In life, everything goes back to the outside world: our senses, the others work, romance and nothing brings us back inside ourselves. Understanding this means understanding the value of meditation.
It is us and only us, we can find peace, deep relaxation, peace and true love.
These qualities can not come from money, social recognition or love partner.
Basically, we all know, but we forget so often!
Please understand that meditation has nothing to do with the life of a monk or ascetic who seeks to cut the world as is too often perceived. This is not a creed or religion. You do not need to change your life for you to open meditation. Meditation is a quality in you that is simply a party or otherwise stated an internal vigilance and mindfulness in the present moment.
What is meditation?
There are many different ideas, even contradictory about what meditation but the basic approach is the need for the meditator to understand the nature of his mind rather than fight with him.

There are many meditation techniques that help the beginner to learn and get in touch with his inner life: for example, Vipassana meditation, Zazen, the active Osho meditations, meditations Tantric Buddhist meditations, etc.. etc..
But the ultimate sense, meditation is a technique, it is an understanding, an awareness of what we really are.
The final understanding is often a long way off for us and that’s why techniques of meditation are necessary until the state of meditation has become not just a one-time experience but an intrinsic part of ourselves, while like breathing for example.
It is us and only us, we can find deep relaxation, peace and true love.

Most of the time we removed or dominated by our thoughts or feelings. It follows that we tend to believe that we are these thoughts, these emotions. Meditation is that state of Being, just being a pure experience without interference from the body or mind. It is a natural state that we have forgotten the access.
To meditate means “to become a witness, to simply observe the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations that are in us. It is a process no longer identify with the outer personality with the ego.
Meditation helps us simply no longer be a slave to this world of thoughts and emotions, but to become an observer, a silent witness who acquires the natural ability to know what is really its own kind.
Once we are free, spacious and quiet, life becomes more harmonious! If you feel comfortable, open to others, sensitive, more relaxed and quiet, then you’re on the right track!
