Happy Buddha Meditation Technique

Meditation for Joy & Positivity

Spring is finally here, a long winter is winding down and nature is eagerly waiting for warm, sunny days and refreshing, starry nights.  This is a time for much celebration, and so to usher in this new season I thought it would be great to introduce the uplifting and joyous Smiling Buddha Meditation.

It is reputed that this meditation was prescribed to the Buddha, by a rishi (saint) to help him regain his positive mind and recover emotionally after a long stretch of meditation and fasting.  Although, this meditation appears to be a simple technique, it is actually incorporating many important aspects of Kundalini Yoga to achieve it’s results.

Of all the mantras in the Vedas, the most revered and powerful is the Gayatri Mantra.  This mantra is certainly the most recited and also, perhaps has the widest range of applications.  It is not just used to express one’s devotion to the Lord, but is also used for jap meditation (mantra chanting), chakra meditation, naad yoga, putting the kids to sleep , etc.  In addition to Hindus, the Gayatri mantra is also embraced by Buddhists as well.

Prayer, Kundalini Awakening & Spiritual Growth

Bhakti Yoga & Jyana Yoga (Love vs. Intelligence):

In Kundalini Yoga and Tantra, in general, there are two recognized paths that lead to enlightenment.  There is the path of love and there is the path of intelligence.  In yogic terms these would be Bhakti Yoga and Jyana Yoga respectively.  Individuals, depending on their personality, tend to gravitate towards one or the other path, with the “devotional” types embracing Bhakti Yoga, and the “intellectual” types choosing Jyana Yoga.

Tantric Technique to Raise Sexual Energy

Sat Kriya - Kundalini Tantra Yoga Technique

Sexual energy, according to Kundalini Tantra Yoga, is considered the most concentrated form of biochemical energy in the human body.  In addition, it is also considered the one form of energy that can be used, not only for physical wellbeing, but also for the evolution of consciousness.  This is the primary reason why tantra yoga does not look to suppress sexual energy, but instead devises techniques to raise the vibration of this profound multi-purpose energy to help you with your spiritual growth.
