Meditation Practice （靜心練習）

The practice of Samarpan Meditation is very simple. Samarpan means surrender, as we sit to meditate, we surrender our egos, thoughts, desires, regrets and anything which hinders our spiritual progress. Swamiji says to see ourselves as pure souls. At center we begin by chanting a mantra with the attention (concentration) on the crown chakra (top of the head), then remain together in silence and come out with prayer for universal peace and spiritual progress.

Sit comfortably preferably cross-legged on the floor for meditation, The mind turns inward when you close your eyes and it is easy to turn your mind away from external objects. The appropriate time for meditation is before sun-rise in the morning because the atmosphere is peaceful at this time and there is less pollution of thoughts therefore one can concentrate better in meditation. The radiating energy which spreads through our body after morning meditation help us to do our daily activity peacefully through out the day. One can meditate from 3.30 am till 10 pm, but it is better to meditate between 3.30am - 9am for morning meditation.

Additional evening meditation for 15-30 minutes helps to remove whole days thoughts and mind become calm & steady. We feel light and happy and can sleep peacefully.

沙瑪版靜心的練習是非常簡單的。沙瑪版的意思是臣服，當我們坐下來靜心時，我們臣服自我，思想，欲望，悔恨以及一切障礙我們靈性成長的東西。Swamiji（斯瓦米吉）說視自己為純淨靈魂。在中心静心时，我們会先唸誦咒語，把注意力放在頂輪（頭頂），然後保持沉默，最後结束前有一个祈求宇宙和諧和靈性成長的祈祷。

最好雙腳交叉舒服地坐在地面上靜心，當你閉上眼睛時你的注意力會往内，這比較容易让你的头脑遠離外在之物。最適合靜心的時間是早上日出之前，因爲那段時間的氣氛很寧靜以及思想的污染也很少，靜心时比較容易专心。靜心之後能量散佈我們的身體，让我们能够平安的执行一整日的活動。人們可以從淩晨三點半至晚上十點之间靜心，但是最好的晨间靜心為淩晨三點半至早上九點。

額外傍晚十五到三十分鐘的静心有助於釋放一整天的思緒，讓头脑變得平靜和穩定。静心后我們会感覺輕鬆及快樂，而且可以睡得安稳。
