SoulTrends - MBPT Program Experience

I have attended the Meditation based Personal Development (MBPT) program on 2-Mar-2019 and 3-Mar-2019 at SoulTrends, HSR Layout, Bangalore. Dr.Sai Sagar who was working as a Vice President at CTS was our faculty for the program. 

During the two days program the importance and impact of meditation was taught. During the program, Buddha’s Anapanasati meditation, watching our own breath is taught.

How much time to meditate ?

One minute per year of your age. Suppose, if a person’s age is 27 years, he need to meditate for 27 minutes per day.

What is the best time to meditate ?

Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. When you are awake and doesn't involve your conscious attention. 

How long to meditate ?

Till thought free state is achieved and maintained.

I have got two important leanings from this program which I would like to present it in the below article.

Lesson-1: When we get stressed, survival mode will be activated in the brain, it induces adrenaline in our body. Since we are not running daily, as in olden days for survival, the unused adrenaline, hardens the muscles and creates pain typically shoulder pain, neck and back pain etc. However meditation reduces anxiety and stress and hence there will be no excess adrenaline secretion in our body.

Lesson-2: All human beings are born with five important abilities namely Innate intelligence, Creativity, Concentration, Self-confidence and Contentment / Gratitude.Our education system, instead of honing these abilities, focuses mainly on money making knowledge and skills. It is the right time to unlearn those knowledge which we have learnt for profession. Consistent meditation would help to enhance our five default abilities. 

What is PREMA ? 

1. Positive emotion & Health
