Are Yoga and Meditation two different words with different meanings? No, the truth is not so... we need to understand that it is the path of yoga which shall lead us to gaining Enlightenment within this life. And what does yoga itself mean? The word yoga has been derived from the Hindi root yog and which in Hindi means synthesizing two things. Now, meditation can best be understood this way. Actually, meaning of meditation in Hindi is yoga. There are many ways to learn meditation. There are a number of Meditation Retreats which make it easy to learn and understand meditation.
The process of performing yoga help us gets free of the senses and the mind. Its continuous practice is bound to help us gain absolute control over the senses and the mind. It is the state of nothingness. But, the bigger question is how to perform meditation. There are many references that suggest doing meditation in Shavasana pose help get over the path of enlightenment. This has been in practice in almost every ashram in India. While lying down in the Shavasana pose as we gradually realize the ultimate truth of life.
We become more and ...
... more aware of the real truth within us and that truth is our soul (atman) which resides within our body. Slowly one more fundamental of life shall dawn upon us and that it... it is not the body which has taken the soul but it is vice versa which is the absolute truth. As we realize that our existence as a body is merely a covering... a garment for our real self... our Soul (Atman) within us... we would ultimately come to the conclusion that why not retain our true real self alone. What of the body then? Is it to be discarded? And if the body is discarded... the manifest self of us... our existence in this world would die!
There are many meditation retreats that help us understand the realty of life. People congregate in these ashrams just to understand the real life. There are many more people who just can not undertake the path of enlightenment. They can start with lighter forms of meditation. Though there is no such thing like lighter form meditation, buy yes, some others which are a bit easy to practice. One can start with them and gradually move towards serious stuff like Third-Eye-Meditation. But, the ultimate goal should be the path of enlightenment.
