A part of this topic is covered up in the Silence part of the Fundamental concepts and Definations tab. After studying the concept of silence we will now try to understand what meditation actually is.
We all are aware of the 5 sense organs. The senses of sight, hearing, tasting, feeling and smelling. We all, generally, have tools such as hands and legs which we use to manipulate the given situations and take actions.
Now, there are times when suddenly you feel a fit of anger or times when there is this deep broken down feeling runnig down from your chest to your lower abdomen. You try to figure out what it actually is. Once you sense the source of a problem, it is easy to manipulate it out of our way OR manipulate ourselves out of the way of the problem, BUT, we just can't seem to sense what or where the source of the problem really is.
That is where the concept of Meditation comes into action. Out of its many purposes and implications, SENSING the different aspects of the non-physical realm is one of its first and foremost purposes.
Once you have learnt to SENSE your thoughts and emotional status and much more, then you can manipulate your thought system to control your emotions. This one of the most best advantages of meditation as things start from here...the non-physical realm.
Lets take an example to understand the same:
There is an old enemy of yours who you haven't faced in 5 years and suddenly he shows up in front of you. Then the emotion of anger is triggered withing you which in turn brings up the memmories of the time 5 years back about how he cause you terrible pain and suffering. The emotions of anger is so strong a flow, that even your thoughts start flowing with it. One memmory after the other...like in OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), a chain of thoughts start flowing in your mind on which the Anger feeds and as the anger gets stronger, so does the flow of thoughts. And not only do the memmories of the past pop up, but also, in your mind you start to visualize how you would punch that teeth out of the guys face and how you would kick him...all is visualized in great detail.
Now, just as you are approaching the bad guy, you are thinking about giving him the punch of a life time and the mighty kick of glory, SUDDENLY, you realize that you are in a fit of anger. You realize that your actions are based on thoughts of the past and also the fact that thoughts based on ANY negative emotions will bring pain and suffering in near future, if not now. Then via self talk, you tell your self to calm down... you make a conversation happen with yourself. You make your thought system more powerful than your emotions. You LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS via YOUR THOUGHT SYSTEM.
This you can do by practicing mediation. Awareness is everything. Once you became aware of the fact that your thoughts were based on a negative emotions and the results are going to be painful, you controlled them. Because no on would WANT pain and suffering in their life...no one would invite it...atleast not knowingly.
So by the grace of meditation, here, we managed to manipulate a group of thoughts in such a way that they would bring under control the negative emotion of anger and hence, bring peace, not only in our inner self, but olso OUTSIDE.... ;-)
So now, we can conclude two points here:
1) Meditation is fundamentally a sense concept, used for sensing aspects of the non-physical realms.
2) Via meditation, we can manipulate concepts of our non-physical realm such as emotions and thoughts for inner-peace and much more.
