Philosophy Meditation

The modern lifestyle with its excesses and worldly desires, the constant need to be connected, and the rapid development in technology, has made stress and lifestyle-related diseases the norm. The need for meditation, thus, is more acute. Meditation calms the mind, brings focus and enhances the senses, resulting in a better quality of life and work. And with the right Mantras, meditation becomes a highly effective tool in unleashing the immense potential within oneself.

You have the incredible potential to be, do, and receive whatever you desire, imagine, and truly believe. Unfortunately, only a small number of people achieve their full human potential, because they fail to recognize and harness the infinite power of the subconscious mind - the divinity within them and around them.

How to Relax includes meditations you can do to help you achieve the benefits of relaxation.

These three sutras are the most important texts for the Chan (Chinese) and Zen (Japanese) Buddhist traditions, though they are very different in character and provenance.
