Background of Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

This relaxation meditation technique was taught to me by Ravi Singh during my teacher’s training program without much fan fare I recall.  It was presented in one of the 8 hour long Kundalini Yoga classes and I immediately took a liking to it (yes you read that right about the 8 hour long Kundalini Yoga classes during the teacher’s training program! :-). 

As far as relaxation meditation techniques go, this one is very simple.  There are no mantras to chant, no imaginary places to visualize and visit, no self hypnosis, no elaborate Yoga Nidra scripts to follow for releasing muscle tension, none on that.  All that is required is a simple Yoga pose and your breath.  Don’t get me wrong here, soothing mantra meditations, peaceful visualizations and conscious body relaxation are very effective meditation techniques for relaxation, anger management and stress management, it’s just that the beauty of this technique, which caught my attention, lies in its simplicity.

Tools for Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

  • If you are alive and breathing you can practice this meditation.

Benefits of Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

Primary Benefits: 

  • Promotes mental and emotional relaxation, peace and tranquility.
  • Reduces stress.
  • Dissolves anger and irritation.
  • Promotes calmness and harmony.

Secondary Benefits: 

  • Improves the respiratory system.
  • Promotes health, wellbeing and longevity.

Cautions for Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

This meditation technique might turn you into a Saint, please be fore warned :-).

Guided Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

  • Sit up in any comfortable relaxed position, preferably with the spine straight.
  • Bring your gently hands into prayer pose or Namaste Yoga pose in the following way.  Have your upper arms along and touching the sides of your ribs such that your elbows are near your lower ribs.  Have your palms together (like in prayer) and have them 6-12 inches away from your chest.  Cup your hands slightly so the palms are not touching and allow a small space between your thumbs.  The thumb tips though are touching, it’s just there should be a small gap between your thumbs leading into the space between your slightly cupped palms.
  • Have your eyes 1/10th open looking down.
  • Take 5 long deep breaths through the nose and then move on to the next step.
  • Now breathe in deeply through the nose and breathe out slowly through the mouth aiming your breath at the gap between your thumbs.  As the cool air hits your thumbs and enters the space between your palms you should start to feel tremendous calm and relaxation wash over you.  Anger and stress should simply start to dissolve and you should start to feel mentally and emotionally tranquil and peaceful.  The cool gentle air along with the posture are the keys to the effectiveness of this simple relaxation meditation technique.
  • Continue the meditation by breathing in deeply though the nose and slowly out the mouth into your hands as long as you wish or until all the anger, stress, irritation and/or tension is completely dissolved.

Meditation tips for Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction:

  • You may try this meditation technique with your eyes closed as well, if you find that works better for you.
  • You should adjust the distance your hands are away from your chest by ensuring that when you breathe out the air is cooing the inside of your palms.

That concludes the Relaxation Meditation Technique for Stress Reduction.

Sheetali Pranayama Breathing Exercise for Stress & Anger Management

Breathing Exercise for Reducing Stress 

Sheetali Pranayama: Hatha Yoga Breathing Exercise #6


Free Online Video of Sheetali Yoga Pranayama

(Video #5 of the Online Yoga Breathing Exercises Video Series)

What is Sheetali Pranayama:

Sheetali Pranayama is Yoga’s answer to heat, stress, anger and irritation.  Sheetal means calmness and peacefulness and those are the results of practicing this cooling breath.  I recently undertook the practice of Sheetali Pranayama when an internal heat imbalance took place within my body and I am happy to report that the energies within have been cooled and equilibrium has been restored.

Sheetali Pranayama comes directly from the traditional schools of Hatha Yoga, but, it was also taught to me in my Kundalini Yoga training and is a widely used breathing technique to combat Ayurveda’s Pitta (Heat: see Introducing Ayurveda – Alternative Medicine for Self Healing) related issues.  Sheetali is another pranayama worth having in your repertoire and its simplicity makes it possible to do anywhere and an anytime.

Below are the details of Sheetali Pranayama.

Benefits of Sheetali Pranayama:

Primary benefits of Sheetali Pranayama:

  • Cools the mental, physical and emotional systems and reduces internal heat.
  • Reduces stress and creates a sense of tranquility and peace.
  • Reduces anger and irritation promoting calm.
  • Reduces fever.
  • Combats other Pitta related disturbances such as acidity, burning eyes, heat rash etc.

Secondary benefits of Sheetali Pranayama:

  • Stimulates and assists in digestion.
  • Helps combat restlessness and helps induce sleep.

