An ordinary person may consider meditation as a worship or prayer. But it is not so. Meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. "Watching your breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation.

Meditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation means 'a cessation of the thought process' . It describes a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns . The observer (one who is doing meditation) realizes that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one.

A Tibetan Lama was being monitored on a brain scan machine by a scientist wishing to test physiological functions during deep meditation. The scientist said - "Very good Sir. The machine shows that you are able to go very deep in brain relaxation, and that validates your meditation". "No", said the Lama, "This (pointing to his brain) validates the machine!".

These days it is commonly understood to mean some form of spiritual practice where one sits down with eyes closed and empties the mind to attain inner peace, relaxation or even an experience of God. Some people use the term as "my gardening is my meditation" or for jogging or art or music, hence creating confusion or misunderstanding.

The word meditation, is derived from two Latin words : meditari(to think, to dwell upon, to exercise the mind) and mederi (to heal). Its Sanskrit derivation 'medha' means wisdom.

Many years ago meditation was considered something just not meant for modern people, but now it has become very popular with all types of people. Published scientific and medical evidence has proved its benefits, but it still needs to be much understood.

Traditionally, the classical yoga texts, describe that to attain true states of meditation one must go through several stages. After the necessary preparation of personal and social code, physical position, breath control, and relaxation come the more advanced stages of concentration, contemplation, and then ultimately absorption. But that does not mean that one must perfect any one stage before moving onto the next. The Integral yoga approach is simultaneous application of a little of all stages together.

Commonly today, people can mean any one of these stages when they refer to the term meditation. Some schools only teach concentration techniques, some relaxation, and others teach free form contemplative activities like just sitting and awaiting absorption. Some call it meditation without giving credence to yoga for fear of being branded 'eastern'. But yoga is not something eastern or western as it is universal in its approach and application.

With regular practice of a balanced series of techniques, the energy of the body and mind can be liberated and the quality of consciousness can be expanded. This is not a subjective claim but is now being investigated by the scientists and being shown by an empirical fact.

BMS Yoga Center

“Body –Mind-Soul Yoga Center”  a non-commercial , charity  center  was formed in 2008.

After I became a yoga teacher and gained confidence at our workshops, I decided to do something more with my teaching abilities .With the help of my co-teacher friends ,we organized a shibir at one of our family premises. The shibir was well attended and a great success.

Later , we organized many such camps and workshops and finally started with regular yoga classes to spread the awareness of yogasans , pranayams , meditations , mudras etc.

The purpose of our center is ” yoga for all” irrespective of age, religion, and physical conditions.
Our motto is to spread the awareness of eight limbs of yoga and inspire people to practice them in their daily life to overcome stress and establish peace within and around ,

At the yoga center one can walk in for a good yoga-meditation session any time with a prior appointment or in the regular classes.

The center also conducts short term and long term sessions for the local residents as well as for the Travelling tourists to India.
Many non-resident Indians and other nationality persons have taken advantage of our center during their travel and stay in Mumbai, our team of yoga teachers would be glad to assist any one who approach us for short term or long duration yoga -meditation sessions either in groups or individuals.

Since the yoga center is a charitable center , all the proceeds of the yoga center go towards charity and donations for education to less fortunate children.
