There is a saying that history repeats itself. I have always believed this to be true. How true, is something I experienced for myself today. So here I am, at 9:11 PM ready to go to bed, but just thought I should put my thoughts on positive thinking on blogosphere before I hit the sack.
Modernism, as defined earlier means progress, progress and progress. It does not, however, mean innovation led progress. All progress need not arise from the new. It can be a respect for the old as well. That is why modernism is fantastic. It accommodates all, in all times and in all spheres.
One such beautiful technique is meditation. Though not religious, meditation helps one connect to the inner self, and this quintessential ode to spiritualism makes it an integral part of just about any religion.
I learnt to meditate today, and believe that is the best thing that can happen to anyone. For the benefit of anyone who happens to read my writings on this blog, let me just share my knowledge of meditation :
STEP 1 : Find a clean place
STEP 2 : Relax. In whatever pose you wish. If you want to stand, stand. If you want to sit, sit. If you want to stretch, stretch. If you want to itch, itch ! The whole objective is "to calm down".
STEP 3 : Close your eyes. Concentrate. Focus. Enjoy the darkness you behold.
STEP 4 : Breathe Deeply. This isn't something specifically mentioned anywhere, but I find it extremely useful in the "calming down" exercise.
STEP 5 : Let your thoughts drift. Do not and I mean do not stem your thoughts. The trick is to lose all your stress. It is like removing excess baggage from your shoulders. If for any reason, you feel that the exercise is not working well, open your eyes. Drink water and continue once again when you feel like it.
STEP 6 : Slowly open your eyes after 10 minutes. Enjoy the beautiful day that lies ahead. Enjoy the new you.
I have tried this and it really works. This is one of the simplest things we learnt long, long ago in the past, yet its relevance in modernism cannot be questioned. Meditation existed 500 years ago. It exists even today. It is one of the few bounties of the past that have been expertly woven into modernism.
Modernism is enlightenment. Enlightenment is modernism.
