IAM – Integrated Amrita Meditation Technique®

INTEGRATED AMRITA MEDITATION TECHNIQUE®

So Speaks Amma

Meditation is not simply sitting with eyes closed. It is a state of unbroken concentration like an endless stream.

...........

Both heaven and hell are created by the mind! Even the highest heaven turns into hell if the mind is agitated; whereas the lowest hell is a blissful abode for someone endowed with a peaceful and relaxed mind.

Amma always says that meditation is as precious as gold. Meditation leads to material progress, abiding peace, and ultimate liberation. Not a moment devoted meditation ever goes waste; rather it brings tenfold gain. And if along with our meditation we also develop compassion, it is like gold with a fragrance, something priceless and utterly unique. A smiling face, a kind word, a compassionate look - all these are different forms of meditation - Amma
