Introduction Meditation can be an exercise where one uses a personal approach such as concentration and focuses on a specific object, idea, or activity to bring attention and awareness and to be mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable. Scholars have found it elusive to define meditation, as traditions differ both

within various societies. Meditation is practiced in many religious traditions. Early records of meditation (Dhyana) are found within the Vedas, and meditation plays a pivotal role in Hindu and Buddhism's meditative routines. Since the 19th century, Asian meditative techniques have spread to other cultures. They have also found application in non-spiritual contexts such as business and health. Meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and pain and increase peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being. Research is ongoing to understand the consequences of meditation on health (psychological, neuroscience, and cardiovascular) and other fields. Meditation has proved challenging to define as it covers a good range of different practices in many traditions. In widespread usage, the term "meditation" and the phrase "meditation practice" are often used imperceptibly to designate curriculums found in many cultures. These can include almost anything claimed to teach the mind's eye or show calm or kindness. There is no definition of necessary and sufficient criteria for meditation that have gained universal or widespread acceptance within the fashionable scientific community. In 1971, Claudio Naranjo noted that the term "meditation" is used to denote words that are different enough from each other to make it challenging to figure out what meditation is. The persistent lack of consensus within the literature seems to be the impossibility of defining awareness.

Get comfortable and prepare to take a seat and remain still for a few minutes. When you stop reading it, you begin to concentrate on just your natural breathing and exhalation. Pay attention to your breathing. Where do you feel your breaths the most? In your stomach? In your nose? Try to keep your focus on your breath and breathing. Stick to your breathing for 2 minutes. Take a deep breath, expand your abdomen, then exhale slowly, exhaling your breath as your stomach contracts. If you experienced these types of deflections (and we all do), then you made an important discovery: Simply put, this is another ideology. Once we go to sleep in our head, on automatic pilot, it does not let our thoughts go here and there, say, long or past, and essentially, we exist within the moment. But this is where most people live - and very uncomfortably if we are honest, okay? But it does not have to be this way. We "practice" mindfulness, so we can figure out how to accept it when our brains do their standard everyday acrobatics, and perhaps make a stop for a touch from it, so we can choose what we want to do. In short, meditation helps us build a healthy relationship with ourselves. It is estimated that 95% of our behavior runs on autopilot. This is because neural networks reduce all our habits, turning many of our sensory inputs into manageable shortcuts per second to act during this crazy world. These default brain signals are so efficient that they often remind us before we get into old behaviors what we need to try instead. Mindfulness is precisely the opposite of those default processes. It is executive control rather than autopilot and enables deliberate action, willpower, and decision making. But it takes practice. The more we intentionally activate the brain, the stronger it is. Whenever we do something consciously and new, we stimulate neuroplasticity, activating our dark matter, which is filled with new sprouting neurons that have not yet been prepared for an "autopilot" brain. But the problem here is this: while our conscious mind knows what is best for us, our subconscious mind causes us to make our way through life. How can

we trigger ourselves when we need it most? This is often where the notion of "behavioral design" comes into play. This is how to keep your conscious mind within the driver's seat. There are two ways of doing this - first, slowing down the subconscious mind by placing obstacles in its path. Second, removing the barriers of intentional brain passage so it can regain control. Shifting the balance to provide more power to your conscious mind takes some work, however. Here are some ways. Put a meditation reminder near you. If you try to do some yoga or meditation, put your yoga mat or your meditation pillow in the middle of your floor so you cannot miss it as you walk by. Refresh your reminders regularly. Say you choose to use sticky notes to remind yourself of a replacement intention. This can work for a few weeks; on the other hand, your autopilot takes over the brain and old habits appear once again. Try to write yourself new notes; Add variety or make them fun. That way, they can stay with you for a long time. Create new patterns. You can try a series of "if so, that" messages to create easy reminders to intentionally transfer to the brain. As an example, you could possibly come up with, "If the office door opens, then take a deep breath," keep in mind that you are nearing the start of your workday. Or "If the phone rings, take a breath before answering." Every deliberate action to shift to mindfulness can strengthen your conscious mind. Once you have figured out an essential sitting meditation practice, you might want to think about other meditation types, including walking and lying down. While previous meditations used the breath as meditation for training, these below meditators specialize in different body parts. Try this: Immediately put your feet down. With or without your shoes, it does not matter. Then track or scan all over your body, gradually all the way to the top of your head. The purpose of this exercise is to see it together with your whole body: fingertips to shoulder, butt to the great toe. The only rules are no decisions, no thinking, no worries (all activities that make you want to think); Just sign up with the physical feeling of being in

your body. Aches and pain are subtle. You do not need to do anything here. You are just watching. Start focusing your attention on different parts of your body. You can spot a particular area or go through a sequence like this: legs, feet, sole, heel, above the feet), through the legs, pelvis, abdomen, lower back, upper back, chest shoulders, fingers, just below the arms, shoulders, neck, various parts of the face, and head. For every aspect of the body, swing for a moment or two, and observe the multiple sensations. The moment you notice that your mind has gone astray, return your attention to the part of the body that you remember for the last time. If you shake your head during this body-scan exercise, that is fine. Once you realize you are shutting down, take a deep breath to help you and perhaps reorganize your body (which can also help wake it up). When you are ready put your attention to the part of the body you remember the last time. You cannot tie yourself to unique feelings towards yourself or anyone else. Instead, you can practice reminding yourself that you only deserve happiness and ease, which is the same for your child, family, friends, neighbors, and everyone else in the world. This love-loving practice involves quietly repeating phrases that give good qualities to oneself and others. You can begin by enjoying your own goodness - calling out the things of the mind that you have done to the good and the bad and rejoicing in the memories that celebrate the ability for the good of all of us. Silently recite phrases that reflect what we want most deeply for ourselves forever. Traditional phrases are: ➢ I can sleep in safety. ➢ I can also get mental happiness (peace, bliss). ➢ I can also bring physical pleasure (health, freedom from pain). ➢ I can accept it easily. Repeat the phrases with enough space and silence in the middle so they fall under a rhythm that pleases you. Focus your attention on at least one word at a time.

Every time you notice your attention has gone astray, have pity on yourself, and release the distraction. Start to repeat the phrases without identifying or frustrating yourself. After a while, imagine yourself within the center of a circle made up of people who are kind to you or who have inspired you because of their love. You may have met them, or studied them; Perhaps they now live, or have existed historically or perhaps mythologically. That is the cycle. As you imagine yourself within its center, experience yourself as the recipient of their love and a spotlight. Slowly keep repeating the phrases of love and affection for yourself. To close the session, skip the visualization, and quickly repeat the phrases for a few more minutes. Whenever you are doing this, you turn your old, hurtful relationship into yourself and move forward with the strength of mercy. Below is a list of the three major types of meditation, which comprise most of the meditation today. Many popular meditation methods, such as the Jose Silva method and the Sedona method, fall into these methods. I once found a meditation book that covered more than 100 meditation techniques - but most of them were fine-grained variations of the ones below: Still meditation or contemplative meditation Focusing on an object or process by focusing on it, like your breath, a flame, a mantra, a scene, music, etc. An open focus is maintained. This shows you are focusing on something; you have an honest awareness of everything happening around you and in your mind. Moving or Walking Meditation Gaining awareness using simple repetitive steps. Some examples are tai chi, yoga, or perhaps simple walking exercises. Concentration meditation This is often practiced in religions. It is almost like a Mindfulness Meditation with 2 differences: (1) you consider a spiritual prayer, (2) you need to

concentrate on a closed focus where you remove your awareness from anything other than worship. While often the multiple faculties of thought on how to meditate, the essential purpose is the same - to boost your consciousness or energetic "vibration." Brainwaves in Meditation Most people use meditation to reach the alpha brainwave frequency - where deep relaxation occurs. It may be habitual to reach opposite brainwave frequencies, especially with meditation music's help (read the section below on meditation music). There are five different brainwaves: - Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta. Note that whenever our brain displays each type of wave, one of them dominates the consciousness. Gamma (100–38 Hz): This, once we face a state of extreme stress and anxiety, motivates us to transcend our specific activities and achieve peak performance. Consider the days when people performed incredible feats of behavior beyond their average ability — for example, a mother picks up a car to save her child, winning against overwhelming odds. People playing video games like Final Fantasy 7 ~ 8 can be ready to associate it with border breaks. Beta (38–15 Hz): This is often our waking, conscious state and the standard frequency in which we work. It is characterized by logical, analytical 'rational' thinking and mental alertness. Alpha (14–8 Hz): The alpha state is the bridging state where the conscious mind meets the subconscious (between beta and theta) and is, therefore, a gateway to deeper consciousness levels. It is a very calm, relaxed state - we come to this frequency when we are resting once a day. Here, we get information from our subconsciousness and wisdom, intuitive guidance, creative ideas, and even epilogue. As in Reason # 6, the 10 reasons you asked for meditation, meditation provides you with inspiration - through the alpha state. Many famous people, such as Einstein and Edison, have used the alpha state to realize clarity and to find practical solutions to problems that they cannot

solve in their conscious state. Theta (7-4 Hz): Once we enter the paradox's sleep, we change to the current frequency. During this state, our subconscious is dominant, and we enter a trance state. This is often an extensive state of meditation - we can feel our mind-expanding beyond physical boundaries, including our bodies. Delta Brainwaves (3–0.5 Hz ): The slowest of all brainwave frequencies, delta occurs when we are in a profound sleep. We are utterly unconscious at this stage. During this state, our physical therapy is thanks to the triggering of human somatotropins. If you are doing new meditations, I highly recommend you pay close attention - such as from someone or within a pre-recorded audio file where someone is instructing you. This may make the method more comfortable to follow. Two appropriate resources where you can download free guided meditation are the Silva method and explore meditation. I have used both before, and they are both well-paced and straightforward to follow. Use of meditation music Some people may want to use meditation music, while some are better at meditating in silence. Meditation music helps in transforming you into a better state of consciousness for 2 reasons. First, music provides expertise for you so that you do not wander around in your thoughts. Secondly, meditative music vibrates at a better level than traditional themes, and it puts you into a better vibration than an average person. This is often because meditative music can also be called 'consciousness enhancer' music. Within the pool of meditation music available within the market, some are able to raise consciousness more effectively than others, so you can listen and choose what you find most valuable. Some noteworthy musicals are nature sounds, while guided people like Paraliminals make statements to inspire you in a specific situation to quickly achieve your goals. I meditate with and without music, relying on my purpose. If I want to be inspired in a selected state, I can use music. Sometimes I enjoy meditating in a free-flowing way where I do not use any theme, immersing here and now

and within the environment. It should be a personal space free from external disturbances. You want to feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in it. If you have found a bedroom for yourself, it is probably best suited inside your bedroom. When you choose a spot, clean the space around it. Remove any pieces of the clutter lying around. My meditative place is ahead of my bedside table - the table itself is a meditative altar with crystals, rocks, flowers, and candles. Another favorite spot is on my bed. You can see pictures of it here. Then, just sit back and observe the internal dialogue going on in your mind. Let them swim. What are you thinking? How are you feeling? Just maintain; do not connect. Many people probably think they need to force themselves to not think and block all their mental thoughts in meditation. It is quite different. You still let your mind think, but you are not connected. You are playing the role of a passive observer and watch them from behind your head. Say, for example, if you suddenly have an idea that says, "I have to go shopping tomorrow," to see it means knowing what a specific notion is. If you proceed to react with thoughts, such as needing to be upset that you just need to shop, or deciding what groceries you have got to shop for or need to shop for them, you engage with the idea. Do not do this. Your essential position in meditation is to see these thoughts, not to connect with them. One way to find out is when your focus counts slowly from 1, 2 is to thank all 10. Repeat once after reaching 10. Whenever you are distracted, pay attention to the last number you were reading - this is often indicative of how long you focused your attention. Try again, restart from 1, and watch the last minute to travel beyond this point. The presence of those thoughts during meditation means they are clearing up. These thoughts have always been present in your mind; You do not know yet because, inside your head, many ideas are screaming for attention! And now, through meditation, they are exiting one by one. After repeated reflection, you can gradually reach a replacement level of

mental Zen-like quietness. If you feel that your mind is calming down now, try to meditate for a few days in a row - you can find a replacement in which mental peace can be found. When I started meditating regularly at the end of last year, I reached a stage where my mind became so calm that whenever I had an idea, it literally meant "sound." This freedom from mental clutter allows me to focus a lot more than before - it seems as if all those thoughts were subverting me within the past, whether they were positive or negative. This prevented me from entirely focusing and staying in the here and now. Meditate for as long as you feel clean, pure, refreshed, and right to travel. I like to recommend half an hour to start. If you want to meditate for a longer time, it is better. Once I went to the Vipassana retreat, I spent about 100 hours of intense meditation and processed tons of latent memories and thoughts I did not know. After meditating for a particular period, you can reach some degree where your consciousness begins to rise above physical reality (alpha, possibly theta, or perhaps delta state, if you are an experienced mediator). When this happens, you break away from your physical self and become an observer of your physical reality. The longer you meditate, the deeper you can be and, therefore, the higher consciousness you can enter. When you are through with your meditation, slowly relax into the physical state. Start with the physical reality around you being present. Next, remember your human body. It can take 15 ~ 30 seconds, or until you want to try this step. Then, very slowly, open your eyes. Get familiar with the environment around you. If you immediately open your eyes and check to resume your physical activities, it can be frustrating and disturbing. Instead of immediately resuming your physical activities, you probably want to sit in a meditation place and reflect on the thoughts, feelings, or images that arise during your meditation. You only want a few minutes to express gratitude for the things you enjoy in your life.

Mindfulness Meditation Mindfulness is the essential human ability to be fully present, conscious of where we are and what we are doing, and not being reactive or overwhelmed by what is happening around us. While mindfulness is something we all naturally take for granted, it is readily available to practice once a day. Whenever you bring awareness directly to your thoughts and feelings through your senses or in your state of mind, you are thinking. And given that research is growing that once you train your brain, you are remodeling your brain-body. Seeking attention, it is not a problematic and fast destination. Your mind does not become a vacuum, freed from thought, completely underdeveloped. It is a special place where each moment is momentary. Once we meditate in the functioning of our mind: our sensations (blowing air on our skin or smelling harsh scents in the room), our emotions, i.e. love, hate, longing) and our thoughts (' No ') t, strangely, an elephant plays the trumpet. Mindfulness Meditation asks us to suspend judgment and overcome our natural curiosity about the mind's functioning, our experience with warmth and kindness to ourselves, et al. Mindfulness helps us place some space between ourselves and our reactions, thereby breaking our conditioned responses. You do not need a meditation cushion or bench or any special equipment to access your mindfulness skills - but you can need to put a little more space aside. Observe the moment as it is. Mindfulness is not intended to calm the mind or to try to realize a state of eternal calm. The goal is simple: we are focused on the moment, without judgment. Quickly said, we know. Let your decisions roll. Once we see that findings come during our practice, we can pay attention to them and ignore them. Return to see the moment as it is. Our minds often get excited in thought. So

mindfulness is the practice of returning to this moment, again and again. Be like your wandering mind. Do not judge yourself for whatever thoughts occur; just practice identifying when your mind has wandered and slowly bringing it back. This focus is focused on the breath, not because there is anything special about it, but because the physical sensation of breathing usually occurs, and you can use it as an anchor for the moment. During practice, you can get caught in thoughts, feelings, sounds - wherever your mind goes, just breathe again later. Although you only come once, that is fine. A simple meditation practice is done while sitting comfortably, so find a location that offers you a stable, concrete, comfortable seat. Notice what your feet do. If on a pillow, cross your legs comfortably in front of you. If on a chair, rest them on the ground. Straighten your upper body - but do not be rigid. There is a natural curvature in your spine. Let it be. Notice what your arms do. Sit with your upper hands parallel to your upper body. Soften your gaze. Give your chin a touch and let your face fall slowly. It is not necessary to close the eyes. You just let it appear before your eyes that specialize in it without it. Bring your full attention to the physical sensation of breathing air moving through your nose or mouth, the rise and fall of your stomach, or your chest. Notice when your mind wanders from your breath. Your attention can leave the breath and walk to other places. Do not worry. No one has been found to block or eliminate thinking. Once you see your mind wandering slowly, return your attention to your breath. Be kind about your wandering mind. You may find your mind wandering continuously - that too is normal. Instead of wrestling with your ideas together, practice watching them without reacting. Just sit and concentrate. As difficult as it is to take care of, it is all. Come to your breath once again, without judgment or expectation.

When you are ready, lift your face slowly (if you have your eyes closed, open them). Take a quick look and see if there are any sounds within the environment. Notice how your body feels immediately. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. It is a busy world. You do laundry while listening to the TV, while keeping one eye on the kids. You focus on the radio while you consider your day, and then plan your weekend. But within the race to complete the necessary tasks, you can lose your reference for the moment - remembering what you are doing and the way you are feeling. Have you noticed whether you are resting well this morning or that forsythia is blooming along your path to work? Mindfulness is the practice of consciously focusing your attention on the moment - and accepting it without judgment. Mindfulness is now being investigated scientifically and is a crucial element in stress reduction and total enjoyment. What are the benefits of mindfulness? The cultivation of mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism. Still, most religions include prayer or a meditation technique that helps shift your thoughts away from your common prejudices toward an immediate and appreciative perspective. Professor Emeritus John Kabat-Zinn, founder and former director of the stress reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts, helped bring Mindfulness Meditation into mainstream medicine and demonstrated that practicing meditation can improve both physical and psychological symptoms and bring positive changes in health, attitudes, and behavior. Mindfulness improves health. Increasing your capacity for mindfulness supports several approaches that contribute to a satisfying life. Being mindful makes it easier to achieve happiness in life as they occur, helps you be fully engaged in activities, and creates a more extraordinary ability to influence adverse events. By specializing in the here and now, many of us who practice mindfulness find that they are likely to be trapped in concerns about the future or regrets in the past, success, and self-esteem. They are less busy with matters and are

better prepared to build deeper relationships with others. Mindfulness improves physical health. If greater well-being is not enough of an incentive, scientists have found that mindfulness techniques help improve physical health in many ways. Mindfulness: May help relieves stress, treat heart conditions, alleviate vital symptoms, reduce chronic pain, improve sleep, and reduce gastrointestinal problems. Mindfulness improves the psychological state. In recent years, psychiatrists have turned to Mindfulness Meditation as a critical element in treating a wide variety of problems, including depression, drug abuse, eating disorders, joint conflicts, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Mindfulness techniques are quite a way to practice mindfulness. Still, any mindfulness technique's goal is to consciously listen to thoughts and sensations without judgment to feel a state of alert. It enables the mind to tune into the moment. All mindfulness techniques are a type of meditation. Basic contemplation meditation - Sit quietly and concentrate on your natural breathing or say a word or "mantra" that you simply repeat silently. Allow thoughts to return without judgment and return to your breathing or mantra. Physical sensations - Notice subtle body sensations like an itch or tingle without judgment and allow them to pass. Notice each part of your body from head to foot in succession. Sensory - Notice sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch. Name them "sight," sound, "smell," "taste," or "touch" without judgment and allow them to leave. Emotions - Allow emotions to be present without judgment. Practice gentle and relaxed naming of emotions: "bliss," "anger," "frustration." Accept the presence of feelings without judgment and allow them to leave. Urge Surfing - Deal with cravings (for addictive substances or behaviors) and allow them to pass. Notice how your body feels as longing enters. To

overcome desire, change the desire to travel with some knowledge that it can diminish. Mindfulness Meditation and Other Practice Mindfulness is often cultivated through Mindfulness Meditation, a scientific way of focusing your attention. You can learn to meditate by yourself, following the instructions in books or on tape. However, you can enjoy a teacher or group's support to help you answer questions and stay motivated. Search for someone using meditation in a way compatible with their beliefs and goals. If you have a medical condition, you would like a medically oriented program with meditation. Ask your doctor or hospital about local groups. Insurance companies increase the value of meditation instruction. Getting Started on Your Own Some types of meditation primarily involve concentration - repeating a phrase or concentrating on the feeling of breathing, allowing for a parade of thoughts that inevitably return and go. Developing concentration meditation techniques, such as other activities like tai chi or yoga, can induce the wellknown relaxation response, which is extremely valuable in reducing the body's response to anxiety. Mindfulness Meditation builds on concentration practices. Here is how it works. Go with the flow. In Mindfulness Meditation, once you establish the concentration, you observe the flow of inner thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, almost without considering them good or bad. Pay attention. You can also see external sensations such as sounds, sights and tap into the motion that reflects your moment-to-moment experience. The challenge is not to insist on a specific feeling or success or to get caught in brooding about the past. Instead, you see what comes to your mind and discover which mental habits cause feelings of goodness or suffering. Stick with it. Sometimes, this process does not seem the least bit relaxing.

Over time, it provides the key to greater happiness and self-awareness as you become comfortable with a broader and wider range of experiences. Practice acceptance above all, mindfulness practice involves accepting whatever happens in your awareness of each moment. It consists of being kind and forgiving towards oneself. Some tips to keep in mind: Redirect slowly. If your mind wanders into planning, daydreaming, or criticism, notice where it has gone and slowly redirect it to present-day sensations. Try and try again. If you miss the meditation session you want, just start again. Practicing accepting your experience during meditation makes it easier to just take whatever comes your way during the rest of your day. If Mindfulness Meditation appeals to you, going into a category or meditating on a meditation tape is often an honest thank you for starting over. Meanwhile, here are two meditation exercises that you can try on your own. Basic Mindfulness Meditation shows this exercise. ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢

Sit on a straight back chair or cross legged on the ground. Focus on one aspect of your breathing, such as the sensations of air flowing into your nostril and out of your mouth or your stomach rising and falling as you inhale and exhale. Once you reduce your concentration in this way, start focusing your attention. Be alert to sounds, sensations, and thoughts. Embrace every thought or sensation and understand it without considering it good or bad. If your mind starts racing, return your attention to your breathing. Then expand your awareness. Learning to live within the present mindfulness A less formal approach also helps you to stay within the present and participate fully in your life.

You can choose any task or moment to practice informal arbitrariness, whether you are eating, bathing, walking, touching a partner, or walking with a child or grandson. Getting these points can help: ➢

Bring your attention to the sensations in your body, letting the and breathe through your nose, air moves down into your lower abdomen. Allow your stomach to fully expand. ➢ Now exhale through your mouth. Every breath and exhale to Slowly push work and with the whole discussion, engage your senses fully. Look at each sight, touch, and sound so you affect every feeling. ➢ When you notice your mind has strayed from the task at hand, immediately bring your attention back to the sensations.

