Is Bacons essays are dispersed meditations?
In "Of Studies", we find various ideas regarding study. The author gives us ideas about the uses and abuses of reading books, ways of reading and so on. But we don't find any connection between the ideas. He jumps from one topic to another topic very abruptly, although the main topic, study, remains unchanged. None of the multitudes of ideas are fully developed, but then one may argue that an essay by its very nature implies a mere attempt and not a complete treatment of a subject. This is true but there should surely be some kind of smooth flow of ideas from one to another. There sentences have a tendency to stand by themselves, having no or little link with preceding or succeeding sentences.
The very first sentence of this essay reads like a string of aphorism or maxim. In the very first sentence of this essay, Bacon tells about the three chief uses of studies; the use of studies for delight, for ornament and for ability. He also gives excellent advices so as to why and how one should read. Then he speaks of those who spend too much time in studies are temperamentally lazy. Here her says, "To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar." Actually in there sentences, Bacon tries to show the user and causes of studies, but next he jumps to another idea about studies without any logical connection between the preceding and the succeeding sentences. Here he starts talking about the interrelationship between studies and practical experiences. Studies help a man to overcome deficiencies that he has by nature, and studies give shape of natural talents. Here he says, "They perfect nature and are perfected by experiences for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning by study". This is an example of dispersed meditation.
Next he jumps to another track. That is the right attitude towards reading. Here he says that one should read a book so that one can think carefully about what it says and then judge its value, saying, "Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them".
Next he jumps to the modes of study and their uses, saying, "Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man". In the previous sentence where he was talking about what we should take from study, now he says what study gives us.
Next he discusses about various branches of studies and their curing ability. In this part, he says that History makes a man wise, Poetry makes a man imaginative, Mathematics makes a man's mind keen and subtle of so do other branches of studies. Actually every branch of knowledge has its curing ability. Studies cure mental just as the appropriate physical exercise cure effects of the body.
Dispersed ideas are also found in the essay, "Of Truth". Here also we see that the central idea is about Truth, although he gives various ideas regarding truth and truthfulness in dispersed way. Although we find various ideas like the people who do not care for truth, reasons why truth is disliked, poetic untruth, nature of truth and truth in civil business, we don't find any connection or interrelationship among there topics.
At first Bacon tells the readers about the people who don't care for truth. Certain people find great pleasures in changing their opinions frequently because they desire ultimate freedom to act and think, which would not be possible if they had to believe in a fixed principle. Here Bacon says, " Certainly there be that delight in giddiness and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as acting". And he gives the idea that standers of truth in religions, philosophical and moral spheres keep changing from time to time. Then he proceeds, very abruptly, to examine the tendency of human beings to feel more pleased by lies than by truth, and finds it difficult to explain as to why people should tell lies for the sake of lies. He says, "that man should love lies" for "lies sake"
Then he jumps to the fact that the harm that is done by lies that sinks into the minds of people and settles down there.
Next he speaks about the values of truth, which can be realized by those who have experienced and understood it. The essay concludes with a warning that the wickedness of falsehood and breach of faith with receive their due punishment in the Judgement Day. Actually, Bacon doesn't offer a particular thesis on the subject of Truth but merely records his thoughts as them come.
In summing up it can be same that Bacon's essays are the full of dispersed meditation. The ideas that come one after another don't have much harmony between them. Actually his writings are full of aphorism for which the sentences of his essays seem not related with one another. And all these things are seen in various essays of Bacon.

"Namaste" is said to recognize the Divine Spark that dwells in all of us.

What is meditation and what are some tips to make a meditation class?
Meditation is the path to enlightenment. One begins by choosing a meditation technique, which helps one to become more aware of one's thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Over time, one's awareness grows, and one becomes conscious of deeper and deeper levels of one's being. Finally, the dew drop of the individual "I" drops into the ocean of cosmic consciousness, and enlightenment is attained.
When starting out, you can begin on your own.
One meditation technique is called gibberish. Make all kinds of sounds, as long as they are not a real language. Pretend you are talking in a language no one knows. Make loud sounds, soft sounds, angry sounds, sad sounds, just create any non-word sounds you like. Really get into it! And move your body around too.
After five or ten minutes, stop, and sit silently for five minutes, becoming aware of your thoughts, feelings, or sensations. Just watch. Do not try to change or fix anything. Do not try to stop the mind. Love yourself, and accept whatever happens from your heart.

Meditation is the stage wherein the consciousness level should be at the highest possible planes, though it is difficult to reach this stage. Such sort of manifestations do happen in the process of meditation which literally carry no worth while meaning. There are three stages of human consciousness, awake, dream and deep sleep. The question in reference pertains to the second stage of consciousness where it is associated with dreams. There can be no significant interpretation to this situation. But this situation can surely lead to higher levels of meditative stages, with more efforts.

How does meditation help couples get along?
Meditation is great for mind, body and soul, but it's not magic. If your partner and you are having problems, you can meditate until the cows come home and he won't change one bit. Most men think secretly that there is nothing wrong with them and it's always the woman who has the problem. Even when most couples go to a marriage counseller the man MAY go along to placate his wife, but isn't really serious about it at all and seldom tries to mend the marriage and so, I doubt unless your partner has either suggested this on his own it will work. Meditating takes a lot of hard work and commitment and I don't think he will stick it out. It's a learning process to combine mind, body and soul and hours of work. You just don't shut your eyes, hum and magic happens. Sometimes if the problems in the marriage are difficult ones it's best to have a trial separation and if you were meant to be together then you will be.It reduces the tensions, angryness between couples.
The fundamental goal of meditation is actually to get to the *core* of your goals, needs and desires, bypassing as the superficial stuff that clouds the decision-making process. In order to succeed, you need to get beyond the superficial, robotic reactions that you've developed over time, or the notions of socially acceptable or expected ideas. When you meditate with the goal of reaching the "self" (using whatever techniques you choose, or trying to reach whatever goals you seek), you have to stop trying to solve problems on the spot. You have to stop letting short-term results impact on the way you think. By clearing your head completely -- and this does take time, dedication and effort -- you can let your memories, needs and wants "bubble up" more smoothly. The notion of "Nirvana" is simply the act of reaching that pure realization of the basic things that make you tick. So what I'm getting at is that, indeed, meditation can be a fabulous technique to determine what exactly each person wants. While therapy does the same thing, this allows you to figure out what you need from the relationship if it's going to work. It lets you come to grips with where you really want to be in life. More importantly, you can determine if this partner is someone who can be with you through that. Especially when you are wrapped up in tense relationship dynamics, little hang-ups can make actions and words clouded by emotions. You don't make rational decisions that are good for the long-term. Meditation can help you get to the long-term, fundamental things that can either heal a relationship or make you realize it should end.

No! Pilates and Yoga are not the same. Yoga is a spiritual exercise with slow movements that get held for a longer period of time. Pilates focuses on the mind/body connection (but not in a spiritual way) and is done at a flowing, faster paced. Some of the exercises are similar but the bulk of the exercises are very different.
