Meditation

Meditation Can Control Mind

Meditation removes mental limitations.Mind is a bundle of thoughts.Moreover the mind is always attacked by thoughts and we become victim of thoughts.The Mind goes on using us.To bring the mind to our control few exercises are necessary.Meditation is one such exercise.When the mind is in conflict creates sorrow.Meditation is the art of letting o sorrow.Meditations is not silence.It is the art of being awake. We usually think silence means the absence of sound.Swami Sukhabodhananda says that silence is a presence filled with life.Silence is not a product of thought but a space from which thoughts exit.
As Gita says. "Some through t meditation behold the Atman in their self by their own self;others experience it through  the yoga of knowledge(JnanaYoga)and still others
through the yoga of action(karma yoga)."
In Meditation you shut off your mind from the outside world and turn it inwards.While you sit in meditation no external condition Dan disturb the balance of your mind.
Thoughts do come and go.There is little gap between thoughts.During the gap you observe silence.For mediation you have to sit in a quiet place.You cannot experience silence from a noisy place of state.Never get identified with thoughts.Let them come and go.
Now there is silence.Experience it.Be conscious of every inhalation turns into exhalation and vice versa.Experience stillness.In this state you can clearly see your will be absolute peace.Focus your mind and the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness.
whenever a problem troubles you and you find no solution or no one to help you,find the solution.Definitely you find the solution.Meditation helps us discover the higher self.It is the art of opening one's being.We not from the lower self which discourages us.The ego never keeps the mind under control.Our suffering have come through our ego.Be meditative.It is a spiritual Method by which one can control the mind.Action alone is they province and not the fruits thereof.Seek not the fruits of actions nor should st than avoid action'says Gita,the voice of God.
Do your work,but selflessly.It leads to purity of mind.It is karma yoga.Don't do any work for personal gain.Render your service as a service to the community.This attitude itself is enough to purify the mind.Karma yoga is the yoga of deviation  Gnana yoga is the yoga of wisdom and dyana yoga is the yoga of meditation.
 According to bhakti yoga which advocates constant remembrance of God,through bhakti you will have a sort of link between you and God.The more you live in a state of God's consciousness,it goes on purifying your mind and thus mind gets strengthened.You have to feel the presence of God in every action.A devotee cleanses his mind in his companion.
Gyana yoga is related to knowledge of self and world.It may require certain level of intelligence .But you will come to know the mysteries of life and you will never fear or become anxious and thereby your mind is brought to control.
Tips:Have faith in God.Sorrows are not permanent.There is no role without a problems.
Exercise tolerance and patience.
Do not react immediately to insults or criticisms.

Avoid hurry,anxiety and desperation for worldly matters and sensual pleasures.Increase your will power.

Say always 'I can'-Thinking positive always think positive always helps you.Positive thinking is the foundation of our life.
 If any body comments on you or make about him/her.Don't develop any malice against him/her.Just feel that his/her mood upset.This is a positive attitude.It keeps your mind calm.Also it benefits the person coming in your contact.By positive thoughts you can change the environment.You will be healty also.Maintaining the surroundings or environment one can improve one's mental health.If the environment is not clean,noislyand not free from impurities mind gets perturbed and health gets impaired.
Tips:Inhale fresh air.
Drink pure water or mineral water.
Keep the house or office premises clean.
Reduce noise levels.
Use paper instead of plastics or polythene.
Provide better ventilation and enough.
Sunlight in the dwelling place.

The mental health also depends on the way you to concentrate.Infact success is the result of pure concerntration.The power of concentration decides what  we are.Concentration means to learn to remain in the present moment.There are people who think either of future or remembers past.Their minds do not work in the present situation.It is because of lack of concerntration.So naturally the mind will not be under control.

