A) Research a practice that fits our lifestyle, and
B) Commit to that practice for the time it takes to realize those wonderful-sounding benefits.
Let's begin with some research:
There is a simple technique that could help you quiet your mind and allow you to experience “bliss consciousness”---a state of consciousness that regularly delivers the feeling of inner quietness and fulfillment.
Week after week in West Hollywood, folks are completing a 4-day course to learn this technique and they are now realizing the benefits that come with dropping into bliss consciousness for only 20 minutes, twice a day. They joined the 6 million + other people from all walks of life who have learned this technique in the last 50 years.
It's an ancient practice of transcending thought and dropping into pure consciousness called Vedic Meditation.
The first step in transformation is acknowledging that we can’t do the same thing day after day and expect different results.
If you feel like your mind is always jumping from one thought to another, and you feel like you would be horrible at meditation, then you are a perfect candidate for learning this technique.
Why? Because you don’t have to try to stop your mind from thinking (“trying” is actually what keeps the mind active, even with the eyes closed).
There is a way to be effortless in meditation and use the natural tendency of your mind to de-excite and fall silent. And that's what I teach people how to do.
These days, many of us fantasize about how a dedicated meditation practice could benefit our lives in the most profound ways---if only we had the time.
Well, Vedic meditation is a technique for people like us: householders---people with busy lives and things to do. Therefore, the technique is only meant to be practiced in short spurts a couple times a day.
In other words, this is NOT a technique for monk-types who want to meditate all day long. And because you are probably not a monk, then you are a perfect candidate to learn what I have to teach you.
Ironically, meditation ends up being that kind of practice where at first we have to make time to fit it in to our busy schedules. But after noticing the amount of clarity and true happiness we get from it, we look back and wonder how we ever managed to go so long without it.
With much love and gratitude,
Light
