How I got started with Meditation – Dhyan Lagana!

I love to meditate. I honestly am all messed up listening to different spiritual leaders – not really following anyone all the way. I guess I have not found my guru yet. I respect them all and I think they all lead to one thing – peace. That is if you really follow the techniques.

I actually started two years ago – out of desperation. I did not even know I am getting into meditation. That was the time when I was going through a tough phase in my life – emotionally. I was not able to accept my situation and did not know how to settle – make peace. So I started wandering in different directions – going to different spiritual meeting places around my area like Self-Realization center, Gayatri Temple and so on. I was not sure what I was looking for. I just went there for a 30 minute tour of each place and came back home with some booklets. One night when I could not sleep and my head felt like it will explode, I opened one of the free booklets I picked up from my brief tour of different places. I did not know my life was about to change.

I read about Deep Yajna (and Hamsa ) – I might be spelling it wrong. So started exploring what that meant. They explained how instead of lighting log fire for Havana, just light a diya (its like lighting a candle). Chant a few mantras and so on… I actually read the whole book which was only 30 to 50 pages so not bad for me – I am not a big reader. There on I have been on the path to meditation I would say. I don’t know what enlightenment is yet. So, I can not say path to enlightenment yet. I hear this a lot.

I am so glad I explored that day! I actually started sitting for hours just exploring within me – never wanting to come back out…… Now I have phases – some days I just want to meditate the whole day even when I am driving (with my eyes open) and some days I just do it for a few minutes.

I am a seeker – as these learned gurus call us….. Wonder where life will take me from here.
