How to Relax

How to Get Peace of Mind

In my 5 Principles for Living an Enlightened and Good Life, number 1 is to relax and have a mind which is at ease with Reality.  The key to this is having the right mental attitude, which in Tantra is described as Whatever Comes, Let it Come, Whatever Goes, Let it Go.  But it is always great to hear this most important approach to living from different spiritual disciplines, and so I would like to present to you how Lao-tzu explains the importance of relaxation in his timeless text the Tao Te Ching.

Good Parenting

Raising Children Tips

         Happy Little Taran Mehta

Parenting is certainly one of the most rewarding aspects of life, but it is also one that requires great skill and finesse to do successfully.  With children lies the future of humanity and therefore, if we are able to raise great children, we are going to establish the foundation for a great future for man.  Parenting, unfortunately does not come with an owner’s manual, and if we mess it up badly, we can’t trade in the ruined kids for new ones either , so it is important we give this role some serious thought and try our very best to do it right.

Timelessness and Meditation

Meditation to Transcend Time

Thinking involves time and that prevents meditation, and meditation involves being and that destroys time.  This is the fundamental battle raging in our lives.  Either we absorb ourselves in time and thought, or we give ourselves to the eternal now and transcend it.  The direction to take is really obvious, for with meditation you get bliss and with time you get suffering.

Mastery of Meditation Online Center

Online Meditation Certification Course

Student Testimonial for Online Meditation School and Certification Program:

Dave Writes:

The course was everything I hoped it would be and more. Your depth of knowledge and teaching skills are excellent and all instruction was presented in a easy to understand way. I regret I have no suggestions at this time, because you have an excellent program.

One of the most satisfying aspect of creating and running Mastery of Meditation and Yoga, is the success that the Online Meditation School and Teacher’s Certification Program are having.  The vision for creating a meditation center and university was always there, but that is was going to be realized online through this website and blog, was certainly unanticipated and a pleasant surprise .
