Meditation General

Only true meditation is to meditate on the word. Repeat the word and listen to yourself saying it. To do this is simultaneously the easiest and the hardest thing to do.

Aren't there tons of proven medical benefits to meditating ?

This is the path towards spiritual enlightenment because God is word and word is God.

Slightly different but im into Ramtha as well. Not a yogi per say and the channeling thing can be a lil much but the book has taught me a lot

I wasn't going to click your video but I'm glad I did. I don't really meditate per say but have been trying to get into to get over some issues in my life and that video makes a lot of sense. Thanks user.

This is the fud I fight against. I’m doing the $1000 meditation you cunt.

I did not start off with Sadhguru.

I started with a very simple meditation practice which was taught by a Spiritual teacher when I was young. Did it for 6 months then gave it up because I got 'busy' with academics. The practice certainly helped me.

After a few years, I realized I should get back to meditation. I was inquisitive so I read a bunch of books on meditation including Autobiography of a Yogi. That really rekindled and renewed my interest in meditation as a serious spiritual seeker.

I followed Kriya yoga by Paramhamsa Yogananda for almost an year before I got 'busy' again.

Finally, I came across Sadhguru when someone suggested me to read his book Mystic Musings. I did the inner engineering program and all other programs soon after.

Though Kriya Yoga by Paramhamsa Yogananda is good as a practice but I believe the presence of a live teacher/Master makes a big difference (Unfortunately Yogananda isn't with us anymore). Sadhguru has created several support systems so that people don't fall off the path and I think that really helped me stick on. Ofcourse, as you stick on, you go deeper and gain more experiences and insights which encourage you further.

Autobiography of a Yogi is amazing. Have it as an audiobook

Mindfulness imo is just one of the tools. I won't consider it a complete path by itself unless you have a living Zen Master guiding you.

In India a plethora of tools have been explored to take one to their ultimate nature - hatha yoga, tantra, gnana yoga(using the intellect), kriya yoga and Sadhguru uses a combination of these. So I find that extremely effective.

I particularly chose Kriya yoga because :