Cautions for Sheetali Pranayama:

There are not many cautions for practicing Sheetali Pranayama.  Since it’s a cooling breath it will increase Kapha (mucus) so don’t practice it if you have cold and respiratory related issues.  Also, in winter don’t overdo it to avoid exacerbating Kapha and excessively cooling the system.

Instructions for Beginner’s Sheetali Pranayama:

To practice Sheetali pranayama sit up in a comfortable position, you are also practice this breathing exercise standing up or lying down.  The instructions below are for if you are sitting, but, for other positions only slight modifications should be needed.

  • Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in like a soldier at attention.  This will align the spine with the back of your head.
  • Close your eyes and place your hands on your knees.
  • Now curl the sides of your tongue up to create a tunnel and slowly breathe in through your mouth allowing the air to pass over your tongue thus creating a cooling sensation.
  • After you inhale, bring the tongue back in and exhale through the nose.  Then again stick the curled tongue out and repeat.
  • Do 10 repetitions.  One breath cycle of inhalation and exhalation makes 1 repetition.

Instructions for Intermediate Sheetali Pranayama:

The only change for intermediate Sheetali Pranayama is to increase the number of repetitions from 10 up to 50.

Modification for Sheetali Pranayama:

The key to Sheetali Pranayama is the cooling of the air as it passes through the curled tongue, unfortunately, not everyone can curl their tongue in this manner.  If you fall into this category just curl the sides of you tongue up as far as possible and breathe in allowing the air to flow over the tongue to create the coolness as best as possible.

Secret of Sheetali Pranayama: 

According to Yoga lore, The Fonz (Fonzie from the TV show Happy Days) practiced Sheetali Pranayama in secret and it was the reason why he was so cool :-).

Wealth & Prosperity Meditation Technique

Free Meditation & Kundalini Yoga Mudras for Prosperity

Prosperity Meditation Guided Video

(From Free Online Meditation Videos, chapter 4 Prosperity Mudra Mantra Meditation Video)

Background of Prosperity Meditation Technique:

Prosperity & Infinite Energy

Recently I have received many requests to provide a meditation technique for prosperity and wealth.  The guided meditation technique in this article not only meets that requirement, but in fact does a great deal more for you as well.  My views on money on the path to enlightenment and views on how to choose and manifest your desires, can be read in the following 2 articles: Money Money Money Mantra and the Path to Enlightenment and The 4 Keys Laws to Manifest Desire if You Absolutely Must.  If you feel money and wealth are indeed needed by you at this time of your life, then by all means use this potent meditation technique to manifest them.

This powerful meditation technique utilizes many different components of Kundalini Yoga and Yoga Philosophy to work its magic.  It uses the power of mantra (sound/thought vibration), yoga mudras (hand positions to facilitate certain states of consciousness), pranayama (breath control techniques), in conjunction with yogic body techniques to fulfill its purpose.  Thus, this unique meditation can also be categorized as a Kundalini Yoga Kriya (set) or a Yoga Breathing Exercise (pranayama).

Tools required for Prosperity Meditation Technique:

  • An alarm clock, stop watch or other time device.

Benefits of Prosperity Meditation Technique:

Primary Benefits: 

  • Attracts and brings to you prosperity, wealth and money.
  • Makes available to you the Energy of the Infinite.  Please use wisely.
  • Attracts and brings to you gifts and blessings.
  • Expands and strengthens your Pranic (energetic) body.
  • Expands and strengthens your nervous system.
  • Helps you overcome deep seated fears (including fear of death) and makes you courageous.
  • Builds the Naval Center and abdominal muscles.

Secondary Benefits: 

  • Opens, heals and rejuvenates the Manipura (Nabhi – Naval) Chakra.
  • Improves your digestive system.
  • Builds your willpower and strength of character.

Cautions for Practicing Prosperity Meditation Technique:

As mentioned above, this meditation technique utilizes breath control (pranayama) as part of its process.  It requires breath suspension after exhalation, which is one of the more difficult aspects of breath control.  Anytime you are going to practice breath suspension, especially after exhalation, you need to move forward gently and intelligently.  So Do Not Strain and build up the time for this meditation systematically.  In doing so you will avoid creating unnecessary problems for yourself and will gracefully gain mastery over this profound meditation technique.

Guided Prosperity Meditation Technique: 

Follow the step by step meditation instructions below to practice this technique.

