Best time for meditation ? Often people asked me this question and I always told them that it depends upon at what level of meditation practice they are. If you are just a beginner it is very important for you to make a set routine for meditation. In the initial phase, it is important to assign a regular time frame for your meditation practice. This time can be at any hours of the day-  depending upon your lifestyle and timing of job.

In the age of Outsourcing and Call Centers, the concept of sleep a night and work during day is no longer valid. Today millions of people work during night shift and  reach home in the morning. For all these people the advice to meditate early in the morning is of no use. As such. going by the global patterns of work, it is not feasible to suggest a particular time period for meditation which is suitable for all.

Then what is the solution ?  Simple and easy. The best time for meditation is when you wake up from sleep and after doing all essential chores (Cleaning your teeth/using toilet etc), you have a fresh mind and body. For most of us, this time will be early in the morning. If you do some Workout or Yoga, then you should meditate after your physical exercises (not before that). The reason being that a brief regimen of physical exercise will make your body more relaxed and flexible. As such you will be able to get  more focused and comfortable in your meditation practice.

Depending upon your work-shift, you can choose at what time of the day, you can meditate properly.

I hope the above will help.

A guest post by By Father Peter Bowes

Many say they believe in God, but believing in God is not the same as having a direct experience of God. Direct means first-hand, not second-hand. It is not hearsay or conjecture. Direct means something happens to you. You go through something, and then you can say you have had an experience. Throughout history, belief in God has resulted in people gathering for worship in churches, mosques, and temples. All over the world people still congregate based on similar beliefs about God. But how many can really say they know God? [Read more →]

We all are parts of a big cosmic whole. Often in our busy involvement in the daily tasks of life, we forget about this eternal truth.

One of the easiest and most effective way to reconnect with the divine source is to spend some time with nature. We all are part of the nature, yet for most of us nature has become a sort of alien subject. In our concrete home, we seldom or never care to look at the sky. To look at the rain drops, to experience the cool breeze, to walk on the grass, to observe the greenery, to touch a tender flower- all these tiny tasks can result in an instant connection with the nature. However, how many of us try to connect with nature this way.

If you really want to deepen your meditation practice, you should give nature a try. Just do something daily to ensure a direct connect with some part of the nature. Try to touch and feel at least some part of the nature be it earth, water, wind, plants, trees, grass or any animal.

We all have a limited life span on earth. None of us will live forever. In this short time span, we should try to increase our awareness towards this phenomenon called life. An increased awareness will result in a higher consciousness.

The rules of spiritual life are not at all complicated. They are very simple and easy. We only need to just take a pause and think: where are we going? Are we doing something meaningful in our life – something that will have a lasting impact on our lives? Are we living a life of quality or it is just a life of quantitative abundance with no real charm ?

A few months ago I read a very interesting title of a book: Go Kiss the World.

This week’s meditation message is: Go Kiss the Nature.

Life is small and we all shall die one day. Yet we never think about this stark reality and keep living like robots. The message from of the universe is :

Go Slow.

Do what you Love.

You are not here for eternity.

I request you to kindly read the following life changing speech given by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer, during his Commencement address at Stanford University on June 12, 2005. This is one of the most inspiring and deeply moving speech I ever came acroos in my life.

‘You’ve got to find what you love,’ Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? [Read more →]
