          From the Homoeopathic point of view meditation does not mean that you take a mantra and you say everybody get out of the room I want to meditate and try to divert your mind by concentrating on some mantra. In this way suppression happens. True meditation being aware, not doing anything, not pushing away anything. But sitting and just watching the sensations that are there in your body and in your mind. Just watching, not reacting to them, not going with them, not giving energy to them. Suddenly there is some tension about money and immediately you start thinking which stock should I sell ? How is the market ? It should be ‘I have tension. The tension is coming just watch it. It is going. You experience some physical sensation, watch it. It goes. So just be true to yourself. Be aware of what is happening within you. When you do that a very interesting fact comes out that the problem is not outside, it is inside. This is the main problem. The world outside is not the problem, it is the turmoil within you. Nothing in the world outside can affect you if there is no turmoil within you. So do not look outside. We spend lots of time in the day looking outside, what is he doing, what is she doing, what can I do, how can I behave, how can I do this to him, etc. Most of the time of day goes in that.

          Atleast for some part of the day close your eyes and you look inside. What is within. First you become aware of the breath. Most of the times we are not even aware that we are breathing. We are so busy looking outside. We don’t even know we are breathing until we get asthma. Then you know I am breathing

          So become aware, whenever there is a turmoil, there is a problem , an emotional problem look inside, become aware of what is happening within you. This will not only help you become aware but you can also tell the Homoeopath that these are the things I observed and he can give you a better remedy. Meditation sessions are regularly been held at the clinic by Dr. Rajan Sankaran, where a group of 8-10 patients are called and are taught the technique by Dr. Sankaran himself.
