3 Stages of Meditation

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 '𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐥', where the mind begins to turn inward from the outer world. Here, we gently detach from sensory distractions and quiet the noise of daily life. It’s a process of slowing down and creating mental space—like drawing a curtain between the soul and the world—so that awareness can settle within.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 '𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧', where attention finds a single, steady point—often the awareness of the self as a peaceful being or the remembrance of the Supreme. Thoughts may still arise, but instead of chasing them, we observe and return to our focus. With practice, the mind learns stability, and peace begins to deepen into stillness.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 '𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧', where meditation becomes a state of union between the soul and the Supreme Source. Here, there is no effort, only experience—of light, love, and pure silence. This communion uplifts the intellect, purifies emotions, and fills life with spiritual power. In this stage, meditation transcends practice and becomes a way of being.
