Back from hectic weekend with some friend visiting and all the preparations that go with it. It was nice to have somebody come to reminise the old times. Well this guy came around that time that I came in and helped me during that time but then we kept in touch for sometime.
Started reading Deepak chopra's The seven secrets for affluence, and remided me of the trancedental meditation that was taught way back by a guru from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's establishment. The trancedental meditation is as follows. The guruji selects a kind of one letter sanskrit word and I am not sure if everybody gets the same. But now I read in some other book that it could be anything and it really does not matter what you say.
You just sit down in some place where you will not be disturbed for 20minutes to start with in any position but recommend sitting because you might fall asleep during the meditation which is not forbidden. But you should not have had any food for the past 4 hours and ideally this should be done as soon as you wake up before your daily routines. You can set an alarm for 20minutes and then sit down close your eyes and slowly issue the word into your brain/thought. You mind might keep wandering and try to pull towards the word you are thinking. The easient way to do this is to synchronize your breathing with the word and it should not be forced but just floated through and it will assimilate there. As you keep repeating this mantra, as they call it, you will slowly dragged into a trance and I have gone to sleep so many times during this process which is okay.
You do the above for few days and once you are doing it everyday and you believe that you are no longer sleeping then you an introduce certain thoughts that will happen(although I have not verified it) but that was what the guruji told me and now Deepak Chopra alludes. This thinking could be either to get more money or for better health and they say that you will be able to attain the same. I am making a resolution to continue this aborted meditation in the coming days. Let us see!
