Foundation Course in Raja Yoga Meditation: An Introduction
Meditation is a powerful tool that we can all use to
great effect in our lives. It nourishes the soul, as food
nourishes the body. No matter what our religion or philosophical
background, meditation opens our hearts and minds to experience
an unlimited source of peace, love, wisdom and bliss. We then
become better able to live in harmony with one another and with
nature's laws. In today's uncertain times, meditation is a means
of enabling God's healing power to restore us to wholeness.
Meditation calms our mind and body and replenishes our mental
and emotional energy. It is a process of re-discovering,
enjoying and using the positive energy already latent within us.
When meditating on a theme, we find the mind naturally
begins to focus and adjust in perception and potential.
The most important journey you can take is the journey within.
This is a journey to the truth of who you really are. This is
the place, just beyond every day consciousness, where spiritual
empowerment begins. Spiritual power gives you the power to
choose creative thinking rather than automated thinking,
response rather than reaction, peace, love and harmony rather
than stress, conflict and chaos.
Meditation enables you to embark on this inward journey.
Raja Yoga meditation gives you a clear spiritual understanding
of yourself, helps you re–discover and use the positive
qualities already latent within you, enables you to develop your
strengths of character and create new attitudes and responses to
life. Raja Yoga meditation does not involve chanting, devotion
to a guru, physical postures or sitting cross-legged.
