One of the most profound meditations is the chanting of the OM mantra.  There are many meditation techniques that use the OM mantra, and in today’s article you will find an excellent variation below. This technique has been wonderfully explained by Richard, and this is his first guest post on Mastery of Meditation and Yoga.  Richard is a meditation teacher and author, and you will find more information on the courses he offers on his website Shaktipat-meditation.org.

Prayer for Peace

Prayer for Love

Some time ago a reader, Debra, shared with me the wonderful prayer of Saint Francis which reflects the desire of those of us who wish all hearts everywhere to be filled with peace and love.  During this season where we recognize Jesus Christ who was a great example of love and forgiveness, I thought it would be a great time to share this payer with all of you as well.

Meditation for Stress Relief

Stress Management Technique

Shadb Kriya works by combining the powerful stress reducing ability of yoga breathing exercises and known relaxation benefits of mantra meditation into one great technique.  The end result is that if you are suffering from anxiety, stress, insomnia, excessive worrying, negative thinking, etc, this meditation technique demands an opportunity to help cure you of these disruptive ailments.

In the article Easy Meditation Technique for Total Stress Relief, I presented this technique but I do think a video demonstration is particularly helpful as there are many dimensions to this technique.  Shabd Kriya utilizes hand mudras, eye mudras, yoga pranayama as well as mantra meditation to help attack stress from all angles.  And how to combine all this correctly is what I show in this video.

How to Talk to God

Prayer for Talking to God

For 20+ years now, my mother, Shobha Mehta, has been running a monthly spiritual get-together which is focused on helping children develop into compassionate, wise and positive human beings.  A part of the studies is also for them to learn about the various aspects of Divinity and how to integrate God into their heart, mind and life.  In recent times, she has handed over the reigns to the next generation, and they have been marvelously continuing this great tradition that she started.  A special thanks to Harsh Mendiratta for continuing this most precious ritual.

Free Meditation Music

Relaxation Meditation Music

Meditation music can serve many different purposes, such as relaxation, enjoyment, healing, chakra activation, etc., but really good meditation music is the type that ultimately points you towards Infinity.  In fact, that is the mark of any really great art.  That it reminds you of Infinity and moves you that direction.  It inspires you to reach towards your Highest Nature.

Prayer from Buddhism

Zen Poem

So our tenth wedding anniversary is next year, and Mrs. Mehta (Trupti) has been suggesting all sorts of ideas of how we ought to renew our vows in a unique way to celebrate this milestone.  The leading candidate right now for this ceremony, is doing a Buddhist themed wedding, as we are both big fans of Zen and the teachings of the Buddha.

Of course, this meant Trupti went scouring the internet for information and soon she found the following beautiful Buddhist Prayer, can be recited at Buddhist weddings.  After hearing and enjoying it last night, I immediately felt it ought to be shared with all of you.
