Meditation

Meditation is the most powerful spiritual practise which enhace ones life dramatically.Each session is a stepping-stone for the next meditation. Sometimes it becomes an addictive activity as one tends to fall in the trap of overexcitement and haste which results in not being able to meditate blissfully.
There are certain rules which one must keep in mind while doing this activity.
The first rule to keep in mind is "do not expect" - people often hold notions and ideas about the experiences of meditation from self or others.Instead they should keep their mind calm and cool without any expectations.
Secondly,"do not compare" your past experiences of meditating with the new one as you will get the new experience of doing it. Regard each session as a unique one.
Thirdly,do not haste or hurry while doing the meditation..Think that "I have all the time in the world, "I am born onlyto do this", "My work in this life is just to meditate", "I am here to know myself", "God please reveal yourself to me".
The last thing to keep in mind is "to breathe as slowly as possible". Take 5 to 7 seconds to inhale, take another another 5 seconds to hold your breathe and exhale to 5 yo 7 seconds. In case one does it in for 2 to 4 seconds it is another way of knowing one is in haste.
