MAY 21, 26.. MEDITATION..

MEDITATION..

Beginning with my first trip to India on October the 31st, 1990 until I left India to return home May 17th, 1991, and continuing into my many other trips to India, I have visited, sometimes staying for periods of time, many Indian Ashrams.

Ashrams in India are traditional spiritual hermitages or retreats dedicated to yoga, meditation, and self-inquiry to study meditation. My Ashram visits were quite a journey. 

We celebrate World Meditation Day on May 21 every year.

In The Rooms of Recovery it is said..

Prayer is talking to God.

Meditation is listening to God.

Let’s see what this NATIONAL TODAY Holiday has to say about Meditation.

The holiday seeks to create awareness about meditation and its benefits, especially in our busy world of constant movement. Meditation itself is a practice that has been traced to ancient times, as far back as 3000 B.C., when it was referenced in ancient Indian texts. 

Some scholars believe that meditation may be as old as humanity itself, stating that even the Neanderthals might have had meditative capacities.

The practice includes using techniques such as mindfulness or focusing on an object, thought, or activity to achieve an emotionally calm and stable state. Today, meditation has transcended past stereotypes and entered mainstream culture in the West.

Meditation also has roots in ancient China, as far back as the third and sixth centuries, with the writings of Laozi, an ancient Chinese philosopher.

It is estimated that about 9.3 million adults in the U.S. use meditation.

New research shows that 20 minutes of guided meditation has a positive impact. Experts advise that the best time for meditation is first thing in the morning.

For reasons that I do not understand, after an exceptional visit to my eye doctor last Tuesday the 19th, my recovery from the 15th injection in my left eye has been far more difficult than it has been after any of the other injections. The medicine injected was a different medication. Finally, after 1 – 1/2 days, and resting my eyes for long naps and flooding them with eye drops, my left eye is actually feeling pretty good.

Last night was the final episode of Survivor Season 50. We have “paused” our YouTube T.V.
