In this book I want to take you into the heart of meditation. It’s so much easier than you might think! Usually when taught, the practice is either over simplified or overly complex. In this text, I’ve preserved the ancient teachings by bringing them to light with a modern medical language of the body and brain. The result is that you enter into meditation with relative ease, and quickly find the calm depths within yourself.As the parable goes, if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime. What I’ve discovered is, if you teach a man to fish with a grounded approach, he’ll quickly become an accomplished expert, exceeding all expectations! That’s the power of meditation based on a medical representation, and my students are the proof.“But I can’t meditate – it’s too hard!” Many will say. Because they think they have to forcefully control their minds. Not so!Meditation was never meant to be a struggle for control, but rather to apply a more powerful technique, which quiets the body first. This calm body reflects back on the mind, and the mind simmers down automatically. This approach will win over brute mental force every time!I’ve been a lover of meditation, and studied Kriya Yoga for over 30 years. In 2017, my guru Ashok Singh gave me permission to teach, and appointed me a Kriya Guru. Everything I teach will always be in line with this system, and in this book I’ll be showing you the underlying core of every meditation approach.First, we will learn to fully relax the body. As the body enters into the Low-Idle-State, the resulting calmness will seep into the mind. The mind then becomes quiet, and so the body calms even more. It’s a domino effect as we awaken the body’s natural system of rest and recovery. All we have to do is set up the first two dominos of entering the Low-Idle-State while Sitting Very Still, and down the rabbit hole we go!Second, we will explore the Kriya Yoga Bliss Program, and how the original Kriya Yoga of Lahiri Mahasaya was designed to infuse the yogi’s life with a little bliss each day. It’s difficult to constantly worry, and always overthink your entire life, when you have an ever-ready resource of bliss inside of yourself! We can be balanced, proactive, creative, and responsible – yet wouldn’t it be nice to cultivate a little bliss while we go along for the ride of our lives? The Kriya Yogi thinks so.Finally, we’ll explore Expansion, which is the heart of the ancient message in the epic yogic text of the Bhagavad Gita. If you can touch Expansion in your meditations, then there is no bar to depth and bliss for you. This three-part recipe of Low-Idle-State, Bliss, and Expansion is guaranteed to give you wonderful results, and be a pure joy along the way!
