Meditation gives you the courage to change that which can be changed,the strength to accept what can not be changed and the wisdom to know the difference.
Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Life, Love and Laughter was the motto of BMS's founder Guru Raj Ananda, one of the greatest Yogi's of modern times. Nowadays he lives on through the meditational practices and philosophical teachings that he imparted before his passing in 1988.
Meditation itself is not about concentration, effort, or endurance. It is effortless, refreshing and renewing. It is opening oneself to the infinite possibilities that a person can achieve or just be. As simple as it might sound, but just being or truly being ourselves seems to be one of the most elusive things. Too often, we seem to have lost ourselves in what we 'should' & 'shouldn't' do, think or say. Somehow the innocence has gone and along with it - the playfulness and enjoyment of life. Well, it is still there! Maybe forgotten, maybe buried under years of conditioning, but it is still there. Little by little, slowly, slowly, 'catch the monkey', that's how meditation works.
Many experience dramatic life changes and wonderful personal experiences, initially. But the true rewards lie in regular practice of this the most 'Royal' (Raja) of Yogas, as it becomes a way of life. There are many ways, many paths, many detours and cul de sacs, but there are no short cuts. The most direct route is to cut straight to the heart with a personalised programme of meditation techniques with a personal mantra, that embodies the true SELF, the true YOU.
If you're prepared to help yourself, then we will match that, you only need ask. There is a network of teachers and healers throughout the UK and sister organizations around the world, but that's not what it's about. It's about the individual and their connectedness with themselves and the whole.
Separation is but illusion, but is at the core of feelings of loneliness, depression, etc, so ACT NOW!
