Two of the simplest techniques of meditation are presented here that does not require a guru
or any special mantra. Meditation leads to peace, tranquility, and equanimity of mind, and
equanimity of mind leads to Self-Realization or the superconscious state of mind and bliss.
Ten steps of Meditation:
1. A dark room makes time stand still.
2. A 1 inch cushon reduces ankle&knee pain.
3. Set an alarm clock for the time that you vow to do.
4. Keeping eyes closed&hands locked, periodically stretch legs while keeping back straight.
5. Intense aspiration will bring longer meditation.
6. Practice and regularity achieves perfection.
7. Do meditation with love to seek and please God.
8. Invoke God's presence before meditation.
9. Keep your meditation secret from worldly people.
10. Never give up until the goal is reached.
Hope these 10 hints help your meditation.
