What is meditation used for?The countless methods of practice generally revolving around a few specific themes e.g. basic practices, spiritual development and transcendental liberation practices. I recommend specific practices to attain one's desired goal. The right practice for the right outcome. Those who are interested in initiation (Shaktipat Diksha) are welcome to ask me in the community
Different practices are undertaken for different outcomes, from learning to relax and rebuild a distressed immune system to find peace, calm, happiness and contentment in our lives, to exploring the spiritual or transcendental nature of our being. All are good reasons to practice and meditation applied properly will give the results we seek, but we need to apply the right practice for the right goal or confusion will arise and failure may be the outcome.
Where Problems arise
The general current approach to meditation usually focuses on the practice and disregards the rationale behind it, or what Hindus and Buddhists call ‘hearing’ (sravana) and ‘reflection’ on the heard (manana) are generally ignored or bypassed. These are critical for a successful outcome in whatever meditative goal we seek. The web is teeming with sites that offer methods of practice without a clear grasp of what those practices do. It seems that (to them) it doesn’t really matter what practice is employed so long as you are doing something it is OK - it isn’t!
