When you continuously expand your mind to go beyond, you will be in the present moment!

.Reading time 4 minutes.

Duration: 10 minutes

The moment you perceive anything, the moment you are able to think about it, it becomes past.

For example, in the beginning, when you are told to think of something that is beyond your thoughts, you may think of the entire solar system. But the moment you think about the entire solar system, you have already made that into one more thought! So now, drop that. Read More

When you understand that all the reflections have the same one Source, you can relax in the peace.

.Reading time 2 minutes.

Just as you see the one sun reflected on the water as many suns, in the same way see the one real Source and be free from all types of bondage.

Duration: 11 minutes

If you keep ten water pots outside in the sun, you will see the reflection of the sun as ten suns in the ten water pots. If you break every pot one by one, the number of suns will come down. Suddenly if you break the last pot, there is no reflection at all, only the sun. There is only one sun, but there are so many reflections in the water. In the same way, there is only one superconsciousness, one Source, having many reflections in all of us! Read More

At least once in a day, try to keep everything out for just ten minutes, you will see the tremendous peace and silence happening inside you

.Reading time 1 minute.

Keep everything out of your inner space – whatever you heard, saw or read. Keep everything out, and see what happens to your inner space.

Witness the wandering mind and relax into the real you

.Reading time 1 minute.

Duration: 21 minutes

Close your eyes. Sit in a very relaxed way.

There is no need to control the mind.

If your mind is going somewhere outside, dwelling on things other than you, it is called external wandering. Just remember you are there and your mind is wandering. The moment you remember you, you will remember your name, or some idea about you, that is internal wandering. Read More

When you feel you want to criticize some person, try this.

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Before criticizing, discover a positive alternative for whatever criticism you wish to give the person. If you are not able to find a positive alternative, wait. It is useless to give a non-constructive feedback to someone. Get the positive alternative and then present the problem as well as the suggested solution to the person. Then your criticism will be useful and constructive.

Zazen meditation technique

Meditation technique to increase awareness

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Normally we don’t chew and eat food, we just gulp it down our throats. We hardly taste the food.

Now whenever you eat, eat with awareness. Taste it completely. Become the taste.

When you really feel the sweetness of the food, you can feel it not only in the mouth but also in your entire body.

While drinking water, feel the coolness of the water as it goes down your throat and into your stomach. Close your eyes and drink it slowly, enjoying every sip. Feel the coolness intensely, not only in the mouth but also in the entire body.
