When it came to higher meditations, my mind always asked me - "why should I spend 1.5 to 2.5 hrs on higher meditations when life is already wonderful with wellness meditation which takes only 30 mins to 45 mins?". This question stopped me from doing higher meditations for many years. I practiced them now and then but was not committed. I learnt higher meditations in 2009 and in these 12 years, I did 100 days of higher meditations only twice when I needed a big miracle. After years of wellness meditation, service and tithing, life has become pretty smooth and my mind resisted the…

We all know the importance and benefits of meditation and we really want to meditate. But some of us struggle with regularity when it comes to meditation. Our knowledge does not translate into practice. We will find time for exercise, internet browsing, travel, books , entertainment, time pass but not for meditation. This happened to me multiple times in my spiritual journey of 12 years and those times frustrated me. For me, meditation is a need. It is not a luxury or an optional pursuit.

The other day, my colleague came to me and asked something like - "Can you tell me your strategies to handle office politics? I am tired and fed up. You seem to be good at managing different situations."Hearing this, my ego boosted and I gave him good 30 minutes talk on different strategies. Then an inner voice said - "Hey, were you always this smart ? Don't you remember how your career was before you started your meditation journey?" I started my software career in 2008. I hated the project in which I worked. I hated my colleagues and especially my manager. I thought…