Spiritual Meditation Before you begin with your practice, it is crucial to really understand what the benefits of meditation are, or in essence, why you are doing this practice each day. The more you know about reflection, the easier it can be to stay focused and work on being dedicated to the practice and making it a component of your regular routine. Meditation should be a part of your daily ritual, such as brushing your teeth. You brush your teeth daily, or maybe several times per day because brushing your teeth just once cannot really do anything for you. An equal mindset should apply to meditation. You should try to do this regularly so that results can be urged. So, what kind of results can you expect? Well, the reasoning is that meditation is so popular. Therefore, the reason it has been trendy for an exceptionally long time is that it can touch every component of your life. Several proven benefits include:

➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢ ➢

Reduces Stress Helps With Concentration Promotes Sleep Improves Circulation Increases Self-Awareness Awareness Promotes Happiness Helps Anxiety Control Moods Slows Down Aging Increases Immune Health Helps Memory Promotes Better Judgment

These are just a few of the many scientific benefits behind meditation that can change your life for the better. Now that you know why you need to meditate, it is time to figure out how to start. There are two primary components of meditation that focus on each beginning - breathing and relaxation. All you need to do is concentrate on these core elements of meditation, and find and dedicate a quiet, quiet space to practice it for 10-15 minutes. Again, this is often how you go through your first meditation practice. Find your quiet meditation place. You want to find an area where you cannot be disturbed and can sit in silence without interruption. As many busy people know, this is often harder than it seems. Once you locate your home, you should insist on a comfortable position to not be toning or shaking to urge to rest. You do not have to sit cross-legged on the ground, as many of us think, but if you want to then you can. You need to clear your mind. How do you clear your mind? You can sit on a chair, you can lie down, all you must do is stay in a stable position and place your palms in a place where they are facing towards the sky. Be present within the moment. Meditation is all about being careful of where you are within the world and present within the moment and what is happening around you. You want to become fully aware of where you and your surroundings exist within the moment. It can take some practice in your

first few times, but here is how you can do it. Keep your eyes closed and pay attention to the things around you. What are you listening to? What is the smell? What are you touching while in your meditation posture? Think about how it feels to sit? Does your body feel stressed? Where is this tension? Doing simple things like this can really present you and when you redeem this point you find yourself in. Breathing is the most critical part of meditation. It is essential that you simply learn to concentrate on your breathing if you want to make the most of your practice. Take long, deep breaths. Follow the breath with your mind. Imagine that it flows through your body, through your lungs, and through your nasal passages. The more you hold your breath, the better. Imagine your breaths as deep, clean, and restrained breaths that help you endure the greatness around you and release the negatives in your life. As you are still attuned to your breath, you can try to focus on a mantra or positive thought, word, or affirmation. You can hum out "Om" while exhaling to keep up with your practice. From there, you only must repeat this process as best you can—a small start. If you cannot stay still and concentrate for 10 minutes, start with 5 and work your way higher. The more you practice, the better. Your meditation routine is to make the best way to get the most benefit from your practice a part of your regular routine. Make it part of your morning, lunch, or evening routine - if you are not taking the time to try to do it once a day, it does not matter. The more you do it, the more you can find you feel balanced, relaxed, or complete. Can you meditate at a meeting? In fact, you may notice at a home that you only need to sit on a pillow and close your eyes. You confirm your breath in an acknowledgement. Add it to your schedule. Meditate in the morning. Quintessence within Love | Make out. Love me. Sleep. Lie down with. Have Intimate intercourse.

Overcome it, go to hell. Roll within the grass in the car in the parking area before work or give yourself time before making dinner, regardless of the time. You make time to meditate; frequency and repetition are essential. Thanks to the technology in the field of brain monitoring devices such as MRI scanners. Note long reported benefits are now mediocre. The audience should be prepared to experience the benefits of meditation. It promotes health. An increasing number of doctors and scientists recognize the beneficial physiological effects of meditation, especially within stress relief and relaxation. C. Meditation has received widespread coverage in the media. Sports people and healthcare professionals openly advocate meditation, and magazine editors and advertisers now portray it as a traditional part of the lifestyle. D. Meditation is being accepted as a neighborhood of popular culture. About 3,000 years ago in ancient Greek times, Western attention was first brought to the world, but this data was to an outer extent lost over time. It was reintroduced to the Western world in the early 20th century. European intellectuals were searching for oriental mystical philosophy, which has its roots in meditation long before that. But it revolutionized the generation of the 60s, and in keeping with events like the Beatles, to create a broader awareness of the practice. Now that the same age has entered the time of life, and some of the values adopted by them have gained widespread acceptance during their youth. I. Nowadays , we get vast reservoirs of data from many cultures. We can choose between the simplest things that want to offer a good variety of traditions. People have sometimes asked me why I decided to do spiritual practice during my own different culture. Just because something happens in another country does not mean that it is unsuitable for us. Computing was first developed in the US, but no one says computers are not useful elsewhere. Meditation originated in India and has been practiced in Asia for thousands of years. Still, people of all backgrounds can experience its benefits.

Meditation can be a way for people to explore their own spirituality. When many of us are disillusioned with institutional religion, meditation provides a way for us to enter our inner world and have the knowledge of spirituality directly. 2. So, what exactly is meditation? Meditation is described as a kind of focused thinking, but this does not mean any full review. Paying attention to a pet rock or a frozen dessert is unnoticed. Meditation is the process of concentrating the mind at the source of consciousness within us. Gradually it leads us to the fact that our own consciousness is infinite. This is often why the goal of meditation is usually described as 'self-realization.' 3. What is Self-Realization? The goal of meditation is to understand who we really are at the core of our being. The philosophy of yoga says there are two different levels: our mental or emotional self and our spiritual self. The mental self is usually called the individual mind. It is limited because it is strongly related to our limited human body. But our real sense of self-awareness comes from our connection to a broader, subtle kind of consciousness. Yogic philosophy states that there is an infinite, a reflective image of all types of consciousness within our mind. This infinite consciousness is immutable and eternal and is at the core of our actual spiritual 'self.' When we identify with the small ego-centered self, it is often called virtual reality because that little self is susceptible to change and death. But once we realize there is a subtler, permanent reality behind the close and we see that our true nature is pure unlimited consciousness, it is often called selfrealization. 4. What is the difference between meditation and yoga? In many words, yoga means a series of physical exercises that stretch and

bend our bodies in impossible knots. But these bodily postures are just one aspect of yoga, which are called 'asanas. The physical asanas of yoga are practiced for their health benefits. Yoga is both a philosophy of life and a tantra practice. The word 'yoga' means the union between one's self and infinite consciousness. Meditation is the most critical practice within the yoga system and is how this merger or partnership is attained. So, yoga can be a system or science that allows someone to develop themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually, and meditation is that practice that makes mental and spiritual development possible. 5. Difference between prayer and meditation Evidence of the existence of the belief dates to around 40,000 years. Early religions believed that the forces of nature were beings or Gods. Later, the pantheistic, the worship of many gods, and the unseen but powerful forces of nature dominated the lives of those who worshiped them. These deities were feared and appealed to through prayer or sacrifice. As society evolved, people gradually realized there should be a guiding power behind these forces of nature. Theistic religions emerged - the belief in just one God. But the relationship was still to support fear, flattery, appeasement, and efforts to influence God to favor individuals. Some religious prayers still reflect this today. Philosophically, praying to God for something or doing something to God seems irrational even to someone else. In line with all theistic scriptures of the planet, God is an omniscient and infinitely benevolent being ('God is love'), who already knows if one's mother is ill, or someone is unhappy, and certainly enough. The caretaker tries to do whatever is essential to help them. Any concern or idea we have originated with God; therefore, it seems inappropriate to tell God how to run the universe, including the smallest amount. Yoga philosophy states that because infinite consciousness has given us everything, we should not always ask God for love or money. Prayer can take various forms. What I described above is understood as inter prayer - submission to God's intervention in our affairs. More sophisticated

forms of worship include gratitude, worship prayer, contemplative prayer, and meditative prayer. These can help bring worshipers closer to God through their cultivation of devotion, feeling of attraction towards eternal consciousness. But suppose it is predicated on God's dualistic concept, meaning that citizenship and God are kept separately. In that case, prayer cannot be considered meditation. Spiritual meditation has no limits on our perception. It is a non-dualistic practice, and its goal is to reconcile our inner 'I' feeling with infinite consciousness. I think it is highly likely that each of the right spiritual teachers did some spiritual practice and started his closest disciples in this practice. This was his treasured 'inner learning.' Often, however, with the passage of time, this esoteric part of his teachings was lost, leaving his later followers with only his outward teachings about morality and philosophy. But the key to realizing what these enlightened individuals felt has always been and can still be spiritual meditation. 6. Is meditation a science? Science (from Latin scientists - knowledge) is mostly defined as the investigation or study of nature through observation and reasoning, aiming to examine reality. The term science also refers to data collected by such research from an organized body of humans. 7. What is Spirituality? Spirituality is that which concerns infinite consciousness. First, let me clarify that 'its spirituality' should not be confused with 'spirituality,' which deals with mediums, communications with the dead, etc. Spiritual Concerns Infinite consciousness - an equivalent ultimate truth that was issued by good spiritual teachers throughout history like Buddha, Jesus, and Krishna. In line with spirituality, life's goal is to merge the individual's mind into infinite consciousness, and achieving it often occurs by practicing spiritual

meditation and similar or related practices.

8. Is spirituality scientific? The central idea of spirituality that infinite consciousness is ultimate reality is common to most oriental and some mystic types of mysticism. It is not so remarkable that this concept is widely accepted by mystics and philosophers. Still, within the last century, many scientists have considered the scientific theory and, therefore, the mystical view of reality described within the ancient texts of Taoism, Buddhism, and Yoga. They have accepted similarities between these practices. Einstein, and all his contemporaries, including Werner Heisenberg, Bohr, Schrödinger, and Planck, most pioneers of recent physics, saw belief in mysticism. When Heisenberg (the "explorer of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle") visited India and met Rabindranath Tagore, a Nobel laureate poet, and an outstanding yogi, he was greatly relieved to find someone crazy about his ideas. Traditional yoga philosophy is saying an equal thing about reality as is the scientific theory still developed. It has been the subject of much discussion and publications, especially since the 1960s.

9. What is mysticism? Mysticism is a united attempt to bridge the gap between the finite and, therefore, the infinite. - Shri Anandamurti said, the most beautiful and most profound feeling we can experience is the feeling of the extraordinary. It is based on all actual sciences. For someone, this feeling can be a stranger, who cannot live in awe, almost as good as dead. A profoundly passionate belief about the presence of a superior reasoning power, which appears within the incomparable universe, is my view of God. Einstein 10. What is the difference between spirituality and religion?

The founders of all good religions taught spirituality, yet religion and spirituality are not the same. When asked by my own spiritual master whether he was trying to start an alternate religion, he said: "I am not curious about religion. I am curious about social conscience and hence the goal of social responsibility, and the way to bridge the gap between the 2. " A similar claim can be made in many religions, but the truth is that spirituality taught by the founders of these religions is often lost or obscured by dogma and ritual. Between the teachings of Buddha and Buddhism, Christian and Hinduism. There is a profound difference between the teachings of Christ, and the practices of mainstream Christianity as it is celebrated today. Over time, divisions have developed within religions, which sometimes lead to persecution and even war. Once you examine the darkest period of spiritual history, it is hard to believe that people can get away from their great preachers' superior teachings. The first message was spiritual, but different to the degree that the soul has been diluted or lost through the loss of spiritual meditation practices, the infusion of spiritual concepts into dogma through the efforts of less developed individuals, and politics through religions institutions. Mystics exist within all the main religions. There are other traditions that include many characteristics of spirituality. Generally, however, they do not represent mainstream religion, and in many cases, have even been branded as heretics. Therefore the spread of such teachings has been rewarded only by persecution. We have seen our various religions to be a very confusing mixture of spiritual truth and dogma. If we want to explore metaphysics, it is vital to know the critical difference between spirituality and non-secular philosophy. With the passage of time, these differences within mainstream religion have steadily increased: a. Spirituality is theism and a highly developed and rational concept of God or infinite consciousness. Religious dogma is often theism, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or atheists, such as Buddhism, Shintoism, and perhaps

even Communism. Generally, Dogmatic religions either have a poorly developed and irrational concept of God or have no idea of God. B. Spirituality is non-dualistic. It usually proposes that human life's purpose is to understand that our individual consciousness and therefore, the infinite consciousness of God are equivalent and merge our individual consciousness into infinite consciousness. Many theistic religions are dualistic, proposing a fundamental separation between God and therefore the world and the belief that the purpose of human life is to enter a relationship with God and participate in one heaven after another. C. Spirituality is practical and can be experienced and felt by practicing spiritual meditation or something similar. The main goal is inward, to lead the businessman to a personal feeling. Religions, on the opposite hand, emphasize faith and belief. Although they teach people different types of prayer, most certain practices are externally focused, including rituals, festivals, and ceremonies. D. Spirituality can be a lifestyle choice and is integrated into every aspect of a person's existence. Religion is usually a significant part of a person's life, mainly practiced in temples and churches. Religion is only the excellent purpose of freeing this person from ignorance and spiritual darkness to the extent that he remains faithful to his original spiritual essence. 11. What is spiritual meditation? In spiritual meditation, our mind is directed towards a spiritual thought. The only thanks for imagining it are often infinite love, peace, happiness, or an institution that embodies it. We can call it God, but the name is not essential. It is important to remember that this infinite love is within and around us. If we pause to think, then it becomes clear that every experience we encounter has happened within our minds. If we want lasting happiness or love, what better place could there be than the source of those feelings? Spiritual meditation concentrates on a spiritual thought, an idea related to

infinite consciousness. This thought is more generous than itself. As we contemplate this vast and delightful thought, our mind transforms into pure consciousness, which has no limits. So spiritual meditation is an attempt to mix the feeling of 'I' into the infinite consciousness. 12. Is there a need to be a monk to achieve success in meditation? Apparently not. Buddha was a monk, but Shiva - believed by many as the father of Yoga had three wives. (This was not uncommon 7,000 years ago) Swami Vivekananda was a monk, but my very own guru, Sri Ananda Murthy, was married. And there were many great spiritualist women, such as St. Teresa of Avila (a nun) and Anandamayi Ma (who was married). I chose a monk for both personal and practical reasons. Still, I certainly do not see it as any quote for spiritual practice or success on a spiritual path. 13. Isn't it self-centered to take a seat to meditate all the time when suffering exists all over the world? It could be. Instead, it depends on what you would be doing if you were not meditating. If the solution is "watching television," then, by all means, meditate. But if it means that you are neglecting your family or using it as an excuse to avoid doing something for others, then that is another matter. 14. Manipulating our minds by strengthening While it is a bit true that some people's brains can do with an honest wash, I also must mention that meditation is not a brainwash of sorts. Usually, when people express concern about brainwashing, they fear losing control and manipulating their minds. Meditation helps to protect us from manipulating our minds by strengthening our willpower and making us more self-aware. Suppose you are seriously concerned about people manipulating your mind for their own purposes. In that case, I suggest that the primary thing you should do is cut off your television, a tool that uses ads employed by

companies, among others, to significant effect to influence people’s behavior. 15. Where did the science of meditation first develop? Tantric meditation was first developed by the tribes of India 10–15,000 years ago as an expression of their natural desire to know their natural consciousness. About 7,000 years ago, it was developed by the great yogi Shiva of ancient India. The practice has spread across various mystical traditions, including Yoga, Taoism, Sufism, Zen Buddhism, and Lamaism. Similar methods have emerged in indigenous cultures. 16. When did meditation come to the west? Practices of meditation were introduced in Europe by the old Greeks, many of whom traveled east and learned from Indian yogis and philosophers. Alexander the Great, Aristotle's student, brought a yogi back from India to be his spiritual advisor. Apollonius, the great Greek mystic and social reformer found wisdom within the East and was highly respected for his spiritual power. He was an advocate of universal religion and preached internal thought rather than external worship. Denying the champion one popular cult against the other, he declared that he had a relationship with the soul rather than the shape of faith.' The early Jewish and ancient Egyptian religions were heavily influenced by oriental mysticism. Many believe that Jesus must have practiced and taught yogic meditation he had learned in India during his life, which was unproblematic for the Bible. Within the fourth century, after the fall of the western half of the Roman Empire, when most of Europe's libraries were burned, yoga meditation practices in the West died off. Later both indigenous and Christian mysticism was actively suppressed, especially during the dark times of the Inquisition. Europe became something of a spiritual desert focusing on intellectual and technological development, militarism, trade, exploration, and conquest. Religious institutions began to take more interest in politics than spirituality.

But the 1990s saw the beginning of a spiritual renaissance in West Indian culture by Swami Vivekananda, the best-loved disciple of the great Indian saint, Sri Ramakrishna. Vivekananda was the first modern yoga guru to return to the West in the early 20th century. This era saw the emergence of Theosophists and Rudolf Steiner's School of Anthroposophy as a growing interest in Eastern mysticism among European intellectuals such as Jung, Huxley, and Herman Hess. Swami Vivekananda was followed by others. By 1960, interest in Eastern spirituality spread to Europe and America, quickly spreading worldwide, clear to New Zealand. The leading sophisticated expression of this fusion of cultures can also be found within the great Indian mystic and philosopher Sri Ananda Murthy, who was the first spiritual preacher to create a harmonious amalgam of colonial rationality oriental mysticism. He was the founding father of the fashionable spiritual movement, Anand Marg, which means ecstasy. Although spiritual meditation originated in South India, its influence is still found in many spiritual traditions. Today it is related to a universal human need. 17. What does any quiet meditation teach? The nature of the thing or idea you choose to consider in meditation can determine the outcome. Meditation often concludes for spiritual development, relaxation, and stress reduction, or perhaps for some other reason, such as success during sports or a career. As taught within the Great Spiritual Traditions, the distinguishing feature of all spiritual meditation techniques is that the dissolution of the method has the idea of infinite consciousness - it is the contemplation of the infinite. In Tantric meditation, the practitioner learns a unique technique through initiation and is taught a mantra that is repeated mentally. He is taught how to remove the mind from the external world and concentrate internally. The first goal of tantric meditation is to merge individual consciousness into infinite consciousness. It is a meditation often taught in Ananda Margay's modern Tantric school (The Path of Bliss).

18. Are you not biased? If you just practice one type of meditation - how can you be objective about other methods? I can be biased - none but an enlightened soul is entirely objective. I think the technique I am practicing is the best on my part, at least - otherwise, I am doing something else. At an equivalent time, it seems clear that there are many paths to enlightenment - otherwise, how can people attain selfrealization from different traditions? I strive to keep an open mind. From my study of a good kind of teachings, I have also understood that there are generally psychological and spiritual principles used in spiritual practice. For example, it is a widely accepted psychological theory that "you become what you think." If this principle is applied in spiritual meditation, it means that we should always consider the idea of infinite consciousness. But if we are taught from childhood to be guilty or afraid of God, it can be challenging to practice. Suppose, on the opposite hand, we are taught that we are children with disabilities, which is our true nature and ideal. In that case, the feeling of pleasure in meditation is naturally more incredible. It is not necessary to explore all technologies to understand how they work. In any event, this may not be possible in one lifetime - it is hard enough to master even one. 19. How does one know if something is a good meditation technique for me? This is something you have got to decide for yourself. If you encounter a practice that makes sense to you and feels right, then I suggest you try it. If you think that it is bringing about the type of changes you are feeling, keep doing it. If you experience difficulties, then try something else. Do not hurry to change to a different technique. You can face the same problem again and be forced to understand that the matter was with you, not with technology. If, after giving it your best shot, it still is not working, try something else. But do not keep shopping forever - you should try to find a way to be proud of and stick to it. Remember the holes we were digging for water? If you

continue to start new holes, you will stay very thirsty.

20. Do I need to be an official Guru to get attention? The word 'Guru' means' Eller dispersion of darkness,' and indeed infinite consciousness means acting as a teacher and guiding individual souls. So, since the endless consciousness is omnipresent, the essential Guru is already within us. When a private has attained a self-interview, he is often mentioned as a guru because the infinite consciousness within him can act and speak without the ego's distortions. So he is ready to play the role of an ideal teacher and guide others. In the Bhagavad-gītā, Arjuna asked his guru, Krishna, whether it was possible to achieve enlightenment through the guidance of the divine, inner guru, without the Guru's help in physical form. Krishna told him that it is not necessary to have a material master. Still, it may probably take you about 10,000 times to attain enlightenment if you are not doing so. Thirty-five years ago, I wanted to find meditation, but I did not have the skills to start. I started practicing. Which suggests that I did not teach myself - I was learning from those writers. Indirectly, he was my first teacher, although he was not alive. Soon I realized that I needed clear guidance and started investigating a living teacher. The fact you are merely reading this book indicates you want information about meditation. Throughout this book, all knowledge, directly or indirectly, comes from a guru. Practically all spiritual books of the planet derive their ideas from great spiritual teachers - gurus. If they do not, they should. Gurus are the forerunners on the spiritual path who go before us and lighten the way, those who follow them. Some people are afraid that being a guru means that you have blindly followed someone. This is often a misconception. My guru, Sri Ananda Murthy, often cites an old scripture that if a child says something is rational, we should always accept it. If God Himself says that something is irrational, then we should still call it as such straws should be discarded.

And what is the rational course when seeking self-knowledge? Once we enter the mystical realm of consciousness, the most critical sensible method requires the recommendation of a guide who knows this field well. And this area can, at times, be quite misleading and difficult to cross. Suppose you examine the lives of great saints and yogis such as St. Francis of Assisi or Milarepa of Tibet. In that case, you can see that all of them have faced many trials and have overcome the temptations of bliss and power so that the truth could be achieved. If you are unlikely to be personally satisfied with a true guru (and they are many among some), do not despair. There is a need to be appointed from the Guru through his writing, knowing about his inspiring example, and directly ending his teachings and techniques from the people. It is possible to establish a personal relationship with one's own inner master. 21. What is the cost of meditation? My personal view is that spiritual meditation should be available to anyone, irrespective of their financial status. In my tradition, we make individual meditation instruction free of charge, provided the scholar has an honest desire to practice regularly. This does not mean that our events, such as retreats and classes, are free, but we do our best to remain affordable. You must find some space in it to urge attention carefully - your time and energy are valuable. 22. How long does it take? I suggest that beginners spend at least 20 minutes in meditation, on average, twice each day. Later it can be increased to 2 half hours. This can provide a good result, although some people prefer to meditate for extended periods. As a result, there is a more significant benefit of knowledge. What percentage you get out of your meditation is causally related to what you put into it. 23. What are the benefits of meditation?

