What is Meditation in Practice?

by Parmjit Singh, PhD


Meditation is:

• Steady transformation of mind through consistent observation.

• Cultivation of mindfulness awareness.

• Curbing the seamless chatter in mind and tapping into the powerful intelligence of mental, physical and spiritual connection.

• Psychological intervention designed to modify learned negative behavior.

• An internal revolution full of joy and calmness.

Benefits of Practice
• Meditation offers a welcome relief from thought pollution and sensory overload.
• It might help person arrive at more integrative statement of awareness in everyday life, by mechanism that changes integrative processes in brain.
• It is a very powerful therapeutic tool, which promotes health and quality of life even in terminally ill patients.
Constant observation allows one to know what ‘stuff’ one is made of.
• It helps to instill a sense of peace and happiness and gradually alters the outlook toward life.

Good Morning Parmjit
I apologize for taking so long in contacting you.  I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent.  Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.

Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our
meetings.

Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.