Aerobic exercise

Aerobic exercise Control Mind Power

These days,people are used to aerobic exercises.These exercises demand rapid movements. By these exercises you can remove the tension of your museles.They release pockets of tension stored in the body and 'prana' flows uniformly,thus allows the mind to function better






Tratak:This enables to strenghen and center the mind.Usually tratak exercise is done using a burning candle.The candle is kept at a convenient distance say 3 feet.You have to gaze at the candle continuously with open eyes till tears start trickling down.You may gaze at a dot on a wall,a picture of your like instead a candle flame.
While you do tratak sit on a mat spread on the ground or on a chair.Let the spine,neck and head are kept straignt.Tratak is a good exercise for strengthening of eyes.It removes the impurities of eyes.Tratak is a yogic kriya (action).

jalneti,Kapalbhati,Dhauti are some of the other yogic kriyas that help to clean the impurities of the body thereby allow prana to flow freely.By observing silence also one can increase mental power.Usually people lose lot of energy during arguments,discussion and useless talks.Silence may not be possible.But one should decided to keep silent at least for some time in a day.The same time may be used to read or listen to some instrumental music.Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves'says a quotation.


By reciting 'Om' sound one can get relief from a disturbed mind.When you recite Om sound the vibrations generated by the sound will have powerful effect on the mind.Inhale deeply and then exhale slowly through the mouth making the sound 'O'.Let this sound be as loud and as lengthy as possible.Then close your lips making 'M' humming sound at the end.

Yogasana

Yoga Can Help Control Mind

yoga is missing body and mind.Yoga is a physical method.It should not be mistaken with physical exercise.For meditation yoga designates few stting or meditative postures.They are called Yogasanas.Besides sitting postures like, the popular Padmasana,Vajrasana,Sukhasana etc.there are other yogasana which when practised leads to quietness and of mind.Once you master yogasanas you can sit effortless for a long time and do certain works easily.

Pranayama is closely rated to mind.It is a technique of breathing.There are several ways of doing pranayama.Breathing play a vital role in relaxing the body as well as. Mind When your mind is perturbed your breathing is shallow,jerky and irregular.Where as when your mind is relaxed breathing is deep,slow and rhyth nice.Learn to control your breathing.Nadi shuddhi Pranayama is quite effective for reducing anxiety,tense and fear which disturbs the mind.

Then start inhaling again through the right nostril,revering the sequence.This completes one round.Increase the rounds according to your capacity.Maintain the ratio of inhalation and exhalation time as 1:2 (Retention counts can be gradually increased).

Food

Food is One Of The Part Of Mind Control Technique

In Order to live, we eat food that gives energy.So we eat to alive.But we should not live to eat.Our scriptures say" Enjoy the world but not let the world enjoy you.You may eat food but not let the food eat you."
Food is what we eat through our mouth.But whatever we inhale through our senses say feeling they also a sort of food.What we eat through the mouth supports our body.but the experiences we grasp through our senses shape our personality.What we see,hear,smell,touch all these give a shape to one's personality.

Gita say's "For him whose habits of eating and recreation are controlled and regulated who is balanced in sleep and working, and whose actions are.disciplined yoga becomes the destroyer of pain.
Thus food decides what we are.Food we eat can keep our minds quiet,positive and under control.Such food is known as satwik food.Yoga desirable three types of food,of rajasik and tamasik. Example for satwik food.Fruits and vegetables,milk,honey,dry fruits,lemon whole grain cereals etc.Rajasik foods stimulate the mind and make it restless.For example,tea,coffee cola drinks,salt(in excess),sugar,tobacco etc.They perturb the minds.At certain time the mind go out of control.
Tamasik foods make the mind dull an lazy.Eg.Meat,alcohol,fatty foods,canned food etc.In addition to the  type of food ,we should know when we should eat,what combination of foods we have to eat and what temperature we have to eat.Suppose you eat cold food it is not good for the system and is not digested.Similarly you should not eat too hot food.

Eating is not our business. Overeating is still bad. In fact we have to give holiday for eating.That is achieved by fasting atleast once in fifteen days.Our ancestors prescribed 'Ekadasari'the eleventh day in a fortnight as the day for fasting.Fasting removes the impurities of our body and allows the 'prana' to flow evenly.Also fasting prevents us from succumbing to the temptation of food.Ultimate results is we would be able to control our mind.For fasting,must have will power.
While eating,one has to chew the food thoroughly and should never push it down his gullet in gulps.Replace with fruits and vegetables,all eatables that are artificial and processed.Also cultivate the habit of eating only when you are really hungry.
Do your exercises regularly and go for your walk in the mornings or-and after evening meals.If you are so busy and have no time for long walks or exercises,walk not-so nearby places where you usually go by bus or two wheeler s.
Celibacy or restraint is one more important factor in the control of mind.Sex is a need like food.But it has limits.One need not be abstinent from sex for ever.Remember ,sex should be under control.Sex is just a tool in your hand for getting pleasure for a while.It is not bigger than you.Have judicious control of sex.This help to elevate your mind.

