How Often And Why Do I Need To Meditate (Part 1)?
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.
(To be continued tomorrow…)

Message for the day 04-08-2014
-----------------------------------------
Truth is effective when it is combined with tact.
Projection: I usually react when something goes wrong. In the heat of the moment I give corrections and others don't seem to understand. Then I tend to become confused, as it is difficult to make a choice whether to leave the situation as it is or to prove my point to the others.
Solution: Unless truth is combined with tact I cannot make people realise their mistakes. When I find something going wrong, I need to wait for the right time for saying what I have to. I also need to tell it in a way that the other person can understand. Only then will my words have their impact on others.
