Simply be with any Experience that comes up during meditation
During meditation, various thoughts appear. Any experience, positive or negative, is temporary. The goal of meditation is not to seek experience, but to meet the unknown within.
As we start meditation, we have a lot of expectations. like my memory will improve, and I will be more focused. My decisions will be in the right direction. My anger will disappear, and I will be at peace. However, these behavioural changes take a lot of focused practice. Keep your attention on your practice and not on results or enlightenment.

Be A Meditator- Meditation is quietening of human noise to gain deeper insight
'Meditation is quietening of human noise', so say all the revered teachers. When we start meditating, all physical activities are supposed to have stopped, and only the mind is active. The mind is very complex and very tricky. It makes simple things complicated. How can we get detached from the tricks of the mind? We can start with awareness. Awareness of every part of our body culminates in quietening of the mind. The body starts relaxing, and we are no longer attached to the mind. Then we may see some miracles of awareness. That is, without saying anything, without doing anything, it simply dissolves all that is negative in us into all that is beautiful. Like a wonderful opportunity to MEET a deeper insight.

Embrace Emptiness with Meditation
Once a large project or undertaking is over, it is natural to feel empty. It may also occur after a major goal has been achieved, a long journey, a sudden reduction in responsibilities upon retirement or when a child leaves for college. In such times, it is natural to feel empty, and we generally fill this emptiness by turning to food, television, or other substitutes which do not fill the emptiness.
Under such circumstances, it is best to start meditating. The feeling of emptiness will soon pass. Leaving us in the emotional space to pick up a more wholesome next step. Meditation is a long-term investment in emotional stability. It is a very important skill for human beings. Keep Meditating Write-up by Neera

Spiritual Search is like a jump into the Unknown
Sometimes we come across events such as sky divers jumping down from a helicopter. Before the jump, it is impossible to know that you will be safe and it will be thrilling; similarly, the spiritual search is an adventure walking into the unknown terrain. It is natural to be fearful when we encounter the unknown. A new adventure, a new idea, a new realization that shifts old thinking and we can hesitate to continue our journey. Meditation helps us see our experience clearly and this helps us continue to make progress. Keep Meditating.

Most of us spend our lives collecting the choicest of things. Hold on to the people and possessions we love. Some of us think adventure is risky. It is sometimes hard to cross that bridge, try something new, or make that change, but once we do, we realise that things are usually never as bad as we imagine. However, nothing remains the same from one moment to another. We must learn to change as life changes. Regular practice of meditation can help us realise it. Keep Meditating

Embrace our worries, our fear, our anger
It's true, no one ever solved a situation by panicking. No one ever solved an issue by refusing to hear new answers, no one ever solved a problem by shutting themselves off. Anger, fears and worries are nothing more than an outward expression of hurt and frustration created in our minds. If we can take charge of our minds, we can create blissfulness. Meditation can help us embrace our fears, anger, and worries. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Accept this moment exactly as it is
Think of a drive-through of an unknown terrain. We always manage to steer clear of whatever comes our way. In the present times, even the GPS is not able to tell if there is any ditch on the road or if the road is blocked, maybe because of some repair work. At such junctures, we are unable to drive on. We have to just wait and be patient and do the needful. In the same way, we should accept this moment as it is. Observe our breath as we drive through this moment. Keep Meditating

Meditate to Shed Ego
The first question that comes to our minds is, do I have an ego? Maybe, if we get angry at loved ones, if we feel the need to prove that I am right, if there is a feeling of insecurity or a sense of jealousy. Ego hides behind the opinion that appears genuine.
Well, there is no harm in having some ego. The problem arises when that self-image is negative, inaccurate or overly positive. That's when the need to shed ego arises. Once we start shedding our ego, self-realisation starts setting in. Which gives immense peace and happiness.
Self-realisation can be attained after shedding the ego. Meditate to shed ego. Keep Meditating

The Ungoverned Mind is the seed of Misery
Have you seen some children picking up things and throwing them, or tearing pages of new books, or writing on the completed homework of their siblings?. It's a common sight in some of the houses.
Why do children do this? The child does not know what he is supposed to do. His mind is still not channelled. The same thing happens with elders if their minds are ungoverned. They end up doing or saying weird things. Meditation can help in focusing and channelling your thinking process.Keep Meditating Write-up by NEERA

He supported the family by taking tutions in the morning, teaching at a school during the daytime. In the evening, he studied law at Lucknow University. After completing his LLB, he started practising law under the guidance of his mama ( maternal uncle) at Basti (UP). He practised law for 20 years in Basti.1929-1949. Then he practised law for another 19 years in Allahabad from 1949 to 1968. where he saw many ups and downs. After that, we moved to Delhi.

Meditation Right here and now
There are many of us who want to meditate. But they say, there is no time, there is too much disturbance, and I am not in the right frame of mind to meditate. Is it possible to meditate with so many activities going on around us? Maybe yes.
We can find a place for ourselves within the house, where we can spend some time by ourselves. Something like, behind the door, in the sitting room, dining room, facing away from everything else.
We can meditate out of the house too, in a marketplace, or in the office during the tea or lunch break. It sounds too optimistic, but it is possible. Just close your eyes anywhere, and the surroundings will disappear. Observe your breath. You would find the agitation in your mind and body settling down.
The art of Meditation is to cultivate Meditation right here and now Keep Meditating

As we continue with our meditational practice
The functioning of the mind is divided into four components. Manas ( sensory mind), Buddhi (inner witness), Chitta( memory), Ahamkara ( self-identity). As manas is calmed, buddhi awakens. Buddhi calms mental agitation, which is caused by the unconscious mind having a lot of distractions. Imagination is relaxed, and restful concentration is established, bringing ordinary awareness into the present moment. As meditation deepens, certain things are set aside in order to clear the way for restful concentration. Keep Meditating Write-up by NEERA
