This is my entry for this week's ecotrain question of the week.

Absolutely, spirituality and technology can live together and they have been living together for ages. There are some aspects of spirituality that are key to the development of technology from the beginning of time till date. In order to be innovative, creative and inventive a person must be in the right frame of mind and this is what meditation and yoga, an aspect of spirituality offers.

If we look back in history to study about some of the notable inventors such as Thomas Edison who invented light bulbs and electricity, Alexander Graham Bell who invented telephone, John Logie Baird who invented mechanical television, Nikola Tesla who invented fluorescent lighting among others, we'd observe that they created these innovative ideas that turned out to be a generational blessing through deep thinking and connections with their inner minds.

Yoga and meditation is a form of spiritual practice that helps the mind to perform efficiently and effectively through conscious breathing and postures. A person that practices yoga is conscious of all the signals that the body is sending to the mind, and this enables the mind to function well, thereby increasing creativity, inspiration, imagination and motivation to accomplish great things. A relaxed mind is filled with so much vigor and vitality which improves the level of input and output.

In other words, all I have been trying to emphasize is that the great inventors of our time are highly spiritual people who have a deep connection with the greater being through spiritual practices such as yoga and meditation. A lot of critical thinking is required to be able to think and come up with great inventions such as a telephone, fluorescent, electricity etc. At that time, these are things that no one have ever thought of not to talk of creating, so it is believed that so much efforts were put into conceiving these ideas and this can only be possible when the mind is at peace through spiritual practices like yoga and meditation.

Apart from the forefathers of inventions, in our world today, technology gurus are fond of thriving in a serene environment where they can think deeply without distractions. It is almost impossible to be productive and innovative in a noisy and loud environment. Therefore, it is good to conclude that spirituality and technology can live together.

Thank you for your time lovelies.
