MIND REQUIRED FOR MEDITATION. by Chennai based K.B.Gopalakrishnan 19th, June,2007 10:00AM
In some way meditation can be defined as the conquest of the mind. Mind patterns, habits ideas need to be conquered. Some of the mind states which are described below needs to be conquered before you come to normal.
Mind which is tired- chant and see how long it takes for you to become fresh. Instead of going to sleep this is a good exercise for meditation. I assume that readers will know that meditation brings in higher energy that calms, soothes and energizes the mind.
Mind which is hungry - focus on some thing else instead of food. It will be difficult but then it is worth while.
Mind which wants to sleep- this is a very important exercise for dream yoga. Try doing it before sleep. I found many times that I have extra energy and there is no sleep. Of course it requires effort for more than one and half hour in my case.
Mind which is emotional and disturbed- try to calm the mind using the steps of the meditation in metta. Following are the small recap. Ask for divine help, pray to master to guide you, think of all good things u have and thank god, try to think of other person good quality, redefine the experience, try to think how to make the other person happy, meditate on negative effects of anger , think of death, think of different kind of suffering others have and how compared to it yours is small, learn to accept defeat and offer victory to people.
Mind which is tired after, cinema, mind which gets tired due to traveling, mind which goes in to talking mode due to boredom- these are very good moments to exercise will and control the mind. You will see mental digestion happening fast and one’s own will, intelligence, knowledge and influence of mind becoming easier.
