What do you do with it? Do you keep it to yourself? After your session of yoga/meditation, when surrounded by people do you find it easy to maintain a peaceful attitude? I often find it difficult to remain peaceful when in the company of others... but I want to share my peace with them. Thanks Love and positivity to you all xxx
I find this problem as well, and havent found the anwser. Maybe its why many great spiritual people lived a very secluded life, meditating in caves like mohammed and spending 40 days and nights in the desert like Jesus, until they found enlightenment. Buddhism teaches that you should try to have friends who are spiritual aspirants also. This helps not to be drawn back into a worldly desires.
i agree with you to a certain degree. I prefer to meditate by myself and i enjoy the contentness by myself, but as the dalai lama says one must share their compassion and peace with others. Yes i know people can sorta bring you out of your good zone, but enlightenment the ultimate is to be able to maintain that focus 24/7, and i imagine it takes along time and alot of hard dedication, but as my mentor says, take things slowly, things will come to you, so i hope you enjoy meditation and live for the moment peace love acceptance
It is said that great Yogis and so on can bestow their peace on others, but for us, this doesn't seem possible, at least, not all the time. But if somone sees you are peaceful, then it can perhaps have a good effect on them, esp. if you remain peaceful when there is some general excitement, and others around are not peaceful. But also, if we can attain to some inner peace and balance, it fits us all the better to be able to help others in many ways. For one thing, if we aren't busily obsessed by our own petty problems, we may be able to see the need of others which otherwise might go un-noticed amidst the clamour.
Meditating daily, even for 5 minutes, will strengthen the inner self and you will be able to more consistently come back into your own peace. meditating daily is harder then it sounds, atleast for me, but god life is good when i do it for a few weeks straight.
When you are truly peaceful, it radiates to those around you and lives in them long after you have moved away, just like the fragrance of an incense stick lingers in the room long after it has ceased to burn. Sharing peace is not something you DO, it happens automatically. The minute you try to share it, you lose it yourself. The only way to share it is to live it and through livng peace, let it percolate into the hearts of all who come in contact with you. Om namo bhagavate sri Ramanaya.
Finding peace oneself is like curing ones own sickness of mind, so that one can be more effective in activity without needless hangups. The effects of meditation and of curing oneself are the first steps towards a better tomorrow for oneself and the world. Sure, maybe the intense internal bliss dissapates after a session on the cushions, nonetheless, something remains and it grows as one continues. One can better serve when one is free of their own limitations.
And moreover, if one merely wants to be more successful then one finds that with less internal noise their path is much smoother.
I think she meant the disposition of feeling awsome after a great yoga class. the peace everyone else is speaking of is the same, yet different in context. try giving people hugs after yoga, or give someone a nice massage. =)
My solution is to spend some time alone contemplating what I've got out of my session. As this is just as much a part of the meditation as the rest of it I do not like to be disturbed, in fact I think it's best to seclude yourself until you feel ready for people. As for sharing the peace. People pick up on something and are drawn to it, let them. I like to keep the secret of happiness a secret and merely tap the side of my nose. This makes people want to find out more. I would only tell someone unless they are ready to put what I say into action. Blessings Sebbi
