This program is put together mostly for the
beginner and for those who find it difficult to meditate or to control
their minds. We are unable to control our minds because our thoughts are
everywhere. We think about unholy things, money problems, missed
opportunities and our failures the moment we are alone. If we are not
thinking about these we are feeling jealous, resentful, envious and
sometimes even angry. No one could concentrate with all these intruders.
But the good news is that through the practice of meditation you could
train your mind to be free of all the undesirables and to have mastery
over your thoughts. Pictures of saints, saviors and angels as well as
inspirational passages are great objects of meditations. In training to
achieve control over your mind concentrate on a picture, when your mind
wonders bring it back to the picture. Continue this exercise until you
become good at keeping the picture in your mind for as long as possible.
You could do the same with your breath, inspirational passages, your
favorite pet, a snow covered meadow, a flower or a past uplifting or
joyful experience.
The Book is divided into four
sections: Preparing for Meditation, Meditation in the Sacred Texts,
Individual Meditation Program and the Family Meditation Program.
Preparing for Meditation covers most of the things you need to begin a
meditation program including the place of meditation, time for
meditation, meditation sounds, meditation position, etc. Meditation in
the scared Texts includes references to meditation in religious books
like the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Bible and the Buddhist
Sutras. The individual meditation program is a practical goal-oriented
meditation program for the beginner. It runs for six months with
meditation practices for five days every week. And the family Meditation
Program is for the family. Like the Individual meditation program it
also runs for six months with meditation practices for five days every
week.