Extensive studies have been made on the physical and psychological benefits of meditation. Still, I find it better to relate the benefits I have experienced personally to this practice: A. I feel more at peace. B. I am much more emotionally balanced. I am a musician, and I can tell you that this is a real benefit for people with a somewhat "artistic" temperament. C. I am more creative. I have always practiced the spread of creative arts. Once I started meditating, I felt that I had tapped into a new spring of inspiration, ideas, and insights. It seems quite natural that with the calming effect of meditation, we should have easy access to our mind's deep, creative level. D. I discovered immense feelings in life. I also have a growing feeling that every person's life is in a positive direction - for greater awareness, more sense of unity and harmony. I feel that I am also in an area of the same flow of conscious development. E. Self-awareness improves. Introspection practice makes us more aware of our motivations and traits. It is often not always a small thing, but if we do not see ourselves as we really are, how can we improve? More often, it is inspiring to achieve fantastic potential within yourself. F. I also understand universal love. As I am more in tune with the source of my very consciousness, I became more conscious of consciousness in everything. I feel more love within me and more love and compassion for others. It naturally helps me relate to others more easily. Yes. I enjoy healthiness - I lead a busy life - I travel often and have constant demands on my time. Yet, I do not suffer from stress-related illnesses that afflict many busy people. Meditation and, therefore, the natural lifestyle related to it is a recipe for a longer and healthier life. G. Better willpower and concentration. Over the years, I have seen my mind getting more precise and more substantial. If we exercise a physical muscle, it develops. It is the same with the mind. H. I really enjoy meditation. Sometimes, it requires concentration, but it is often intensely blissful - more enjoyable than anything else I have

experienced when it really flows. It is so much better than shooting, I am almost always told. I. I am happy . I do not think I am the happiest man globally, although I am working on it. But I know I am more comfortable than I used to be before going this way, and this understanding has increased in the last few years. Who would I not be? I am more emotionally balanced, more creative, I am growing as a person, I have a deeper meaning in my life, I feel closer to God, closer to people, I feel more loved. I am happy. I must be crazy not to be! 24. How soon until I feel something in my meditation? Steve was a young man living in Auckland, New Zealand. He and his friends had become curious about meditation, and they all learned from a yogi. After learning meditation, Steve practiced regularly, twice for thirty minutes each day, but he felt no effect. After every week or two, he began to get tense and asked his teacher what was wrong. He discussed what he was doing, and so the teacher reassured him and told him that he just needed to practice. Meanwhile, all of Steve's friends were enjoying his attention and had some excellent experiences. He continued. After another fortnight, he got really frustrated and came back to his teacher again and said that he could not continue. The teacher told him, "We are doing some spiritual exercise at the end of the week in a fortnight. I am sure if you continue to practice and are available to come to the retreat, something will happen. "Reluctantly Steve agreed to try. He was afraid his friends would ridicule him if he gave up, so he persisted on it. but hated the attention. When it was time for the retreat he did not even want to travel, but he said he could not quickly return without looking like a failure. There was a retreat on Waiheke's island, and everyone planned to meet at the pier in the morning. Now it happened that Steve had a wood-eating insect called Bora in his house. While he was leaving, he planned to ignite a 'bora bomb' - a canister of poisonous gas that kills these insects and prevents them from eating all the

wood; otherwise, they can eventually consume a house. So, he put his luggage outside, lit the 'bora bomb,' came out, and closed the door. When he needed to stop, he realized that he had forgotten his wallet. A part of him thought, "Great! Now I can miss the bus, and I can leave the ferry, and I don’t have to go to the retreat. But he felt he still had to go there when he was questioning his friends, so he ran home. Then he had to run slower to catch his breath, as the house was filled with poisonous gas. By the time he had caught his breath, he had gone in, holding his breath, grabbed his wallet again, and came to a stop; the bus was gone. "Good," he thought, "but I think I should try to get a ride." He was confident that no one would stop because he had tried to do so before and never managed to get a ride this way. So, he put his thumb out. The first car stopped. "Where are you going?" The driver asked. "To the ferry." "Never mind, I'm going there too." He was caught. He got the ferry on time to meet his friends. Then he was stuck on the island for a week, meditating and chanting and eating vegetarian food, which he now began to loathe. His attention was worse than before, and he was utterly depressed. Everyone else was so happy and high and he thought that maybe he was the only person in the world who could not meditate. If he had not gone to an island, he would have left for home. Finally, the retreat’s final meditation session began, and he thought, "This is the last time I will be meditating all my life." Very well! "They were all chanting very happily, and he was thinking," So what? Piera? I just want to urge you here. " He sat down for what he thought was the last time of his life to meditate. Within a few seconds after closing his eyes, he had a tremendous experience. He felt as if the highest part of his head had been removed, and the whole universe was hospitable.

He lost all awareness of his body, and was lost in a blissful trance. He later felt overwhelmed and went to the people in tears, saying, "It works, it works," like a fool. 25.So how soon should we feel something in our meditation? Everyone has a different mind, so it is difficult to answer this question accurately. Some people I know had their direct experience of sitting for meditation. More commonly, people initially find it difficult, and they begin to enjoy it as they develop greater concentration and mental peace. Some people like Steve have dramatic tales to tell. Talk to others and you would never know what might have happened if they had lasted just one more time. One important thing to understand from Steve's story is that every week he felt like nothing was happening during his meditation. But there was a profound change taking place within him. It took just a while to come to the surface. Suppose we really want to understand that we may need to practice meditation before tasting its benefits. In that case, it is merely a thank you for determining that. First, we start. First, we know. So, let’s close our eyes, open our minds, and accept that meditation practice involves an effort. If you do this excellent practice with sincerity, I am sure you will thank the day you just did.

Concentrated Focused Meditation

Should involve something like living within the here and now and slowing down internal dialogue. Unlike classic meditation - where you do nothing to calm your mind - with focus, you remain in the present but focus solely on one thing, usually, sensory stimulation such as voice, visual objects, tactile sensation, taste, smell, and even your own breathing - contemplation is like meditation techniques. Starting your practice involves just a few steps that can come more easily over time. Start with a five-minute session and work with your time to a higher level as you become more comfortable with the exercise. You need to look for a quiet place where you cannot be interrupted. These short sessions of focused meditation are often practiced anywhere at any time, whether you are in the comfort of your home or in the office. The key is to practice your focused meditation in a relaxed environment. Choose a goal for your meditation. Because it is usually the entry point for any meditation practice, concentrating on your breathing can be a good choice. Get in a cushion position. Sit straight. If you sit in a chair, sit in it properly, resting in your pelvic bones with your feet on the ground. If you are sitting down, preferably elevate yourself with a cushion or block to relax, and your thighs are long. Give your body a rest. Loosen your shoulders and breathe through your stomach. You can cross your legs, but you do not need to be in any other position until you fully relax without sleeping. Focus your attention on your chosen goal—zero on sensations, including sound, smell, sight, and details of your attention. The thought is not a belief, but it is fully present just within the moment to experience it. If you concentrate on your breathing, for example, focus on the sensations you experience and exhale each breath. Calm your inner voice. If your internal monologue starts researching your goals or re-understanding the day's stressful situations, worry about the long term, make a list for grocery shopping, or anything, you should slowly. return your focus to your chosen goal, and so it provides the feeling. You can concentrate on something, but the goal is to manage a calm mind.

Do not worry about failure. If you feel your mind entangling you, and feel that you are not fully present with the sensations of your chosen goal, do not beat your inner perfectionist to do so "wrong." Just congratulate yourself for informing you and return to the moment and, therefore, the sensations you are experiencing. Tips for Focus Meditation Although you can begin the practice of focusing on just five steps, this does not mean that each session is easy, especially in the beginning. Help develop an exercise that suits your experience, environment, and enjoyment, keeping the following points in mind: Give it time. Meditation is often practiced. If you are trying to do it correctly, you can create more stress for yourself. Feeling discouraged can prevent you from sticking with it. Start with short sessions. Five minutes is ideal for beginners. Work up to your higher sessions over time. With practice, such meditation becomes more straightforward and more uncomplicated. Try another meditation practice. Suppose the experience is depressing, and you do not really need to continue. In that case, you can have more success with other meditation types, like karate breathing meditation. Choose the most comfortable time for you. Many of us find that concentrating (or any meditation practice) can be an excellent way to start your day. A morning meditation practice can do wonders to keep you calm and remind you for the rest of the day. Others like to pay attention after work to get down from their busy schedules and refocus on family and home. Consider it as an excellent thank you for leaving the stress of work where it should be - at work.

Movement Meditation Our bodies can provide a "spiritual path." Most people accept the idea that the mind can be a tool of spiritual exploration; We use the reason in most forms of meditation and in our reading of religious literature. Emotions (mostly love) are another method of spiritual inquiry; consider some religions' devotional view. The concept that the body can also provide a field for spiritual exploration, especially in cultures and religions, where the body is considered the "enemy" of the soul, sexuality, feminine principles, the physical world, and humanity. However, some religious practices particularly tantra - see the body as a means by which we can study and express our psychological and spiritual nature. We can consider these ideas: ➢

The body lives in a world free of concepts, so our adherence to it leads us to a non-conceptual position sought by practitioners of seated meditation. ➢ The body is neither more "less" nor "illusion" than our minds and emotions. On the contrary, it is also related to our soul. ➢

We can learn about the ever-changing, ever-moving, everintermittent nature of life through the body because the body is always in motion. (Even when we sit or sleep, the action takes place in small adjustments of heartbeat, breathing, and muscle.) ➢ Slow-motion produces a calm mind, which is one of the goals of sitting meditation. General Guidelines for Movement Meditation. We can be aware of the movements of muscles, our contact with external surfaces (such as objects or floors), the movement of energy within the body (and the exchange of that energy with the outside world), our body's natural reactions to stimuli (E.g. music rhythms), special positions of individual body parts (especially the spine), sensations throughout the body (e.g., heat, cold, pressure, pain, pleasure, etc.), our breathing, as well as with our actions, or to be independent or present at the heart of activity, or another aspect of our

movements. Be aware of all body parts. In some movement meditation types, we focus on a particular region; for example, in a yoga posture, the leg muscles can be loosened, so we can naturally be attentive to those muscles. But during other movement meditation sessions, we can direct our attention to our body and notice the parts we usually ignore; for example, we are all aware of our hands (because we use them almost regularly). Still, now we can relate to other parts such as our individual toes, or our elbows, or above our head. While walking, we can shift our attention to every detail and evaluate its condition; for example, some of our body parts may be numb or disliked, such as in a belly that does not match the norm that has been established by the magazine centerfolds. When we explore these displaced parts, we can invite them to re-join our love and acceptance and the "family" of our bodies. As we do so, we can feel that part warming up and reintegration into the normal functioning of the body. Enter the body. To an extent, the body is not "our" body; It is a living organism, with its own needs, its pleasures, and its "consciousness." (Consider the fact that cells, in their biological world, know nothing about our day-to-day life.) Enter the world of physical sensation, vitality, chemical processes, heat, breathing, and walking.). We can enter this world more quickly if we use specific techniques with our eyes closed (to block our eyesight) or our hands on our ears (to stop our sense of hearing). Let the body move in its own way. Try this motion: Bend to the left, keeping the body stiff and muscular strength. Now return to the upright position. This time just think about bending and start the motion, but let the body move in its own way and at its own pace in a tilt position - perhaps very slowly. When the body controls this movement, we can notice the following events: A. -We feel many individual adjustments to the muscles and internal tissues as the body bends. B.-There is a rhythm and a brief pause in the movement. C. We are always seeking happiness and comfort in each surge of inclination.

D. -Our breathing changes in response to mild exercise and lung repositioning. E.-We feel cooperation and feedback between body parts as they coordinate their efforts in this engineering achievement. Slowness allows us to experience more of the individual motions within a more extensive tempo; for example, if we raise a straight arm quickly, we probably see only one upward movement - but if we do it slowly, we experience many different events within the body. Try that now; Take approximately 30 seconds to move the arm to the upright position. Be aware of the various muscle contractions and adjustments in the joints as they adapt to changing conditions, and the constant physical balance (through changes in weight and contractions of muscles in other parts of the body) and heat that is generated in the muscles occurs, and a gentle stretch of tissue to allow hand movement. Movement meditation is usually done slowly; for example, walking meditation can be only slightly slower than our regular pace - or we can spend a full minute for each step. Focus on yourself rather than any practical goal (e.g., walking to a specific destination). Keep a sense of lightness. When the body moves at its own pace, we experience fun, spontaneity, compassion, and tenderness. Allow the body's energy to sustain you and inspire you easily. Let it come to the context of gravity and then overcome it with natural vitality. The technique of movement meditation. When doing these unique techniques, we can use guidelines, especially moving slowly and being attentive. Other lessons are presented in chapters about specific types of movement meditation, for example, walking meditation. For five minutes, do each movement with your breath. (Breath at a natural rate or at a slow, controlled pace.) Place your palms against your chest. When you inhale slowly, extend your arms towards your front; Let your arms return to the chest as you exhale. While doing this, feel the breathing energy projecting the arms outward and bringing them back.

From a sitting position, slowly stand with the sense that the body is "tall" in the upright position. The neck extends upward, the back becomes more extended, and gradually the whole body has grown to a standing position. Now go forward, with the same feeling of lengthening the legs, and put each leg forward. Finally, sit down again in a lengthy motion. Experiment with varying degrees of mental "supervision" to control your body's movements. We can find a new balance between the body's willful control of the mind and its own preferences. For example, try this in a gradual upward motion of your arm: First, do it at will, keeping the muscles tight. Now raise the arm again - but this time, let the arm rest, and be aware of the reaction (e.g., rest or discomfort); Respond to this reaction to move the hand more naturally. In your third time, simply "intend" that the hand should rise, and then - while maintaining a gentle desire - "walk" the hand slowly upward. Allow the arm to be creative and playful as the upper arm, forearm, arm, and fingers slowly find their way toward an upright position, while perhaps turning, twisting, and bending, as the smoke rises over thin air. If allowed, the body transforms every movement into a beautiful dance - but these subtle movements occur from the body's sense of self-expression and pleasure, not from selfconsciousness, mentally imagined artistry. Pretend you are a monkey, free of human concepts about your body and how it should grow. While walking, allow this "monkey" body to find its own way of walking and gesturing. When your body is not being analyzed by the "human," be aware of your body's sensations. (You can do the same exercise as another animal - maybe a lion or a dog.) We see our ability to move our bodies. But now, when we slowly open and close the fist, we marvel at the mind's ability to control the body. Our thoughts build momentum. Many people are skeptical about the possibility of "mind over matter." Still, our mind does this every time to move the body. Try to understand the link between thoughts and the moving hand. Now imagine you have just been born in this body. It is all new to you sensations and control over this physical form. How does the body feel? Start

crawling now, as you have never crawled before. Now start walking. If this was your first time, how did you walk, and have you ever seen anyone else do it that way? Move to the rhythm of a spoken mantra or prayer (e.g., "Lord's Prayer") or a memorable religious text (e.g., the 23rd psalm. Allow the body to move into that rhythm while expressing the feelings that come with the words. Variety: Let the body express the same concept, such as beauty, love, peace, freedom, or soul. Use your body and expressions on your face. Another variation: Express these thoughts with only one part of the body, e.g., your hands. While walking, be aware of the flexibility of your spine. Move because the range is a snake that bends and turns in every direction. Feel the wave movements like these snakes as they spread throughout the body. As you do this, notice the increase in energy in the spine and the rest of the body. Be attentive to your hands and feet's movements, give your feet a gentle massage (or other parts of the body). and notice the pleasure that is created. Slowly walk around your house, touching objects - chairs, curtains, etc. While following your movements, you also see the energy that passes through your hands into things. Experience this energy transfer as a part of the action. Feel the energy that causes the needle to move outward. As soon as you touch the object, feel the energy moving down your arm, feel the energy flowing into the object. Feel some energy from the object flowing back into the hand. Now curl up into a fetal position and hug yourself. Roll gently on the floor left and right - until you continue to embrace (moving your hands in different situations). Feel love for yourself and your body. Feel the warm, relaxed sensations throughout the body. In a standing position, allow your body to express its sexuality. Through movement, communicate sexual craving, pleasure, pleasure, assertiveness, etc., of the body. We experience the sexuality of the body, not the concept of mind.

Dance as if the world around you is your partner. As you move, respond to the objects in the room: roll around with a chair, stroke the wall as you walk along with it, hug a curtain, dance with the wind, as though it was thick enough to embrace. Notice the sensations in your body and the energy that passes between yourself and objects. While standing, slowly release the pelvis at different speeds - left and right, forward and backward, circularly, counterclockwise, or in a figure eight. Be aware of sensations. Lie on the floor, on your back. Imagine you are a flower responding to the early morning sunshine. Very slowly, raise your arms as if they are being pulled upwards by the sun. Then slowly move towards a permanent state, always aware of the imaginative sunshine and the feelings it produces in your body. Being aware of the effect of gravity on your body while standing. For a few minutes, allow yourself to draw very slowly from this position so that you can calmly surrender the mass of your body to the planet below you. Darvish dance. When we were kids, our first experience with the "changed state" was to spin like a top until we became dizzy and fell to the ground. The Sufi Mevlevi order (i.e., "whirling dervish") institutionalized this activity in group meditation style. They can spin without feeling dizzy. (Before you start walking, place a cushion on yourself - and be sure to fall so that your stomach is empty to reduce nausea.) Start by extending your right hand upward (palm pointed to the roof and directed towards the sky). And extend your left arm downward (palm directed towards the floor - towards the earth); A different technique is to start with the components in your chest and then raise them to the right (right palm up and left palm down), spinning slowly. Slowly begin turning in a circle - most people turn counter-clockwise - and keep your eyes open but not focused. While spinning, the Dervishes meditate on the soul, and they chant a sacred phrase (i.e., a "waif" or "zikr") such as "Allah is hu" or "There is no God but God.” We can use a different phrase or mantra. Feel as if you are centered in a calm, motionless core of an energy vortex (as

if in the eye of a storm). After 20 minutes, start increasing your speed. The Dervishes rotate for hours, but we can do this for a short time. Eventually, we can fall to the ground and if this happens, lie still for ten minutes or more, resting and grounding your energy with the earth beneath you. Experience "time" the way your body experiences it - independent of clocks and calendars. Select a simple task to perform - such as walking or housework - and allow your body to perform at your own pace. Feel the feeling of progress and flow of the body instead of the stressful division of analytical work into time and minutes. Experience the body as an inherent part of the physical world. While our mind develops melodrama about the condition and insecurity and anxiety, the body is entirely comfortable in its world. The body is relaxed in our house. It neither knows nor cares what our friends think about our remodeling. When we are in a crowd of people, it looks at other bodies with interest, not judgment or timeliness. Feel this physical body interacting with the material objects of your world and pay attention to the directness and simplicity of this interaction. Move around the entire room as if the body were another physical object within it. See how it reacts spontaneously, through movement, with other physical items. Cathartic Dance. (If this practice releases energy and feelings that are too intense, stop immediately.) For ten minutes, remain entirely wild. Jump, and roll, and twitch, and shake. Allow your breathing to become irregular. Kill the pillows. If you want to do this (and if you have privacy), allow your voice to shout and babble. Whatever you do, do not be conscious or upset about it; just express the chaos and repression that we all place beneath our humble personality. Use these verbs to describe something real that is within you; They are not just an exhibition of random action or your concept of "wildness." It is a flow of energy that we have not been able to express, so it is likely to contain both our "negative" feelings (e.g., anger) and some "positive" feelings (such as our longing for love). After this catharsis, walk around in peace, slowly "put yourself back together.

Then do one sitting meditation if you want to calm yourself even further. Catharsis is not a long-term solution to any problem; The energy we are releasing would have been better spent in direct mediation with difficulties, because we do not always have the conditions or skills with which we can fully express our energy, sometimes some catharsis may be required to release the residue of that force.

Mantra Meditation First, we begin with the definition of the mantra. The mantra may be a Sanskrit word, which derives from two roots: man (meaning "mind" or "think") and "safe," or to try with "means/equipment." Therefore, mantras are tools of the mind or tools to liberate the mind. Some mantras have a literal meaning and can be translated. Still, most conform to tradition, their value deriving mostly from their sound quality. Some are short, one-syllable words. Others are long, made up of many words.

What is Mantra Meditation Mantra Meditation? Sometimes the mantra is recited. It is understood at other times. Sometimes this is repeated rapidly, and slowly at other times. Periodically it is repeated only by oneself, and at other times relating to breathing, concentration on specific emotions, chakras, visual or abstract concepts. What is the purpose of the mantra during meditation? First, the mantra works as a focus. It is a prop to keep the monkey-mind busy and allows it to become calmer and more focused. During this sense, it functions a bit like your breathing or another meditation object. Second, a mantra can be a tool for the transformation of consciousness. This is often an aspect of mantra meditation that is slightly more esoteric, so it may not appeal to all readers. Teaching that every sound, every vibration, is but a certain quality. It can supply the various states of mind and consciousness when the time for an extended period comes again. MANTRAS GAIN ATTENTION SOUND TRANSFORMATIVE POWER Ask yourself, "What's so special about repeating a word anyway?" Why is it considered a robust tool for meditation? " Sound is hybrid. And every cell in your body is vibrating. Everything within the universe is vibrating, and each has its own rhythm. Your thoughts and feelings are, in fact, vibrations in your body and your consciousness. Sound patterns also affect your body's hydration level, hormone secretion, cognition, behavior, and psychological well-being. After looking at it this way, your mind — your psyche — is a set of patterns, each vibrating at its own strange frequency, speed, and volume. The mystics and yogis have discovered that by maintaining a specific sound vibration at a particular time, the character of the mind and body are often transformed to some extent. It can be used to change your emotional conditions - such as anxiety, soothing pain, uplifting your moods, etc. Or it can also be used to reach

deeper states of consciousness, control the mind, and help you enter samadhi. Any musician or filmmaker can tell you about the feature that sound has found to generate/evoke moods, thoughts, and feelings. If meditating on a song can change your perspective and even help your body heal, then imagine the programming feature of a selected sound in your brain, with care and attention repeated thousands of times! Sound, rhythm, and speech have a profound effect on your body, thoughts, and feelings. Mantra meditation uses the three elements that purify, soothe, and re-work your mind and heart. Thus mantra, being an instrument of the mind, can help you bring about a profound change in your body and psyche and create altered states of consciousness. Mantra meditation can be a way of moving the consciousness around a sound, amplifying it for maximum effect. Within the yoga contemplation tradition, mantra meditation is commonly called the most straightforward and safest method. Mantra Thoughts At any given moment, our focus is often on just one object. Once we say we are multitasking, what we are doing is changing the things of attention very quickly. Therefore, multitasking is taxing and ineffective. For meditation, the implication is straightforward: every moment when you are only paying full attention to the mantra, you are not disturbed by other thoughts, memories, or sensations. Suppose you are ready to string two mantras together continuously, and at the end of 1 mantra repetition, you start another later. In that case, you can be in a beautiful position for the duration of your meditation. One mantra replaces 10,000 different ideas from one thought - and the concept that provides peace and awareness. This allows you to gather your scattered attention, which spreads thinly everywhere in the place and unites it, thus empowering it. Of course, the process of meditation is the same as other objects of concentration, such as breathing or a visual event. However, the benefit of a mantra is that it easily overrides mental speech, which, for many, is the dominant type of conscious thinking.

Another benefit is that the mantra's rhythmic nature helps to override the pesky songs that sometimes frequently pop into our mind during meditation which are some of the things not so quickly in other types of meditation occur. See this lesson for some studies on how chanting mantras increases concentration, well-being, and resilience to negative inputs. Meditation Mantra Meditation Necessary for Mantra (How to choose) Deciding which mantra to use depends firstly on your attitude towards meditation - whether secular or spiritual. This approach can also affect the results you get from practice. Some mantras, however, are quite universal and can be used with both approaches. Examples are the Sanskrit mantra Om and then Ham. In this case, you can choose a mantra from your own language. It is often a word or a short sentence that gives a message that you want to print in your psyche. Here are some guidelines I suggest for selecting a word: ➢

Meaning is the most important thing. Choose a word/sentence representing something that you want to develop more in yourself, feel more, or hook up with. It can be love, peace, freedom, awareness, light, courage, and so ➢ on. You must speak the sound of the word. The only thanks for feeling this is by repeating it often for a few minutes and observing how you feel before and after. ➢ Avoid words that have ambiguous meanings or potentially negative connotations. ➢ You can try some mantras before choosing the one that speaks to you the most - based on meaning and sound. For example, suppose you want a mantra for anxiety. In that case, you probably will enjoy working with Om, which has a calming effect. Once selected, it is always better to use an equivalent mantra, so its effect is formed.

