	Meditation Handbook
		Meditating with eyes fully closed is fine as long as the room remains brightly lit, so that enough light passes through the eyelids to keep your brain alert.
		Meditation must not be thought of as something that is only done in a physically rigid state, far removed from the world of work and play.
		Meditation should be a form of cosmic hedonism, not a penance one must perform as an obligation.

	Sivananda Om Site
		Meditation is not something that a Yogi has to teach you; you already have the ability to shut out thoughts.
		Meditation is an experience that cannot be described, just as colors cannot be described to a blind man. All ordinary experience is limited by Time, Space and Causation.
		If it is not feasible to sit for meditation at these times, choose an hour when you are not involved with daily activities, and a time when the mind is apt to be calm.

		Meditate every day in the same place, at the same time, and you will create a hunger for meditation within your body and mind.
