How Often And Why Do I Need To Meditate?
As with anything else, the more we practice meditation, the more we feel the benefit
of what we are doing. We do need to practice meditation regularly because the habits
of:
i. identifying with our physical form,
ii. succumbing to mental and emotional negativity (in the form of waste and negative
thoughts) along with negativity in words and actions,
iii. becoming attached to the physical as well as the non-physical, and
iv. being dependent upon the experience of physical stimulation of any sort (from
e.g. food, movies, people, sports etc.) for happiness are extremely deep.
These habits have deepened over a period of many many births, because of repeating
them regularly, due to a lack of spiritual awareness. As a result, in the present
moment also we regularly and quite easily slip into these four habits.

Message for the day 30-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be prepared for obstacles is to remain cheerful under all circumstances.
Projection: Generally there is always a wish not to have to face any obstacles.
When we begin something new we usually have a thought to have things going perfectly
well. So when obstacles do come we are not prepared and we experience dissatisfaction
and sorrow.
Solution: Whenever we start something new we need to prepare our mind that
we are sure to be faced with obstacles. Along with it we also need to understand
that these obstacles actually teach us something new and it is only with such situations
we can learn and progress. When we have such thoughts we will be able to remain
cheerful under all circumstances.
