Do you think, Meditation is so Boring? Meditation requires us to sit still for 20 minutes or so doing and thinking nothing. Hitting the pause button, sitting perfectly still, with no thought or action, it seems, is not for everybody.

Some people say they find meditation boring, or at least they sometimes find it boring, such as when they feel they’ve got something “better” to do, perhaps are itching to engage in an activity that’s more “exciting.” Meditation may seem to be a spoilsport… why waste time sitting and doing nothing when you could be doing this eagerly anticipated activity?

In an effort to determine whether science can shed light on why some people are spiritually inclined and some are not, some researchers have sought evidence to determine whether the tendency to either embrace or reject spirituality is influenced by — or even caused by — an individual’s genetics or idiosyncrasies in brain structures.

We’ve all been there at some point… we just can’t seem to get over a hurtful incident that deeply wounded us, or perhaps even altered the course of our lives. So we hold a grudge against the person who wronged us… it smolders, perhaps for years. We can’t seem to forgive and let go.

Developing the habit of forgiveness can be an incredibly powerful healing force. It begins with realizing that in refusing to forgive, we hurt ourselves more than the person we refuse to forgive. You’ve probably heard the old Confucius saying: “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” So while an unwillingness to forgive does not necessarily equate to a desire for revenge, the result — the harm that “unforgiveness” does to us — may be the same.

The journey of spirituality can sometimes be humorous and even comical. History is replete with all sorts of attempts by human beings to search for the ultimate and seek what might be beyond science.

For centuries, people used to go into some cave in the Himalayas, hoping to find God or the higher power there. Many used to freeze to death and others hung themselves upside down from trees, hoping to find something.

These days, the attitude towards finding God and spirituality remains the same but has likely gotten more sophisticated.

The God Helmet, laughable as it sounds, is one such experiment.

As it stands, the world around us is full of problems. Many times, so are our personal lives. Sometimes these are related to nagging health issues, at other times, we get into mental and emotional problems. In Sahaja meditation, it’s possible to trace every kind of problem we face back to the innermost being inside us – the subtle energy system.

Finding solutions to problems or trying to deal with them is what all of us do all the time. Correspondingly, there are always techniques and methods available to clear and balance our subtle energy system.
