Part Six: Meditation Technique and Tips that you will not be able to adequately find words to describe it. No one can do this for you, you have to attain it yourself in order to understand how it feels. For example, when you eat a chili others may ask you how it tastes, but you can only tell them that it is spicy. They do not really know what spicy means until they try it for themselves. Thus, you cannot describe inner happiness to others. You cannot attain inner peace for others and others cannot attain it for you. This is the truth of life. It must be done on your own. The place for meditation can be at your home, at a meditation centre, or at any place that is quiet and calm: a porch, park, lake. It should be well ventilated and have just the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, so that you will not feel uncomfortable. Finally, for the meditation posture, you should sit cross- legged with your right foot on your left leg. You can use a cushion or pillow to make your position more comfortable and help you to sit for a longer period of time. If you cannot sit cross-legged, you can sit on a chair or sofa or wherever you are comfortable and can sit for a long time. But you should not feel too relaxed or comfortable because it can cause you to fall asleep. Family Day By Day 166 The Universal Meditation Technique of Relaxation and Joy