If you have a spiritual goal or purpose in mind, thanking a mantra is different. You should consider that every word has its own "energy," consumed through the way people repeat it. Therefore, it is prudent to select a standard mantra - a word or sound that has been employed by spiritual seekers for hundreds of years, with an indifferent attitude and intention. You may be happier using the first word within the language during which it was conceived (discovered) (usually Sanskrit, Pali, Hebrew, Aramaic, or Tibetan). Furthermore, the correct pronunciation and pronunciation of the mantra are critical, as we aim to repeat that specific sound vibration. The first step is to decide which spiritual tradition and lineage speaks to you the most (if you are unsure, this lesson is often an honest start). Once you recognize what you echo best. Go to a teacher of that tradition - someone you respect - and get a mantra from him or her. Ask for suggestions. Relying on tradition, a mantra guru must have practiced vastly different mantras, recognize each one's vibration, and be ready to select one to support your specific goals and dispositions. Research the mantras used in that specific path, try all of them for a few days, and select the one that mainly gives you whatever you are trying to find. When repeating a mantra as a spiritual practice, try to reflect on the meaning or situation presented by that mantra. In a way, this is what makes mantra meditation quite a glory affirmation practice. A mantra is a password, a key, a particular state of consciousness, or a universal principle you want to experience. In this approach, you are advised to keep the mantra secret. Although this is a mantra that is on the Web here, and thousands practice it. The simple reason is the sacred secret. Hold your mantra sacred, secretly, then its effect on your consciousness will deepen. Progress and level The more we repeat our mantra, the more it is "activated" or "magnetized." It is said for one-word mantras that it "gets a lifetime of its own" after 125,000 iterations. It works with our repeated meditation mantra that charges it. Ultimately the mantra becomes the most powerful thought in your mind, then

you can consider it to bring peace. Once your mantra really gains momentum, the repetition becomes more and more effortless. It is almost as if we simply "start" or "log in" the mantra, and it continues its own, leading us into internal silence. This is a normal progression of practice: ➢ ➢ ➢

➢

➢

Oral recitation - You repeat it aloud. It engages more of your senses, making it easier to stay focused. Whispering - Lips and tongue move, but there’s hardly any sound. This practice is subtle and more resounding than oral recitation. Mental recitation - You only repeat the mantra inside your mind. Within the beginning, there is naturally some movement within the tongue and throat. Still, over time, these also fade away, and so this practice is only mental. This phase is what people usually do with mantra cultivation. Spontaneous listening - Currently, you are not repeating the mantra, but the mantra moves in your mind, spontaneously, all the time. Now, there is no need to worry about its loudness, speed, etc. Just because it is being heard repeatedly because it naturally wants to be repeated. This level is called Jaap Japan and is silent mantra meditation. As you can see, there is progress from unpolished to subtle, from evolution to effortlessness. A possible mistake some make is their eagerness to drop levels and begin with a direct mental recurrence or spontaneous repetition. It is a steeper climb than step-by-step progress, in a way.

Even if you do not like oral recitation and need to travel on a mental level, I like to recommend you start with a minimum of a couple of rounds of a whisper in the beginning. This can help you to focus your mind more easily on the mantra. Whatever you find yourself on this scale, if you find that your mind is distracted by the mantra, distracted in thinking or sleep, take it down a notch

and do some more using the mantra. Make a conscious effort until it can carry you one more time. A mantra is often combined with other practices, such as visualization, which specialize in a cycle, devotion, etc. The primary techniques described here are usually practiced with a purely secular/agnostic view; on the contrary, they have some metaphysics. Mantras to meditate with the Dhyana mantra make up the bare bones of the guidelines below and apply to all other practices as well. Ceremonial mantra meditation adopts an asana mudra. For informal practice, you can be repeating the mantra in the back of your mind, with open eyes, during other daily activities. This is an excellent thank you for helping you focus on your lifestyle. The speed with which you recite the mantra can also vary depending on the length of the mantra. Short ones (one to 3 syllables long) are often repeated more slowly than phrase-long episodes. Since it is often technique-specific and mantra-specific, it is best to follow the suggestions given by your teacher. In the absence of one, experiment with different speeds of repetition and see what you want at the forefront. In my experience, both repeating the mantra quickly and repeating it slowly led me to a state of silence. However, the "taste" of that silence is different in each case. It feels like a kind of deep, zooming in, theta-waves are like silence when repeating it slowly. When reciting it rapidly, it is more intense, "in flux," gamma-waves silent. In any case, instead of changing it several times during the session, it is best to stay at a consistent pace of repetition. Loudness and Force If your mind is boisterous, you probably want to "turn up the volume" of the mantra's repetition, which can make it louder and thicker. Otherwise, your attention can just fly off on a tangent with thinking. As your mind calms down, the mantra often becomes "thinner and lower,"

like a high-frequency sound that you can just barely hear. The word itself is almost lost, and hence the mantra feels more like a sound vibration. If this happens naturally for you, then let it happen. But if you catch the mantra again and forget it, it is better to bring it back to a level where you can easily stick with it. Whether or not you can coordinate the mantra with your breathing, some options are: ✓

Both inhalation and exhalation. If your mantra is concise, like om, you can repeat it once while breathing in and again while breathing out. Otherwise, you can increase speed and repeat it 3 times on breathing in and 3 times on exhalation - or repeatedly because it feels right for your rate and length of the breath. If your mantra is long, you can say half on the breath, and then the last half when you exhale. ✓ Exhale only. Inhale with no voice and repeat the mantra while exhaling. ✓ Even if you must breathe just pay attention to the mantra, do not pay attention to the breath. Over time, living naturally synchronizes with the rhythm of the mantra. Whether you are reciting the mantra or just meditating on it, the mind's function is to actively focus on each repetition. Let every replay be new, full of life and awareness. Unite your mind entirely with the mantra. Get one with it. Let each ounce of your attention be attached to it. To facilitate this method, keep in mind some exercises such as - care, curiosity, reverence, gratitude, or whatever is sensible for that specific mantra. Think of the mantra as a station, and your mind as the antenna. However, the case with this antenna is that it automatically keeps switching frequencies. Our goal is to keep this antenna in sync with the mantra. After a while, you can see that while there may be a layer of thinking, there is a mantra layer at the deepest level of your mind. Take your awareness to a

deeper layer. In th end do not force your mind. This creates tension, which is not conducive to meditation. The task is simply to take care of the awareness of the mantra without being overwhelming moment by moment. It is endless and relaxed awareness. The mantra in Yoga- Chakra, Pranayama, Kundalini In the contemplation tradition of yoga, many passages use mantra meditation. In these practices, mantra repetition is usually associated with breathing, specific visualization, contemplation, and, therefore, chakras. Chakras are the practice of reciting mantras in some lineages (Kundalini Yoga, Rhythm Yoga, and Tantra Yoga) focusing on specific chakras (centers within the body). One method of practicing this is often by repeating the seed-sound of each chakra. Here are the majority of chakra mantras with their mantras, and hence the pronunciation guide in parentheses. In yoga, tantra, and other yoga schools, there is also synchronizing mantras with specific breathing patterns. Here are some samples of yoga mantras: ✓

A-HAM mantra ("I am"). Repeat "A" on exhalation and "HAM" on exhalation. ✓ SO-HAM Mantra Repeat "SO" on exhalation and "HAM" on exhalation, turning your attention up and down your spine. ✓ Soham - Hama. Inhale through your left nostril while repeating "such," then exhale through your right nostril while repeating "ham." On the way back, now repeat the breath "ham" through your right nostril and "sa" while exhaling through your left nostril. It is a cycle. Practice at least ten courses. There are other elaborate exercises, but these will do if you are like me and prefer simplicity. Rituals and Visualization Mantras In the school of yoga, - there is wide use of mantras along with visualization and rituals. This topic is beyond the scope of this lesson.

In Contribution Vedanta (Jnana Yoga), mantras used to understand spiritual truth are used. These are called "Mahasaya" or great. The highest are: Ahom Brahmasmi ("I am Brahma") Tatami Asi ("You are art") SIRVA Kalevala Brahma ("All is Brahmi") In this practice, the highest meditation is the contemplation of the meaning of the mantra, rather than mere repetition of words or sounds. The goal is to develop knowledge by strengthening an understanding or insight. Generates mantra writing (chanting of Lakshita) This practice more senses: writing mantras, watching mantras, chanting mantras, and listening to mantras. Here are some basic guidelines: Set up a truthful quality notebook and pencil/pen separately for the needs of this practice. Throughout the session, write the mantra on paper while repeating it in your mind, out loud, or even whispering it. To speed up the exercise, try to write as short and as neatly as possible. This may require more concentration. Fix your eyes on the notebook. Do not move them until you have completed the session. Deity Meditation - Tantra and Bhakti Marg Passages In both these, mantra meditation is usually through open eyes, while 108 beads of beads (also called garlands) are used considering the amount of repetition. As developed in India and Lamaism, the actual Tantra is quite different from the Tantra prevalent within the West, which aims at sexual enhancement. In the path of the traditional tantra, one main cultivation deity is yoga. This

practice aims to experience a state of communion/identity with some of the universal forces of nature, expressed as deities, and thus awaken spiritual insights and qualities within the practitioner's consciousness. (Jungian psychologists consider these deities as fanatics of the collective unconscious.) For this purpose, the mantra is the actual vehicle. In Tantra, the mantra is not prayer. It is not even the name of the deity, but the sound-form of that deity. Once we relate to the mantra's convenience, the vibration of our own mind gets connected to the larger sense, which is itself a characteristic of a vibratory nature. In Tantra (Hindu or Buddhist), the practitioner can usually employ one or more exercises while repeating the mantra: a-Imagine the shape of the chosen deity. b-Include the qualities of that deity (such as power, beauty, knowledge, etc.). c-Even in the gaze on the image or symbol (yantra) of that deity. d-Feelings of reverence, amazement, devotion, or devotion to the deity. e-Develop an attitude of identifying yourself with the deity approached through the mantra. Examples of tantric mantras are the famous shakti seeds: aim, haim, scrim, haleem, karim, kilim, strim, hum, south, etc. The mantra in Bhakti Yoga is repeated by the practitioner as a prayer containing that name, repeatedly with feelings of devotion. Here are some examples of Hindu mantras for popular deities within the Hindu pantheon: Shiva -> Om Namath Shivaya Vishnu -> Om Namo Bhagavata Vasudevaya Ganesh -> Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha Saraswati -> Maa Saraswati Namah In

In Buddhism the mantra is more used as a tool to focus the mind. In Theravada, some mantras are chanted as an aid to concentration, especially by people. For example, the venerable Azan Sumedho recommends the mantra Budo, the "Bud" that we recommend to breathe in and the "-do" as we exhale for the entire cycle of the mental cycle. In Mahayana, mantras are associated with several different types of Buddha. Although this mantra is roughly equivalent to meditation, the practice of chanting is found in most Buddhist traditions, including Zen. For Nikiren Buddhists, reciting the mantra Nam Myoho Renge Kyo is their leading practice. Here is a list of Buddhist mantras for meditation ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Pali Mantra Sabby Satta Sukhi Hotu Om Shanti Buddha Gadhafi Charanam. Dammam Sarana Panchami. Sangha Sarana Panchami. Sanskrit Mantra Gate Paragate Parasamgate Body Sova Om Mani Padme Hum Om Tare Tuttare Sourav Chinese Namo Amitofo Christian Mantra Meditation

The practice of prayer, also known as Christian meditation, is the equivalent of mantra meditation. A holy word is chosen from the Christian tradition, then repeated with feelings of devotion. Here are some examples of Christian mantras: God, Father, Jesus, Mary, Abba, Mercy, Love, or Maranatha (Aramaic for "Come, Lord!"). It is worth noting that this type of Christian meditation was created by the Irish Benedictine monk John Main, who learned mantra meditation from a

Hindu master while serving in Malaysia.

Transcendental meditation TM is possibly the most well-known type of mantra meditation outside India. Despite all their marketing efforts in separating the two, the TM technique is essentially a mantra meditation type. I can turn you away from the official narrative, as you can read about it on their site. Here I am not simply discussing some facts extensively: As mentioned, their technique is mantra meditation, which can be learned without spending large amounts of cash. The mantras they teach are not unique to each student but are supported by their gender and age group. Here is the list of TM mantras. The TM organization presents itself as secular, but they need deep spiritual roots. Hence the initiation ceremony and thus the descent of the Gurus. Often, they teach that the TM technique does not involve effort. However, as discussed above, giving up all actions and just taking care of the mantra are some of the things we can do effectively only after an extended period of coaching. We have replicated the objective with awareness and focus. If you leave it and just go on spontaneous repetition, you can soon reach a plateau in your practice. This can cause a pleasing state of rest and relaxation, but it is unlikely to be a deep concentration and samadhi level. On the positive side, the TM organization helps many of us start a solid meditation practice and marketing it widely. If you practice TM and it sounds acceptable to you, do not demotivate my writing to you - continue with the procedure. If you want to change their method that does not have many issues above, then observe the natural stress response or Vedic meditation.

Transcendental Meditation To understand why TM is unique, we would like to take a step back and examine how Mindfulness Meditation works. All opposite types of meditation use a similar mechanism for Mindfulness other than TM, so I am going to describe the difference between those two types only for simplicity. In current popular culture, mindfulness encourages the cultivation of nonprudential, periodic awareness both during practice and in lifestyle. We all experience a mess of thoughts that distract us from the front of our eyes. Maybe we are thinking about our to-do list, or just hearing a song brings back an old memory. In any case, we spend longer in our heads than in the here and now. With Mindfulness Meditation, by repeatedly reverting our conscious awareness to the moment (for example, those who concentrate on a breath, body parts, or an object), we are ready to follow our anxious or depressive thought patterns. In simple words, it suggests learning to pay attention to your thoughts and leaving them by shifting the mental focus from that thought, like the speed of your breathing. The act of actively looking at thoughts without judgment, and therefore, the authority in the body attempting to let go of these thoughts, serves as a braintraining exercise. The more we do it successfully (both during our meditation and in ordinary life), the more we empower ourselves to make conscious choices instead of controlling our negative thoughts. To understand this idea better, you would imagine your mind to be like an ocean. You have found waves of any height and size on the surface, but in the heart, there is nothing but complete calm and peace. Your thoughts are waves. You can rotate your brain waves round and round in ordinary life, trying to cope with them. Sometimes you can climb and swim on them; sometimes, you can feel overwhelmed by their power and feel like drowning yourself or being defeated by your strength.

Mindfulness meditation is like a surfboard that allows you to play those waves effortlessly. The more you practice, the more you get into surfing, and therefore it becomes easier to manage your thoughts. Sometimes, via browsing this process time, people can come to a state of ultimate complete peace. This state is the "second state of meditation" or transit. Note that the goal of Mindfulness Meditation is not to succeed at this stage. Instead, it aims to actively train your mind to let thoughts go and develop the power to make thoughtful choices in lifestyles. I have personally practiced thousands of Mindfulness Meditation hours and taught it to many of my clients with excellent results. What I have noted, though, is that some people are simply unable to stay with it and luxuriate in its brain training process. Typically, these people have a truly active and resonating mind and cannot "turn off their thoughts" with their brainwashing techniques. For those people, transcendental meditation works like magic due to its completely different method. How is transcendental meditation different? Imagine being a submarine instead of a surfboard, imagining coming back like an ocean of your mind. A bit like a submarine, TM can safely take you to the deepest depths of your mind, where it is calm and peaceful. Now that I have made you interested, let us know how parodic meditation works. If the goal of meditation is to train the brain in conscious awareness, then TM aims to travel beyond the thinking process. If done correctly, it can be a straightforward, automatic continuation of the flow of Mindfulness Meditation. The vehicle used to succeed in this state is the mantra. (I will explain how this works later.) If we come to the example of the sea, now in our submarine (mantra), we are ready to slowly reach the ocean's depths, where there is also calm and peace. There, you are in a state of rest, where you can tap into the source of energy, thought, and creativity (also called collective unconscious by Carl Jung).

When we reach those depths, we experience a deep state and release even the most profound tensions. TM's beneficial effects occur spontaneously (not consciously) when you are ready to reach a state of transcendence. [happen] People who practice TM regularly have a deep sense of relief in increased mindfulness and stress. TM teachers emphasize the fact that the mind has a natural tendency to go into this calm state. Unfortunately, the mind also always tends to search for what is interesting around us. This is often why, with contemplation meditation, an expert in actively looking at your thoughts, it is challenging to relax this brain's tendency to settle in deep peace. To practice TM, it is necessary to take a seat and close your eyes; enough. You do not need any unique currency. Indeed, being alone in a quiet room with a Kushina chair can help facilitate the method. Still, once you get it, you can be rolled over to your desk or even do it somewhere while sitting on the bus. All you want to do is keep your eyes closed and silently chant your mantra. The general advice is to chant twice a day, for 20 minutes. This is partly thanks to our body's natural clock (circadian rhythm) and the very fact that the more you get into the habit of blocking time to meditate, the more likely it is that you will form a habit. Despite this recommendation, there are no set-stone rules on how often and the way you need to perform your TM session. Most are separate and have a different schedule, so whatever is in your diary should be your choice. Now, let us be right for the business, and let us say the mantra. The most common mantra is A-HAM . Teachers do not use this mantra due to the perfection of this sound. In Hinduism, the sound homme reflects the sounds of both the negative and the positive combined. The A-HAM Mantra is practiced mainly by monks. Each teacher I interviewed stated that "Also, the second mantra may work well." Other specimens of the mantra may be:

Kirim Shirim Inga Alma etc. (no, this is not a single mantra) A mantra sounds like this. Some chanting: Kiiiiiiririmmmm Shiririiiiim Shiiiiririnnnn Iiiiiingaaaa Iiiiingaaaa Aiiaaaena Aaaaaaena of different letters of different lengths, and your Mantras should be chanted while you are chanting so that it is easy to induce this "trance" effect on your mind. Once more, how you are doing that does not matter. If you chant it for the entire length of your session, it should work. Should you try different mantras? Most teachers told me that both they and their students are using the same mantra they have been given for their entire lives in their first TM sessions. Once again, the exercise's purpose is not to look for the most straightforward possible sound for you, but to develop a habit of melting tension in your mind by pronouncing a meaningless sound. On the other hand, if you are trying to go to TM on your own and feel that the mantra you have chosen reminds you of an excessive amount of an actual word, choose another completely meaningless one. People who speak many languages may find it harder than those who speak only their mother tongue, but it is still relatively easy to find a pointless sound. If you learn TM from a teacher, they can choose a mantra for you in your first meeting after filling in the questionnaire. Then, you can chant it with them and progress to private, silent meditation practice. During practice, the

teacher can give some feedback and allow you to experience TM's mechanics on the spot. This process is followed by another meeting with the teacher and two group meditations. Can You Teach Yourself Outward Meditation? The teacher himself openly says that you can only do TM on your own. The principles are simple, and each one is following some practices and doing it accordingly. What a TM course gives you (which you cannot achieve on your own) is the teacher's accountability and, therefore, the support of a conflict of likeminded people. Most people buying TM courses are not looking to only find a system. They typically seek support in their healing journey to fight stress, insomnia, addictions, or relationship problems. If you have tried Mindfulness Meditation and experience starting TM easily, experience the difference between the first two, with no course to be found. A great way to go can be simply this: Look up on YouTube under "Transcendental Meditation Mantra," pick one, and see how it is chanted. Play the track and watch it chanted as they are doing it within the video. Close the track, sit, close your eyes, and silently chant an equal mantra for 20 minutes. Repeat this process twice each week, almost every week. If you find that TM causes you to feel better when you are doing Mindfulness Meditation and want to find out more about it, you can plan to invest in it again. Take this and TM courses. So, is TM appropriate for you? No one can tell if TM is better than other types of meditation. Everything works differently for each person, and we must explore and explore new things before judging them.

If you are meditating, I suggest you try TM on your own or with a teacher to broaden your mind. One goes for identical people who are new meditators, but, during this case, I can recommend Mindfulness Meditation with an app like Headspace. TMS is often quite tricky for a beginner without the right guidance. So the course itself is expensive (counting from 250 to 1,000 dollars or perhaps more on your income). Whatever meditation you choose to focus on, I encourage you to plan at least 30 daily practices. Doing this can give you time to experience some tangible benefits in your everyday life. Learning about your mind is an enjoyable experience. The more you study your brain's mechanics, the more you can experience personal growth and happiness.

Progressive relaxation Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) is a non-pharmacological method of deep muscle relaxation, supporting the premise that muscle tension is the body's psychological response to anxiety-provoking thoughts that block muscle relaxation anxiety. The technique involves learning to observe stress in specific muscle groups by first attaching each muscle group. This tension is then released, as attention is paid to the differences felt during stress and relaxation. The early development of PMR was done by American physician Edmund Jacobson and first presented at Harvard University in 1908. In 1929, Jacobson published the book Progressive Relaxation, including an intensive process to relieve muscle tension. His work led to the use of the word "rest" within the sense of "calm," "stressed to calm, stressed, or alleviated." He continued to ponder the subject throughout his life and wrote several books about it.

These learning sessions are not exercising or self-hypnosis. Training sessions are held in a darkened room with the student in a sitting position and eyes closed. Instructions begin by asking the person to relax and just give up, get away from their thoughts, or try to solve physical distractions or problems. In each session, the teacher reviews a particular muscle group. One modification of the technique is "biofeedback," during which a person uses external measurement devices to describe how successful a person is at resting and then using those techniques to relax without the help of external measurement devices. Progressive muscle relaxation is usually recommended to be applied daily. The method of starting from the upper body to the lower parts has its own top-down sequence. Typically, the duration of a course is eight weeks, with each weekly session taking approximately one hour. Progressive muscle relaxation techniques require a high degree of personal motivation, as the effects often only appear after long sessions. Before starting a course, it is recommended to consult a doctor to ensure that the focus is given for choosing groups and receive a recommendation on the correct approach. Jacobson's progressive relaxation in modern physical therapists remains popular. Although many institutions and individuals offer advanced muscle relaxation training, what they teach is not standardized. There is no credentialing process for advanced muscle relaxation technique instructors. Nowadays, non-pharmacological treatments of insomnia have become an alternative replacement or supplement to regular medical aid. Progressive muscle relaxation is employed as a treatment for some causes of insomnia. They are meant to reduce physical stress and disrupt racing thought processes that affect sleep. Insomnia is a common psychological problem of cancer patients and especially for those in pain. Some studies reported the benefits of progressive muscle relaxation techniques employed by cancer patients. One of them posted: "The significant effect for the muscle relaxation group on the latency of sleep onset indicates that subjects' self-reported insomnia was significantly improved. Total sleep time was also increased."

Pain relief is one of the persistent symptoms in patients undergoing painful surgery or cancer chemotherapy. Various treatments are proposed for its treatment, including relaxation techniques. Progressive muscle relaxation techniques are generally recommended to increase blood flow that supplies more oxygen, increasing local metabolism, and reducing pain and muscle spasms. Additionally, progressive muscle relaxation may also reduce pain perception as in providing pain relief by patients after surgery. Overall | One among all. "One of the recent studies" indicated "a significant stress reduction in all types of muscles between pre-and post-test conditions for patients after surgery because of progressive muscle relaxation." Progressive muscle relaxation techniques have indicated some positive achievements within the treatment of chronic pelvic pain in women. Just in the case of chronic pain, it seems impossible to avoid the pain, but it is possible to avoid the perceived danger (pain). Chronic pelvic pain is often associated with the result of an abdominal function of the systema nervosum (often referred to as "neuropathic pain"). If medications are prescribed, they fail to achieve success; women may also be referred to specializing exercises during management, just like a progressive muscle—relaxation technique. Here, the treatment purpose is to release the muscles' tension within the abdomen and lower back, as musculoskeletal tension. Several studies tried to demonstrate whether there are some advantages of using progressive muscle relaxation techniques in sports. Professional sports require constant stress from athletes both physically and mentally, so advanced muscle relaxation techniques can help athletes optimize optimal performance and functioning in their lifestyles. Ha Hashim and H. Hanfi conducted an experiment with teenage football players. Results of progressive muscle relaxation on athletes. During this experiment, the results obtained suggested reductions in the confusion, depression, fatigue, and stress subscale scores after progressive

muscle relaxation. Schizophrenia - the coping progressive muscle relaxation technique has been used in psychological stress as an alternative means of subjective pressure and the state. Anxiety-Many modern studies have reported a therapeutic effect on psychological distress and anxiety symptoms as a reaction/remission for people with schizophrenia. There is evidence of decreased stress levels after regular training. Patients have a greater sense of well-being and well-being. Also, they aim to explore ways of managing stressful situations, particularly those associated with "self-control," "assuming responsibility," and "positive reassessment." However, a progressive muscle relaxation technique is not widely used for patients with schizophrenia and requires additional research.

