Centering on prayer an meditation III


Achieving a passive attittude is the most important and the most difficult. This means a " letting go" feeling. YOu have to achieve a passive attitude to remain calm and quite when the phone rings or when somebody calls you .If you jump t oanswer , you are not passive.
It isn't necessary to assume a difficult lotus position or yoga posture to meditate properly. The important thing is that a person is comfortable.For instance, one should sit quietly with two feet on the floor , hands on his laplap, spinal column straight but not stiff and eyes closed. It's alright to meditate lying down if one can maintain wakefulness and not fall asleep.
Physiological effects. Meditation superior to sleep in controlling tension or stress. Meditation brought about effects beneficial to health that could not be achieved by drugs with harmful side effects.
The practice maybe called centering, contemplation, relaxation response or meditation. Be aware that they are all the same.
