Before you begin to explore for ways and means of how to meditate, you need to ask yourself certain pertinent questions first: What has led me to this need to want to meditate? What do I seek to achieve by practicing the art of meditation? Do I truly believe that meditation will help me achieve my aims? For some, the decision to learn how to meditate comes from a frustration with their current state of being, with suggestions to adopt the practice of meditation coming from close friends and associates who might have benefited from the practice of meditation. Whatever the source of the prompting, the answer to the next question should clarify matters a little. Will you be learning how to meditate to fulfill some societal fad or fashion? Or are you seeking to live in a state of being characterized by feelings of love, peace and happiness? The primary purpose of learning how to meditate and making it a daily practice is to achieve a state of peace, love and happiness. This is an achi evable state of being which many of us consider to be utopian and a mere dream.
On the contrary, it is those who cannot still their minds through meditation that are actually living in a dream state! We day dream of the things we want and how to get them, we dream of perceived enemies and how to get even with them, we dream about unpleasant events of the past which haunt us all the time. We also dream about an uncertain future composed of our hopes and fears for that future. When you learn how to meditate you will develop skills which will enable you free yourself from this dream state occasioned by social, parental and other conditionings.