Mind Control Techniques

Mind Control Techniques  

In Today's world we only see many people having highly scattered and turbulent mind.They have not been able to still their mind even for a moment.People are restless;living in tension  Life has become mechanical,formula based.Controlling mind is certainly difficult for them.Mind is perturbed.They will be in the office,but 
think about their family affairs.When they are in their residence,they worry about the office work.Think of a student.A student has to think always of his studies.He cannot ignore studies and always play in the field.

 we all know that our body and the mind are closely interlinked.So a simple solution for the problem is that if we control the body mind can automatically be controlled.
Concentration improves the strength of mind.

Students who study must develop concerntration.Whoever it may be,whatever activity they are engaged in,they should try to be totally absorbed in it,however small it may be.Arjuna was asked by this mentor Drona to shot an arrow at a a bird.While Arjuna was about to proceed,Drona asked him what are all the things he is observing .Arjuna said that he is only viewing the bird and nothing except bird is visible.Arjuna shot an arrow and the bird fell.That was the power of concentration of Arjuna.When the same test was given to Duryodhana,he said that he is able to see not only the bird,the teacher,all Pandavas and his brothers.He failed the shot the bird.That tells us,we have to work while we eat and sleep while we sleep.We have to derive the maximum benefits  from each activity we carryout.There is no use if we get unduly attached with various things.At the same time,we should detach ourselves from undesirable post.Infact we have to forget the unpleasant things happened early.Forgetting in the sense means we should not bring it before our conscious mind.They are not important also.We becomme wise if we do not remember.
Tips:see that the conscious mind is active.
The conscious mind should control the subconscius mind.
Avoid wasteful thinking and do some useful activities.
Let your thinking be planned.
Avoid day dreaming.

Mind And Soul

Mind And Soul

Are they different?No.Mind and soul are one and the same.Each term may be defined,but mind is not different from soul.Our body possesses soul.Mind is also a part of it.It cannot be separated. However mind has three levels which altogether give the mind unique identity.

What are they?

They are 1.Conscious mind 2.Sub conscious mind and 3.Super conscious mind. It is the conscious mind that thinks and analyses.The conscious superiority helps one to experience emotions or feelings.The conscious mind remains in contact with the external world. We act according to the conscious mind.In addition, the subconscious mind detects the conscious mind to be have in a manner to involve in certain types of action. Again, we know that we live in a society.There is always pressure from society.Both our actions and society expectation should match.For example,think about travelers travelling in a bus in the night.It is midnight.Each passenger would like to sleep.Suppose three or four passenger go on talking loudly.

Everybody is disturbed. So society expects all in the bus to be quiet.If the social expectations don't match the conscious mind gets disturbed. Subconscious mind is another level of mind that creates everything in your life based on the messages and information you send to it.Your messages to your subconscious minds are your thoughts,beliefs and actions.Emotions linked with our thoughts,words and actions are deposited in our subconscious mind which is also a store house of our memory.However,past conscious mind distributing the peace of mind.To day there are many psychological treatments by which the subconscious mind can be cleaned thus removing all sorts of fears,biases and doubts stored in it.

The subconscious mind acts as an impediment between the conscious and super conscious mind. This will not allow the conscious mind to understand the super conscious mind.Therefore it is very essential to purge all impurities of subconscious mind to enable conscious mind to perceive the super conscious  mind.The conscious mind when inwardly directed it would move towards the super conscious mind or the real self.To make it clear,it can be said,that the conscious mind should not be covered by impurities of subconscious mind.When the conscious mind is directed outwards,it would be in contact with the world.

Effects Of Uncontrolled Mind

Effects Of Uncontrolled Mind 

Dislikes,hatred,jealousy,revenge,anger,grief,fear are all nothing but the results of an uncontrolled mind.People who inculcate such habits are unable to face life or world as it really is.The uncontrolled mind jumps,cries and fears.It is a disturbed mind.It is frustrated depressed and ultimately the mind fails to provide peace and happiness.

