Meditation is not only an activity or a hobby. It is a attitude of human being. If you think you are "doing " meditation by sitting alone, by closing your eye and think again and again on a particular thing or concentrating on a particular thought.Meditation is not something that you do.
If you live with a clarity. then meditation will awaken. Meditation is an attitude. You are always with yourself, meaning that you are expressing your true self. When you are close to yourself then you are in the meditative mode..So anything which can bring you will go farther away from yourself.
When you sit to meditate, don't do anything, just be there, quiet with yourself. Be present, feel the environment, the atmosphere, just enjoy your company.To awaken your meditative nature, there are certain kriya and one powerful kriya is that you observe your breath. If you cannot observe your breath, then count your breath.Make it your permanent habit from this moment. Then you will never spend a day without counting hundred breath. The moment you start this activity with in 10 minutes you will feel a change with in yourself. Then don't make a effort to breath, let it be natural. Just count it. Counting your 100 breaths will awaken your meditative nature. Slowly you will start feeling that your life is becoming a meditation. What does that means? It means your life will be full of power, creativity and strength.
The environment is full of vibrations. When vibrations touch your system, your system transforms them into thoughts. Thought is powerful. In our entire life, we never think, what we call thinking is not actually thinking, it is just repeating or parroting. If we really knew how to think and what to think, we could create paradise. The power to think is the power of creation. Whatever we are now, we created that life with out thoughts, with our imaginations, with our dreams. Whatever you imagine that becomes. Whatever you think, that becomes.If I know consciously how to use my thoughts how to use my thinking power, then we make our lives as we want them to be.
If you pause a little, you will realise we have freedom to think but we are not free to think.We are living in frame, society, system, culture, religion, philosophy - we are so boxed in that we are unable to think. Since we are not free, we need to first get liberated! Only with wisdom can we think. And wisdom comes with consciousness by cultivating a meditative attitude.
All matter is energy,energy is consciousness, all force is consciousness. Strength comes when you are positive, you feel healthy, when you are destructive you start feeling different, you start feeling weak. When you thoughts are healthy, positive, you start feeling weak. When we are sincere, we feel strong, when we are not sincere, we start feeling very weak.
Do not confuse positive thought with ego. Such thoughts relate only to yourself. Positive thoughts are when you feel positive not just about yourself but about everyone around you. That again is born only with a meditative attitude.
So the first step for any kind of meditation is to develop the right attitude through watching your breath and slowly progressing to discover your inner self.
