Hello my friends welcome back to daily breath. I'm Deepak Chopra.

This week I want to dive deeper into a subject that I've introduced previously. Meditation. As well as its companion, Mantras.

Let's recap a little bit.

Meditation is the most powerful tool we have for living Synchro-Sti.

Meditation allows us to place our attention and intention

on the more subtle planes of existence.

Meditation gives us access to all of the unseen, untapped information and energy. The purpose of meditation is to stop thinking

for a time, wait for the fog of thought to thin out, to dissipate and disappear into a cloud and then look beyond the cloud and

glimpse the spirit within. The goal of meditation is to release thoughts quietly, passively.

Thoughts represent all the stress in our lives.

So the goal of meditation also is to release thoughts.

So don't complain about having too many thoughts when you're meditating, you're releasing stress.

The goal of meditation also is to live synchronicity.

And this, at least in my opinion, requires 20 minutes of meditation in the morning

and 20 minutes in the evening. Now we can just think of simple ways of

meditation. So sit quietly wherever you are and let's practice just a breathing meditation. This is a very good way to begin.

Find a comfortable position, sit comfortably, perhaps on a chair with a hard back rest so you don't feel that you have to

support your back. Keep your feet flat on the ground. Keep your hands in your

lap with your palms up.

Please close your eyes and begin to witness your breath.

So observe the inflow and the outflow of your breath.

Is it deep, is it shallow?
