Meditation has always been a source of intrigue for me. To be honest, I've always been a skeptic. My impression of meditation hovers between the mystical and the gullible. No way was I going into it.
How wrong could I be!
I read Charles Haanel's book, The Master Key System and he emphasised the need for Mental Housekeeping. Our minds are often cluttered with too much inputs and there is a need to do some housekeeping. This is often an area of major neglect. As our minds get overburdened with too much thoughts, both positive and negative, its efficiency invariably declines. There is a need for some detoxification.
You may be familiar with the Defragmentation tool used for PCs. It's in a sense a housekeeping tool for computers. What it ultimately does is that it makes the computer function more efficiently.
Our minds could do with some defragmentation and I would recommend a tool called meditation. Not of the Yogic, lotus leaf kind.
Here's what you can do:
1. Find a quiet place; it could be your room, the park or the beach.
2. Find a comfortable sitting position, then keep still for 15 minutes.
3. Close your eyes and shut out all thoughts.
Do that 3 times a week and see if it makes you better.
I did. And I now swear by it.
Om.......
