MEDITATION |
| |
Meditation is a science of mind. In Patanjali Sutra, it defines as a higher level of consciousness and in Sankhya Yoga, it define as an ultimate state of thoughtlessness.
Actually, the meditation means thoughtlessness. And all those approaches are called also meditation which helps to de-crease thought process in human.
A simple meditation
Sit in a comfortable position, either in a chair or on the floor, with your back and head straight.
You can "warm up" with a couple of deep breaths, ujjayi pranayama or nadi shodhana.
Close your eyes. Breathe through your nose. Focus on your breath -- cool air in, warm air out. If the mind wanders, gently bring it back to the breath. That's it. Start with a 5-10 minute meditation and work your way up to 15, 20, 30 minutes or more. |

A variation that may make things a little easier at the beginning is to count your breaths. Count up to four and then repeat, over and over. You can add an "and" between counts to fill up the space between breaths. It goes like this: inhale (1) - exhale (and) - inhale (2) - exhale (and)…and so on up to four. |
