Paying attention to yourself

Meditation implies a sense of “attending to” or “paying attention to” something. Whilst meditating, you pay attention to those dimensions of yourself that are usually not visible or observed – your own inner levels, lying deep within you. These deeper levels are more profound than the process of external life taking place around you, or the abilities of thinking, analyzing, daydreaming, experiencing emotions and taking actions. These are the levels of inner awareness that help you to relate to your own self and bring you in harmony with your own being.



Meditation involves inner attention that is quiet, concentrated and, at the same time, relaxed. There is nothing strenuous or difficult about creating this inner attention. In fact meditation is a process that is restful and relaxing for the mind.

In the beginning, the greatest difficulty is that the mind has not been trained to create this inner attention. With training and practice this focusing becomes a constant ability, always available to you.

It is very easy to begin the practice of meditation, as it all starts in the mind. You simply have to decide that you are going to take up meditation. Once you make that decision, you will find that you do not have to do anything different or demanding physically than what you have already been used to. Your lifestyle will not change but your life will!
