Our health is based on the relationship between the body, the mind and the spirit – and the health of each part – and the body itself is only an integral part of the overall happiness equation. This holistic principle recognizes that stress-free and happy minds and a prosperous spiritual life are the main factors in our health. Just as stress and negative emotions erode our vitality, the practice of meditation will also unleash a new positive vitality – including inspiration, happiness, peace – into every part of our existence, creating the best conditions for vitality and health. . Through meditation, even our sleep patterns can be changed – the quality is improved and the number is reduced. More time and energy have come to our lives!

Everything starts from the heart

The way we feel and work in our outer lives depends to a large extent on our inner life – our happiness, confidence, emotions, and consciousness. We usually don't have the ability to change events in the outside world, but we can change the way we react to them. When we are happy and calm, difficulties and problems are easily dealt with – the same difficulties can become nightmares when we are anxious or unhappy. Our entire experience of life is dyed by our own consciousness – our life is the creation of our thoughts! Meditation balances the inner and outer worlds and brings out the bright colors of our nature – happiness, serenity, love, strength. These emerging positive qualities reshape our experience of life, because everything starts inside.

The works of all great sages and pathfinders for centuries have shared many recurring ideas and truths – one of which is the wisdom and beauty of the human soul. Sri Chinmoy describes the soul as our “inner pilot” – this is our highest self, our truest self, our inner living guide. The more we listen to our souls, the more prosperous and prosperous our outer life is – the wisdom of the soul is most easily felt and experienced in the silence and stillness of meditation. Everything in life – decision making, problem solving, seeking satisfaction and purpose – internal pilots show us the way we can learn to gain it through deepening practice.

Special commitment of the soul

The great saints also tell us that each soul is unique and has something very special on earth. By listening to our “inner pilots”, we begin to feel and understand what the deeper purpose of our lives is, and then our external life becomes more and more in harmony with this knowledge. The discovery and realization of the special promise of the soul has brought us great happiness.

Power of the mind

Many of the techniques used in learning meditation have a common theme – harnessing and concentrating the power of thinking. There are many by-products and benefits of this effort – the ability to focus quickly, enhance memory, and rest in meditation thinking, enabling us to achieve a deeper, more intuitive, more creative and inspiring life.

Heart power

Sri Chinmoy is very focused on the spirit of pursuing happiness, because it has our most powerful spiritual qualities. The broadening and deepening of love; the sympathy for others; the unity of life; the wisdom of the heart; the happiness of a desirelessness, like the fragrance of an inner flower, spreading into our lives – a waiting to be discovered treasure house! The sunset mind over the ocean is a selfless, ignorant consciousness. Living in the "heart" is one of the secrets of true happiness. One of the main forms of yoga – devotional yoga – is also concentrated in the spiritual mind. Here, the power of devout love points to God and sees divinity in everything.

Peaceful life

Meditation will make you a very peaceful person. This calm is achieved through growing self-acceptance and self-confidence, as well as a deeper inner balance from our existence. This peace is not a passive and fragile thing – it is very powerful and full of energy. This inner peace will enable you to transcend success, failure, positive and negative life – it leaves us with a firm balance and calm feeling in the ever-changing destiny and suffering of life. The people who develop inner peace are very strong.

wake

Meditation is the awakening of our true nature, the spiritual path of enlightenment, self-realization, and unity with God. This is why people should always be grateful for the urge to meditate – we consciously begin the great journey of the core awakening of human life.
