No matter how delicious we can try to make meditation sound in order to tempt you into meditating, this is a fruit that is meant to be eaten and not just described. In the end, it is not for anyone else but you yourself. Meditation removes the blindfold, the darkness that covers our eyes from the truth. Meditation generates the inner light that gives us vision to see just what is really happening around us. When you attain true bliss and happiness inside yourself through meditation, you will fee …

EXISTENCE is a FACT, LIVING is an ART that needs to be learned. Yoga is often considered to be a physical exercise, but this is just a beginning. Physical exercise is simply an aspect of it. Next comes the breath, and the mind. Without tapping the inner source of energy through meditation, Yoga is never complete. Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful breathing technique taught on the Art of Living course, takes you to the deepest meditation where body, mind and breath converge into one rhythm, connecting …

Do you want to integrate your spirituality and your work? My goal for this NEW group is to provide a forum for people to discuss how to advance their spiritual practice as they succeed professionally -- whether at a company or at their own business.

Unconditional love is known as affection without any limitations. How spiritually liberating would it be to love everyone, self included, with a "mother's love?" It's easily said about ones own children, but what if you have to apply the same concept toward a co-worker that never has an uplifting word? Better yet, what if you were told to stand in front of a mirror and project that same relentless feeling to a reflection of personal imperfections? Within the past year, I've been on a quest. A qu …

Awakening Beyond Meditation Ultimately I was a complete failure at meditation.  For nearly six years I tried all types of meditation to clear my mind: going blank, transcendental meditation and even deep meditation for astral projection.  Meditation never worked for me yet I still felt compelled to seek out what might.  In 1990, while overseas on a tour in the military, I crossed paths with an "adept" who imparted to me an experience so elusive that only a few people on the planet are masters of …
