MEDITATION AND VISUALISATION TECHNIQUE


MEDITATION AND VISUALISATION

Meditation and visualisation are two techniques which are meant for god realisation and concentration. Meditation for god realisation or self realisation and visualisation for any worldly affair.

Meditation 

Meditation as described by Shri Shri Paramhans yoganand Ji is the concentration technique used for searching or finding God. Meditation which is a technique to find God is nothing else but to find the inner self. God and self as propounded in scriptures are same. God is the entity which is universal whereas that universal entities part is the self. So finding God means finding self and finding self means finding God. 
Bhagwat Geeta has given primarily four parts for god realisation they are the Bhakti Marg, the Gyan Marg, Karma marg and Dhyan Marg. There are many techniques of meditation and rishi's like Patanjali have given the path of yoga as a way of life or as a way of self realisation.

Paths in Bhagavad Gita 
In Bhagavad Gita in the chapter of Bhakti Marg or that of Meditation lord Krishna says to Arjuna 'O' Arjuna meditate at the tip of the nose. Friends this is the easiest way of meditation. Along with the looking at the tip of the nose with closed eyes also continuously repeat some mantra mentally. Practice this technique 10 minutes or 15 minutes in the morning and evening everyday. See your life transforming in 3 to 4 months time.

Visualisation

Visualisation technique is a method of concentration which is primarily meant for any worldly desire. We concentrate on a particular thing, event or issue and visualise it again and again to our satisfaction. This technique gives us confidence and perfection in performing that particular event. 
I am giving a small example of the visualisation technique of a student's life.
Visualisation example 

A student gets up early in the morning, gets ready for the school,  has his breakfast and after taking blessings from his family members say's bye to them and goes to school. On the way he sees his friends also going to school, he greets them and together they go along and enter the school. He goes to his class and when the bell rings he goes down along with everybody  to the school ground where they do their morning prayer. After the prayer they again go back to the class and do their studies. They have their lunch break or the interval and after that they again follow their routine of rest of the periods for the day. When the school is over, the student goes home has his lunch, rests for the day and plays on his mobile for his entertainment, he may also see the TV as convenient to him. He again rests for sometime and then, when his tutor comes he studies with him. In the evening goes down in the park and plays there with his friends. He comes back studies for some time, does his homework and in the evening has his dinner and then goes off to sleep with his parents.
This kind of visualization can be done by anybody be it a lawyer, be it a doctor be it a corporate employee or anybody else.
This is one of the visualisation technique of the day of a student. We cannot only visualise the day but plan the next day and also the entire week. We can visualise any event that is coming up or plan something that we have to organise or visualise our journey from one place to other or plan our vacation and  visualise it again and again and then successfully conduct the particular event. We will realise with minimum efforts we have achieved the maximum output. 

Conclusion 

Meditation and visualisation are two very important techniques in our everyday life. With meditation we can make our life joyful and blissful. With visualisation technique we can plan an event and successfully complete it. In both meditation and visualization a particular technique is used to achieve the goal that we have set for ourslves.

MEDITATION AND DISCIPLINE

Meditation is the best way to develop self discipline. The regular habit of meditating morning and evening develops our routine, increases the will power, which combined with regular exercise without fail, develops a habit which helps in developing or inculcating self discipline in us. It is said that with will power we can achieve the most difficult thing, which ever is there in the world. Once we develop will power we can discipline ourselves too. With the developed will power or strong will power we can easily discipline ourselves in whichever field we want to, be it reading habit, be it exercising habit, be it  looking after our health problems, be it eating habit or be it getting up early and sleeping early in the night which ever habit we want to develop we can do it and that is what it is meant by disciplining ourselves.  Controlling the mind is the most and the most important habit which we should try to do. Once we control the mind we can discipline ourselves in which...

CONCENTRATION AND MEDITATION

Image
Meditation is an aspect of spirituality which is supposed to take us to the kingdom of god. It is one of the most important tools to find the almighty. It is primarily meant for knowing and finding god and knowing who we are and what we are supposed to do. Meditation is supposed to be learned from a learned master. A master whom you believe that he is in  know of god and he is one with god. This you can do by asking yourself again and again whether you are supposed to choose him as your master or as your guru or not. Intuitively or through many indications you will realise whether he is your master, your guru or not.  We can use meditation on any aspect of the worldly things. It is the most important tool to focus and concentrate on anything that we want to have. We use meditational techniques to control our mind and focus it at a particular point. It is like tieing our mind to a piquet and then not allowing it to go anywhere else other than  to remain  where we want...

MEDITATION, MIND CONTROL, STRESS AND ANXIETY

Meditation is the best tool to control mind and get rid of stress, anxiety and depression. It is said in Bhagavad Gita that a controlled mind is the best friend and an uncontrolled mind is our worst enemy. We need to focus our mind on something so that it remains there. we can force it to remain where we want it to be and  does not allow it go anywhere else other than where we want it to be. It is like taming the mind with a small rope around a picquet so that it cannot go anywhere else other than that particular place. Once you control the mind you will see the immense power of the mind which you can easily use for your own benefit as well as for the benefit of mankind. You will unleash the immense power of mind which can make anything possible. But controlling the mind is like controlling the wind because it does not stay at one place for more than few seconds. To control it what is required is a particular technique with which you can force it to remain at a particul...
