Raja Yoga Meditation –
Meditation Technique
Your first step - Raja Yoga Meditation - technique
The first step in learning the raja yoga meditation technique is to sit. Sit quietly for some time and let your mind run on. You simply wait and watch. Knowledge is the power says the proverb, and it is true. Until you know what the mind is doing you can not control it. Give it the rein. Many hideous thoughts may come into it, you will be astonished at what it is possible to think. But you will find each day the minds vagaries become less and the mind becomes calmer. Always start your daily raja yoga meditations in this manner.
2nd step - Raja Yoga & Meditation technique
Now Think! The second step in the raja yoga meditation technique is to think. Think of your own body and see that it is strong and healthy. Your body is the best instrument you have. Think of your body as being as strong as adamant, and that with the help of this body you will cross the ocean of life. Freedom is never to be reached by the week. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself........

Swamiji:
One day in the temple garden at Dakshineswar Sri Ramakrishna touched me over the
heart, at first of all I began to see that the houses – rooms, doors, windows,
verandahs – trees, the sun, the moon – all were flying of scattering to piece as
it were – reduced to atoms and molecules – and ultimately become merged in the
Akasha (space|). Gradually again, the Akasha also vanished and after that my
consciousness of the ego with it: what happened next I do not recollect. I was
at first frightened. Coming back from the state, again I began to see the house,
doors, windows, verandahs, and other things. On another occasion I had exactly
the same realization by the side of a lake in America.
Disciple:
Might not this state be brought about by derangement of the brain?And do I not
understand what happiness there can be in realizing such a state.
Swarmiji:
A derangement of the brain! How can you call it so when it comes neither as the
result of delirium, from disease nor intoxication nor as illusion produced from
queer breathing exercises – but when it comes to a normal man in full possession
of health and wits? Then again this experience is in perfect harmony with the
words of realization of the inspired Rishis (Sages) and Acharyas (teachers) of
old.