Cultivation of love Our lives speed up, being driven by many forces beyond our control; during this radical act, more and more people are getting ready to discuss meditation themselves. We occupy the direction of attentional awareness for many reasons, not the smallest amount that can take care of our individual and collective conscience, fix our attitude and sense of meaning, or just the offending nature of this age. All this may affect stress and insecurity. How to stop and deliberately drop things during the moment, purposefully, without our own reactions and judgments, and with a healthy dose of selfcompassion acting sensibly with such events. Once we commit suicide, and despite all our plans and activities here and now for a time of our own will, requires residence for the purpose of completing a project or accomplishing desired objects or goals, we find out that such an act is both significantly, challenging to discourage and yet simple and profound, is highly probable in any case, and right after the mind and body, soul and spirit. It really is a radical act of affection just to take a seat and lock yourself away for a time. Love, affection, compassion, sympathetic bliss, and tranquility is a rigorous

meditation practice used to focus on the forefront. The powers of those evolving qualities emerge, which infect the intestines. Simply naming these qualities of the heart clearly and clarifying their role in our behavior can help us to accept them once the mind arises spontaneously during practice. In challenging times, dare and along with it also underline the direction repeatedly. These practices, and especially loving-kindness, can often very practically serve as a necessary and sufficient antidote to states of mind, such as raging anger, which, at the time of their emergence, may be too strong to participate through observation unless they are practiced and highly developed. Practicing formal love and affection at such times can serve to melt someone's relationship into such a sad state of mind so that we can be saved from their energies altogether. This makes them more acceptable, and it makes them less attractive. But the practice, with direct observation, on its own, becomes the embodiment of loving-kindness and compassion by all and can embrace any mood, though the victims are toxic. And within seeing it and therefore knowing it — an open-hearted nonreactionary, non-judgmental presence — we can see in the character of anger or grief for what it is. And within the view, within its embrace, within its knowledge, as we have seen, it attenuates, weakens, evaporates, quite like touching a bubble or writing on water. What emerges in such moments is nothing but loving-kindness itself naturally arising from extended silence, without an invitation because it is not already here. Lying down in a dignified seated posture or whatever you do, as you are feeling ready, bringing your awareness to the breath and therefore the body as a complete breath and over a period is resting here, setting a comparatively stable stage of the moment- moment-by-moment awareness, riding on the waves of breath. And once you feel comfortable with having such a picture flow in your mind's eye, it is possible that what you discover is someone in your life who loves you or who loves you unconditionally. To make yourself feel the qualities of selfless love and kindness is to make fun of yourself and give

them to you, or to suit you. Therefore give you the whole aura or realm of their love - right here to breathe with these feelings, bathe in them, to rest within you as the warmth and glow of their heartbeat. Or drinking in the experience that you only love unequal and unconditional and are accepted as you are - without being different, without being worthy of their love, without being particularly excellent. In fact, you may not feel particularly worthy or deserving. It does not matter. This is irrelevant. The relevant point is that you are simply loved or were. His love is for you, even if you are. Which you are now, already, and probably forever are entangled in them, allowing their own hearts to enjoy these feelings. Moving moment by moment within the rhythmic beat of another's a lovefilled heartbeat. And within the rhythm of one's own breathing, allows your heart to be held and bathed in such a manner by the warmth of this bright pulsing region of love and kindness. And if it helps you take a person away from their memory during this time, see if you would imagine that someone is dealing with you in a way. And imagine with great vivacity the feelings of affection and kindness and connection. Which can serve equally well during this practice. As you feel ready, and whenever you are feeling prepared, see if you can also become a source because of the object of those feelings. In other words, take these feelings for yourself as if they were your own rather than another's. Lingering as the best with a rhythmic beat of their own heart. Cradle these feelings of affection and acceptance and kindness for yourself in your heart beyond any kind of decision. Feeling loving emotions for your child like a mother's loving embrace - where you are both a mother and, therefore, a child. It would be best to relax here in these feelings, from moment to moment. Take a bath in your own way. Complete acceptance of your own, as you are here during the moment. The meaning should not be self-sufficient, being natural, forced, or coerced in any way. Even its small tastes are balm and a sucker for all the negativity and self-criticism and self-loathing that can lie

beneath the surface of our souls. While relaxing in this area of loving-kindness, following this embrace of kindness, you can find yourself useful for later phrases whispering inwards, or hearing them whispering through you, from the air. Emphasized by the planet, or perhaps more strongly, with more strength: I can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. I can be happy and satisfied. Maybe I can be healthy, and all that is possible. Can I experience simple goodness? Slowly at my own pace, more and more, whispering from within, hearing within, feeling, sensing, affirming I can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. I can be happy and satisfied. Whatever may be possible, I can be healthy within the whole. Can I experience simple goodness? I can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. I can be happy and satisfied. Maybe I can be healthy, and all that is possible. Can I experience simple goodness? First, it can feel artificial that you are saying such things to yourself or maybe thinking about them. After all, who is the “I '' who is seeking this? And who is the "I" who is achieving these desires? In the end, both disappear in the sense of being safe and free during this moment, in the feeling of being satisfied and happy during this time, the feeling of being fulfilled during this moment, since you are already complete. We spend a lot of time staying away from simplicity and comfort, and fragmentation. This feeling, this very emotion, this is the essence of loving-kindness. But you would probably object if this is often a selfless practice, why do I concentrate on myself? On my own feelings of security and welfare? On my own pleasure? One response would be: because you are not separated from the universe that gave birth to you. Then you deserve love-kindness as anything or any other. Your loving-kindness cannot be either loving or kind if it does not involve itself. But do not worry, as at the same time it is not limited to itself. Because the field of loving-kindness is infinite. If you wish, you can consider the practice of love-caress, as we are conflating it to the present point, at the

minimum level, as tuning your instrument before playing it on the planet. In this case, adjusting the tool is an enormous act of affection and kindness, not a path to the end. Once you establish a steady area of loving-kindness around you and stay here for a time and feel held and covered in your neck, you deliberately expand the field of courage. Sometimes we can broaden the area of awareness within Mindfulness practice. We can expand our own heart and the realm of lovingkindness around ourselves, calling other beings alone, or embracing this growing embrace. It is not always straightforward to try to do this often. It is then helpful to start with a person for whom you naturally have disturbing feelings of love-affection, and if you care to seek it out. Otherwise, you can just keep embracing yourself because the recipients of your own love and kindness, either using the phrases we are already using or modifying them to be yourself. So, if you are expanding the field of love-kindness out of your own heart and your body and out of your own body and into your heart, out of your heart and mind, to the sensation or image of a private person, A person for whom you have received a lot of love, someone who is emotionally on the verge. Are you able to keep this person in your heart with the same quality of loveaffection that you are merely directing yourself to? Whether it is a child or a parent, sibling or sister, grandparents or other relatives or distant, deep friends or cherished neighbors, alone or together. Breathe with him or her in your heart. Hold them in your heart. Imagining him as the best in your heart. Because, just to allow you to know this, the practice is so intrinsically powerful that none of the imaging of yourself or others should be too vivid for it to be effective. And send best wishes to them: He, she, they are safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. He, she, be happy and satisfied. He, she, they can be healthy, and all that is possible. He, she, they can experience simple goodness. Language of the moment, within the sphere of love and affection within one's own heart. These phrases as you voice them to yourself silently, and even more so with the sensation behind them. Repeating them again and again, not

mechanically, not like a mantra, but with full reflexes, knowing what you are saying. The intention behind the sensation, the purpose, and the emotion behind each phrase. He, she, they can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. He, she, be happy and satisfied. He, she, or they can be as healthy and whole as possible. He, she, or they may experience simple goodness. Here, whenever you are ready, if you care, you can invite in the heart of love for whom your relationship is more neutral, or perhaps people you do not know in the least, or whom you 'Only heard of secondhand friends of their friends as examples. And then, keep him, her, or them in your heart, wish them well: he, she, or they may be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. He, she, or they can be happy and satisfied. He, she, or they can be as healthy and whole as possible. He, she, or they may experience simple goodness. If you find the mind wandering; otherwise, you struggle at a particular point, even if within the mind cultivation, just notice what is happening within the mind. Perhaps a feeling of struggle in maintaining your focus or your concentration. And quickly, once again, to indulge me in the realm of love and caress and return to the whispered phrases, spoke to oneself from the inside, resting within the feeling emanating from these phrases, And below that, out of your heart. From moment to moment, whoever you are, alone or together, whom you are sending affection. And from here on, if you care, you can expand once more in the field of awareness to include one or more individuals who are literally problematic for you in one method or another, with whom you are a Share a troublesome past, perhaps. It may have caused you to harm in some manner or another, which for any reason makes you think more hostile or obstinate than a lover. This does not mean that you are simply being asked to forgive them for what they have done to harm you or to harm you or others. You are just accepting that they are also people, that they too aspire, they also desire to be full, happy, and

safe. So, the best thing is, and only to the degree that you just feel ready for it, or minimally usable with it, extending all the love and kindness between them, all the difficulties you had and for problems: It may be that that, or that they are safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. He, she, or they can be happy and satisfied. He, she, or they are as healthy and complete as possible. He, she, or they may experience simple goodness. Along the way, with the cultivation of meditation, where we can relax with one object of introspection or expand the area to include different levels of meditation objects, so during this loving practice, we can use the day, week, may rotate for months, or years. Different levels of training, all of which are equally valid and equally medical, and each of which ultimately involves each other. So, suppose you want to cultivate loving-kindness and direct it only towards yourself, during this period of practice, or for many exercises. In that case, it is outstanding, and you just love that dimension of love and you can maintain and maintain it. Or if you only care about directing love-affection to those you recognize and love, or maybe on a person and once again, that is fine too. Any level at which you like to cultivate and want to have direct loving-kindness is ideal. And eventually it embraces all others anyway. For the time being, it is a possibility (because your own capacity to love, whether you recognize it or not, is infinite; it is merely a character of affection, that it is infinite and thus indeed an endless supply) which you can simply prepare naturally. More and more beings ask in the field of lovingkindness radiating from their own heart, and in their entire directions, internally and externally. Otherwise, you may find that sometimes they just cling, prohibited in any way. It is often interesting to notice. If you are not intentionally inviting them, why are they exposed anyway? And how do they come in? Hmmm ... maybe your heart is more significant and smarter than you think? In the spirit of infinite courage and affection for ourselves, we can further expand the loving-kindness field to include our neighbors and neighborhood,

our community, our state, our country, and the whole world. You can include your pets, all animal life, all flowers, life, the whole biosphere, and all sentimental beings. You can also be awfully specific and have specific people, even political leaders, in your loving-kindness. The difficulty is if you differ strongly with them and, in the end, look at them and even their basic humanity as a reason to include them. Like humans, they deserve to be affectionate. They can probably be answered in ways that your mind might not have imagined. And maybe an equivalent goes for you too. You can be significantly involved in the field of loving-kindness of those less fortunate than you who are exploited at work or reception. All those who are imprisoned appropriately or improperly. All those who are at the mercy of their enemies. All those who are hospitalized or ill or dying. All those trapped in chaos, who live in fear, suffer in some way, shape, or form. Whatever they bring to the current point in their lives, even as we do, they all want to experience simple goodness rather than disease and fragmentation, as we do. They all want to be happy and satisfied. They all have a desire to be complete and healthy. They all aspire to be safe and free from harm. So, we recognize how we all unite in our common aspiration to be happy and not suffer. We want them well: all beings, near and much, safe, and protected and inner and outer Be free from harm. All beings, near and many, be happy and satisfied. All beings, near and many, whichever is possible, are healthy and complete. All beings, possessed and more, can experience simple goodness. All beings, nearby and many, can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. All beings, near and many, be happy and satisfied. All beings, near and many, whichever is possible, are healthy and complete. And all beings, near and many, experience ordinary goodness. And there is no need to stop here. Why did not let the whole earth be included in the field of loving-kindness? Do they not embrace the same ground that is our home? It is a creature in its title, that during a sense, a body, a body that can be thrown off balance by its actions, intentions, and the

unconscious, posing significant threats to the life that nourishes it and of all for embedded intelligence for that aspect of life, animals and plants, and minerals that interact seamlessly within the wildlife. Then we can expand the area of the kindness of our heart to love even more. Once again, the inclusion of this point as the Earth in a holistic way and everything in that universe beyond that, during which our Earth is simply an atom and we, not even a quark. Our planet and, therefore, the entire universe can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. Our planet and, therefore, the whole universe should remain happy and satisfied. This planet and, therefore, the universe can be healthy and complete. Our world and, therefore, the entire universe can experience simple wellbeing. Our planet and, therefore, the whole universe can be safe and protected and free from internal and external harm. Our world and, therefore, the entire universe should remain happy and satisfied. Make our planet and, therefore, the whole universe healthy and full. Our planet and, therefore, the whole universe can experience simple wellbeing. It may seem a touch silly, even animated, to wish the Earth or the entire universe happiness. No, why not? In the end, whether we are talking about different people who are problematic for us or for the whole universe, what matters most is that we lean toward inclusion rather than isolating our hearts. Finally, to increase the reach of our own nature, through the literal and metaphorical way, to improve our desire on our behalf, regardless of the consequences for others or between the Earth or the universe or any level. The desire is deep. Ways of measuring within the world for our own lives and for our own potential, including wisdom and compassion, loving-kindness, and harmony, and ultimately those expressing the joy inherent in life and therefore, ourselves with infinite bliss Are rooted in freeing. All the conditioning of our mind and heart and the suffering that accompanies it. Trying to do this within loving-kindness meditation is to practice liberation of nature here and now. Here and now and now and always.

There is no doubt that the planet is pure by offering a person benefits and such intentions. The relationship within the lattice structure of reality and, therefore, the web of all life shifted through our openness and through our desire to release any rancor and ill, however befitting we can imagine it. At the same time, to our loyalty to such practice and to the profound nature of our own hearts, which we have risen from the world, out of the way of life, out of the universe, out of the mystery, in fact, somehow Blessed with is pure and wholly created in itself by the generosity of the gestures of lovingkindness practice, and its effect on courage that a flash is, at least, ready to prevent any kind of rancor, No and I cannot remain without holding the minimum. It is a pity in awareness. We who like to practice love-kindly, formally and informally, although only a touch but is always first, it is by no means is the only beneficiary. Repeating yourself to words like "You can be," "May you be happy," "May you be healthy," etc. Immediately affect your deep sense of self-worth. During the cultivation of love, all we want to do is plan some dedicated moments of praise, gratitude, and encouragement, first to ourselves and then to others. The practice shows long-lasting effects on our mind and our body. It initiates a ripple effect of truly empowering positivity. One of the proven benefits of loving-kindness meditation includes: 1. Less self-criticism There is hardly any room left after the plan of loving-kindness meditation that goes for self-criticism and self-harm. The strategy calms our inner critic and makes us more self-accepting than ever before (Frederickson, 2001). 2. More positive emotions Studies have shown that regular loving-kindness meditation increases vaginal tone, a physiological marker of subjective well-being. Positivity-Kindness Meditation generates reflection inside, attracts positive energy from the surface, and permanently improves life satisfaction levels (Coke et al., 2013).

3. Less self-destructive thought Research has shown that a seven-week unfiltered LKM practice inspires joy, gratitude, care, and hope. Individuals with suicidal tendencies and borderline personality traits showed a marked decrease within their own self-harming impulses and an overall decrease in negative symptoms (Frederickson, Coffey, Finkel, Cohan, Peak, 2008). 4. Reducing the symptoms of Pain Pilot studies on chronic back pain and migraine patients showed that once they practiced loving-kindness for a brief period of 2–5 minutes per day, they experienced less pain symptoms and showed an impressive decrease and could complete their daily tasks with greater ease and luxury (Tonelli et al., 2014, Carson et al., 2005). 5. More Flexibility A study on prolonged PTSD showed that engaging in intense, meaningful compassion and self-love meditation reduced trauma and flashback episodes. Control studies revealed that groups who received love-loving attention scripts during their sessions could begin work earlier than participants who received other types of guided instruction (Kearney et al., 2013) Were. 6. Long Term Benefits -The subsequent studies of the effect of loving-kindness meditation have shown that individuals attending sessions feel positive and self-motivated for fifteen months post-intervention. Compared to other meditation practices and self-help tools, love-kindness reflections evoked more affection and empathy for strangers and social interaction at work (Sepala and Gross, 2008). 7. Rapid Recovery Clinical populations such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder manifested a marked decrease in negative symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions when they practiced loving-kindness meditation individually or in groups. In addition to positivity and symptom reduction, the practice also improved their

judgments toward others they live or work with (Johnson et al., 2011). Best Practices of How to practice loving-kindness? Besides the regular benefits of meditation, including awareness, mental peace, and focus, loving-loving meditators enjoy the added benefits of joy, love, and affection. What is more, the practice is uber flexible and comfortable, which expands its reach on a good range of settings - personal, professional, and spiritual (Salzburg, 2008). While there is no right or wrong way to love, if we are committed to unconditional love and self-appreciation, here are some essentials of practicing LKM every day: Get out of your daily schedule for a while. Get out and plan love for humanity during those few minutes of the day. Even a little break at work can work fine. Key has a similar commitment to the attention of the meta during a specific time of day. Start with yourself. Using yourself because of the theme, show yourself your love and care in the first few sessions. Repeat praise words and blessings like "I can be," "I can be healthy," "I am sleeping," etc., and note down what changes are within you after each session. Set a timer for 2 minutes as you meditate. As you progress and get a more robust understanding of it, increase the time and practice accordingly. Having a timer within the first place prevents distracting or over-worrying about the minutes of coaching. Once you type the word for yourself, confirm that you hear yourself and internalize the meaning of the words. Your goal can be to direct a similar love and kindness through meta practice, including friends, family, relatives, or colleagues. After each meditation session, it is vital to allow a few minutes to recapitalize the experience. You can maintain a journal for recording before, after, and felt through the meditation session. Sharing emotions helps raise awareness of how meditation helped you and provides the impetus to continue practicing within the future. A critical requirement of final and loving-kindness practice is subjective

comfort. If you are not comfortable with your body, your mind, and together, therefore the environment you are practicing, you cannot completely drown in the meditation flow. Some comfort factors include: Selecting the posture for meditation. Regulation of the amount of sunlight within the room. A moderately illuminated space is preferable. Reducing the amount of noise around - Low noise is perfect for any meditation session. Wearing comfortable clothes - Lightweight and stretchy garments can give you more comfort during prolonged sitting. Prevent distracting, including TVs, mobiles, speakers, computers, or other gadgets. It is a simple idea to keep them away during a meditation session.

Visualization meditation As we grow up, we often scrap the imagination because we do not need it for most of our adult responsibilities. Also, it is usually considered childish behavior. However, experts discover that using our imagination in adulthood can help us reach our goals and manifest what we want in life. Visualization is actively used by a host of successful people, including athletes, entertainers, and professional moguls. When you can just imagine

reaching your goals, the most effective way to use this technique is to practice visual meditation. It is a simple, step-by-step process that you can perform almost anywhere and anytime. Moving towards the future When you think about the challenges that lie ahead of you, you may have a vague idea of where you want to go in your life. If so, then you are more likely to stumble upon anything that happens to you without having too much control over what happens to you.

What is a smart goal? In 1981, George Doran wrote about the SMART goals, which can be used by corporations, governments, and individuals alike when planning. Here is what it stands for: Specific - Goals need to be precise. Otherwise, you neither know how to achieve them nor when you have been successful. Measurable - The goals you can measure when you are falling short of the mark and when you are moving towards it. Finally, if the goal is not measurable, then you can only have a vague notion of whether you can achieve it or not. Assignable - You must set a goal, so someone (or team) is responsible for creating it. If a person or something is out of your control, it is not a goal. This is a hope, and you have no power to do so. Realistic - If a goal is not practical, then what is the point? You must set goals that are possible to achieve. Time-related - Your goals require a deadline, or they may never be met. Goals are constructive in almost every aspect of life. However, it is essential to note that a plan is not a visualization but preferably something you can visualize. For visualization to work, you need to find your own unique vision.

What is your unique vision? If you are not sure about your unique vision, believe it is within you. You just must uncover it or reveal it to yourself. One way to do this is through visual meditation. What is visualization meditation? Visualization meditation combines the technique of meditation with the method of visualization. In meditation, you focus your attention through a mental exercise, such as controlled breathing or repeating a mantra. It is a practice-based on quiet reflection. In the visualization meditation, you simply combine these two practices, visualizing something positive when you meditate. When people first use this method, they often find it challenging to stay focused for too long. They are quickly distracted by random thoughts or their environment. That said, persistence pays off. Eventually, you can develop a more remarkable ability to benefit from this technology. The following steps during meditation can help you visualize. Focus through mental exercise. Also, it gives you something to focus on other than your problems. Alternatively, you can look at an object directly and focus on it. What you focus on can take you through the next steps of the visualization process. Focus on one area of your life. If you are using the Visualization Meditation to make significant changes, do not try to fix everything in your life. Instead, focus on just one aspect. For example, you can focus on your career, your relationships, or your financial situation. Imagine The best You can do during meditation is to imagine the best that can happen. Not only that, but you need to visualize it clearly, uniquely, and in detail.

Imagine where you see yourself and what you want. (This is ultimately what you want to manifest over time.)

Negative thoughts to pass Allow without letting your worries, apprehensions, and arguments dwell on them. You cannot stop ideas from coming, but you can ignore them. Like clouds, let them flow and pay no attention when they appear. Focus on positive thoughts instead. Focus on a mid-range goal When you have had a chance to progress towards your goal, think of a time in the not-too-distant future. Ideally, what do you want to achieve by that time? What steps are you taking in your imaginative future to move towards that goal? Imagine your life when the goal comes true; imagine what your life will be like when you achieve your smart goal. Imagine its specifics. What places can you see? What else would you experience? How would you feel emotionally? Step Back and View Now, gain some perspective by imagining that you are experiencing good feelings and exciting sensations associated with achieving your goal. Enjoy that moment, knowing that you have taken an essential step towards making your dream come true. Come to the center to choose your goals immediately. The final stage of meditation is to think about the concrete steps taken in the coming day, week, or month to move towards making your goal a reality. Make these short-term smart goals and notice their ability to guide you towards success. As you turn off your visual attention, relax in your physical self, feeling the sensations present in your environment.

