Meditation reins the Mind

Our mind is a wanderer by nature. At one moment it is thinking about this, and at other moment about something else, and at times even in one single moment mind can think about diverse matters. May be this is what we call unity in diversity! Well jokes apart but this mind is a true wizard. And how amazing it would be to use this tool of mind as per our directions? When it no longer directs our actions but is directed by us to give us the solutions whenever required.

One may ask that is it really possible to tame and utilize mind at our convenience. Then the answer is a resounding yes. And the key is MEDITATION. It is through meditation that one can understand the functionality of mind. This very understanding becomes the door to go beyond the clutches of mind. When one crosses this threshold, mind looses control over actions rather becomes a meek follower.

Mind looses all its robustness in the vastness of conscious presence which is nothing but harvest of persistent Meditation. So, one must be sincere in the practice of meditation to elevate the consciousness to that level when mind would cease to exist. It is not a mirage but a reality; not a deception but clear perception that meditation is the way.

Right Meditation Posture plays a vital role in the practice of any meditation technique. As once the seeker is able to conquer the wandering of body which is directly related to the ever changing nature of mind, it becomes very easy to sit in meditation for a longer period.

For a yoga enthusiast who has been practicing the yoga poses, sitting in the correct meditation posture with erect spine should not be a problem. The most advanced yoga schools do teach kundalini yoga and ashtanga yoga but then for the beginners learning the basic yoga poses is enough.

Now when you know who the stress creator is and you also know how to befriend it then what are you waiting for. Just meditate!
