In practice of contemplation the exercise is two-fold:
Exercise of concentration, contemplation and reflection on a
single theme.
Exercise using auto-suggestion to effect attitudinal change.
Contemplation of eternal truth such as "transitoriness" comprise
the first irrational fear by auto-suggestion is an example of
the second type. Relaxation and the steadiness of body are
essential pre-conditions in both types of exercise.
Achieve your goals using your own inner subconscious mind power.

According to the Greek philosophy:
Contemplation
was an important part of the philosophy of Plato. Plato
thought that through contemplation the soul may ascend to knowledge
of the 'Form of the Good' or other divine Forms.
Benefits Of Contemplation And Auto-Suggestion:
Practice of auto-suggestion will bring about radical attitudinal and
behavioral changes. For integrated development of personality it is
necessary to bring about changes in the chemistry of the body, i.e., the
synthesization of various chemical factors in the body which have profound
influence on the mental states and behavioral patterns must be transmuted.
These chemical factors are mainly the hormones secreted and distributed by
the endocrine system. Exercise of auto-suggestion influences the functioning
of hypothalamus and pituitary which, in turn, produces a strong state of
faith and belief. Exercise of autosuggestion (bhavana) is based on the
practical application of faith and belief. The exercise brings about the
necessary change in the body-chemistry, thereby weakening the forces of
disease and ultimately curing it. The process of producing or transmuting
the internal chemicals is a form of faith-healing or spiritual-healing.
Freedom from Sickness.
Another form of psychotherapy has also been established in the system of
Preksha Dhyan by which practitioner can remain calm and composed even in the
state of serious illness. Moreover, he can experience mental happiness
without any drugs.
One of the most important benefits of the practice of contemplation is the
attainment of the state of bliss and blessedness.
One attains bliss (Samadhi) when one is free from physical sickness (vyadhi),
mental agony (aadhi) and emotional malaise (upadhi). Only when one has
overcome the trinity of physical, mental and emotional disorders, one can
hope to attain sustained happiness.
This means that if one desires to choose the other way of life, he is to
overwhelm and subjugate his carnal desires of lust and hate. And when one
has discarded the path of evil trinity and adopted a way of bliss, his way
of life changes radically. In fact bliss is not a miracle nor is it
something reserved from a few chosen people. It is a way of life for anyone
and everyone who cares to choose it. One who realizes this truth - this
science of life - this art of living, one can live a life of sustained
happiness, that is bliss.
