By
nature I was talkative, social and a happy person. The problem with
me was that I used to worry for trivial things. Even if the water
supply was late I would worry. If my son was late from school, I
would worry. I would worry though I was blessed with many things. I
was not able to enjoy those blessings in the real sense. Also I was a
little impatient. I was thinking how to overcome these problems in my
life, more particularly my personality.
One
day my son told me about meditation. He took me to a satsanga for
three days. In the beginning I was unable to meditate for a long
time. Initial ten to fifteen I would concentrate. Thereafter my mind
would waver here and there. Some unwanted thoughts would rush into my
mind. But I was determined to solve this problem. Whenever any
unwanted thought entered mind I would tell it to get out. I would
tell it that there is no place for you now and then continue
meditating.
Bad
thoughts kept on creeping in. But their intensity reduced with time.
Now they have almost stopped coming. Now I enjoy meditation. Nothing
in this world disturbs me. I never get worried for any problem which
crops up in my life. I don’t get stressed. My mind is calm and
quiet.
Meditation
has helped me to cleanse the body and mind. It has changed my life
for good. Such has been its impact upon life.
Like
meditation pranayama has also helped me. As children all of us would
breathe properly. But with adulthood we have forgotten this vital
skill. As a result of which, the ability to relax, which is strongly
influenced by our way of breathing has also been lost. Deep breathing
helps to purify the blood. When our blood becomes pure, the mind
functions optimally and the heart manifests caring and gentleness
more easily.
Meditation
and pranayma I am relaxed both physically and mentally. Meditation
and pranayma has improved me as a person. Physical relaxation
promotes mental relaxation and releases emotional tensions and
stress. Both meditation and pranayma has been immensely helpful to
me. They have given me good health and happiness. When I am happy I
can spread it to my family, friends and neighbours as well. Such has
been the impact of meditation and pranayama on my life.
Forgive
me, for I am unable to express the impact of meditation and pranayama
on my life. It is something to be experience. But I can say for sure
that it has touched me and my life in many unexpected ways and that
too for good. It has made me healthy and wise. Such has been the
impact of meditation on my life.
