Meditation is where you listen to God

When I learn meditation about 15 years ago it came to me as a part of Stress management training from the corporate world for senior executives. But I have been practising the same since then regularly and it has helped me tremendously in attaining higher spiritual energy levels and also calmness of mind and soul.

Meditation becomes a habitual process and you start missing if you do not do it even in one day. By taking time for yourself to train your mind to refocus and redirect, you show regard for Self. This can indeed increase self awareness and you become mindful of the surroundings and I have even found deeper thoughts. Remember I had started this as just a way to reduce stress and develop concentration.

It is always when your mind is focused on something, even something like committing a crime, you are meditating on that. I know it has a more esoteric flavour normally, but anyone who is successful in an endeavour due to hard work, meditates on their goal and activities. I have even read somewhere that the Olympic champions meditate on winning a medal and big businessmen meditate on maximising their profits, whereas those lusty people meditate on sex objects, therefore the context is very important and in this context anyone who wants to achieve something meditates on it.

I find meditation as an easy way to connect with God and also listen to God's beautiful silent expressions.  I meditate on the sound of silent waves of the sea and this keeps my mind open and I always get a feeling of reaching God, because all your thoughts will be directed by these processes and the combination of mind and body synchronised in a common objective without distractions becomes very effective.

That, you’ll be controlling the mind and directing it where you want it to go and pulling it back from where you don’t want it to be. But instead of doing it for an hour or two, you’ll be doing it all day. I’ve known some people who meditate on their partners for hours at a time. No technique is really required, and no counting the seconds as they breathe in and out, their mind is absorbed in their partner quite naturally. Indeed they meditate on her all day. But that’s not so easy with God initially, but it’s where we want to be. We have to effortlessly thinking about God all day quite naturally and it bring peace listening to his rhythm and harmony.

My experience has been more profound as I often have what I call those as my “alignment time” giving me a better perspective of something I need to do or a way to look at things from a higher perspective. Some of its beneficial habits and feelings always give a positive mood and outlook, self-discipline, healthy sleep patterns and even increased pain tolerance have been experienced it as reaching your God’s path through prayer. Meditation can be an offering of self to something greater than our situation or place in life.

It is however not true that you only need a quiet place for doing meditation. One single second is enough to make God hear you. Truly speaking, when sometimes, even when you do not speak anything but just think about him, God can hear you. It is utmost important that we focus on the supreme and let all our energy flow towards the path we call. Even in a noisy place, one can find calmness, when you dig it out from within and you can listen to God's own music waves so peaceful and blissful that bring so much inner happiness.
