Book Description
Apart from being a path for Self-Awareness, Meditation is becoming an essential tool for controlling your reactions, changing your perceptions, bringing calmness and peace into your life and giving you greater clarity and insight into human relationships.
Meditation also has several health benefits that have been researched and documented by the scientific community.
In today's age of the trubled individual, broken relationships and confusion about the direction of life, Meditation has emerged as a powerful force in regaining self-control and inner stability.
A teacher of Meditation, the author explains this ancient science in a lucid, practical and extremely simple manner.
Vikas Malkani is an internationally renowned spiritual teacher and an expert on motivation and human relationships.
He is the author of the best-selling book Spirituality Made Simple and has lectured to audiences all over the world.
Mr. Malkani is the recipient of numerous national awards and has been profiled many times in national print media, radio and television.
In every culture and society, all over the world, people are educated in the skills needed to function and survive in that culture – how to talk, think, work, and investigate the objects and experiences of the external world. We learn sciences such as biology, and chemistry in order to understand the world we live in, but no one teaches us how to understand or attend to our own dimensions, neither in any school nor in any college or university. We merely learn to assimilate the goals, fashions, and values of our society, without really knowing ourselves. This leaves us ignorant of ourselves and dependent on the advice and suggestions of others.
Meditation is a very different, subtle, and precise approach; it is a simple technique of learning to pay attention to and understand all the various levels of our selves – the body, the brea6thing process, the aspects of stress. As time progresses, you may find that you enjoy the positive results from meditation-increased joyfulness, clarity, and awareness-as much as you enjoy the relief of the physical, nervous, and mental symptoms of stress. Meditation will certainly help you in locating your inner self – the real you.
