.
Breathe deeply through your nose.
Inhale to full up lungs and then exhale slowly to expel all the
air, observing breath all the time.
meditation in india
Most of the ancient religions of the world have a tradition of
using some type of prayer beads as tools in devotional
meditation.Most prayer beads consist of pearls or beads
linked together by a thread.The Roman Catholic rosary is a
string of beads containing five sets with ten small beads.
Each set of ten is separated by another bead. The Hindu japa
mala has 108 beads (the figure 108 in itself having spiritual
significance, as well as those used in Jainism and Buddhist
prayer beads.Each bead is counted once as a person recites a
mantra until the person has gone all the way around the
mala.The Muslim mishbaha has 99 beads. Specific
meditations of each religion may be different.

There are a variety of meditation
techniques that can be effective-
Mindfulness
Meditation:- requires
no props or preparation
(no candles to light,
mantras to choose, or
techniques to learn). The
key feature of
mindfulness meditation is
a focus on the present
moment
Walking Meditation
 Walking meditations can
be fast or slow, can be
practiced with a clear
mind or with the aid of
music or a mantra.
Walking meditation is
especially useful for
those who like to stay
active and may feel
stressed with the silence
and stillness of some of
the other methods, like
mindfulness meditation.
Mantra Meditation
 It combines some of
the benefits of
positive affirmations
with the benefits of
meditation with the
repetition of a single
word or sound
Mini-Meditations
For those who feel they don't have
time for full-length meditation
sessions
(meditations around 5 minutes in
length)are a great technique to try.
Mini-meditations are very simple, and
fit in well with even the busiest of
schedules