Move towards your goal every day, although meditation itself is over, you can benefit from the insights it gives. You may not be in a constant state of being intensely focused on your life, but you can regularly reflect on your goals and the actions that go toward those goals. Better yet, take small but frequent steps every day. What are the benefits of visualization meditation? Meditation has many health benefits, such as lowering high blood pressure, lowering heart rate, and calming the mind. Furthermore, visualization can help you move towards success more quickly. What about visual attention? What can you achieve by combining it with other methods? Increased positivity As you practice this technique, you can naturally develop a more positive attitude. You can learn to let go of the negative self-talk that you have probably been holding onto for years. You can also create a problem-solving habit and get a more positive, success-oriented approach. To keep better goals in mind Because visual attention requires you to focus on your goals, those goals can become more real and immediate for you. Once you focus on them for some time, they can stay with you and inform you of the choices you make every day. Emotional Preparation The calming element of meditation helps prepare you for the challenges you can face while working towards your goals. Besides, you can be ready to enjoy pleasant and exciting feelings with that success when you meet those goals.

Better Focus

Some people go through life unable to focus, but you do not have the ability or lack of some focus. Instead, it is something that you can develop, build, and improve over time. Flex that muscle enough, and you can find that your focus is as strong as you need it to be when it really matters. Increased motivation and energy Meditation sessions usually bring increased energy. As your body relaxes and stays in the fresh air, you can become physically energetic. You can become more active mentally. Also, your motivation can increase more and more as you continue your practice. Ready for action With a clear plan and extra attention, you can be well prepared to move towards your goal every day. How to start Meditation is one of the most straightforward exercises because it does not require any equipment outside of your body, meditation, and mind. If you are ready to start your visualization meditation journey, you can find some tips below. After a find a quiet, distraction-free place. Little practice to meditate, you may be able to meditate anywhere. Still, those new to meditation are more likely to succeed in a quiet environment with limited distraction. Put your phone on Do-Not-Disturb, set it up, and start meditating. Practice your visualization. Every possibility you get is like a muscle that needs to be worked out. Even after meditating and imagining, you should keep trying to create these mental images whenever you get a chance. Whether you plan your workout before lifting weights or are depicting a great day during work, try to imagine every aspect of your life to get more exercise. Be as realistic as possible in your goals.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, and you should always try to expect the best from yourself. However, there is wisdom and joy in knowing your limits and only working towards the goals you can achieve. When you set unrealistic goals, you prepare yourself for failure, which can be detrimental to your mental health and your future goal-setting efforts. Be sure to set goals that you can reach.

Buddhist Meditation Buddhism provides a smorgasbord of various meditation techniques that we can use to feel everything we could possibly desire: from developing peace, dissipating our anger, cultivating compassion, which can bring us with the ultimate, ever pleasing and enlightenment referred to in Buddhism as attaining enlightenment). Below I have listed the most common meditation techniques found in the spread of various Buddhist schools and traditions. This is often without a detailed list, but hopefully, it is often used as a framework to help you understand how these different meditations are often used, and you need to choose them. It should help if you possibly want to try to explore further. When determining which meditation technique is best for practicing you, I think it really comes down to personal choice. I often find myself using different methods, counting on the current state of my mind. For example, if my mind is racing with many thoughts, I usually like to count my breaths to calm it down. Also, suppose there is a specific spiritual quality that I want to cultivate. In that case, I can specialize in meditation specifically designed to enhance it. One thing is sure that each of these meditations can have more benefit than the results listed below. For example, the focus of love-affection is probably not increasing your feeling of love for others and reducing your enmity and hatred. Still, it can also bring greater happiness, contentment, and peace. Fundamentally, there are so many excellent benefits to list for each of the

various meditations, so I limited my descriptions to only detailing their intended purpose and what they primarily aimed to understand. Developing One-Point Concentration 1) Parity Meditation or Quiet Abode Meditation - This practice usually involves looking at our breath as an object of meditation. This meditation is specifically designed to calm our mind and concentrate on developing our powers of concentration. We can also add a way of counting our breaths to help increase our engagement and reduce our minds' overall distraction. It is also possible to use an external object for such meditation. You might like to pay attention to the Buddha statue and put all your visual and mental focus on one aspect of it. It is usually best to keep in mind the chosen part of the figure, rather than paying attention to the whole thing. You could alternatively use a picture of Buddha or your teacher to inspire faith and devotion. Otherwise, you can just focus on a small part of any object ahead of you. I often concentrate on a little plastic blue flower, putting all my concentration in the middle of it. In the short term, this meditation can bring more peace, happiness, and clarity to your life if you practice it weekly (better yet!) daily. But its primary purpose is to help establish a focused and stable mind so you can move towards developing insights. Once we can reach a deeper state of awareness, it can reveal our true nature and reality, resulting in ultimate peace and happiness (awakening/enlightenment). There are different types of variations that we could do from the common practice of watching our breath, especially if our mind is distracted or distressed by negative emotions. • If you are a visual person, add some colors to your breath • Add qualities to the breath to help ward off negative emotions, for example, imagining you are experiencing a positive quality and are weeding out the negatives that you just want to leave. 2) Walking Meditation - Not everyone is great when you sit for long periods.

Luckily, we can hack our sessions with walking meditation. After retreating throughout the day, it is common to have a half-hour meditation of one hour of sitting, to bring the sitting and running meditation in between. Generally, Walking Meditation is meant to enrich our sitting meditation to maintain our concentration between our sitting sessions. This meditation pays close attention to our feet's motion as we move slowly, back, and forth during a small defined area. 3) Vipassana Meditation - This meditation involves listening to sensations in every different part of your body and removing the senses. In Theravada Buddhist schools, it often tops meditation practices, the highest method for developing insight into our true nature. Most Theravada schools always incorporate Samantha practice before going on to Vipassana meditation. Other Buddhist schools also similarly practice Vipassana, although it is sometimes called 'Where is it yourself?' One can take a more analytical view of the question. Through the examination, the person becomes free from selfgreed. 4) Cones - This is usually a phrase or question that a meditator brings to mind again and again. It is not resolvable through conceptual thinking, and it attempts to push the meditator's mind into an experience beyond meditation. It is believed that shortcuts to the intellectual process can lead to direct realization. A famous Koan is 'What was your original face before you were born?' 5) Shikantaza ("just sitting") - This is often an aimless meditation, where the objective is to simply stay together during a state of concentration of the action of sitting, as well as what is on your mind. Different schools may require other methods, but if insight is not gained from this practice, the powerful concentration that usually develops first from breathing meditation can lead to insight into Shinkanta. One can stay away from getting up and devoting every moment. Developing Loving-kindness and compassion.

6 ) Metadata (Loving-kindness) Meditation - The purpose of this meditation is to increase our feeling of loving-kindness for all. We first create a metta (wishing others happiness) by paying attention to those things for which the easiest is kindness. Then we progressively move towards the hard objects of Metta, like our enemies. This practice is an efficient technique to eliminate our hatred and anger towards others. 7) Attention to the potential of Self et al. - The purpose of this meditation is to highlight our shared humanity, which no one wants to experience suffering. Putting ourselves in others' shoes can increase our compassion for everyone, no matter what. 8) Tonglen Meditation - Tonglen means 'give and receive.' Here we imagine we are suffering from others' sufferings and giving all the things they must ease their suffering. This practice is commonly referred to as 'secret.' It is powerful in increasing our compassion and reducing our selfishness and selfgreed. Analytical Meditation to Strengthen Buddha’s Teachings 9) Meditate on the defects of the world . This meditation sees the multitude of sufferings that the beings within the world can experience. Most importantly, it focuses on the various pains that people may experience. Although this meditation helps develop compassion for others, its primary purpose is that external worldly motives (such as having money, fame, and useful possessions) never bring lasting happiness. It reminds us that satisfaction is not to be found from external events but from within. This meditation is beneficial in strengthening our sannyasi and helping us to remain committed to our meditation practice, lest we deviate from pursuing the pleasant, unsatisfactory efforts of the planet. 10) Meditation on our precious human life - According to Buddha, it is infrequent for a person to be reborn. Furthermore, the conditions necessary for a person to have the ability to practice his teachings to achieve life are still rare! This meditation focuses on how difficult it is to attain this human

life, so we should appreciate the opportunity that we are now doing to practice. 11) Meditation on meditation - This meditation is closely related to the previous one. Once we realize how short our time on Earth is, it can motivate us to practice and procrastinate no longer. Furthermore, once we truly feel this law of inequality in our bones, we can more readily accept the changing aspects of our lives to let go of things (and people) more easily because everything and everyone is different. 12) Meditation on equality - Often, we quickly define the people in our lives into categories: those we love, hate, or feel indifferent to. All these are illusions, as per Buddha; We should never fix permanent labels for everchanging events. This meditation helps us disrupt the labels that we have given to people in our lives, so we can develop loving-kindness and compassion for all people equally. 13) Focusing on remembering the mother's kindness - The purpose of this meditation is to remind us of the heart of our mothers so we develop a sense of gratitude. It helps us to create a responsible way to repay their service, not only to them but to all or any of the sentimental beings who have been our mothers during past lives. This practice is compelling in dealing with any upheaval we would need for the mother of our present life. 14) Meditation on our bodies' impurity - This meditation is specifically designed to combat our lust and seek sexual encounters. Traditionally, the Buddha taught celibacy to monks to curb their sexual impulses and to keep their minds on the task of one-pointed meditation and to reach nirvana. This meditation passes through all parts of the body. Overall, this is a beautiful macro description, so we can accept how the physical body is formed (such as blood, skin, pus, and hair). We should not be in such a hurry to increase physical beauty and can see the human form in a more balanced way. 15) Deity Dhyana - Vajrayana Buddhism (also known as Tibetan Buddhism)

and many Mahayana Buddhist schools suffer from disturbances of deity meditation practices. These sometimes include imagining the deity as an outsider whom we would request to bless. But essential transformational meditations are those where you visualize yourself as the deity. Then, like them, recite their mantras, and meditate on the spiritual qualities they possess (immeasurable compassion and wisdom), through the facility of imagining oneself. Since the 'end result' - is an existence that is already enlightened – it can help us to develop those qualities and we are available to flourish rapidly. These meditations also help free us from clinging to ourselves because we are not identifying our ordinary, egoistic self, but those who are endowed with enlightened qualities. There are many different deity meditation practices, and every school has ways that they support the most, so it is impossible to list them all. But below, I have listed several common deity practices found in most Vajrayana Buddhist schools and some of their specific purposes. Green Tara - Seen because of the female embodiment of all Buddha's enlightenment-focuses on the mother who removes all fear. Chenrezig (4 or 1,000 armed) - Buddha of compassion. Paying attention to all sentimental beings without any discrimination increases our understanding. In female form, he appears as Quan Yin, especially in Chinese Buddhist schools. Healing Buddha - Meditating on our form and mantra increases our compassion and can bring us to healing. Vajrasattva - Considered to be superior in all practices to help purify our negative karma. White Tara - He is another type of Tara. However, his focus is specifically to extend our lifespan to still practice religion and help others.

Yoga Meditation Meditation can be a process, which results in a successful turning of the mind and a firm belief that the reason is a higher and more satisfying one than our own. People generally need to come to a dead-end in their look for happiness and redress in the mental and sensual realm for the beginning of meditation. Meditation is not separate from life. It cannot be expected to estimate it directly. It is the culmination of a pure and sattvic life. It is best to leave all expectations within meditation and keep yourself open and stable. Attempts to withdraw the senses and settle the mind often led to meditation. These are the 4th and 5th stages on the Raja Yoga ladder. The reflection is that if you do not meditate yet on the 7th, plan to remain calm, withdraw the senses and concentrate the mind. This is often already extremely helpful. Asanas and pranayama exercises are 3 and 4 steps towards meditation. Steady meditation postures and breath regulation help a lot in calming the mind. Meditation requires a lot of depths and mental concentration. A regular lifestyle is useful for the preservation of life for internal discovery and attainment. This lesson explains deeply about the way we use our vital energy. A diseased person with less life has more difficulty gathering the rays of the mind and has enough energy to meditate. At that point, it is useful to rest in prayer. A habitual practice of chanting, repetition of mantras, and meditation keeps the mind fit. Mantras give life to the mind and provide a message directly concerning pure ethereal energy. Success in meditation is seen in mental strength and quietness in lifestyle, not experiencing spectacular mental events. Important realization: Counting on the guna and therefore the person, meditation can lead the person to supreme devotion to religion or conviction in any form or name, which is truth or light beyond one's darkness or illusion.

Help Dhyani to connect safely and with full divine love in the whole spirit. Bhakti Yoga is an approach to emotional energy and communicability, humility, and self-surrender, which is essential for a meditating person's mental concentration and mental balance. Meditation cannot be just one way, separate from love and devotion. Also, meditation is not a vague imagination, seeing things, flying within the air, astral travel, browsing the walls, reading people's thoughts. The only goal of meditation is to realize mental peace and balance. Meditation is not opening yourself or to all subtle influences. Meditation is not building a palace within the air; meditation does not flow during a dream state. Attention is not expected of any kind. Attention is not "vacancy out" and relinquishing one's responsibilities. This text deals in detail with yogic guidelines permanently. Meditation is not an escape into an inner world, disconnecting with others, and isolating oneself. This is often an essential point because people resort to meditation to escape pain in the world of imperfections without doing anything to bring back balance and purity of mind. Therefore, meditation can serve others, forgive others, and open the heart to liking and compassion for oneself. Meditation is more comfortable with Karma Yoga. Meditation is not forsaking one's intellect. It uses intelligence to understand the difference between illusion and reality and eventually goes beyond limited intelligence to tap into the innate source of data. Meditation cannot support fear or desires. There is a need to face courage and faith and knowledge of the unknown and moving new areas of the mind. This text talks about transforming fear into courage and confidence. The mind should be healthy and powerful to meditate. A restless, deranged, and fearful mind should not meditate. Before attempting profound meditation, it is better to resort to asana and pranayama and seek medical counseling to defeat the mind's negative tendencies. Sitting regularly, trying to calm the mind, is already helpful.

Self-scrutiny and self-awareness, the regular habit of observing one's thoughts, are removing stones within the process of meditation. If a person is not trying to separate himself from the mind, then he cannot concentrate. Knowing that the reason is not its own and detaching from the mind's activities is already a considerable step in meditation. Small daily steps are already significant for regulating the lower brain and exercising the upper brain. Self-awareness can be a stepping stone to meditation, a step to merge with the background and consciousness within. Self-awareness begins with the purification of thoughts (thinking correctly or nurturing sattvic thoughts and nutritious food) and decreasing mental activity (meaning increasing concentration on the divine). This lesson talks about self-awareness and intuition. Self is usually there; it is a mental disturbance that prevents us from seeing ourselves. Meditation Technique Protocol The meditation technique is simple. The instructions were clear and unambiguous. Not many words or leading people on a fantasy journey. Meditation of 10-15 minutes daily can be a good start. Extend to half an hour, twice every day. Place: Clean, quiet, airy. Time: 4-8 am or 4 pm or awake long ago. Asana: Cross-legged, comfortable back and neck straight. Use props or pillows to raise the buttocks to help keep the spine straight. Those unable to cross a down-legged seat sit on the chair with both feet on the ground or cross legs. Hands touch the knees, thumbs, and index finger in "chin posture," palms upward or knees downward, hands slightly bent or straight. It is better not to rest on the back of the chair or against the wall. Sit independently. Eyes closed. Turning inward for the selected length of your time, allow the body to remain stationary and relaxed.

First, three long breaths bring more oxygen to the brain and three long breaths to completely relax and release the day. If there is more tension, then exhale longer than inhalation. Next is controlling the breath for a count of three - ohm 1 - ohm 2 - ohm 3. Inhalation and exhalation are the same lengths. It can help in the regulation of life and think. Then as you sit still, the breathing can automatically be interrupted further to an invisible rhythm, where the breath barely comes out of the nostril, and one feels amazingly comfortable. This often occurs when the mind leaves the external physical reality to settle within the inner state of meditation: the object of reflection between the eyebrows or the point. These are subtle high energy centers. To get one's attention, one must follow one's habits. Stay in one place. Because Prana's primary goal can be to lead Prana to the Sushumna, and therefore the upward movement of energy through different consciousness and perception levels. It is not within the dual state of being emotional or being intellectual. We do not focus on the lower chakras. Purpose of meditation: The mantra Om is that universal sound of unity and creation. It is often employed by all. Suppose the scholar wants to use a personal mantra. In that case, the teacher should guide him to locate the Ishtar deity, then the mantra can correspond to Ishta. This is a rigorous practice of concentration on the mantra, specifically to cause one-frame of mind. Devotion helps in concentration. The mental repetition of the mantra should be coordinated with the breath. The mantra should be part of the breath. Mental repetition is more potent than oral repetition. Practice: If the mind wanders, retreat from the thought (or breakaway) and slowly bring it back to meditation, that is, the breath and hence the mantra. If there is confusion between breath and mantra, then concentrate on the mantra. After some time, the mind can freeze, and so the mind enters deep within—a lighter and more extended feeling. At no point should you force the method, but rather surrender the technique. Eventually, the thoughts are purified, the barrenness of the meaning begins. However, it only means that the mind is cut off, and hence the ego has taken

over the reason. Continue the method without any expectations. Come out of your meditation after a certain period. Do not attempt to cross the border because the mind can rebel and may sit back. It is better to go with some interest within reason and start once again with enthusiasm in the subsequent session. Still, you should purify the mind in lifestyle. The more the motivation is pure, the simpler and faster the method of meditation. The words I want to meditate on are the meditator, the thing of meditation. Therefore, the process of reflection becomes one. Intellectual thought and, therefore, the process of thought becomes one. Lover, beloved, and thus love becomes one. Meditation, A mediator should have a unified experience focused on himself or herself. Voice tone needs to be warm, neutral, directive, transparent, facilitating focus and quietness, prompting inner travel. Life is communicated within the speech. Fewer words and exact words are better. Benefits of are essential to reminding the beginner/meditator of the benefits of meditation to continue the practice. It is better to be conservative and start slowly; practice routine is more important. Increase the length of meditation in proportion to purification and quietness of the mind. Look at diet and hence activities/lifestyles. The increasing sentiment is essential. Meditation helps to bring one here and now. Meditation helps reduce the subconscious, as it removes many impressions of the past, rites, addictions, and habits. Meditation can bring self-awareness, develop consciousness, and rational intelligence. Meditation can develop innate faculties, which is an inner knowledge and sensation of right and wrong. Meditation brings clarity to mind. Meditation calms emotions and opens courage for forgiveness and love. Meditation fixes relationships. Meditation is entirely safe and full of divine love. Meditation connects one with the authentic, perfect, and secure self, the inner

consciousness, and thus releases tensions, anxieties and recharges oneself with new faith and love. Meditation reduces heart rate, improves the body, corrects the body and mind.

Chakra Meditation Chakra Meditation Chakra is on the rise - a surprising number of individuals visit it monthly on Google. Interestingly, it is at the forefront of the most significant discoveries after Australia, Canada, India, America, and Britain, so what on Earth is it? And what can it do for you that other types of meditation cannot? For starters, you may want to understand the basics of the cycle. You can then learn how to use your chakras to increase concentration, spice tension, and energy levels. We called Amy Lou Knowles, a healer and an intuitive life coach, to share her step-by-step guide to meditation. For chakra meditation it helps to understand what the chakras are. "They are points of energy on the surface of our bodies," Knowles explains. "These points rotate like vortices, drawing external or 'universal' energies to our most internal points, to align, balance, and smooth the physical, spiritual, and mental systems in the body." Medical Esthetician and Spiritual Healer Mashel told us what the chakras are and where they are located on the body.

It is truly a personal practice, but I can say that you should expect enhanced methods of satisfaction, peace, and energy. You should sleep better, and your spirit should be more closely related. Carpenter's Kit -Think about your chakras. You have got to keep your tools sharp and to the best of your ability to the point. In life, when a harmful or adverse event occurs, these points are regularly off balance. By performing, you can quickly draw on the tool that is most appropriate. " So how do I do chakra cultivation? "It really depends on the person and changes the focus with each seating," says Knowles. “If you are a visible person, I can use the colors related to each chakra as the focus. It is easy for others to lay hands on each point so that they can feel how they feel and focus on these points, guiding meditation. " Remember that meditation does not necessarily require closed eyes; but it is often used as a way to melt the mind and help you focus, for example, candle meditation. If you continue to close the eyes at the top of the practice and look at the open eyes, you can view the chakra points. Before you and you, as an expert at each end of view, align it on your body for the purpose that the crown is performing from the base. Once you reach the top, I can recommend closing your eyes. If audio is more for you. Guided chakra meditation is happy, and they can often use the footage as the only name that not every expression of the event and inform the color as you progress, "explains Knowles. Any consideration together, you can perform. It is done daily or weekly, aiming for about 20 minutes whenever. Knowles says, "There are two types of chakra meditation I can recommend." Sit on the ground (my favorite position) or lie flat and start what your breath is expert at. She says, "Close your eyes to close your eyes." Then I can bring your attention (in your mind's eye) to the primary chakra point: down, which is your relation to the world. I can ask that it be shown to be the best way for me (or you!); maybe the color we are taught is related to it, be it a logo or a word.

Then I can begin to specialize in the wheel itself - imagining spinning a wheel; look at the direction of its flow, in the sun, in shape, in space, just observing and believing. mine See the breath as light - the glow of the chakra. (That is, the clearer; the brighter and more vivid, the higher the mind can try to convey that it is working, but it is.) Now start watching it rotating clockwise; Feel its heat or coolness. Every breath sent to expand and purify can be a powerful source. "Now you progress and repeat at each point, working your high and up. There is no hurry - each cycle is personal. Remember that some can require more love on different days. As crowns reach the chakra, allow yourself to go back into your mind's eye and see your entire body. Scan the body as the whole - is everything open and aligned? Breathe in at every point, then your breath. Let the maneuver from the crown cycle down to the bottom and copy again; it appears delightful, as here you have found your flow. "Remember, trust your gut - you can instinctively know where you are most of the time. Some points can expand with ease, et al. Are going to be more resistant, so this is where you come next time. This is important to watch because whenever you notice that you are meditating how you are different from the day, from the week, from the month. This is often how you measure your results. "The second option is perfect if you want to specialize in a selected area where you want to focus emotionally, which correlates with that," she shares. “You really want to focus your efforts and start by specializing as an expert on that cycle. For example, let us expand our voice. Here you must address your throat chakra. You can start as before, but your attention can come to the throat (the space outside your body instead of your tonsils!). Then you can imagine the charkha and extension with every breath, and you can add a mantra here: 'I am ready to release all that binds me, I allow myself to center and flow.'

