meditation for the people

enjoy

you want to meditate so that you can enjoy the peaceful serenity that comes from it...thereby dissolving the stresses of the day...there are other benefits too but that is the immediate one and the one that keeps meditators to continue doing so...

and here is a recipe for those that want to try...
it is really quite simple...no hocus pocus...
and you can develop your own personal mantra and style

all the mantra repetition does...really...is to develop a vortex of that particular vibration...through repetition...that vibration overtakes all the other vibrations that are linked to the thoughts and emotions that you are entertaining at the time...thus diminishing them...just enough so as to enjoy the feeling of peaceful bliss that comes from being able to quiet the mind like this...

now. as for the mantra...why not use mantras from Sanskrit...which is said to be the spiritual language...the world's oldest known language...10,000 years old...

also...repetition creates a staccato which forms a beat...if you will...

and add to that...if you want to apply the mantra to a simple tune of musical notes...sort of like a lullaby which rocks your mind to sleep...if you will...

so, friends...these are the simple principles for effective meditation

now...to pick a mantra...some Sanskrit syllables...which hold no particular meaning, but are recommended are... ya...om...la...
with just these three ...you can build for yourself...your own personal mantra...perhaps of 5 syllables...

for example...yalaomyaom...

see how that fits...
so repeat...pause a second...repeat...pause a second...etc etc

make a simple tune with it...your very own personal mantra!

as for how long and when to do it

probably first thing in the morning for 5 minutes...and then anytime you need to break down some stress during the rest of the day...
