Real meditation is living in the present moment. To test that use the "wall clock" technique
I hope you have a wall clock. Just watch it consciously for 1 minute. also tell your kids to watch it consciously for 1 min. After min, try to note down what are the different thoughts that engulfed your minds during that 1 min period. When you start observing your thoughts, become a witness of your thoughts, your thoughts will begin to disappear. I am sure some different thoughts must have erupted during that 1 min time. If no thoughts engulfed your mind, you managed to consciously see the min hand, second hand completing that 1 min, then congrats you have already achieved a certain state of meditation.
Put simply, we should be completely absorbed in a particular task when we are engaged with it. That can not happen when random thoughts are erupting. If we are conscious of what we are doing at any given moment, then thoughts can not invade our minds. The point is that if we are eating we should be eating only no other thoughts. This habit will be generated when you start from breathing techniques. Because breathing is connected to our mind and thought process. Just observe when you go for deep breathing, you will feel kind of cool, calm and relaxed state, and you are not engrossed with random thoughts.
To testify this I remind you what is state when you are sleeping. When we begin to sleep, every one of us have different kind of breathing, that is deeper, some people also snore, and during that time we sleep. That means deep breathing is making us relaxed and we have been doing this every day. The only difference is that we are doing it unconsciously at night. Now if we begin to do this consciously then also we will feel that kind of relaxation even when we are engaged with our daily routines.
That is how it should be, if random thoughts start disappearing and not engulfing your mind your psychological state will outperform, for students their memory will rapidly rise. That is how Vivekanand also developed sharp memory power. Everything is connected to breathing. Fix your breathing, you will be home.
Sure Sir.
