Practical Meditation: A Way of Life for the Individual and the Family

Definitions and explanations for meditation are many but Practical Meditation is based on the idea that life is a meditation. Most if not all of us have been absorbed in thoughts at one time or another. Sometimes we have been so absorbed that we loose awareness of ourselves; we become one with our thoughts. Becoming one with our thoughts is the height of creativity and we become what we think about. The problem with untrained thinking is that we could easily drift into negative modes of thought. Generally negative thoughts are unhealthy if they are not balanced with their corresponding positive ones. My attempt is to help you to meditate on the things that bring peace to your life rather than worries. Thus my purpose is to give you the tools to enable you to manage your thoughts. My belief is that once you are able to take control of your thoughts you could realize almost anything in your life! Peace of mind, purity of thought, self-control, mental alertness, emotional balance, physical strength, self-awareness, equanimity, a sense of purpose, self-confidence, good health and success are some of the many benefits to the person who manages his or her thoughts.
