So what is meditation? How can it be described in a few words?

Meditation is a term that refers to various methods for relaxing the body and mind, and which can ultimately lead to a state of inner peace and bliss. In it higher forms, meditation frees the mind from the subconscious compulsive habit incessant and compulsive thinking, and leads to inner peace, inner freedom, and to awareness of one’s real essence – The Inner I – The Spirit, which is above and beyond the mind.

Accepting the idea that you are not the mind is a great step toward mental mastery, better concentration and meditation, and the attainment of inner peace. You realize this idea as a fact, after you develop the ability to focus your mind in accordance with your will. Being able to direct your mind according to your will is a proof that you are not your mind, but something higher and above it.

Concentration and meditation require the ability to focus the mind, otherwise you will be constantly distracted and your mind will move from one thought to another, and that is neither cocentration nor meditation.

By practicing concentration exercises and learning to direct the mind according to your own will, you prove to yourself that you are not the mind. You realize that you are separate from the mind, otherwise how can you master it? It is you, the real you that is directing the mind. The ability to focus the mind or stop its activities in accordance with your will, awakens the understanding that you are not your mind, and this understanding helps both concentration and meditation, and is a great step toward self-realization.

Most people experience stress and tension on a daily basis. There are demands at work, at school and in relationships, and there is rush and hectic pace, which bring tiredness and unhappiness, impatience and frustration. All this adversely affects the body, the mind and the quality of life, and is quite unnecessary.

One needs a way to release all this tension and stress, or if possible, not create it at all. What you need is some relaxation, to get away from the stress, tension and hectic way of life. This why you need a vacation every now and then, but few are in a position to take a vacation whenever they desire or have the money to pay for one.

The good news is that you can afford to go on a vacation everyday, even more than once a day, without going away and spending money. You can enjoy a period of freedom from your daily tasks and chores, from stress and problems, and at the same time renew your energy and enjoy inner peace. You can enjoy such a vacation when you practice meditation.
