Meditation - The Best Investment

All through our lives we invest in many different things - education, work, careers, families, health and more. Whilst this is good and beneficial we must never forget to invest in ourselves too.

We must invest our time, energy and effort in making our inner world a better place. We must learn to develop a positive mind, a peaceful heart and a balanced perspective on life.

Meditation offers us a tried and tested path to making our inner life beautiful. It also offers a way to enjoy our external world from a place of balance.

It is often said that formal education will make you a living but self-education will make you a life. Meditation gives you a deep understanding of yourself and also the world you live in. Meditation gives you a self-education that makes life more beautiful in all ways.

Meditation allows you to travel your journey in a happy, content and positive manner, no matter what life brings.

Invest in yourself - learn to meditate and you will find that meditation becomes your greatest treasure.

Meditate To Celebrate Life

We live life - in this we have no choice. The choice we do have is about HOW we live our life. Some people go through life struggling, fighting, barely getting by, whilst others learn to live it with joy and happiness. Why is this so?

Enlightened masters have said that our life is the greatest gift available to us - we must celebrate it! The only way to do this is through wisdom, which allows us to make life what we wish it to be.

The wisdom of meditation and the tools that meditation training offers are essential for making life a celebration. Meditation gives us a way to change life or to accept what we can't change, yet be happy and peaceful with it.

Meditation allows us to live life from a place of peace, power and positive thinking.

Nothing is more valuable than meditation.

Living the Life I was Born to! – by Mary Jo Pokorski

Mary Jo Pokorski

Never before in my life did I fully comprehend how blessed I was to be learning meditation than when I undertook my Meditation Teacher Training Program at SoulCentre under Vikas Malkani and then got the opportunity to spread this wisdom to others.

Taking the plunge on the journey of meditation was quite a challenge. Honestly, I thought myself to be reasonably happy in my life, but deep within, I knew I was overly sensitive, just hoping for the best and fearing any blows that life would bring. I had been fooling myself to believe I could keep everything under control, when in reality, I was growing increasingly disquieted and unfulfilled.

I wasn’t interested in committing to sitting in silence for 30 minutes and wondered what I was supposed to do with my mind in that time: relax? Think about something? Not think about anything? Yet, Vikas had told me many times that meditation would change my life, so I finally said ‘yes’ and booked my place on his beginners program called ‘Meditation Made Simple’.

I came to class armed with misconceptions and doubt, not to mention my negative past experiences, but after the first class my eyes were opened to a basic and crystal clear understanding of what meditation was and was not.  We were given different techniques that achieved different effects, a lot of wisdom to open our minds and space to practice what we had learned.

I came away from Meditation Made Simple with all I would ever need to be happy and yet, that first taste of meditation stirred something deep in me that I hadn’t noticed before. My sense of unrest quietened and I was happier which was wonderful. But something more, and truly amazing happened - My sense of living an unfulfilling life started to change into an understanding that there was so much more to life than just ‘living it out’ in a mundane way. My restlessness became a budding desire to accomplish something meaningful with my life. Meditation was showing me that there is purpose within us and that training the mind was the path to get there. Vikas was opening my eyes to who I was, to the working ways of life, and I loved it.

This brought me to the next level of ‘Meditation in Action’ with Vikas, where I got the opportunity to solidify my practice and expand the study of the self. Initially, this solidifying seemed tedious to me who was avid to know more and to grow. But I soon realized a crucial aspect of this growth was to make sure our bases were strong. This step reinforced the essential need for meditation in me. It helped me establish mediation in my day to day life and reconnect to the wisdom which would carry my life forward. Here I learned to trust my teacher more deeply, I learned to accept he had chosen to do things in a certain way for a reason, and that it was for our benefit without a doubt. My life evolved; I grew more peaceful and stronger in the knowledge that I was investing in myself. In a more practical way, I was living life more akin to what it should be to be - genuine and with meaning. 

Once this was complete, I was ready to commit to the final step in my journey and take the ‘Masters of Meditation’ class with Vikas. This course blew my mind away more than anything else I have ever done. Vikas Malkani opened us yet again to some of life’s great secrets, or perhaps, it was only then that I finally understood what he had been sharing with us all along: the secrets of a life lived in joy, freedom and power, all repeated in different ways and in more depth along the way.

His classes on meditation were a masterpiece. I had fallen in love with life as it could and should be, and I would never go back. My only option was to go forward and share what had transformed my life, with others, which I now do as a Meditation Teacher certified by and teaching under the loving guidance of Vikas Malkani.

I will be eternally grateful to him for opening my eyes and heart.

Become the Change You Wish to See

As the first group of SoulCentre Certified Meditation Teachers comes near the conclusion of their training, I want to share the experiences of another wonderful woman who is soon going to touch and transform many others through meditation.

Inis is an inspiration to all who have known her even for a short time – her positivity and inner strength shines through for all to see. As her teacher, I can certainly say without doubt that she has been a great student to me during her meditation training… and I am certain she will inspire many others with her example.

Here is Inis-Janine Klinger in her own words….

I am a business consultant and coach from Germany with more than 20 years of experience. I lead an international consulting company with two branches, in Europe and Singapore. We specialize in change management & coaching. Since I moved to Singapore, my world became much more complex with a heavy workload; traveling between Europe and Asia, running the company and working as a consultant & coach.  For a couple of years since then, I felt more stressed, sometimes close to burn out, and I lost my focus. My mind was always active but not where I wanted it to be.

Thus I thought meditation could be helpful, and I found SoulCentre as the best resource to learn meditation. Vikas, my meditation teacher, is great and he gives me amazing support so I can get the best out of meditation. I am always impressed about his enlightened wisdom. Today, after almost one year of meditation, I feel much less stressed and more in control of my life despite the same workload. 

Through the wisdom of meditation I learnt from Vikas, I realized why I felt so exhausted and everything became so easy. Now I can see the limitation of all the change management tools I was working with earlier in my projects. The companies who wanted to have something changed or integrated didn’t realize that they need to be the change they wanted to see in their company.

With this wonderful experience I decided to become a meditation teacher with SoulCentre under the training program run by Vikas. With my new wisdom and toolbox, I am much more aware of the ability to create a life of my choosing using my awareness. Since I discovered this for myself, I also became inspired to share this experience to support my customers, companies and coaching clients much better in becoming creators of their own success and fulfillment.

I learned so much about the wisdom of life from my training with Vikas, I am much more confident now because I have the tools to create successful projects that bring genuine change. The teams and individuals I work with in my sessions can feel the power of it too” says Inis

Inis, I am proud of you and the work you are undertaking. The world awaits you….

With love, light and a big hug to you,

Vikas

Can you see the truth inside them?

Here are some of the graduates of the HIGHER TEACHINGS OF YOGA group that took a deep dive with me into the spiritual wisdom of yoga on the 18/19 Feb 2012 at SoulCentre.

They came out re-new-ed!!! Believe it - they are NEW people now!

Many will go on to become ''SoulCentre Certified Meditation Teachers" soon, and help to spread this ancient knowledge to the far corners of the world. 

To those in the photo - Have I told you how proud of you I am? Proud, and grateful too for walking this path along with me.

I send you all my love, and a big VIKAS hug,

Vikas
