meditation
is without words or action.

Nevertheless a small joke now:

Two mothers are meeting each other. "How are you?" "Oh, what should I say, one of my children is drinking, the other is smoking, how should I feel, when I´m thinking about them? How are you?"
"Listen, my son is meditating now." "Oh, what is that?" "I dont know exactly, but it is better than sitting and doing nothing."

Yoga is telling us three things, which are barriers to a successful meditation:

Egoism can be destroyed by selfless serving.

Absentmindedness gets conquered through asanas, pranayama, kirtan...

The veiling of mind, which hides the reality and gives us the consciousness of being the body. The question "Who am I?" is giving the right answer here.

Come to our yoga retreats in Austria and see in whole yogadays a living concept, how to bring down the barriers in meditation  easily.

We are looking forward to showing you, how this works.

The self is the semen.
Ahimsa, brahmacharya and truthfulness are air, water and light.
Dharma is the root, teaching of spiritual knowledge and selfless serving are trunk and twigs.
His (gods) name are the gentle leaves.
To dip into meditation is the bud.
Nirvikalpa samadhi is the blossom.
Absolute bliss in brahman is the fruit.

Sadhana is nothing less than self-realization.
A semen, which is realizing the fruit, his birth.
(Swami Sivananda)
