Be A Meditator- Living each moment completely

We have come across phrases like, "I have to do it now!", "Now or never". Such phrases are indicative of the present moment. What happens when a realisation takes place that I have to do it now? We suddenly leave everything and get charged to take action. Like the lion in the infographic is coming charging to jump across to the other cliff. He is not thinking about whether he will be able to jump across or not. He is living each moment completely. Meditation trains us to live in the present moment completely. When we start living in the present moment, the quality of life changes. Keep Meditating

When we reach harmony within, we can create harmony with others .

When we begin our meditational journey, we begin to uncover all the disharmonies within ourselves. But as we continue and try to understand the causes of disharmony deeply, not giving in, to blame, not giving into resignation, but focusing intensely on understanding, we begin to notice how the disharmonies are converting into harmony. With deep understanding, when we change ourselves, we start to harmonise with the world and universe. Keep Meditating

Presence is the greatest Gift one can give to another Person

Be it a child, a partner, or a friend, giving a person unconditional presence is a gift of immense value to social beings like humans. Give attention to a child and the child will immediately blossom. But in order to be present with others, we have to be present with ourselves. It is possible to be present when everything is going well, but the challenge is to be present through the thick and thin of relationships. This requires practice, it requires the ability to treat thoughts as such - temporary influences on the canvas of consciousness. When we become meditative, we operate from a deeper place and thus gain the steadiness to share our presence with others.
