Meditation: Training the Mind
Our human body is like a temple. Our soul is the God residing inside it. Our limbs are the artifacts of the temple. Our soul connects our body and mind. Hence, it is always imperative for us to take care of the soul, so that the human life can be directed in the way, it is intended. In order to achieve the hierarchy level of needs, the needs of the soul must be satisfied. Limbs can never function without the direction provided by the soul. Mind is the most possible depiction of the soul inside all of us. Therefore, it is our duty to train our mind, so that it can take control of the body, our movements, and our thoughts. Training the mind is not at all a new technique. In fact, it is a very ancient technique. Monks in old times used to train their minds, so that they can achieve the ‘Moksha’. They used to do it in order to concentrate, in order to focus on their objectives of life. However, in present times, dynamic pattern of life has changed the reason for training the mind. In the din and bustles of daily life, one has to rush behind the cherished dreams. Most of the times, they are not fulfilled. As a result, they get bogged down by depression, and lose their focus on their goals. Being faced with this condition, they get distracted very easily and in times, fall apart. They lose their enthusiasm and their energy level falls radically. Life provides them with second chances, but distracted souls cannot recognize those. They fall into a vicious circle of failures. There comes the role of training the mind. This technique is majorly known as meditation. In today’s daily hectic schedule, it is gaining its mounting significance. Meditation for half an hour to one hour can provide one with extreme peace of mind, positive energy, and an enthusiastic outlook towards life. It releases the tension in mind, relaxes the limbs, and makes one ready for further challenges. It makes one more alive to face the hurdles of life more successfully than ever. Yogic meditation has many positive impacts on human life. Across India, there are several organizations, which provide meditative trainings and consultancy services. If you are facing troubles in your daily life and looking for a steady solution, you can go through the pages of...
