INTEGRATED AMRITA MEDITATION TECHNIQUE

IAM is a simple combination of yoga, pranayama and meditation that takes just 20
minutes a day. It is a meditation technique for modern days. The technique is a
synthesis of traditional, time-tested methods suited for the current mental conditions,
time-constraints and needs of modern man.

The Art of Mental Mastery

"I was amazed by how little effort you have to put into the meditation
and how much benefit you get out of it."
Thomas Kloos, 29
Web-designer, Austria

Meditation is the art of mental mastery. The way we perceive the world around us
completely depends upon our mind. In our search for happiness, we essentially have
two optionsmodify the entire world so that everything turns out exactly the way we
want it or modify our mind so that we are able to be happy, content and peaceful,
regardless of what happens in the external world. The former is obviously impossible.
We have very little control over our external world. The only hope for happiness lies in
controlling the inner world. Meditation is a key element in this process.
Take up the Remote Control of Your Mind
Amma, the Spiritual Master who synthesized IAM Integrated Amrita Meditation
Technique, says, "The remote control of our mind should rest firmly in the palm of our
hand." Imagine one with such mental control. Emotions, ideas and memories are at his
beck and call. If anger comes, he can change the channel. The same with jealousy and
greed. He can recall any past event, like reversing a DVD. If he wants ideas, he only need
turn to the "idea channel" and a stream of creative ideas will flow forth. No more staring
at the blank screen of writers block. Total and complete mental controlthis is what
IAM (Meditation) offers.

Daily Mental Maintenance

The mind is like a machine. But it is completely up to us to maintain that machine
properly. Only then will we be able to get the maximum potential out of it. We should
also know how to turn the machine off. This, sadly, has become a lost art, and the very
reason we see so many people around us "blowing fuses." IAM (Meditation) Technique
is a daily mental maintenance system.

Benefits of Meditation
Improved power of concentration, relaxation, expansive thinking and awareness are the
basic benefits of IAM (Meditation).
"It is like a muscle training for your mind. It sharpens your concentration. At the same
time, the technique calms the mind down. So it also helps you relax.
"When I face difficult situations, I am more laid back now. If I have a problem with
somebody or if I am facing some strong emotions, I'm able to cope with them much better.
IAM helps me to stand back and watch my emotions. I have gained the ability to respond
intelligently rather than react emotionally."
Andreas Hirsch, 23
Social worker, Germany
