here, now
Keep quiet, decide to not talk for some time.
Don’t think, simply decide to calm down and still all thoughts. It’ll happen.
Don’t move, keep your body entirely still as well. Breathe naturally.
With a relaxed determination this simple practice is all you need.
Be aware of the experience of being aware. – Rupert Spira
True meditation is simply becoming aware of us being aware. When the mind wanders, simply ask, ‘Am I aware?”, this should place us back into the ‘I AM’. Dwell in that…
Today I AM. Now, I AM.

Reality is never and nowhere more accessible than in the immediate moment of one’s own life. – Franz Kafka
Reality is what’s happening when we pay attention to it. Are we here, in the now?
Today I AM arriving here and now, right at the doorstep of Reality.

Even when the air currents are ascending, no bird can soar except by outstretched wings. – The Urantia Papers
This quote is inspiring on two fronts!
1) That there is a Universal (or Life) current which we can attach ourselves to, which will take us to wherever we need to go.
2) And that we must make the minimum effort required to participate in that Universal program!
To connect with this Life source meditation helps tremendously. Meditation Tip #2: Sit down (at least thrice a day or when you need to feel the calm), close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths. The breaths should be long drawn, held for a few seconds and then exhaled slowly. This relaxes the body and starts to relax the mind. Breathe naturally now. Put your full attention on your breath. Watch and experience the breath as it goes in/out. You might lose track and get lost in a thought. Notice this too. And then put your attention back on the breath. Practice for 5 minutes!
I AM ready to soar! I listen and respond, I stay humble and I serve. Life takes me where necessary. I have no worries. I just sail along…

The secret to meditation is to sit for 10 minutes and imagine you have all the time in the world. Do not be in a hurry! Just relax the body and the mind. – Namaste Now!
For most of us meditation seems like a huge challenge, something for which there’s no time to be found! Something that’s hard to do. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
Find just 5 or 10 minutes daily. Read something inspirational, relax the body and then the mind. Meditation and a peaceful-joy will eventually blossom…

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day. – Neale Donald Walsch
There are numerous definitions of meditation. One popular idea is that thoughts must cease for us to enter a meditative state. Certainly that could be classified as meditation; however meditation is also:
* Discovering and resting in the peace that resides within us
* Making direct contact with God
* Pray and make direct contact with God
* Seek inspiration, which appears in the form of sudden thoughts and ideas
* Do creative thinking and planning
