"Meditative Moments" are moments beyond moments. They keep you realizing that you are eternal and infinite. They never leave you from your chase. They keep reviving themselves. They go on getting deeper and more mysterious. They start pulling you. You fail to keep yourself uninfluenced by them. Slowly you drown in them. The doors of the inner world start opening one after the other and you feel as if you are an alien on your planet Earth. I am in relationship with ‘Meditative Moments’ since childhood. Sitting for hours in Padmasana (Lotus posture] on the open terrace in the afternoon and playing the game of Meditation. Inviting spirits using planchette and to marvel at their actual arrival, to be effortlessly in continuous state of witnessing. Then came a period of divagation. But those moments walked with me like a shadow and embraced me again. There is no erudition in this book. If you are interested in experiences related to meditation and you want to delve deeper into those experiences, then this book is for you. It has four chapters. First chapter is about various experiences of the subtle world. How Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Sai Baba, Goddess Dhoomavati, Vanadevi (Forest Goddess), Osho, Unknown Monk, Avadhoot Baba Sivananda etc met me in the subtle world and inspired me, helped me. Second chapter is detailed explanation of various experiences through which a spiritual practitioner undergoes while practicing meditation. For example the feeling of vastness, the pulsation in the penis, the movement of subtle bodies, the spinning and opening of the chakras, feeling the omnipresence of the consciousness, the unfolding of the past and the future, the manifestation of the inner world etc. Why and how do these experiences knock us? Which experiences are positive and which experiences are dangerous to be drowned in? How can we deepen these experiences? I have tried to put light on these factors as per my experience. Third chapter explains how we can practically use meditation for solving problems. How using meditation we can transform the future, heal physical and mental illness, understand, break and transform thought chains, purify body, mind, intellect and consciousness. And fourth chapter is about the benefits of meditation, how it improves your work skills, helps you set up your goals and so on.

Think of all the moments you "lose" stuck in traffic, standing in line, waiting for a download. And think of all the moments you "waste" working when you're not focused, or fiddling with your phone. What if each of these moments offered you an extraordinary opportunity? In One-Moment Meditation, now published in eight languages, Martin Boroson distills the philosophy of time into a simple form of meditation that you can do anywhere, anytime. It begins with an exercise that takes just one minute per day. With practice, this takes less and less time, until it only takes a moment. Then each and every moment gives you a chance to reduce stress, refresh your mind, and open yourself to new possibilities. This unique approach to meditation was featured as a thirty-day series for stress reduction on Oprah.com. Playful, profound, and above all, practical, One-Moment Meditation teaches you that inner peace is not a distant goal reserved for saints and sages, and it doesn't take a lot of time: it only takes a moment. "It's hard to overestimate how helpful this technique could be." - Psychologies magazine "This gem of a book is a marvelous launching pad for anyone who wants to rest in the now, the only time there is." - Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine "Martin Boroson's fantastic book ... is all about learning to condense the practice of meditation into these fleeting moments. And about how, from a certain perspective, a sequence of fleeting moments are all we ever really have anyway." - Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian

Discover how mindfulness can help you with healing. More than twenty years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn showed us the value of cultivating greater awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, in TheHealing Power of Mindfulness, he shares a cornucopia of specificexamples as to how the cultivation of mindfulness can reshape your relationship with your own body and mind--explaining what we're learning about neuroplasticity and the brain, how meditation can affect our biology and our health, and what mindfulness can teach us about coming to terms with all sorts of life challenges, including our own mortality, so we can make the most of the moments that we have. Originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book titled Coming to Our Senses, The Healing Power of Mindfulness features a new foreword by the author and timely updates throughout the text. If you are interested in learning more about how mindfulness as a way of being can help us to heal, physically and emotionally, look no further than this deeply personal and also "deeply optimistic book, grounded in good science and filled with practical recommendations for moving in the right direction" (Andrew Weil, MD), from one of the pioneers of the worldwide mindfulness movement.

In Meditation Moments To Melt The Heart, three points are used as a triad to lead the reader to apply God’s Truth. At one point of this triangle is a touching and true story.