Where as a controlled mind makes a person totally transformed and keeps him peaceful and cheerful.Any impediment cannot hurt him.The rewards of conquers mind are worth.

Many people do not know that the mind is different from brain.They think are same.You see, the brains is only like a link that connects the mind and the body.The brain is an instrument of the mind.The brain cannot think or feel.But the mind can think and feel and even imagine.It is the mind which sees,hears,smells etc and it is through the mechanism of the brain.

Control Your Mind

Control Your Brain 
Those who control their minds can achieve anything . People are sick because of their minds,not because of their bodies.If your mind is calm then only the medicines you take work. If your mind is calm and cool,you will be healthy even if you eat well prepared food you will not enjoy.Your health depends upon how you think and how you feel. Clean mind delivers the power. when you master your mind, you master your life. Stanley Judd once said:You may be dead broke and that's a reality,but in spirit you may be brimming over with optimism,joy and energy.The reality of life may result from many outside factors,none of which you can control.your attitudes however reflect the ways in which you evaluate what is happening."One who faces problems of all sorts and all kinds,be it emotional,financial or otherwise,but his determination and power of attitude(mind)helps him. Attitude has either made a person extremely successful or it has destroyed a person completely.

Let me tell you a story.Three brick layers were working at a new building site.A visitor walks over ti the first bricklayer and asks what are you doing? The workers replies "i'm laying bricks."The visitors then asks the same question to the second worker.He says,' i am building a wall."Finally the visitor asks this question to the third worker,who says "i am building a hospital for the sick people,so that they can come here and get cured."

Now you evaluate the three responses,the difference naturally is in their attitudes.So how we think shows thorught in how we act.Mind thinks.Mind and body are very closely interlinked. What mind thinks the body acts mind and body influence each other.
why people differ from each other?The reason is the ability to control the mind differs from person to person.An uncontrolled mind cannot keep quiet even for a minute or even a second. The speed of thought is so high.

Mind Its Nature

Mind Its Nature 

One who can read the mind before it is spoken is a gem to the world.If one can,with out doubt,guess what is in the mind of others he is equivalent to the gods.

our body,if it is treated as a vehicle,mind is the engine.Our mind is a power station.It generates energy.Even if we can use only 5 percent of it we can achieve what we desire.It is mind that helps us to achieve success in our day to day practical life.The mind only leads our life.our mind can generate both happiness and sorrow.Many people have felt that energy means physical or body energy.But energy is not mere physical energy.Actually,energy means 99 percent mind and only one percent our physical energy. We produce energy through our mind.Mind is the most powerful thing in the world.One who has made his mind his slave can control anything in the world.Mind employed is mind enjoyed.All our pains are due to uncontrolled mind.Mind is always unsteady,fickle or shaky.A clever man controls it and becomes its master.The ability to control mind differs from person to person.
.A Yogi can conquer his mind That's why he is always peaceful and cheerful 

The mind is like a bag of mustard seeds. If you spill those seeds on the floor it is hard to pick them up again.Your concentration must be like a vacuum cleaner,drawing those scattered seed thoughts together  again.

The messenger of God,has said is quite important:He whose mind is unruffled by sorrows,who thirsts not for pleasures,who is free from passion,fear and wroth-such a one is a man of secure understanding.
Serenity,kindness,silence,self control and purity these constitute the austerity of the mind. The meaning here is that the mind should be calm,patient.Of course it is difficult to control mind.The mind is the route cause for all happenings.If our mind is alright,our speech,action will be alright.Mind should be peaceful.There should not be any turbulence or tumult.It should be like a lake without waves.It should blossom like a flower. When a flower blossoms there would be a fragrance.The observe silence Which means speak less. If you speak unnecessarily you would be wasting your mental energy.So,control your mind. The mind always thinks about several things-It is not free. We do as our mind thinks. Bad deeds are due to the fickleness of the mind.The mind should always think of good work.The mind should be firm.Control Your Mind

 We are born human.There are doualities in everybody's life.As there is pleasure, there is pain also. A merchant experiences a loss also in addition to profit.In both the cases one has to control mind.treating alike victory and defeat,gain and loss,pleasure and pain,get ready to fight? Seeing dualities as same is only possible for few.That too,for lucky persons.Rest do all exercise, but do not achieve.
