Meditation process is not easy and to learn the correct method you need to practice under a trained Yoga Master. The question may arise why Yoga, the reply is both Yoga and meditation have a deep connection and is inter related. There is deep meaning of meditation and you need to have a trained teacher to explain the philosophy which will entice the urge to explore the mystic world of spiritualism. Yoga is a blending of mind, body, and soul with spirituality and while doing this you have to keep in mind that only a Yoga Master can train you with proper care and attention. There are various forms or methods of practicing meditation which is called Meditation Process. The Yoga Master is the person who guides the student through the difficult path of Yoga and teaches the methods of Meditation Process. In our ancient script the term used for master is ‘Guru’ or teacher and the position of teacher is held supreme since he or she is someone who imparts knowledge to students and in another words in involved in the process of creativity. The Yoga Master is someone who guides students how to practice Yoga and teaches them to meditate. A master helps the students to reduce stress and aggression. The master through his or her years of practice transforms the negativity present among the students into positive energy which is the basic philosophy of meditation. The student should be able to surrender thyself unconditionally. Meditation Process holds deep meaning and philosophy. There is a need to understand the meaning of meditation and what is it all about - there is a common misconception among average people that sitting with closed eyes is called meditation but the fact is if you cannot focus your entire energy on the specific point and pray, then it is immaterial even if you sit in that position for ages. Meditation is an art where we concentrate all our energy and thoughts, focus 100 per cent on a specified point. Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa said meditation can be done anywhere and everywhere, for meditating there is no need to find a secluded corner. All one need to do is to concentrate thoughts and remember Almighty God. Yoga is attached to basic concept of spiritualism and workouts are basically exercises but to able to follow them you need to have total concentration and control on your breathing which will be taught to you through meditation process by the Yoga Master. The masters have suggested using of a candle during the stage since they fear that meditating with closed eyes at early stage can be challenging. During this process the person gets into deep concentration and gradually finds thyself reaching a trance like situation. Lighting a candle and using it as your point of focus allows you to strengthen your attention with a visual cue. Since ages Buddhist monks have been practicing meditation in their day-to-day activities as a form of mind-training process. The method of using beads while meditating is one of the popular forms of meditations process. Apart from that they have an unique way where they would chants ‘words’ which have rhythmic feel and sounds like ‘mantra’ but in actual they seldom have any spiritual importance.
