MEDITATION….MYTH vs TRUTH
(taught by Depak Chopra and every experienced meditator)
I often hear reasons why people don't pursue meditation and want to share my favorites.
I can't stop thinking. I say that's right, you can't - it is nearly impossible to stop thinking by thinking about it. The nature of the mind is to think like the nature of your eye is to see. As you practice meditation correctly, without effort, your mind will settle down and you'll access more and more subtle levels of thinking, and eventually, more and more silence. With the proper meditation technique, it is natural for the mind to transcend the thought process for a moment or two, but bear in mind, thoughts will always be a part of your meditation. Thinking doesn't mean you are doing it wrong. Be kind to yourself. * It takes hard work to meditate correctly….Wrong.

*I'll have to wear unusual clothing
*Meditation will make me too relaxed to be competitive.
*I'll probably have to change my religion
*I am so busy; I don't have the time in my day.
*It is for weirdoes.
*My knees don't bend like that.
What’s your reason for not resting your mind, as you do your body?
