We learnt a lot in these Nine years

We learned a lot ... in these twelve years

Another year of dedication has resulted in this day. On this day, 12 years ago, I( Saurabh Jagdish Madan) created the first infographic. What an amazing journey it has been. Using only creativity and the amazing infrastructure the world has already created, we have been able to stand on our own feet. We have given life to many beautiful thoughts on meditation, made the world a little more beautiful and meditated with many more friends from around the planet. Here is to many more to come.

Watch your feelings as though they are waves created by passing boat

We all have observed that our feelings, like sadness, anger, excitement or loneliness, directly affect our daily life. Some days, when we get up in the morning, we feel low and aimless, on another day, when we have a goal, we feel excited about it. For example, when someone has remarked, " that you are not good enough" we feel low, but another day, when we get positive feedback, we are happy. Can someone's remark affect us? Can an external factor generate a feeling that can snatch our natural self? Yes, for quite a few of us. Watch your feelings as though they are the waves created by a passing by boat. How do we achieve this state? Meditation is one way to help us learn to be more aware and accepting of our emotions. Dealing effectively with emotions is a key leadership skill. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- When my thoughts spill over

During meditation, many thoughts may appear in the form of worldly objects or emotions like good food, money, a car, music, a mobile phone, love and my love for my pet. These emotions sometimes reach a point at which they can no longer be controlled or contained. Years of frustration may even spill over into the form of violence. At such a juncture, meditation comes to our rescue. It calms us down and develops greater understanding. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Meditate to make every moment a precious pearl

We all know that sand irritates the oyster, and the oyster responds by turning it into a beautiful pearl. We too should try to turn our difficulties into a pearl, pick the pearls and string them together. Every moment we enjoy makes our string of pearls more precious. Meditate to make every moment enjoyable. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Living each moment completely

We have come across phrases like, "I have to do it now!", "Now or never". Such phrases are indicative of the present moment. What happens when a realisation takes place that I have to do it now? We suddenly leave everything and get charged to take action. Like the lion in the infographic, which is charging to jump across to the other cliff. He is not thinking about whether he will be able to jump across or not. He is living each moment completely. Meditation trains us to live in the present moment completely. When we start living in the present moment, the quality of life changes. Keep Meditating Write-up by NEERA

Be a Meditator- Put your whole mind to open the reservoir of energy.

One may not even realise that in the fast pace and hectic schedules, most of us keep a base level of anxiety and stress in the new norm of life. But the tendency to get sucked into the past and the future can leave us perpetually worn out and feeling out of touch with ourselves. To be with ourselves, whenever we are doing something. We must put our whole minds into it. Meditate to strengthen our capacity to open the reservoir of energy. Keep Meditating Write-up by NEERA

Be A Meditator-Sow seeds of meditation

I remember, way back in the seventies, sometimes during the rains, we got slightly brown colour water from the tap. In those days, there were no water purifiers or RO in use. Mostly, people boiled water and left it overnight for the mud to settle down. Then one day someone told me that if I stir alum four or five times after boiling the water, the mud will settle down faster. It did happen when I tried it. Today, when I look back and think about that incident. Our minds also get filled up with various thoughts, worrying about the future, still clinging to past experiences, or when we are agitated, our minds get muddy. If we sow the seeds of meditation, it will act like an alum. Our minds will get clearer faster. Make it a habit to practice meditation regularly. Keep Meditating Write-up by Neera

Be a Meditator- Resisting change may only hurt.

Things may not go as planned for everyone all the time. Making a plan and setting a goal is simple, but when things go sideways, we also need to adapt to new situations and adopt new plans. Adapting to a new situation is not easy for everyone. Can meditation help in this regard? Yes, meditation can help us calm down and we may be willing to give it a second thought.

Be A Meditator- Grounding oneself to the present moment

Sometimes, when we are out in nature, we come across a beautiful flower. If we keep looking at the flower, after some time, we find ourselves in a blissful state. What does the flower do? It helps us ground ourselves in the present and connect to essential life vitality and universal love. It also detaches us from everything around us. " Look at the flower as if your whole existence depends on this look"~~~~~~ Osho Keep Meditating Write-up by neera

Be A meditator- Be in the present moment, Be prepared

This infographic shows Bruce Lee in action, while his opponent is caught off guard and thrown off. Who wins? The one who has prepared himself and waits to catch the opponent unprepared. The unprepared mind can not even see the outstretched hand of opportunity. Sometimes one may have luck, but to put your whole mind into present action, besides preparing with regular meditation, meditate for a fraction of a second before getting into action.

Be A Meditator- Meditate to switch off from planning to present moment

There might have been moments when you were totally flooded with thoughts of the project you were planning. You were so engrossed that you even missed a meal or did not notice things around you. It does happen, the time spent dwelling on the project will surely continue in your present moment and the future. But if you are thinking about something else, then it is difficult to live and enjoy the present moment. Living in the present moment means letting go of the past. Living your life consciously, aware of each moment. Awareness can be strengthened with the help of meditation. Meditate to switch from moment to moment, like planning for the required time and then returning to the present moment. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Become aware of your sense perceptions

You might have come across someone who just walked through the room and did not notice the person sitting there, spilt milk, a fallen pen or an open window/door. I was quite surprised when I noticed this for the first time in a person very well-known to me. Being aware and being alive are two different things. We are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch that help us to take in the world around us, but perception is the process of becoming aware of things around us in the present moment. Being in the present moment is one of the virtues we can achieve through meditation. Regular meditation can develop the skill of being in the present moment. One needs to work hard on it.

Be A Meditator- The key to your awaking is, complete presence in this very moment.

What is my, this very moment? At the moment I am writing about infographics. I am totally in it. If I try to start drawing also, then it is another moment. When I am drawing I won't be writing. When I am writing I am not drawing. If I start looking at the things around me, I stop writing. If I continue to write, then the objects are still around me, but they are not part of my action, they are not affecting my thought process. For all practical purposes, they don't exist for me. This is being in the present moment. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator- Meditate to wear out interfering thoughts

It is said that during meditation, thoughts come and go. But what can we do with the interfering thoughts which appear when we are not meditating? We can not force these thoughts to not be there or to not appear again and again. If we try to push away anything by force, then many a time it bounces back with double force. Then what do we do? Meditation can help us to wear out these thoughts. When we are caught up in such a tricky situation, if we snatch out some time to meditate, we will find that these disturbing thoughts will start dissolving. Keep Meditating Write-up by NEERA

Be A Meditator- This moment is complete

You might have observed that, we human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present, we are always thinking about what we did or what we could have done. If we don't complete something, it remains on our minds, knocking to be completed. However, it is not always possible to complete a task instantaneously, then what do we do? If we treat this moment as though it is complete, then we don't get continuously drawn into events, thoughts, emotions, and actions, past, and future. A continuous, and sincere meditation can help us in achieving this skill. Keep Meditating

Be A Meditator-A Complete alertness is required to accomplish the unsurmountable.

Some of us might have seen a person walking on a rope, live in a circus. Many precautions are taken, to protect the artist in action from any injury. But the person in the infographics is walking on a rope that is tied to two separate cliffs. in between, there is a valley that is hundreds of metres deep. Can the rope walker afford to get distracted even for a fraction of a second? No, he can't take chances, a complete alertness is required. In the same way, to accomplish the toughest task extreme alertness is required. Meditation can train our minds to be in, complete alertness. Keep Meditating
