“A Lot of People Don't Meditate Because They Don't Think it Works… Because They Think it Doesn't Work, They Don't Meditate…”
AMITABH founder, Shivashaktivigyan
This quote by our founder makes us go deeper and realise that we all have meditated, but have always failed to move into a deeper state of meditation.
We always think,
Meditation is focus and I can't focus
I can't meditate because my mind is running overtime at all times
I don't meditate because i don't have time
Meditation doesn't work for me
It's too difficult to wake up early to meditate
I can't sit for long in a meditative posture it hurts
Meditation is a waste of time.. It doesn't do anything for me
I don't have a proper place to meditate in my environment …
One should only meditate in ashrams
Meditation will take me away from my regular duties of work and family
Meditation is a religious practice and i am not religious

How can I meditate?
This 3 day course is an effort to present the knowledge of meditation to the beginners and busy people of today in a simple and easy to understand language. We need to start from an absolute beginner’s perspective on meditation and then we need to slowly transition to intermediate and later on more advanced techniques. Though this course has been created from the point of view of absolute beginners, even the more advanced users will also find it very useful. You must have read or heard in your yoga classes that in order to meditate properly, a focused attention on breathing is all that we require as a first step. Later on, as we go deeper into our practice, this becomes an almost second nature to meditate. However, it is often easier said than done owing to the ever flicking nature of the mind. However, once you understand the concept and make a daily routine, things starts to fall in line.
The course is a sort of living book and requires an active involvement on the part of the attendee. The meditation instructions and techniques mentioned here require few words but demand unlimited after thoughts. You can not evaluate their effectiveness unless you try them. You must try them for getting some real benefit from them.
