Nowadays, there is a huge list of problems in everyone’s life such as marital problems, financial problems, lack of job satisfaction, health problems and inflation to name a few. Sometimes dealing with all these problems at the same time becomes very difficult for an ordinary person. For, after all we are human beings only and we have our limitations in dealing with these problems single handedly. When we are down we reach to god by visiting a temple and praying to god to give us strength to deal with these problems in a better way. We do so because of two reasons, number one we visit temple because we think that god abodes in temple, number two, we pray because we are suffering.
This is not acceptable because if you are religious you should pray regularly to stay connected to god. If you will pray to god only when you are suffering from problems in your life it is nothing but meeting your selfishness. You are seeking blessing of god because you have adversities in your life. It means that it is not important for you to stay connected to god at other times when you are free from problems in your life. This is not done as far as reaching closer to god is concerned, in other words, your act is just not enough and shameful to some extent. The bets way to reach closer to is by becoming a spiritual person.
In contemporary hectic life, we tend to get very tired at the end of the day both physically and mentally. It is very important to relax mind and body for the benefit of your health. But due to numerous issues revolving in our mind at all the times we find it difficult to relax our mind by sleeping. To overcome this problem and to relax your mind one should learn meditation. Apart from relaxing your mind meditation enables you to experience spirituality. Osho, defined a number of active meditation techniques which are easy to learn and helps you improve your awareness and concentration.
The idea is to search for god within you as god resides inside every living being. Thus, your search for god should begin from you only. God is represented by your soul which is unique for every individual. So, to reach closer to god you are required to discover your soul which however is another difficult task for you. If you can manage to build a close connection with your souls all the problems which are disturbing your life will go away automatically. This is because the only way to reach out to your soul is by cleaning your mind of unwanted thoughts which are root cause of your problems.
And there is no other way to get rid of your thoughts than meditation which is aimed at improving your concentration and silencing your mind. When you are learning meditation through traditional techniques you are suppose to focus on your breath. When you exhale you will feel warm air leaving your body and when you will inhale you will fell the cold air entering your body through your nostrils and throat. There are people who find it difficult to learn meditation through breathing exercise for these people there exist other techniques such as tai chi and modern meditation technique known as active meditation introduced by famous spiritual leader Rajneesh Osho.
