The Practice Of Meditation As with anything else, the more we practice meditation, the more we feel the benefit of what we are doing. We do need to practice meditation regularly because the habits of: i. identifying with our physical form, ii. succumbing to mental and emotional negativity (in the form of waste and negative thoughts) along with negativity in words and actions, iii. becoming attached to the physical as well as the non-physical, and iv. being dependent upon the experience of physical stimulation of any sort (from e.g. food, movies, people, sports etc.) for happiness are extremely deep. These habits have deepened over a period of time, because of repeating them regularly, due to a lack of spiritual awareness. As a result, in the present moment also we regularly and quite easily slip into these four habits. We regularly and quite easily slip into four main negative habits. So meditation is not only sitting in a quiet corner, and connecting with the self and the Supreme, at a couple of fixed times during the day, but it is also the way to gently remember and remind ourselves, many times in a day, that we as well as others, are souls or spiritual beings not physical beings, by detaching ourselves from actions and also while being involved in actions. These reminders given to the self over a period of time become natural and prevent us from succumbing to these four habits. Given below is a basic meditation, which you could use to remind yourself regularly during the day: I have a body but this body is not me... I have thoughts but these thoughts are not me ... I have feelings but these feelings are not me ... I have attitudes but these attitudes are not me ... I have emotions but these emotions are not me ... I have beliefs but these beliefs are not me ... I perform many actions through my sense organs, but these sense organs are not me... I play many roles but I am not my roles... I experience joy or sorrow through my sense organs, but these experiences are not me ... I am a soul - a being of energy, which is neither created nor can be destroyed, and my original and true nature is one of peace, love, joy and power... With lots of love and regards s. murali muscat