Breathing yoga Technique Therefore, the very essence of life is the very first thing once we enter this world, and the last item, once we depart. In between, our bodies absorb about half a billion breaths. Apart from maintaining life, mind, body, and breath are so intensely connected that they deeply affect each other. The way we breathe is influenced by our state of mind. Our thoughts and physiology are often affected by our breathing. Deep breathing advocated in advanced yoga training can have a positive effect on both our body and mind. For thousands of years, yoga and Ayurveda have employed respiratory techniques (pranayama) to balance and restore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This leads to many physiological benefits achieved through the control of respiration. The benefits of a regular, deep yoga breathing routine practice include: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Muscle relaxant Increased energy levels Helps lessen Anxiety, depression, and stress Reduce/ stabilize vital signs

Regulating your breath - The yoga route is both systematic nervosum and calming. It is also the most straightforward breathing exercise for which an overlapping mind can be a time-bound breathing method where breathing is more prolonged than inhalation. It lowers the tone of your sympathetic system nervous system (fight or flight response) while activating your parasympathetic systema nervosum (rest and digestive response). Doing this method for at least five minutes can make a difference in your overall mood. Anyone can do this exercise without consulting a teacher. Techniques of Pranayama Apart from the practice of deep natural breathing, ancient yogis have different types of rhythmic deep breathing techniques, which have other

effects on the mind and body. Each of those breathing techniques has a specific impact on the continuity of the mind-body. Please limit the mind that you should simply learn after-breath techniques from a professional teacher, who can be ready to guide you to practice, what percentage, and help you during your time. Within the Yoga Pradipika, one of Yoga's oldest texts, it has been said: “All diseases are eradicated by the correct practice of pranayama. All conditions can be affected by an improper method. The lungs, heart, and nerves are generally healthy and gain strength with regulated and appropriate pranayama, but are weakened by improper exercise. Unfair and excessive practice can lead to an exaggeration of a person's mental insanity and even nervousness. Every procedure should be done with respect and caution. Therefore, guidance must be sought. The Yoga Chudamani Upanishad states: “Just as lions, elephants, and tigers are brought into check slowly and continuously, PRANA must be controlled. Otherwise, it becomes disastrous for the physician. 1 . Breathing with pulse correction or alternating nostrils is yoga practice that immediately helps you feel calm whenever you feel anxious or excited. Inhale deeply through your left nostril while holding your right nostril closed together with your right thumb. As a result, switch the nostril apart by isolating your left nostril and exhaling smoothly through your right nostril. After exhaling completely, continue breathing through the appropriate nostril, again locking it at the height of your breath. With the left nostril, raise your finger and exhale completely. Continue your breathing alternately through each nostril and practice for 3 to five minutes. Ensure your breathing is easy, and your mind slowly concentrates on the inflow and outflow of breath. The above description may be a variant of the onset of alternate nostril breathing. More advanced versions also include regulated breathing on a particular calculation for inhalation and exhalation. The Rajadhiraja system of Pranayama is a highly advanced practice, which combines alternating nostril breathing with the expert in a particular cycle while repeating a mantra. It is taught only in person, so please email us for

those wanting to learn more. 2. Ujjayi or Ocean Breath old pranayama can help calm your mind when you feel irritated, frustrated, or angry. Inhale a little deeper than average. Close your mouth and breathe through your nose and constrict the muscles of your throat. If done correctly, it can look like the waves of the sea. You can also do this exercise by opening your mouth and exhaling together to "haaaaah." Attempt to make a similar sound by closing the mouth, with the air's outflow through its nasal passage. With some practice, you can use a similar method while breathing, inhaling into your throat slowly. However, once ujjayi is practiced as described above, daily ujjayi should be prescribed by a teacher and given when the Sushumna pulse is adequately cleaned. Hence it is required to do this practice under the guidance of a teacher. It is cooling but exerts a heating effect, stimulating the method of oxidation. It is contraindicated for less vital signs. The deep breathing pranayama techniques listed above are designed to improve the amount of energy within the body. Through regular practice, you can soon start breathing more effectively without any conscious effort. 3. Shiatili Kumbhaka or cold breath bend Close your mouth, hold your breath to the count of eight and then exhale through the nose. Continue for eight breaths, up to a maximum of eight minutes. After this, you massage the diseased area of the body (prescribed in yoga therapy). This method's benefits include reduced bile (heat) within regions of the head, neck, and upper body. It is contraindicated only in the case of asthma, bronchitis, and chronic constipation. 4. Sitkari Kumbhaka or hissing breath. This practice has a similar root effect as the Shili method. Inhale through the nose, hold your breath for eight seconds, and exhale through the mouth, rest your teeth on your tongue and produce sound SSS. Also, for low bile,

benefits include purification of the senses. The differences are like those of Shiatsu. The practice of Shitali and Sitkari for 1 hour before and after Pranayama's practice associated with one's meditation should be avoided. It is usually best to practice only one Pranayama technique at a time. 5. The Brahmari or chanting breath This corresponds to the breath Ujjayini (detailed above), and through the exhalation, a beehive sound is made. The humming leads to a resonating vibration within the head and heart. Ten deep breaths are required in this way, then while exhaling, take one and ten deep cosmic breaths, closing both ears. This helps to significantly increase the resonance effect and the resulting gain. This method helps to balance Vata (circulation or flow) as well as raises awareness both mentally and emotionally. Additionally, it is being practiced with Yoni Mudra (as taught by a teacher). Never practice this method by lying on your back. It is to be practiced by sitting in an upright position.

6. Bhastrika or blower A word of caution: This practice should be done only under supervision. Close the right nostril and inhale through the left nostril like a twenty-sharp blower. Breathe with twenty more blowers while keeping the left nostril closed. Twenty blowers are required to breathe through both nostrils. This method helps to attract prana (life force) to the body and brain, thus removing mental, emotional, and physical barriers. 7.Sun penetrating or solar breathing Like pulse correction, inhale through the right nostril, and exhale through the left. Repeat this for at least six breaths and a maximum of ten minutes. Benefits include heating and warming breathing, which helps to balance Vata within the body. It is contraindicated in people with a heart condition, high

blood pressure, epilepsy, hyperthyroidism, peptic ulcers, and acidity. 8.Lunar penetration or lunar Maintain breathing through the left nostril and the breath through at least six breaths and for a maximum of ten minutes. This cold breathing process helps reduce bile. It should not be practiced by people who suffer from depression, who have mental disturbances, excess mucus, and sluggish digestion. 9. Active yogic breathing Practice by taking long, slow, and deep breaths in and out of your nose as you walk at a moderate pace. As you walk, try to breathe and exhale. Keep counting the steps during each complete inhalation and exhalation. Ten degrees or more are required for every breath and exhalation. This method combines the calming effect of breathing with a vibrant lifestyle. The process of thinking and feeling is both voluntary and involuntary because it is an act of respiration. Pranayama (control of prana shakti) is often achieved through control of the respiratory process. Advanced yoga breathing practice benefits various body systems, improving circulation, and enhancing multiple organs' performance.

Benefits The basis of all deep breathing methods arises within the science of yoga, specifically the fourth part of yoga, called pranayama. The word Pranayama is one of two Sanskrit words. Although there are different definitions of the word, one interpretation is: prana (prana shakti) and Ayama (expansion), or expanding vital force using the breath. Traditional yogis learned that by

controlling the breath, you can influence every aspect of your life. Suppose you have ever caught yourself sighing on top of an extended day. In that case, this is often an example of a natural way to relieve body stress. The more you are conscious of the breath's comfort, the more you can enjoy its many physical and emotional benefits. Researchers have documented the benefits of a daily practice of natural, deep breathing, including: ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

Low anxiety and depression Stabilizes vital signs Higher energy levels Improved immunity Reduces feelings of stress Reduces PTS symptoms

There is an increasing appreciation for the positive effect of the medicine that deep breathing can have on physiology, both within the mind and body. Consistent with research, many of those deep-breathing benefits are often attributed to reducing the body's stress response. To find out how this works, let us examine the stress response in additional detail. Pranayama as a tool to counter stress When you experience stressful thoughts, your sympathetic nervous system triggers the nervous system's ancient fight-or-flight response to the body by bursting with energy to respond to a perceived threat. Your breath becomes shallow and fast, and you breathe primarily from the chest and not the lower part of the lungs. This can make you feel the need to flee, which can be a common symptom of feeling anxious or frustrated. At the same time, your body increases hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine (also known as adrenaline), which increase your vital signs and pulse and puts you in a modified state of high alert. With deep breathing, you can immediately reverse these symptoms and create a path of peace in your mind and body. Once you breathe deeply and slowly, you activate the parasympathetic systema nervosum, which reverses your

body's stress response. Deep breathing stimulates the most nerves within the parasympathetic nervous system — the vagus nerve — slows your pulse, reduces your vital signs, and calms your body and mind. With deep breathing, you engage the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm instead of the upper chest and neck muscles. This conditioning of the respiratory muscles improves oxygen exchange efficiency with each breath by allowing more air exchange within the lower lungs. It also reduces stretch on the powers of the neck and upper chest, which relaxes these muscles. In short, deep breathing is more comfortable and efficient, leading to higher oxygen levels in the body's cells and tissues. Deep Breathing Techniques Beyond the practice of deep, deep breathing, traditional yogis have described various types of rhythmic deep breathing techniques that can affect the mind and body. In fact, several studies have documented the beneficial effects of yoga for treating depression, anxiety, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and asthma. Some theories support the notion that you can improve your longevity by slowing down and controlling the breath. There are several types of breathing techniques, each of which has a selected effect on the body's physiology. The following are five simple yoga breathing techniques to help you. Confirm you are sitting in a comfortable position with your spine straight. If at any point you start feeling dizzy or uncomfortable, be sure to stop before starting again, or just stop and check back later. 1. Belly breath This is the central breathing technique often used in yoga classes. It helps in bringing awareness to the body and calms the mind. If you are new to doing pranayama, initially, it helps to lie down and bend the knees if needed so that the abdominal muscles feel tangled. Once you are diligent in practicing, you can continue in a sitting position. Place one hand on your stomach.

While drawing air towards your lower abdomen, take a deep breath through your nose. Feel the stomach expand, and exhale through the nose and feel the stomach contract. The hand on your stomach should move downward in its original position. The breath should be deep and long. Every day or whenever you are feeling stressed, then practice this system for 3 to five minutes. 2. The complete breath This is understood as Daroga Pranayama. Durga means "long" in Sanskrit and includes expanding the abdomen, chest, and neck area. This breathing helps calm the mind and develop deep awareness. While lying or sitting, place one hand on your stomach and the other on your upper chest. Inhale slowly and deeply through the nose, drawing air into the lower abdomen and pelvic area, feeling your hand with the core. Continue breathing, extending the skeletal structure outward as the middle part of the torso becomes busy. Finally, draw air into the upper chest and allow the collar bones to rise. Feel the arm grow along the trunk. At the height of inhalation, stop for a flash, then exhale slowly in reverse order, releasing the upper chest first, then the diaphragm and ribs, and finally the lower abdomen. Shrink the abdominal muscles slightly to get the residual air out from under your lungs. After some practice, it should begin to resemble a light wave motion. Do a couple rounds, then notice how you are feeling. 3. Alternate nostril breathing When you feel anxious or unclean, practice alternate nostril breathing, which is called pulse healing within the yogic tradition. This can immediately help

you feel calm. Hold your right thumb over your right nostril and inhale deeply through your left nostril. At the height of your trachea, close your left nostril together with your fourth finger, raise your right thumb, then exhale quickly through your right nostril. After exhaling fully, inhale through the right nostril, locking it with your right thumb at the height of your inhalation, raising your fourth finger, and exhaling effortlessly with your left nostril. Continue with this exercise for 3 to five minutes, alternating your breathing through each nostril. Your breathing should be smooth, with your mind slowly observing the flow and outflow of breath.

4. Ocean's Breath When you feel angry, irritated, or frustrated, try Ocean's Breath, or Ujjayi (pronounced oo-Jai). It can instantly calm and settle your mind. Take a breath that is slightly deeper than average. With your mouth closed, your throat muscles constrict, and exhale through your nose. If you are doing it correctly, it should sound like the waves of the sea. Another way to urge the hang of this practice is to open your mouth as well as let out the sound "haha." Now make a similar sound by closing your mouth, feeling the outflow of air through your nasal passage. Once you have mastered this outflow, use a similar method to exhale, slowly stopping your throat as you inhale. Continue for 3 to five minutes or however long it feels comfortable. 5. Energizing Breath When you are feeling blue or gloomy, try Energetic Breath, Energizing Breath, or Bhastrika. It can offer you an instant boost of energy and can strengthen your mind.

Start by relaxing your shoulders and take deep, full breaths from your stomach. Now start exhaling loudly through your nose, then take forceful, deep breaths at a speed of 1 second per cycle. Your breath is entirely through your diaphragm, keeping your head, neck, shoulders, and chest relatively stable while your abdomen is going in and out. Start with a circle of 10 breaths, then breathe naturally and see the excitement in your body. After 15 to 30 seconds, begin the subsequent round with 20 breaths. Finally, after stopping for an additional 30 seconds, complete the third round of 30 breaths. Beginners may need to rest between rounds.

Hindu Mythology on Yoga Meditation Originating in India, Hinduism is the lowest since the last 5,000 years. Although current research has characterized the existence of Hinduism from various archaeological and literary sources, its beginnings, developments, and such advances in the depths of your time, remain unclear. Whether Hinduism is evaluated as a belief, unlike many other world religions, Hinduism lacks a representative founder or prophet. Therefore, most Hindus consider it a way of life. The Core Beliefs Hinduism, in its original philosophy, holds that God is complete, formless, and referred to only as Brahma, the supreme-universal soul. Brahman is equal with the universe and everything in it; it has no form nor limit; This is the

reality and therefore the ultimate truth. Hinduism has three significant beliefs: rebirth and reincarnation, karma (kismet), and dharma (righteousness). Initially, the first goal of Hinduism is to attain 'Moksha' from the cycle of rebirth. On the one hand, Hinduism can be a secular religion: it recognizes God from the universe, and people are only manifestations. In contrast, Hinduism is additionally polytheistic because it is populated with innumerable deities. As a prominent Hindu saint, Sri Ramakrishna once wrote, "Often there are many Hindu Gods like devotees to conform to the devotees' moods, feelings, emotions, and social backgrounds." The vast variety of deities allows the aspirant to draw upon and draw upon a specific deity's symbolic power when needed under particular life circumstances. Below can be a list of 8 Hindu deities that you would usually encounter within the modern yoga world today: 1.Vishnu President Vishnu The deity additionally known as a divine mediator. Symbolically, Lord Vishnu represents justice and moral order. After creation, Vishnu preserves the universe and follows many of its laws. If you want security, patience, knowledge, or prosperity, you can likely replace Vishnu. 2. Shiva The deity of both protector and destroyer, Lord Shiva, can be powerful and is widely worshiped for his powerful destructive energy. Shiva is married to Parvati, also known as Shakti, with whom he has two sons: Ganesha, the redress of all obstacles; and Skanda, the god of war. Shiva says how great destruction precedes new opportunities. You can probably replace Shiva as a source of inspiration because you realize a goal or experience difficulties in life. There are many mantras to recite to Lord Shiva, one of which is Om Namah Shivaya.

3. Brahma's Creation Brahma is the God and the creator of the planet and every living being. Lord Brahma also represents the source of the universal mind in the form of intelligence. Brahma is the least worshiped deity in Hinduism today. There are currently only two temples in India dedicated to him - one in Pushkar and the other in Kerala. One explanation of why Brahma is not worshiped as much is Brahma's role as the creator is over. It is left to Vishnu to preserve the planet and Shiva to continue the path of rebirth to the universe. Trimurti (Trimurti) of the gods Trimurti Refers to the phrase "having three forms," which refers to the three main Hindu deities mentioned above: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Initially, Trimurti was worshiped as one entity - Ishwar. Later, the three Gods were separated and asserted over their own individualism. It is generally believed that these three forms represent the earth (Brahma), water (Vishnu), and Agni (Shiva). 4. Kali Powerful yet widely misunderstood, mother Kali is the goddess of death, time, and holocaust. Despite her immense destructive power, she can be a strong mother-figure and a symbol of kindness-love. Kali is claimed to relieve our attachment to the body to confirm that the body may be in a temporary state. During one sense, Kali bestows liberation by removing the illusion of ego. 5.Laxmi To Hindus, Goddess Lakshmi symbolizes prosperity, fertility, purity, generosity, and hence beauty. Known as the daughter of Mother Durga and thus Vishnu's wife, Lakshmi is a crucial household deity, and her presence is found in almost every household. In the statues and other artwork, Lakshmi is usually depicted as a gorgeous woman with four hands, sitting on a fullybloomed lotus and holding a lotus bud. Her four hands symbolize the four ends of human life: religion or righteousness, deeds or desires, meaning or wealth, and salvation or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

6.Saraswati Data and humanities represent the free flow of knowledge and consciousness. Saraswati is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. He has four hands, representing four aspects of the human personality in learning: mind, intelligence, vigilance, and ego. You can invoke Saraswati for the convenience of speech, knowledge, and learning. 7. Ganesha An extremely popular deity within the modern yoga world, the elephantheaded god Ganesha is one of the most important deities in Hinduism. The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is the master of success and therefore removes all obstacles. He is usually worshiped because he is the god of education, knowledge, and wealth. Ganesha's head symbolizes the eternal soul (Atma), while his body symbolizes illusion within the material world (Maya). You can invoke Ganesh to cover and remove any obstacle that comes your way. 8. Hanuman The mighty monkey god Hanuman is the ultimate image of religion and devotion. The story of Hanuman is within the epic Ramayana — during which he had a mission to locate Sita, Rama's wife, who was captured by the demon king of Lanka. It allows readers to face unfavorable conditions and blockages along the way to the planet. It is deemed to induce to overcome. Hanuman's strong character serves as a metaphor for unlimited power within Hinduism that is untapped within every human. In times of doubt and great difficulties, you can invoke Hanuman for physical strength, perseverance, and devotion. The classical texts of Hindu literature have a fantastic description of yoga's mythology within these three enchanted Hindu myths about the experiences of mythological gods and deities. The philosophy behind these stories inspires spiritual growth, enlightenment, and self-development, while asanas, or yoga poses, are supporting a healthy body and mind. Allow these colorful

legends about the Warrior Sequence, Monkey Pose, and therefore the Lord of the Dance to create new life and goals for your practice. Once in ancient India, an unconventional young god named Shiva became intimate with Sati's passionate girl. Sati's father, Daksha, was a staunch, arrogant man and fiercely opposed his daughter's choice. Defying him, Shiva and Sati married during a romantic ceremony. They lived among the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. To encourage him, Daksha held a grand and lavish ceremony at his palace, which was made with lush melodies of Vedic chants, fragrant garlands of jasmine, and sumptuous delicacies with the most delicate spices. He invited dignitaries, royalty, nearby deities, and many more, but deliberately excluded Shiva and Sati. Shiva was indifferent to his father-in-law's antithesis and was not interested in the event. But Sati is determined to win her father's honor, insisting on being present without calling for participation. Unfortunately, she only went to the ceremony to cope with the tide of humiliating insults and humiliation from Daksha. Overwhelmed by anguish, shame, and anguish, she resolved not to belong to the mortal body given to her by her father. She sat down, breathed deep within herself, and began to practice fierce yoga-breathing, which ignited her inner fire and engulfed her body in flames. Devastated and enraged by the news of Sati's tragic death, Shiva rips off his hair and makes Virabhadra, an avid warrior who carries terrifying weapons and embellishes her body with snakes and skulls. Virabhadra headed down towards the ceremony. Once there, he breaks from the world holding his sword above his head (Warrior I) and meets Daksha's frightened gaze. Then he took his target (Warrior II) and brought his sword into a deadly war (Warrior III). Although the story sounds dramatically violent and has much to do with the inner peace and calm that yoga promotes, the underlying message is critical. Lord Shiva represents the Upper Self; Sati represents the heart; And Daksha expresses anger, impatience, malfeasance, arrogance like ego, and its effects.

As people, we all fight a spiritual battle with our egos. Therefore, the practice of Warrior Sequence is the practice of resolving, controlling, and conquering those negative vibrations based on our pure hearts. Hanuman asana (monkey pose) From deep within the Dandak forest, King Rama's wife, Rani Sita, was kidnapped by an evil demon and brought to Lanka's island on a flying chariot. Enraged, King Rama gathered his troops and carried out a daring rescue mission. He invoked his most loyal devotee Hanuman - a demonic creature who was part man, part monkey - to move forward first, find Queen Sita, and distribute a precious ring to assure her that her beloved husband was on his way and would save her. Hanuman raced to the south of India with unwavering loyalty and dedication to his king, but suddenly came to the fore with the impossible vastness of the sea. Doubting his own abilities, he fell to his knees and prayed that he would somehow find a means to succeed in the time of Queen Sita. His prayers were answered, and Hanuman was suddenly rejuvenated with unwavering faith and a determination to carry out his mission. He moved forward and upward with one leg and with the strength of his other leg inspired him to make a decisive leap back into the sea, and landed on the tropical shores of Lanka. Without a moment's hesitation, he advanced through the thick palm trees and lost hope of rescuing the very distressed Queen Sita forever. But they gifted him the ring from Raja Rama and for once alleviated his worries. Thus, Hanuman asana symbolizes bravery, devotion, and physical strength within self-doubt and fear of the unknown. This is truly an exciting leap of religion.

Nataraja Sana (Lord of Dance) In the magnificent forests of South India, Lord Shiva the Destroyer disguised

himself as a farmer and encountered a group of sages who were entangled in questionable practices. The sages challenged him. Within an argument, they began to fight Shiva with the weapons of ferocious animals and deadly serpents. Eventually, a demonic dwarf, representing the double faults of ignorance and arrogance, was sent to challenge Shiva in battle. Lord Shiva simply smiled and gracefully transformed into the shape of Shiva Nataraja, surrounded by a fiery cosmic ring depicting the cycles of birth, life, death, and rebirth. With strands of wild, unclaimed hair around his head, decorative ornaments adorning his body, and 4 impressive weapons, he begins to destroy the dance. He balanced a drum whose beats symbolized creation in one hand; a flame of destruction within the other hand; the posture of liberation within the third; and finally, the pose of fearlessness within the fourth hand. Shiva then crushed the arrogant dwarf with one leg and lifted the opposite leg during a show of grace amidst the chaos. The posture of Natarajasana reflects the fact that a relaxed and stable demeanor is usually more potent than the foolish and superficial view of ignorance and arrogance. It nurtures self-control, self-mastery, humility, poetry, class, and contentment through life’s ups and downs. When we say the word "yoga," most people on Earth only consider asanas. Of all the various things that explore yoga's science - almost every aspect of life - today's world has chosen to represent yoga only with the physical part. Within the yogic system, asanas have been given little or no importance. For a touch of more than 2 hundred yoga sutras, just one sutra is devoted to asana. But somehow, in time, this one sutra has gained importance over everything else. In some ways, it is a transparent expression of where the planet goes. The entire journey of the fashionable world is just that, from the most profound dimensions - from the soul - to the body. This is precisely what we would like to reverse. We would like the people to start their journey with the body, but move towards their inner nature. I cannot be depressed, or else the way yoga is being practiced all over the world will cause me to become depressed, and others are wondering what it

is. As you see it practiced - it is mechanics, just the body. You have got to breathe life into it. Otherwise, it would not have survived. This is often why traditionally, there has been so much stress on the living guru - to make it alive. There may be a subtle manipulation of your system to allow the yogic system to grow to a particular level. Yoga indicates it can enable you to achieve a higher nature. Every posture, every posture, every way of breathing - everything - is focused on this. If fitness is what you are looking for, if you want six-pack abs or whatever number, I can play tennis or hike in the mountains. Yoga is not an exercise; it is another dimension that is attached. There is a certain aspect of fitness - yes - you get healthy from it, but not six-pack abs. If you are doing yoga to burn calories or tone your muscles, then obviously you are doing improper yoga, no doubt. For abs, you can go to the gym. Yoga should be practiced in a very subtle, gentle manner, not during powerful muscle-building, as it is often not about exercise. The human body has a complete memory structure. Suppose you are ready to understand this human body. In that case, everything - how this universe evolved from zero to the present point - is written in this body. Once you do the asana, you are opening up that memory and re-arranging this life towards the last possibility. If yoga is taught correctly, it is an incredible process to transform your system into a great vessel, a fantastic tool for achieving the divine. Although it is being thoroughly practiced in all kinds of manifestations and distortions, the term "yoga" has a minimal worldwide presence. There has never been an organized body to publicize it. However, it is still alive and well because it works like nothing else for human good for the long-term. Millions of people are practicing it, but where does it come from? Who invented yoga? The story is exceptionally long; Its antiquity is lost in the realm of your time. Within Yogic culture, Shiva is not known as God, but as Adiyogi or Primary Yogi - the inventor of Yoga. He was the one who first put this seed in the human mind. The first part of Shiva's education was to his wife, Parvati. The second set of Yoga teachings were given to the primary seven disciples. It happened on the

banks of Kanti Sarovar in Kedarnath. It was here that the world's first yoga program took place. After a few years, when Yogic science's transmission was completed, it produced seven fully enlightened beings - seven famous sages known today as Sapta Rishis. It is worshiped in Indian culture, and He is praised. Shiva placed different aspects of yoga in each of those seven people. These aspects became the seven basic types of yoga. Even today, yoga has maintained these seven distinct forms. The Sapta Rishis were sent to different parts of the planet in seven different directions to hold this dimension. A person can evolve beyond their present limits and compulsions. One traveled to Central Asia, one visited East and North Africa, one traveled to South America, one traveled to Adiyogi, one to the lower regions of the Himalayas, one to East Asia, and one traveled to the Indian subcontinent in the south. Time has devastated many things, but when these lands' cultures are carefully examined, small strands of work are often seen, yet still alive, of those people. It has taken on various colors and forms. It has changed its complexity throughout a million alternative methods, but these varieties can still be seen. Yoga is not something you just do in the morning and evening. This is a unique way of being. Yoga should be developed. If it is morning-evening yoga, then the remaining time is entanglement - it is often not yoga. It is usually just a yoga practice. No aspect of life is excluded from the yogic process. If your life becomes yoga, you can do everything. You can run your family, run the office, run your business, and if there is no way for you to become a yogi, you won’t have any problems. In every aspect of life, either you can use it to confuse yourself or to liberate yourself. If you are using it to confuse yourself, we call it karma. If you are using it to free yourself, we call it yoga.

