During meditation the mind and body experience deep rest
Rest is how the body naturally heals itself
The body heals itself by throwing off Stress and Toxinsopening the door to a healthier, happier life
The Meditative State is known as Restful Alertness Chopra Global © 2019
Between every thought there is a space, whichis both silent and a field of infinite possibilities. This is also the home of the thinker of the thoughts, our Essential Self
Through the regular practice of meditation we begin tointegrate the silence, infinite possibilities and who we really are, back into our everyday lives

Your mantra is a condensed version of YOU
It’s your vibration, a formation of your life-force (prana),a concentrated prayer at a very subtle level
Your mantra will become your friend, guiding you throughout your life, eventually bringing you home to the highest state of consciousness
Awakening the Divinity within

Your Mantra has no particular meaning
Associating your Mantra with other words, names, orattaching a meaning to your Mantra keeps your awareness at the
active thinking level of the mind

Thoughts, restlessness, distractions –Frustration, emotions, sensations, images are common if you have a lot of turbulence in your life, they are the release of stress
Slipping into the space between thoughtsSometimes you may become aware that you hadn’t been thinking the Mantra or any other thoughts, this is the Silent Field ofInfinite Possibilities

in meditationApproach each meditation with innocence, never with expectations
The purpose of meditation is to enrich your life
