The Power of Meditation

Together with the yogis in New Delhi, India

Meditation is an ancient spiritual tool used by Yogis and Sages, mainly in the Himalayan Region. This practice has been preserved and passed down through generations.

Many studies and research have been done to prove its healing effects on the body and mind. Indeed, it's a beautiful life tool for everyone who wants relaxation and calmness of the body, mind, and spirit.

My journey as a meditation practitioner has been transformative. It has instilled a sense of calm in me, allowing me to navigate difficult situations with ease. The improvement in my memory and focus has been remarkable, making me more aware of my work and surroundings.


Meditation has helped to correct my breathing pattern since I am a shallow and fast breather. Still, I've learned that deep and regular breathing habits are essential for physical, emotional, and mental health.


Meditation is a tool for spirituality, and it's true because the Divine Beings are present in moments of silence, especially when you are ready to have a quiet moment and able to listen to inner voices.

Meditation uses particular locations, body positions, and hand seals, which have significant meanings. To be able to concentrate well during meditation, you must be in a place that is free from noise and distraction. It is also appropriate to be in an open space or well-ventilated room. The back must be aligned and straight, and the legs should be placed in a lotus or semi-lotus position, or you may sit straight on a chair to make it more practical. Hands are placed on the lap with hands facing upward. Hand seals must be used because they are a core essence of meditation and a tool for spirituality. Joining your index finger and thumb together symbolizes spiritual power, while joining the thumb and the middle finger together would mean material energy or power. Joining the thumb, index, and middle finger together would be the best practice as it is more balanced--the material and spiritual power combined.

I meditate whenever I feel stressed, fatigued, and bored, and I've proven it very effective in regaining vitality. It makes me feel more relaxed and has peace of mind. Meditation has become an indispensable tool for me, and I consider it valuable for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and well-being.

Initially, meditation was a practice that relied on imagination and visualization. However, for those with busy schedules, the advent of voice-guided reflections has made this ancient practice more accessible and practical.

Some meditation DVDs and books are on the market today. They can also be purchased through an online store and are available on some popular video-sharing websites. However, carefully choose which meditation products to buy and consider the author's expertise and reputation.


I'm fortunate to have been taught by an absolute master of meditation. He spent some of his beautiful moments in the Himalayas and was mentored by great masters. He has a deeper understanding of meditation practices and their hidden dangers. The knowledge and wisdom I've gained from him are beneficial in my practice and teaching others through seminars on special meditation programs he designed and created.


If you've witnessed the transformative power of meditation in your life, I urge you to give it a try. Open your mind to its potential to change your perspective and ideals.
