Meditation is a practice for experiencing relaxation, enhancing spiritual growth, and experiencing God's presence within. The meditation procedure is very simple and can be followed by anyone with tremendous benefits. It is good for people of all ages. It improves our intelligence, enhances creativity, improves memory, strengthens our immune system, and results in satisfying relationships. It is useful to meditate at least twice a day for approximately twenty minutes daily.

Choose a place where you can sit calmly without any distractions. Sit in any posture that is comfortable. Keep our spine erect so that the flow of energy is upwards. Then close your eyes and gaze at the point between and behind the eyebrows and relax. There is no need to force to see any thing or try to make anything happen. Thoughts will come and will subside in time. Do not try to stop thoughts but simply bring your attention back to concentrating at the point between the eyebrows. When you sit for meditation, do not be disturbed if you cannot still your minds immediately. Become aware of the inhalation and exhalation. Let the thoughts come and go, and soon you will realize that your mind is becoming calm. You can continue meditation by focusing your attention on your breath, mantra, or by simply holding attention at the point between the eyebrows. The waves of the mind will subside as you continue with your meditation practice.

As we open our minds and hearts to God during meditation, we will realize that God's blessings are already flowing in our lives. The practice of meditation makes us inwardly calm and inspires us to love and serve others selflessly, and rely on God alone for all our good. If we pray to God and meditate on Him sincerely, we will never feel any limitations. God's presence also bestows on us His added gifts because when we have God, we already have everything else that we need. When we constantly direct our thoughts towards God in meditation, God meets us and bestows on us the gift of His Presence that alone satisfies our souls.

When we get up in the morning, we meditate for few minutes. Then again, before we become busy with our daily activities, we meditate again. We meditate to remember and know God, leaving behind all our worldly concerns. We practice meditation to go to God for God alone so that His grace opens our hearts and purifies us so that we can see God face to face. In the beginning, it is enough to meditate for a short time. As our practice deepens, we can increase our meditation time. Any routine tasks that we do with japa (repeating a mantra or a divine name inwardly) is also a form of meditation that cleanses us to receive God's grace.

We approach our meditation with love, devotion, and surrender. Through concentration on higher centers (Third-eye center or heart center), our energies withdraw from the senses, and we become open to God's grace that helps us to become absorbed in God's presence that lifts us, calms us, and brings joy, order, and harmony in our lives.

When we have the inner conviction that God is real and is closer than our breath, we will be inspired to meditate more often and longer and take advantage of the free time whenever possible to meditate and practice the presence of God. We will prioritize meditation over other leisure activities. Meditation offers us an opportunity to remember God and get in touch with our true Self which is the Self of all. As the thought processes cease, and we become silent within, God's light shines in the pool of our own minds, leads us to our true home in God, and free us from various worldly ailments and challenges.
