I also consider singing, surfing and gardening to very meditative.” SongAttentionMeditationEffectsStyleWalkingSingingYogaSittingFlowPerformancesProfoundTraditionalPay AttentionGardeningSurfingDoing NothingWalking Meditation Author:Jason Mraz

“The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity. Its object is not personal Mukti, although Mukti is a necessary condition of the yoga, but the liberation and transformation of the human being. It is not personal Ananda, but the bringing down of the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, our Satyayuga - upon the earth.” WorldHumansEarthSpiritualHumanityHeavenChristHuman BeingsPracticeConditionsEffectsObjectsDivineYogaTransformationAimWork OutKingdomsLiberationKingdom Of HeavenSpiritual TransformationDivine NatureDivine LifeNature And Life Author:Sri Aurobindo
