This is a simple and short guide to help you learn how to meditate quickly.
In this book you will learn, one of the ancient Tantra meditations, and why it works. And how you can meditate anywhere anytime.
Growing up as a kid in India, I thought meditation was only for monks. When I started reading spiritual books in my early twenties, in India, I found numerous books on spirituality and meditation. Most of them were esoteric with language that was hard to understand. They left me with the idea that meditation was hard and meant for only serious seekers who renounce everything in life.
As I continued my explorations deeper into different spiritual traditions— Ashtanga Yoga, Hinduism, Buddhism to Tao and Zen— I started finding the same core essence in all the paths. Gradually over the years, through my own meditation practice, I have understood that meditation is a huge paradox.
It is very simple and easy, it is being ourselves. But it keeps uncovering layers after layers of our own complex existence as we keep meditating.
The real reason I was motivated to write this book is that I still find numerous books on all sorts of meditations, from ancient spiritual traditions to new-age affirmation meditations, and they still seem overwhelming for a beginner, just like I was twenty years ago.
They sometimes remind me of when I first came to United States from India and went to the supermarket for the first time. The aisles and aisles of things ~ bakery, household supplies, frozen food, boxed food and so on confused and overwhelmed me, I did not know where to begin and what to do; when all I needed was some vegetables to cook some simple healthy meals.
It is the same in the case of spirituality. There are so many preachers and teachers, books, traditions, workshops and so on. Overwhelmed by the amount of information and misinformation two things happen usually to a beginner. Either one just assumes that this is all religious, non-scientific, nonsense and never begins. Or one dabbles in it for a few days and, not understanding the key basics, gives up as being too hard.
But the truth is that meditation connects us to our spirit, our real self. Once we begin, we can learn to slowly connect with our soul, our real self. Connecting to our real self is the only true source of peace. In our modern everyday life, where people are increasingly connected to phones and internet all the time, there is an even greater need to reconnect with our self to find some moments of true peace.
So the simple motivation to write this book came out of these questions?
What can I share with my own busy 18 year old son, who is a sophomore at UC Berkeley, on how to find those precious moments of clarity and peace? What core ancient meditation would I share on how to start meditating? What will I tell him? Where to begin? How to sit and be still?How can I share in a simple to understand form with my own kids, my sisters, and my friends, that they can also meditate?
How can I convey that sitting for simple meditation everyday matters more than lengthy discussions of philosophy.
What I would share with them, I have written in this book.
Meditation is not only for monks— it is simple and easy.
You just have to begin!
