From Robert Ornstein’s The Psychology of Consciousness“The essence of meditation is the attempt to restrict awareness to a single unchanging source of stimulation for a definite period of time. In many traditions, the successful achievement of this is termed one-pointedness of mind.”Paramahansa Yogananda, a Indian Yogi who helped develop meditation in the West"Lock the eyelid doors and shut out the wild dance of tempting scenes. Drop your mind into the bottomless well of your heart. Hold the mind on your heart that is bubbling with life-giving blood. Keep your attention tied to the heart, until you feel its rhythmic beat. With every heartbeat feel the pulse of almighty Life. Picture the same all-pervading Life knocking at the heart-door of millions of human beings and of billions of other creatures. The heart-throb constantly, meekly announces the presence of Infinite Power behind the doors of awareness. The gentle beat of all-pervading Life says to you silently, “Do not receive only a little flow of My life, but expand the opening of thy feeling-powers. Let Me flood thy blood, body, mind, feelings, and soul with My throbs of universal life.”Click to get to Top of What-Is-Meditation-Links
