Meditation for peace and harmony
Prepare the Mind to Become Still
A turbulent mind filled with such uncontrolled thoughts drains out the energy
called prana (life force energy), leaving us completely tired, exhausted and frustrated. So how do we move from this turbulence to tranquility? How can
we respond to such situations with a peaceful mind? Explains Shriram Sarvotham, senior Art of Living Yoga teacher, “We cannot directly force or demand the peace of mind but we can prepare the mind to become still.� Meditation prepares the mind to calm down effortlessly. Act with Complete Awareness
Meditation releases the stresses that are accumulated in our mind and leaves it fresh and clear. It brings the mind to the present moment which is the field of action. See, can we smile yesterday? Can we smile two hours later? We can
only plan for it. But, we can smile NOW. That is in our hands. Any action is
possible only in the present moment. When we act with complete awareness of
our action, when the mind is totally attentive to the moment, the action is perfect and mistakes do not happen. Spread The Waves Of Peace
An interesting aspect is that we have the ability to influence our surroundings
- When we enter a room where a fight has happened, we feel a little uneasy;
whereas when we enter a room where a baby is playing, the enthusiasm and joy catches on to us even if we are tired. Similarly, even in a tumultuous
situation if we have inner peace, we can spread the vibrations of peace around us which can help reduce the turbulence. A few minutes of meditation daily helps remain calm during any situation.
