Meditation
(ability to contact our true Self)
Meditation works for everyone who is willing to devote some time to the practice. For a beginner, a successful meditation is simply one that leaves you feeling tranquil and rested.
Find a place in your home where you will not be disturbedby anyone or anything, including your cell phone or television.
Sit on the floor in crossed leg position on the edge of a medium sized cushion or folded blanket. This posture is called Sukhasana, or “posture of ease”. If you find it difficult to sit on the floor it’s perfectly fine to meditate when sitting in a chair with the soles of your feet on the floor. The key is to keep your back erect, which simultaneously facilitates the flow of breath through the main pathways along the spine and cultivates the prana (life force). Once you begin to move your prana, you will become more limber, and stiffness will gradually disappear.
How it works:
Meditation is a type of mind & body exercise. It actually refers to a number of techniques that promotes relaxation, helps in building internal energy and induce compassion. It also helps in attaining physical and mental calmness, enhancing health and treatment of diseases.
Meditation is the art of attaining mental discipline to get afar the impulsive mind into a deeper state of calmness and relaxation. There are numerous meditative principles that emphasize on different psycho-physical and spiritual practices with several goals like the attainment of higher consciousness, increasing focus, self-awareness, creativity or just a peaceful mind.
Types of Meditation:
- Concentrative meditation:– It facilitates on usage of one’s own breath, a picture or sound to quieten the mind. Ayurveda and Yoga both believe in a strong connection between one’s breath and mind. A calm mind facilitates slow, regular and deep breaths.
- Mindful meditation– This is one of the prominent Buddhist meditations. It allows you to acknowledge the contents around you like images, thoughts, sound, smell, etc. without getting identified with the content. The person practicing this sits quietly and lets the mind wander without reacting to the content.
- Transcendental Meditation: This type of meditation has origins with Lord Krishna. There are also references of this type of meditation in Buddhist works. The knowledge of meditation was passed on for ages from Shankaracharya to Brahmannada Saraswati. But it was Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, who made it famous worldwide.
