What if you really can’t meditate? What should you do then?

Whatever we do in life, it is important for us and the people we are dealing with to stay present and to give this present moment everything we have got. This is how we create a better future. This is how we create better relationships. This is how we allow things to happen and not always try to control them. This is how we can let go of the traumas and negativity of the past. This is how we can live a truly fulfilling life.

A mental diet will change your life more than anything else. The concept  is simple and straightforward yet we brush it away like it not  something worthwhile. Things like that are not being taught in school  and are not promoted by the mainstream media. Therefore, we think we can  do without. I am here to tell your otherwise.

The first time I heard this statement, I thought it was an overstatement  meant to glorify meditation. That being said, after many years of  experiment and practice, I have to agree with those words. Meditation is  really something that will change your life for the better. Not only  that, it will also be beneficial to the people around you, and, also,  the world at large.

A lot of what we desired in the past is now something normal in our  lives. We need not glamorize our desires and see them as something that  will change our lives completely for the better. Instead we choose to  see them as something lovely that is completely normal for us to have in  our lives. It will be much easier to manifest our desires and, later  on, not be disappointed by them.

Prayer is a surrender. It means abandoning oneself to the feeling of the wish fulfilled. If prayer brings no response – there is something wrong with the prayer and the fault lies generally in too much effort. Serious confusion arises insofar as men identify the state of prayer with an act of will, instead of contrasting it with an act of will. The sovereign rule is to make no effort, and if this is observed, you will intuitively fall into the right attitude.

We, too often, think that our desire is what will help us get what we  want. Initially yes, the desire will propel us in the right direction.  However, the feeling and strong emotion of desire can often lead us to  the lower unwholesome negative vibrations and can ultimately make us  struggle to get what we want or even prevent us from getting what we  want.

Dropping the ball, falling off the bandwagon, "failing" is completely  normal and expected. Do not beat yourself up. In fact, encourage  yourself and re-commit because every time you fall and get back up, your  resolve and discipline become sharper and stronger.

Letting go/surrendering is not a hard concept nor is it something difficult to do. However, one needs to understand that letting go is like a muscle that needs effort and discipline in order to grow.

When you can create a scene of you as a new person who is free of the  negative pattern you are currently dealing with and you loop it over and  over again, especially when the temptation comes. Your subconscious  mind will bring forth that new person in your life and the vision you  have in your imagination will become a reality.