Motivational Words Yoga is a meeting with one's self. It is time to satisfy your true self and get a round-trip ticket to your true nature for joy and happiness. You can feel naturally happy while doing yoga. Many of us do not realize that they are in a distressed state until it is too late. After understanding the circumstances of my life, I once had an equal conversation with myself. I struggled with a lack of motivation, depression, insomnia, and maintaining my personal relationships, which eventually affected my physical health. Last year, I was struggling with depression and, generally, mental disorders. I always chased after money, a lucrative career, happiness, and success. I was afraid that if I told my colleagues about my psychological issues, they might criticize me. Eventually, it might impede my progress, and I would not be taken seriously. Last winter, my responsibilities in life increased during a short period of time, which caused tons of hysteria. This began to disturb my mood reception, as I was unable to relax and felt inferior. I hated my own egoistic self because I was also an incredibly competitive person. I always thought that I did not have the career of my dreams, and I was not where I wanted to be. It feels like I failed because I could not achieve any of the goals I had set in my life. I decided to share my feelings and emotions with someone who could potentially make things easier on my behalf. I explained my struggles and mental illness to my manager. His response was excellent because he thanked me for being honest, and he introduced me to yoga. I am glad I made this decision because I felt better after sweating in a yoga workshop. Yoga provided me with knowledge of what I was, compared to what I really was. I learned how to embrace my competitive side and use it in a way that inspired me to become a happier person. Yoga taught me that instead of wasting most of my life chasing after success and competing with others, I should let life run its natural course. Happiness and success can come naturally to us.

Yoga helps you improve your meditation through the breathing exercises you are doing during the asana. It relaxes the body and mind to think clearly and build the power to concentrate on time. Yoga focuses on concentration, breathing, and therefore alignment. Additionally, yoga claims to bring mental and physical relaxation by activating the parasympathetic systema nervosum. It is often argued as to why yogis sleep so well at night. No wonder they have such a healthy and stress-free lifestyle. It helps redefine success Real success comes once you use yourself to your full potential. No matter what you become, the only thing that matters is that you live your life to the best of your ability. If you want to succeed, you want to see everything just as it is with no

Yoga relieves your body from almost every physical problem. Yoga increases your blood flow, oxygen level and improves your cardiovascular system. All the asanas of Bikram Yoga help increase the flow of fresh and oxygenated blood into each part of the body and mind. Mindfulness causes you to be present Mindfulness teaches us to be more present at any given moment. It makes us more aware of our inner thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It makes us strong enough to regulate our actions towards situations. Practicing breathing yoga teaches you to experience and live through each moment. Over time, yoga can help you sleep in a more profound sense of fulfillment and inner peace, which can ultimately help you make the appropriate decisions for you and your team. Be aware and positive A yogi keeps a balanced view of life. Meditation, breathing exercises, and meditation yoga sessions can aim to make you more aware. Additionally, it can open new possibilities to understand your true self. The purpose of yoga is to make you a positive person. Therefore the effects of yoga are not limited to relaxation after a workout, but are exceptionally long-lasting. Yoga causes you to gain an attitude of gratitude that helps you identify the bright side of life. To achieve success through yoga, you want changes in your day-to-day life because healthiness can be a necessary requirement to measure a healthy and cheerful and healthy life. Only you can keep yourself healthy.

Even after your first session of meditation, something remarkable happens in your brain. Without being too scientific, all areas of your brain start getting obstructed, which reduces the amount of stimulation and knowledge the brain receives. We are constantly bombarded with the information that each of our senses is learning and feeding it back to the brain. Meditation helps us slow down the knowledge gained to a trickle, which helps us reduce stress, encourage relaxation, and increase meditation and concentration. Motivation So, how can mediation help us stay more motivated in life? Motivation is often defined as a process that directs our behaviors and actions to succeed in a selected outcome. It happens when we read a book for knowledge, once we drink to quench our thirst or start a business to be our own boss. We need a sense of motivation to advance us in life, succeed in our results, push our limits, and step outside our comfort zones to develop mentally and spiritually. 1. Focus . Meditation is one of the best tools to help you stay focused. Using guided meditation can increase your focus more on the selected outcomes in life. It helps us stay motivated to succeed in our results. 2. Concentration . We are constantly bombarded with deflections, which can cause our concentration levels to go down. Mediation helps to keep our concentration levels high. As concentration is intimately linked to motivation, meditation increases our motivation level to succeed in our desired outcomes. 3. Relaxation. We all know there is a feeling of stress, and our brains are running at a speed of 100 mph. Once we are in a state of being alert, it is difficult to relax and ponder one thing at a time. The more you relax, the more you become focused, meaning the more motivated you can be.

4. Reduces stress levels . As we start to relax, we start reducing the stress we feel in our bodies and mind. Have you ever felt that things are building upon you and cannot maneuver further because there is so much to do? This is called stress and is not suitable for your mind or your body. Meditation can slow down your body and mind, keeping your motivation level high. 5. Reducing depression. Disappointment is caused by a feeling of despair, and we think there is no hope in our future. Meditation can be an excellent way to differentiate our thought patterns and break the habit of habitual doom and negative thinking. This can progressively increase our motivation to require action. 6. Increase the state of happiness. Once we are happy, we are confident about ourselves and our abilities, which leads us to succeed in our results in life. Meditation releases more of our 'happiness hormones'. It is often like the snowball effect, and so the little things that we do not get are no longer a problem, and we are more and more confident in our abilities. 7. More talk . Meditation has been associated with large amounts of gray matter within the frontal regions of the hippocampus and brain. The grayer the point is, the more positive feelings we feel. It also affects our emotional stability and gives us a boost during this lifestyle. This helps us stay motivated and more to succeed in our results faster. Meditation is often excellent for removing stress and tension. It also seeks to create emotional and spiritual well-being. Sometimes, though, the reflection looks like a ton of effort and the only thing to suit in an already jam-packed day. You can find inspiration to meditate if you overcome the things that are preventing you from meditating. Then, make meditation the neighborhood of your lifestyle and choose the best meditation type for you. Carefully list explanations of why you are avoiding it. Knowing why you avoid meditating is half the battle to motivate yourself to start. By listing your obstacles, you can begin to deal with them.

Be honest with yourself when making your list. If the critical reason is not "I have no time," then you just do not have the skills to start with. Creating an honest list of reasons can also help you see that you simply do not have as many obstacles as you thought. For example, you would think that you had many obstacles to meditate on, but after writing them down, determine that you have only two or three. Overcome the sensation you simply do not have time for. Part of the motivation to meditate is to realize that you do not need the maximum time as you would think. You can also overcome the obstacle of discovering that you simply do not have time to meditate when it is least likely to be interrupted by people or tasks. If you do not have time to meditate for an hour, otherwise you are easily frustrated, try half an hour. Or ten minutes. An actual moment in meditation is being spent more than an hour, fidgeting and grumbling. Try to pay attention to the last object in the morning or in the dark. At these times, you can probably be the least busy, and it can be easy to be motivated to meditate. Early morning meditation can also help you stay focused throughout the day, and late-night meditation can help you sleep more deeply. Eliminate forgetting it by scheduling meditation. You want to meditate, but just forget to try to do it in your mind with so many other things going on. Simply scheduling it may not motivate you to think; at least, there can be nothing for you to try to do at that time. And since you have nothing to try, why not meditate? Get out your calendar, planner, and write down the time for fixed meditation every day or every few days. Add it to your daily to try to list or set a daily alarm on your mobile device. You want to start scheduling about half an hour for your meditation session and then increasing it over time.

Do not let physical problems stop you. There is no right position to meditate in. Therefore, do not stop meditating just because you have stiff knees, back problems, or other physical problems. If you are feeling physically uncomfortable in one pose, motivate yourself to meditate by trying another position. If you are comfortable, you will be ready to motivate yourself to practice meditation daily! If you are meditating on the ground, try to sit on a pillow, cushion, or mat. You sit up against the wall as you sit. Meditate while sitting in a chair. Sit back in the chair and confirm that you are feeling comfortable before you start meditating. You can also meditate while lying down. Address your fear of failure. You might be afraid that you won’t be 'good' at doing meditation or be prepared to maintain it. But you can motivate yourself to meditate if you remind yourself that there is no such thing as failure in meditation. Or success, indeed. With meditation, you are connected to the method, not your results. Say to yourself, "I can't be good or bad at meditating." I cannot succeed or fail at it. " If you want to consider things in terms of success or failure, consider it a success when you’ve made a plan to concentrate." For example, if you meditate only once or twice at a time, give yourself credit for that! Pay attention to your reasons for not meditating. If you have found other reasons to avoid meditation, analyze them, and work out your solution. Thinking about your reasons can address obstacles in meditating. And just by focusing your thinking on this one subject, you can really meditate. For example, focus your mind on the thought, "I can find how to beat the obstacles that come to bother me." Allow your thoughts and concerns about meditation to flow freely. If they deviate from the topic of meditation, redirect on your thoughts slowly.

You can say to yourself, "I'm thinking about dinner. Let me think more about meditating. " As you think about obstacles, ask yourself," How can I overcome this obstacle? " Give yourself permission to meditate. You may feel whether you can do anything else with your time apart from meditating. But if you treat meditation as love, it can be part of a healthy lifestyle, then you can be more motivated to do it. To eat, sleep, or breathe, you need to be calmer. It is a reflection of who you are. Furthermore, the planet around you — your family, friends, companion animals, even the unfamiliar — deserves to be peaceful for you. "Tell yourself," it requires time to meditate on me. It often takes a community to be healthy. This can help me to be calmer."" Create a focus area. A meditation area can be a place in your home that is dedicated to meditation. You can also tell the rest of the house that the site is off-limits during the days you are using it for meditation. A hardcore place that can help you enjoy it. You can find an inspiration to meditate. Use scented candles, incense sticks, or aromatherapy scent makers to make your meditation area attractive. Add light as part of the enjoyment. Use low-key colored lights or beautiful hanging lights to create an environment to drag you into the current area for "me time." By creating the place where you meditate on a particular area, over time, you can become aware that you are precisely right here because it can be related to peace and reflection. Remind yourself why you would like to meditate. If you want to remind yourself why you want to try it, you can inspire yourself to focus and make it your lifestyle. So, try to keep in mind the positive effects of meditation and your personal reasons for motivating yourself. For example, say to yourself, "One benefit is that it can help me to be more

aware and focused. Then I can do all the tasks that I need to do very quickly! Or you might remind yourself, "Meditation can help me appreciate the time and manage it better. Then I can feel less busy. " Remind yourself if you want to use meditation to fully believe in a selected issue or question. You would probably say, "Meditation is the way I am going to think through this problem." Think about your spiritual and non-secular reasons for your desire to meditate. For example, remind yourself that you only want to contemplate your higher power and be practical. If you feel emotionally or physically upset, you may have some mental or emotional issues that you would like to deal with. Meditation can help. Try Mindfulness Meditation. There are thousands of meditation designs and you can shake it up and find new ways that can stimulate your imagination. Try different meditation types, such as mindfulness, looking for the plan that best matches your lifestyle and motivates you to meditate. Focus on the here and now once you try Mindfulness Meditation. Pay attention to your breathing and the way you are feeling emotionally and physically. For example, believe in each part of your body and the way it feels. Do you feel stressed? Does any part of your body feel relaxed? Do not attempt to push aside or feel anything that you are feeling. Just accept it and see the small print of the sensation. For example, you might think, "I feel impatient." It is affecting my body. "YogaExplore attention. This type of meditation is usually used before or after doing yoga. Some yogis meditate while holding a yoga posture. The physical movement involved before or after the reflection can provide you with the motivation you seek. Try to meditate for a few minutes before or after your yoga session. Find the Kushan yoga posture and meditate while holding the pose. For example, you may want to meditate while in the child position.

Try Zen Meditation. Also called zazen, Zen meditation has its basis in Buddhism and focuses on concentration. During this exercise, consider your breathing and focus on a selected question or idea. You can find that having something specific to meditate on can motivate you to think. Start by sitting and focus on your breathing. Once you learn to concentrate on your breathing, you can start considering counting and just thinking about the numbers. Eventually, you can proceed to focus on a specific Koan or question.

Stories Luke's story I certainly did not start yoga being able to do this. I remember being so stiff and out of shape that it seemed impossible to get into this pose. I repeatedly had upper back injuries and severe pain and knee pain, both of which worsened due to stress and being overweight. When I first started practicing yoga at my hometown gym a good portion of the poses had to be modified due to my injuries and limitations. I was quite awkward, very stiff, and, thinking back, probably laughable. Through constant adjustments and coaching, Brian helped me become more robust and more stable and do more than I ever thought possible. After just one month, I noticed that my posture was better, I had more energy, and I usually felt better. After going to class three to five times per week, I lost 27 pounds and started re-shaping my entire body. I became more robust and more resilient each day, not to mention calmer and more focused in my daily life and yoga practice. Over the next year and a half, I continued to lose inches and build muscle in my hips, shoulders, arms, chest, ribs, abdomen, and

thighs. Through constant practice, my entire body became more assertive, my upper back no longer hurts, and daily stresses do not bother me the way they once did. I like going to yoga, I look forward to it. While many exercise trends, fad, programs come and go, I can see myself doing this for a lifetime. Thanks, Brian! You have changed my life!! Stacey's story On August 8, 2018, I went to my 8-month check-up with my surgeon and received a devastating diagnosis. It was that my condition would probably never improve. At the same time, my physical therapist discharged me from my weekly therapy because she felt there was no value added to my recovery now. It was a severe incident 3 days later that someone in my apartment building saw me through my recovery stages, telling me about meditation. I called my future master Brian the next day. He asked about my injury and my recovery. Brian's response was respectful, he would not accept the surgeon's diagnosis, and said he could help. He said that it would take just time and dedication from my side. I went to my first class on the same day. Now, I am going to class regularly and have seen and felt a fundamental improvement in my ankle and leg strength, and walking stamina. Before I started going to class, I was limited to a few blocks radius of running. Today, I do not have those boundaries. My journey so far has been fantastic, and I am incredibly grateful for my improvement. But what is even more exciting and inspiring is that I know that my journey and recovery is only starting now. Irene’s story: I went to the studio 6 years ago, overweight, inflexible, stressed out and terrified because I had never done yoga before. I was standing in the back of the class, so no one noticed how I struggled with the poses, but I saw that everyone was focused on their practice at different levels. Today, at the age of 50, I must be thankful for this. I have learned that practicing yoga - especially during stressful times in my life - is a foundation

for health, fitness, pain relief, and, most of all, stress reduction. The most significant benefit I have personally experienced by practicing yoga here (aside from the reduction in glorious stress) is a greater awareness of my body - and this is where weight loss occurs, and greater flexibility comes. I am more aware of stress and poor nutrition and that sitting in front of the computer for hours affects my body. It has helped me make better choices, and over time, I have adapted these choices into my lifestyle. I had a stubborn last 20 pounds to lose, and it sat there for years, no matter what I did, but after working out, I began to lose weight and I am at such an age, when the pound can pile up! In times of stress, practicing yoga becomes especially important - and it is the place to find solitude, strengthen your body, eliminate pain, and become fit and healthy. Mark's story: Back in September, I faced a decision. As I was celebrating my 26th birthday, I had already started having knee pain and hip pain. I have tried to "lose weight" since middle school and failed. I had tried every kind of different diet, and nothing stuck. I had two options: keep walking on the path I was on or make a permanent change. I knew that I did not want to end up with type 2 diabetes and mobility issues; I knew I wanted better for myself. I decided to take a critical look at my health, give up excuses, and really go for it. This time felt so different because I was finally doing it for the right reasons. I was not trying to fit in some new dress or look like girls in magazines; I was doing so for my health. My goal is to be healthy and fit and to get better. I started making changes in my diet, drinking tons of water, and fearlessly trying new exercise methods. I signed up at one meditation and yoga course in October, and it really helped keep me on the right foot on my journey to fitness. I think I was so much healthier and more active even a few months ago. My body can do all kinds of things it could not before, and I am overly excited

because I know that this is just the beginning. Martin's story: I've always been active, but I only take care of the daily routine (not running, elliptical, weightlifting like I used to do). When I moved to San Francisco, I wanted to try something different. My girlfriend took me to my first yoga class; although it wasn't for me, I wanted to explore other options. A friend at work suggested a yoga company in California. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a 1 month subscription. After struggling for my first class, I still felt completely fresh and couldn't wait to return the next day. I started attending classes regularly (4-6 times a week) and it changed my life. After leaving class, I feel energetic, stand a little taller, and sleep more soundly - all the benefits I'd stopped getting from the gym after years of the same old routine. In addition to the mental and physical benefits, yoga had helped me overcome a chronic injury when I was in college in a terrible car accident. My teachers pay close attention to every student, so when I spoke to him about my concerns about chronic injuries, he assured me that he would help me work to strengthen the field I had broken. I feel like I have finally regained the 1/2 inch height lost from my compression fracture - 8 years later - all thanks to my yoga practice. Ila's story: "Yoga is so boring." My mindset had always been when yoga, meditation, and anything that had to do with Om, Chi, and Chakras. My head was filled with unhealthy negative thoughts. I thought that even though I attended some classes and gave up (which happened a lot because I got bored of a mindless gym membership). My first class was not easy; My muscles were protesting, and my mind was angry that I was being forced to try harder than I really wanted to. But that is

the beauty of these classes - it takes you more effort than you want for your own good. That was why I came back. Any instructor who cares about your desire to fix your alignment was rare; I attended many previous classes, with the instructor in front of the class doing their own workouts instead of helping their students learn proper form and alignment. It has been almost 2 years, and I am attending 4 to 6 classes a week. I had neck pain that bothered me every few months and required 3 chiropractic sessions a week. Now I go to every 2-3 weeks. Yoga has strengthened my body and mind in ways that I could not even imagine. I have been so inspired by studios and instructors that I have decided to join the teacher training apprenticeship. I want to encourage those yoga practitioners who walk through the doors and make sure they do not hurt themselves but still have an excellent workout for the body and mind. Katrin's story: I had recovered from my third knee surgery. I was just diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis and sciatic foot pain. I have not been successful in 2 epidural procedures to relieve my lower back pain. I did physical rehabilitation twice a week, got a massage, took all kinds of painkillers and got no relief. My attending physician told me that if nothing worked, our next step was to perform the surgery without any guarantees. I was slowly going into depression, spent a lot of time in bed, could barely walk, move and had extreme pain 24/7. My life slowly began to change when I encountered meditation and yoga. Initially it was not easy for me as I was extremely limited in my range of motion and therefore, I concentrated all my mind and time on Mindfulness and Zen techniques. It was quite frustrating for me as I was a continuously active person before my surgeries. I trained, ran, walked, and skied twice a week with a personal trainer. I try to go to yoga classes at least 5 times a week and practice meditation techniques whenever I can. All this exercise has paid off because I am now

more flexible, more firm in my core, have no more back pain, lower blood pressure and I have lost about 20 pounds, but most of all I learned to control the pain by focusing on my breathing!!! I'm still limping from sciatica pain, but my doctors have told me it takes time and I hope I will soon be pain free! Aron’s story I have never been a man of new age or Eastern philosophy. I do not know if my chakras align or what would happen if they were not (it sounds terrible!). I have never been into astrology, although that kind of skepticism is the beautiful subject of Sagittarius. My friend had to take me to my first yoga class at a California yoga company. It did not seem like the kind of thing I would like at all. In my first class , there was no drum circle or meditation, just a brutal workout. But I survived and came back. I have never done any exercise that has not bored me quickly. In my case, my problems started with my awkward flat feet. Yoga has helped me rebuild my arches, which were causing other issues in my whole body. Yoga has also helped improve my fitness dramatically. I have lost over 40lbs in the past year doing yoga and eating these things called "vegetables," which is apparently food that grows out of the ground (yes, I am not entirely sold yet). At first, I just wanted to look in shape, and now I really want to understand and get better at poses And who knows, maybe there is something to that mental calm. Scott's Story: I began to suffer from panic attacks back in 2006 while I was working in the company with an old boss without respect for any need or emotion of others. I approached meditation by coincidence by talking to the owner of a bar near my home.

He had started studying meditation techniques after his divorce from his wife and said he was able to regain his life, much more quickly than he expected, just by focusing on his breathing. I started doing my research on the ancient Indian masters and I was able to learn to dominate my emotions. Initially it was a real challenge, but now after many years I am a completely new person, safe, healthy and free. I no longer suffer from any kind of anxiety and today it is I who help the people who are close to me to relate to themselves.

Merlin's story: I would like to share how yoga practice has improved my three pillars in life: mind, body and soul. My mind is clear, my body is thinner and my soul is at peace. -The mind With mindfulness meditation I am more focused, more intuitive, more productive, it really seems to have infinite energy. -The body It is not losing pounds for the sake of losing pounds. It's all about knowing how the extra pounds are affecting the whole body. I really love understanding internal medicine. I'm my own chiropractor. -Atma / Soul When I'm not doing yoga, I feel a sad cloud of laziness over me. It makes me feel lazy about eating right, setting common goals. Everything is a burden for me and for everything. Skipping classes is a quick cold shot because I can tackle problems with more confidence. Charlize’s story: Doing yoga 3 to 4 times a week has really improved my health in the last 2

years. I have always had a very rigid body, but doing yoga is changing it. I had a herniated disc about 9 years ago and occasional lower back issues, but doing yoga gave me a lot of emphases that I had almost forgotten my back issues. I have practically eliminated my shoulder pain that I often experience due to stress. It just makes me feel so good after every class! The food tastes better, the water becomes even more refreshing, and the air enters my lungs as if I am taking my first breath as a human (I am not kidding).
