Hi, My name is “Ravi Kiran..” currently I am living in the United Kingdom. My meditation journey started in the year 2007.. I was going through a depression phase in my life.. that is when I started my Meditation.
I have two phases in my life.. a phase before meditation and life after meditation. There is a tremendous transformation in my life after meditation.
In the year 2007, I was in Sweden.. my project failed.. I could not do better. I was going through deep depression… I was already an alcoholic.. I used to drink every day.. I was a chain smoker… I was an Insomniac..
I used to sleep two to three hours a day. Sometimes I even used to take sleeping pills to get sleep.. but none of these could help. Wherever I need to express.. I could not express myself. I was having all the phobias..fears.. tensions and health issues.
It was the need of the hour that is when, one of my friends “Pranahita..” she spoke to me over the phone saying “This is the Meditation technique and if you do Meditation, it will help you with all these issues.” She was trying to teach me meditation. But, I am always making fun of her saying “What is your age?” and “You are suggesting that I do Meditation?”
I could not sleep and was having all the tensions and thought to give it a try. I asked her “What is the technique..?” She said “Observe your Breath..” “Is that all you do.. in meditation..?”
I thought “Meditation” is a big process. She said, “No, it is simple.. you need to cross your legs.. clasp your fingers..close your eyes and slowly start observing your Breath.” I started doing that.
She mentioned that.. whenever you get any thoughts.. just make sure you do not give any energy to the thoughts. Try to cut them softly and then come back to “Breath”. Then, your mind becomes empty and you receive the “Cosmic Energy..” I thought I would give it a try.
After fifteen to twenty days I started feeling happy for no reason.. I started feeling very peaceful.
I was addicted to smoking and alcohol. But after these Forty-Five days of meditation, I gave up drinking and smoking.
I was not having the confidence at work and I was not very efficient. When I started practising meditation for more number of weeks.. and months.. I started feeling more confident. I am more confident in expressing whatever I need to express.
“Meditation..”, “Vegetarianism..”, “Reading books” suggested by senior meditators and sharing the experiences, these are the things I started implementing.
I introduced meditation to all my family members.. friends and they also started seeing benefits. They are more confident and are more efficient at work.
I became a “Vegetarian..” I used to be a ferocious meat-eater. I used to eat a lot.. more than four days a week.. When I was doing this meditation.. I started feeling compassion towards animals.
Plant-based diet on a long-term basis.. is definitely beneficial and I am also “Vegan” since the year 2012. Ever since I became a “Vegan” I feel more energetic.. I feel so light and I feel at peace.
I used to always take things personally.. if someone is saying something.. But, after meditation.. I realized that people talk out of their own understanding and wisdom.. they do not always mean whatever they are saying..
We have to be very careful.. about the kind of words delivering into this world.
We always blame people.. we always blame the situation.. we always blame our capabilities. But, after meditation you realize.. “You create your own reality..”, “What you sow.. is what you reap..”
Friends, I suggest this meditation is very simple and easy.
Just observe your own breath..and the benefits are immense.
Anyone can do.. there are no restrictions..
Start meditating everyday and create a better life for yourself.
Thank you..!
