@ Ankit – You ask and you answer yourself:)
‘ human beings are like telephones. A phone is dead without a connection. Similarly, if we are not connected to ourselves, we are not alive. Connection to your self is what experiencing God is.’
Think about it!!
You can be alone, and not feel lonely, if you have the connecting power:))

Interesting thoughts…

I considered resorting to yoga as reactive because it was a reaction to backache. Sitting and complaining is a passive act. However, the most positive thing will be consciousness of the importance of healthy body and acting on it, irrespective of your fitness.

I wish if you could elaborate on this one: Being ‘lonely’ and being ‘alone’ are completely different attitudes in life towards the same situation…..Which do we wish to experience?

“Meditation and Mindfulness are not mutually exclusive. Experiencing the depth of each moment is meditation! ” – Very interesting perspective, Kalyani. Thanks!

Very nice article:)
• Have you noticed that everybody has a unique smile? Beautiful…
• I feel resorting to yoga after having a back pain is a positive and proactive step and not a reactive one …Reaction would probably be sitting and sulking, worrying, blaming, complaining etc etc….

Sharing my perspective!
Meditation and Mindfulness are not mutually exclusive. Experiencing the depth of each moment is meditation! Eyes could be open or closed
Regular meditation sharpens awareness levels and your mind wanders less and less. Mindfulness is in a way, just one of the types of meditation. To add, the key to mindfulness and any other form of meditation is not effort, but effortlessness….

1) Meditation takes you from restlessness to awareness. Being ‘lonely’ and being ‘alone’ are completely different attitudes in life towards the same situation…..Which do we wish to experience?
2) Meditation is the glimpse of the ‘Fullness’ of ‘Emptiness’… Experience it
3) Don’t believe ‘ANYONE’ till you have experienced it yourself

Beliefs can shake, but the conviction of one who has experienced, cannot be shaken. Let the magic begin…..

Good stuff Ankit. Just to enhance your last sentence – meditation is mindfulness and vice versa. You can meditate on anything and immerse yourself completely in that moment – this could be a bite of tasty food that you took or the first feel of cold shower in your bath. Every moment has its amazing side – one has to be ready to experience it!
