It is said that the deeper the meditation, the deeper would be the healing. The mind and body are intimately connected, and the relationship of the mind to the body in meditation is very interesting. The mind creates a situation in which we see the body as peaceful and beautiful. By creating peaceful feelings in the body, the mind is absorbed in those feelings. So although the body is the object to be healed, it also becomes the means of healing the mind which is the ultimate goal of meditation.
The process of meditation is nothing but trying to renew that contact which ever was and shall always be within me.
In our modern lifestyles, most of our time and effort is directed towards material well-being, and we often find that our lives have become complicated. We find ourselves longing for inner change, growth and spontaneity. We are pulled in different directions by multiple goals, and are unable to prioritize these to find the balance that give us a sense of well-being and joy.
Meditation trains our mind to regulate itself, leads us beyond the outer activity into the inner silence of our hearts, where we find ourselves connected to our Divine essence. The regulated mind and connection with our inner divinity develops in us a balanced state which is unaffected by the ups and downs of everyday life. Our natural capacity for wisdom and right action begins to manifest, allowing us to prioritize the conflicting demands of life.
Sustained practice of meditation develops a constant balanced state, a deep sense of connection with our inner selves and a lasting direction and meaning to our lives.
More and more people across the globe are turning to meditation, realizing that in order to reach our full potential as complete, balanced human beings, our inner spiritual longings must be addressed along with the material demands of daily life.
As a bird needs two wings to fly, so a human being needs the two wings of existence, the spiritual and the material, to lead a natural and harmonious life.
