Minute by minute increments<\/h2>\n
Deeper states of consciousness<\/strong>\u00a0 When we meditate, these daily efforts should bring us to deeper states of consciousness. If today we meditate for half an hour, let us sit for thirty-one minutes tomorrow. If we can then increase our time in meditation minute by minute, then in due course, we will be able to sit for ten percent of our day, which equals about two and a half hours. Once we are able to sit for over two hours, we can eventually increase that time to meditate for three hours. If we are enthusiastic about the benefits of our meditation practice, then from there we may want to develop our practice further, so that we can sit for four hours, and then five hours.<\/p>\n Daily practice\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Many people learn how to meditate, but they do not practice it to the point of perfecting their ability to withdraw their attention. To do so, meditation needs to be practiced daily. At first it is not easy to retrain our attention from focusing on the outside to focusing within because our habit has been to focus on the world around us. However, we need to sit with a still mind. We need to close our eyes and keep our inner gaze focused on whatever appears in the field in front of us. This means unwavering attention with no intervening thoughts. If we keep our mind still, we will begin to see the glorious treasures awaiting us within.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to realize that we can\u2019t expect to achieve our meditation goals all at once. Rather, let us proceed slowly and steadily. This is the same strategy we use when we are faced with a heavy load. When something is too heavy to lift, for example, we will often divide it into smaller parts. In this way, we are able to succeed. By taking methodical steps, we, too, will eventually perfect the practice of meditation and move toward spiritual enlightenment.<\/p>\n Reaching our goals\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0It is possible to lead a balanced life, wherein we spend time in daily meditation while raising a family, having a job, and performing selfless service. By doing so, we begin to reap the benefits of our practice which results in greater concentration as well as increased calm and well-being. So let us increase the time we sit in meditation each day and take strides toward our spiritual goals.<\/p>\n As our concentration deepens, we will begin to discover our own potential. We will experience a profound transformation that enriches all areas of our life\u2014from personal relations, to physical, mental and emotional health, to our spiritual growth as well as the attainment of our life\u2019s goals. This transformation brings peace and joy into our lives and contributes to a peaceful, loving world.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”About Author Text” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ max_width=”75%” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”center” global_module=”36318″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Master’s Messages Grid Section” module_class=” sos-marble-bg” _builder_version=”3.26.6″ global_module=”3201″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”89%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=”off” posts_number=”3″ include_categories=”45″ meta_date=”F j, Y” show_author=”off” show_date=”off” show_categories=”off” module_class=”sos-article-grid sos-master-message-grid” _builder_version=”3.26.6″][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|off|off” _builder_version=”4.4.1″ background_color=”#e1b93b” background_image=”https:\/\/perf.stage.aws.wp.sos-dev.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/footer-08.jpg” background_enable_image=”off” width=”100%” custom_padding=”35px|0px|35px|0px|false|false” global_module=”403″ saved_tabs=”all” collapsed=”off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”sos-expanded-footer” _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Meditation” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#968743″ text_font_size=”13px” header_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_5_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” header_6_font=”Nunito|600|||||||”]<\/p>\n Spiritual Growth<\/a><\/p>\n Benefits of a Spiritual Guide<\/a><\/p>\n Health Benefits<\/a><\/p>\n Healthy Living<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”About Us” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#968743″ text_font_size=”17px” header_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_5_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” header_6_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” custom_margin=”|||”]<\/p>\n Our Organization<\/a><\/p>\n International Meditation Center<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explore” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#968743″ text_font_size=”17px” header_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_5_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” header_6_font=”Nunito|600|||||||”]<\/p>\n Articles<\/a><\/p>\n Videos<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”More” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#968743″ text_font_size=”17px” header_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_5_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” header_6_font=”Nunito|600|||||||”]<\/p>\n Spiritual Guide<\/a><\/p>\nRetraining our attention<\/h2>\n
