Meditation Review

Welcome to the New Year. May this year be a year of happiness, health, and prosperity for all of you.

As we step into the new year, it is equally important to incorporate daily meditation into our routine. It can serve as an essential repetition tool for both mind and soul. Meditation helps us to center our thoughts, clear mental clutter, reduce stress, and increase our emotional balance. With regular practice, we can focus our attention and purpose, improve memory, and increase our sense of inner peace. In a fast-paced world of distractions, meditating for just a few minutes each day can help us recalibrate, reduce stress, and enhance our overall well-being. Starting each day with a mindful practice sets a positive tone, making it easier to navigate daily challenges with clarity and peace. Let’s start our meditation practice once again.

Asana : This experiment will be more enjoyable if you do it indoors. You can also do this activity outdoors. But the mind becomes so focused in this activity that it quickly drifts into a void. Let us look at our meditation process once again,

Keep your spine as straight as possible against the wall,

Preferably there should be peace around, so that the mind does not get distracted during your meditation process. Try to reduce the thoughts in your mind. Concentrate your mind as much as possible. Initially, thoughts will keep coming to your mind, let them come, this is a natural process, thoughts will keep coming but you should try to see how you can reduce them.

Divide your thoughts, make a table of which ones are good and which ones are bad. After doing this, the number of thoughts in your mind will reduce, now only a few thoughts will remain in your mind, try to reduce them too.

Keep your Spine straight against the wall and bring your vision in a straight line, keep a meditative picture in front of your vision, this helps to stabilize your vision. Now after looking in front of you for a few moments, slowly reduce your vision, turn your mind inward and close your eyes.

Now instruct the mind, "O mind, pay attention to your breathing." 

Now, paying attention to your breath, slowly focus your breath on the base chakra bone (muladhara chakra). Keep your breath lingering here, making a circular motion. Breathe again and repeat this process. By doing this, your breath will become a habit of lingering on the muladhara chakra.

Bringing your breath to the muladhara chakra every day and keeping it lingering will affect the space there, after a few days you will start feeling something moving on the muladhara chakra, when your breath goes to that place, your breath will start. Feel the circular motion of the breath. By doing this, the mind starts to concentrate and the mind gets peace.

Out of the seven chakras, let us first focus on three chakras, these three chakras are related to our life, let us first focus on the Muladhara chakra. Then let us focus on the two (Svadhisthana and Manipura),  such three chakras above them and come out of this by influencing them, because these three chakras affect our daily life, so before meditating every day, let us make a habit of keeping the breath lingering on these three chakras, this will help the mind to concentrate.

Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra is associated with feelings of security, stability, and grounding. The Kundalini chakra originates here, and by binding this chakra, we can bind the air, which helps us control our desires. Focusing on this chakra can help develop a sense of security and peace. The foundation is strengthened, the mind is grounded, and thoughts (desires) are controlled.

Now let's do a breathing exercise

Keep your back straight against the wall and close your eyes, concentrate your mind and start breathing, while breathing in, count 1, 2, 3, 4, , , up to 15.

Hold the breath for 8 to 10 seconds and then release it. After exhaling, bring the mind to the root chakra and focus it. Keep the breath lingering here, so that the mind does not run elsewhere and the mind can be kept in the state of zero.

By doing this breathing exercise daily, we can discipline our mind to be in control.
