There
are various forms of meditations as per the traditions of the great masters or
Gurus. These traditions though, differ from each other, yet they have the
common goal of making the practitioners’ mind and body calm, healthy and help in
opening up the paths to spirituality. If done correctly and regularly,
meditation can be a real blessing for the learners. Now, consider the following
reasons before you actually decide to start your meditation mission.
(1) Though the mainstream meditation traditions come from the sages and saints of
Hinduism and Buddhism, in itself, meditation is free from religions and rituals,
as it has been perfected for the benefit of the mankind, in general; just like Ayurveda
(plants and natural elements based healing/treatment system), Pranayama (breathing
techniques) or Yogasana (Yogic postures). With this universal appeal, meditation
can safely be practiced by all; as a well proven, scientific, natural, and
neutral system to promote well-being and healing. Above all,the system of
meditation is resilient enough and can be adapted to certain specific
requirements of the students and practitioners of all backgrounds, by keeping
the core principles, intact.
