  • Life Can Become a Meditation

    17/08/2017 Duración: 22min

    Swami Satchidananda offers keys to developing a successful meditation practice and living a balanced and peaceful life. He explains the purpose of meditation: to make the mind calm. Meditation is the final practice in the 8-step Yoga ladder. Yoga starts with handling your day-to-day life, postures, pranayama, keeping control over the senses, trying to fix the mind on one thing at a time. When you do all these, the 7th is meditation. The 8th step (samadhi) is an experience. Preparation for meditation is very important. Without these steps, meditation will be a constant struggle. Life itself becomes a meditation when the mind is always calm and doesn’t get agitated. The mind is not calm due to anxieties and worries.
