An ordinary hindrance to a
mindful meditation is restlessness, sleepiness, lack of belief, desire, emotional
dependence, aversion, hatred, anger, and passion. I repeat it is an ordinary obstacle, you can
keep practicing it until you achieve the fruit, therefore never leave the daily
practice. It will entirely change the notion of happiness and sorrow, pain
and pleasure, gain and loss, praise and blame, fame and disrepute which is ever
present in one’s life. Mindful
meditation helps to lessen the talk and listen more J it augments the sense of love, compassion and
helps to remain non-hypercritical. Our
brain and heart also considered as the shrine of kindness, transformations do not
mean outer appearance, it is the way of perception, insight, and awareness, being
kind means lift the fallen, restore the broken, and heal the pains. Meditation enhances positive thinking,
kindness, generosity, and happiness. It
removes the three poisons such as anger, greed, and ignorance. It purifies sense organs, it improves generosity,
morality, self-discipline, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom and
insight, always remember that nothing can be done about yesterday and tomorrow,
therefore today is the right day to live and love!

Beautiful teachings of Lord Buddha
One beggar happened to meet
Lord Buddha and asked ‘Why I am so poor?’
Lord Buddha says “ You are
not poor at all. You have not learned
the habit of giving and you are not willing to give away.”
Beggar “ I have nothing to
give away. I am born as poor.”
Lord Buddha says “You have
things to give, not less at all. You have
face to smile, you have eyes to enjoy visuals, look at others with compassion and
keep yourself happy. You have a mouth to
converse with people, you can speak with humility, kindness, compassion, love. You can motivate people and pacify them with
sweet words. You have a heart; you can
be open, sincere, truthful and kind. You
have a body to utilize it for labor and even help others. Therefore you are not
poor at all.”
Mindful meditation - slow breathing techniques
Mindful meditation is an
effective relaxation technique that relieves mental as well as physical ailments,
it brings inner peace, happiness, a sense of well-being and free from
sufferings. It boosts self-confidence,
increases insight, improves breathing, reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, it
gives self- control and self- awareness as well.
This practice does not cost anything other than a few minutes of your
valuable time; in return, it will bring plenty of benefits to your mental and
physical health. Choose to sit in a
place where you feel comfortable, keep your spine erect, soften your gaze and
close your eyes, concentrate on your breath, you can sense the slightest
movement of the abdomen, let the mind wander and label it sound, thought or
feeling, and concentrate on your slow breathing.
This breathing technique will
give you lots of benefits, such as selflessness, self-mastery, selfless service,
awareness relieves the mind from a cluster of thoughts, creates a sense of generosity, a sense of non-attachment, peace, and serenity, and humility. Morning meditation helps to access stillness without
much effort; mid-day meditation helps to reactive the brain and sharpens the senses,
late day meditation helps to easily fall asleep, it helps to meet the anger
with sympathy, contempt with compassion, cruelty with kindness, grimaces with
smiles, it also helps to forgive and
forget about fault finders. Happiness
and Love is our nature, therefore spread happiness and love!

Devi
Kausalya asked Rama ‘Did you kill Ravan’ when Rama returned after fourteen years
of exile from the Kingdom of Ayodhya. Rama’s astounding reply was ‘
Mahagyani who is highly scholastic, Mahaprathapi who has great splendor,
Mahabalashali who is most powerful, Akhandapandit who has vast knowledge and
wise, Mahan Shivabhakth, who is an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva,
composed the marvelous verses praising the splendor of Lord Shiva in
Shivathandava Sthothram..... The mighty Lankesh was killed by his Ego.”
