AtricleZine - Meditation - Simplicity and Silence
Many people suffer from some form of allergies. If you don't suffer, I'm sure you know of someone who does; whether it be a family member, neighbor or co-worker. Allergies can be very miserable and in some cases can turn into asthma which can be life threatening. For allergy sufferers, the air they breathe could be a vital cause to their problem. An allergy relief air purifier could be the solution to living a healthier life. With all the contaminants in the air tod

Thai women are very beautiful and, unlike many Asian women, they usually don't gain much weight as they age. They are delightful companions.Thailand's economy is booming, but there is still a wide gap between rich and poor. Many people in Bangkok live in slums and many people in the North and Northeast are poor peasants.They have traditionally sent their daughters to massage parlors or allowed them to be the second wives of rich men.Yet many pr
Since meditation is fed from springs of silence and simplicity, I find it oddly paradoxical that its practice applied in my life for the last two decades has reaped such a complex harvest. From doing something that the outer world would characterize as suspiciously like not doing much at all, how could it offer such multifaceted benefits? For I find that in my life meditation plays the role of teacher, ethicist, protector, tour guide, healer, friend and minister – not strictly in that order. These rich benefits fill needs inside me that no single individual ever could. Instead of saying “it takes a village” we could say “it takes meditation” because of all it offers.
I believe that this bountiful harvest inside meditation’s emptiness is linked to meditation’s ability to foster spirituality and inner communion with God. From the foundation of inner meditative silence, space is reserved in my life to hear the inner voice and wisdom coming from a source much greater than my own frail and mistake-prone ego. During meditation, my life intertwines with God and because of this deeper divine communion, meditation carries wisdom on its coattails.

Have you ever followed a snail? I arrived at the office early and noticed a snail on the glass door of the office. It was interesting watching this little rascal move along its path ever so slowly. Please understand that I wasn’t just watching the snail move. That would have driven me crazy. Snails move at about 2 feet per hour. Since the snail was on the front door of the office moving vertically. I calculate that the snail must have been on his journey for about 1

Creating a powerful addiction with heroin is relatively easy. The best indicator of an addiction is when a person has reached a point where there is compulsion to use drugs despite adverse consequences.Heroin is particularly fast acting when snorted, injected or smoked. It quickly floods the user's brain with a euphoric feeling. This 'high' comes on fast and recedes very quickly as well. The loss of the euphoric feeling is in such a sharp contrast that the a

From the earliest times a man was trying to find a way to bring him up to the skies and feel the flight. A human being invented numerous types of flying apparatus starting from the earliest one which was so primitive that an accident was inevitable. Men were dreaming to fly and created myths and legends about flying people who could give their lives to skies. Ancient Greeks, Chinese, Romans and skiffs created tons of legends about heroes who were the first pioneers

I've had the privilege working with people and their struggles in life now for 25 years. If you pay attention, you can learn a lot about people and life from my chair.One of the things I've learned is that there are an amazing amount of ways to mess up and complicate your life.One of the most sure fire ways to complicate your life is to have an extra-marital affair.One of the reasons I say this is because once you enter into an extramarital affa
This wisdom coming forth from inner stillness has expressed itself in several ways. Like a tour guide, it opens up inner vistas that remain invisible when my awareness remains on a surface ordinary level cluttered with internal mental chatter. Like a teacher, new ideas and creative solutions to problems come forward while I meditate. Like a minister, meditation often leads me to discover passages in scripture of different religions of the world. Like an ethicist, meditation invariably exhorts me to forgiveness and cautions me not criticize others when I can keep more than busy with my own self-improvement.
Like a healer, it reduces stress and produces scientifically proven physiological benefits such as lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and muscle tension. Like a protector, I have heard inner warnings while meditating. In one instance, I felt urged while meditating to find a new apartment prior to my outer knowledge that burglers were breaking into the building where I lived. In another instance, meditation carried the inner message to look for a new job prior to finding out that my area at work was targeted for downsizing. Lastly, like a lifelong friend, the inner communion with God while meditating has engendered a feeling of self-acceptance and unconditional love towards myself and the world around me.
I know of no other element in my life that makes easy work of serving so many purposes. Good marriages usually last precisely when one doesn’t seek to meet all needs only from one’s spouse. School teachers know they cannot accomplish their job without a student’s needs also being served by parents and other caretakers. In virtually all aspects of society, specialization and compartmentalization abounds. Only in meditation can we find something that rises to the task of being all things to all people. While acting in myriad ways, meditation rhymes with wisdom and offer
