Osho’s Pre-enlightenment

Mindfullness meditation is the fruitful garden where all the spiritual seeds start growing. This practice of treading the path of inner peace is now widely recommended by doctors and scientists as a very good tool for healing.  Healing meditations can reduce stress and improve the immune system so that the body can heal. Many people see it as a type of prayer or as worship. Meditation exercises help to increase awareness of self and it leads to a state of consciousness that brings serenity, bliss and clarity. It is a means of  transforming the mind. It has some real great benefits, but it’s not about just closing your eyes and feeling relaxed. Its much more than sitting in the lotus position that seems so typical of many yoga meditations. The best meditation is one which gently leads the individual to become fully aware of the beginning or source of everything. When the individual knows that he or she and the source are not separated the only thing which can occur is a good thing.Meditation is a state of mind. It is a natural state, the same same way as when we fall asleep, we enter it and we dream. Ever wanted to know the secrets of meditation? Would you like to find out the secrets to meditating? Here are some of the secrets ….Enjoy! Some Secrets of Meditation: Knowing the true purpose of meditating: The purpose  is to bring us back to ourselves. As we become healthier, happier and realise our true nature through self awareness, the other benefits of meditative practice begin to flow naturally. You will have a greater ability to concentrate, a clearer focus, more access to your intuition as well as greater access to unconscious resources. Knowing the distraction doesn’t mean it’s a failure: Meditation is not something that you have to work hard for or force yourself to completely focus on for long periods of time. Preventing thinking can only give a negative impact on the meditative practice. Whenever we become lost or confused while meditating, weacknowledge those thoughts, surround them with compassion and gently return the attention back to meditating. You can apply this as many times as a distraction occurs. After, a while the mind stops playing its games and becomes calmer, naturally. Insight alone is not enough: Having an insight, although often breathtaking and and quite subtly powerful, will not change our lives nor transform them alone. We need to take action and follow through on those insights. Meditation helps us by benefitting us with perspectives and clarity of thought. Our sense of inner guidance may become stronger,but unless we act on that guidance we will never achieve the noticeable changes, that we truly desire in our life. This means that we have to be persistent in requesting the assistance of the unconscious in a very clear way. You find yourself magnetically drawn towards your dreams with an enchanting and fascinating impulse. Learning to let go: Learn to trust your unconscious, your inner wisdom. Onceyou have made your request, don’t worry about  how you are going to fulfill your dreams and get what you truly want in life.  Most changes will happen naturally. Many people find out that their stress and destructive habits have dropped away with minimal conscious effort. This can be achieved by “letting go” and realising that spiritual growth is a natural process which is powered by parts of ourselves which know better than we tend to understand and comprehend consciously. As we let go consciously and gain and receive more input from these inner, deeper parts, we are learning to trust this inner peaceful, contented feeling, the feeling which we feel safe and secure in. It can often be a feeling of excitement that something amazing is about to happen.