  • Sit in a comfortable cross legged position.  You may also sit on a chair for this meditation.
  • Set your alarm or other time device for the appropriate time (start with 1 minute and build up to 11 minutes or more).
  • Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in, like a soldier at attention.  This will align the spine with the back of your head.
  • Take 5 deep, slow breaths though the nose.  This will oxygenate your blood and relax you.
  • Place your LEFT hand in Yoga Gyan Mudra (your INDEX finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 fingers are pointing straight)
  • Extend your left arm up at 60 degrees.  Your palm is facing in towards you and the arm should be straight.
  • Place your RIGHT hand in Yoga Surya Mudra (your RING finger and Thumb tips are meeting, other 3 finger are pointing straight)
  • Bend your right arm such that your right elbow is near your lower ribs, on the right side of your body, with your forearm making a small angle at your right elbow joint.  The right palm is also facing in (and will be about face level).
  • Close your eyes.
  • Inhale deeply, then EXHALE completely and hold your breath out.
  • With your breath held out pump your stomach at a moderate pace about 1 pump / second.  Pump your stomach means to pull in your abdominal muscles powerfully towards your spine.
  • With each pump silently THINK the sound HAR.
  • Once your have done as many pumps as you are comfortable doing, inhale deeply, then EXHALE and repeat the cycle again.  Continue for the duration of the meditation.

Hints & Tips for Prosperity Meditation Technique:

  • I repeat, start this meditation slowly and build up your time systematically.
  • When you start to feel stronger and more capable of holding your breath out for extended periods of time, challenge the sense of panic that comes upon you as a result of breath deprivation.  Staying calm through this period of panic will make you fearless.  DO NOT TRY THIS UNTIL YOU THINK YOU ARE READY FOR IT.
  • Try to keep the arms as indicated and don’t give up at the first sign of discomfort.  Again, don’t overdo it early in your practice, but as you progress let the mind and body know that you have the willpower and spirit to overcome their complaints.
  • This meditation is designed to give you a great deal of power, energy and wealth.  It is provided here with the understanding that you agree not to misuse any of these blessings and agree to use them to make progress on your spiritual journey and/or use them to help others in theirs.

This concludes the Prosperity & Energy Guided Meditation Technique.

(Added 08/30/2007) 

Here are some illustrations for the correct posture and yoga mudras (hand positions) for this meditation as I realize this meditation can be quite confusing.  Way over due I know :-P.

My Time at an Osho Retreat When My Body Disappeared

10 Comments/in , /by

Osho Retreat Experiences:

There is a wonderful Osho (Bagwan Shree Rajneesh) retreat that takes place here in upstate New York, it is one that I have, unfortunately, only been able to attend once, but what an experience that was!  I am not a “sannyas”, meaning someone who has formally joined his organization, but I do find his books very inspiring and insightful.  In fact one of the first books I read was “The Alpha and the Omega”, which really propelled me onto this path of meditation and yoga.  After that I discovered Jiddu Krishnamurti’s “Network of Thought” and then there was no turning back — I had reached terminal velocity and was well past the point of no return.

An Osho retreat, if they are all like the one I attended, is really something out of this world and worth attending if you have the opportunity.  This retreat was held at a mystical Sufi Ashram up the mountains of upstate New York and they could not have picked a better location.  The ashram was surrounded by quiet hills and just being there created a sense of serenity and depth within.  We arrived and checked in on a Friday evening and soon after everyone had settled in, the party began.  The program was packed with Osho’s famous guided meditations.  There was Osho’s Dynamic Meditation, Osho’s Kundalini Meditation, Movement as Meditation, among others… and if you know anything about Osho’s meditations you know they involve a lot of music and lot of dancing.  Since I love both immensely, the whole weekend was like one huge celebration of energy and spirit.

Osho Retreat

Now, before you get the idea that the retreat was like hitting the local nightclub, let me warn you it was very demanding.  Osho’s meditations are physically challenging.  They are designed to break down deep rooted patterns and ignite one’s awareness.  The meditations use a great deal of breath and movement to force a catharsis of anything repressed, so that space is created within for meditation to occur.  During my time there and soon afterwards several astonishing experiences took place.  Of these here is one that was particularly interesting and insightful.

It was during the later part of Saturday evening’s meditation program.  We had just completed, what must have been hours of physical meditation and dance, and were viewing some of Osho’s video commentaries and getting some much needed rest.  I had found a comfortable floor chair and was cherishing this period of relaxation, when I was taken aback by what started to transpire.  My physical body began to disappear from my field of awareness.  At first some parts began to vanish, then shortly thereafter, the whole body was gone.  I was just a witness to what was transpiring.  The experience was not at all scary though, in fact it was quite pleasant and most of all very intriguing.  As I became more comfortable with this unusual state of consciousness I actually began to experiment with it.  I tried to mentally find my body, locate it in time and space, but it had completely disappeared from my field of awareness.  I was unable to rediscover it no matter what I tried.  I was no longer a physical creature in any shape or from.  I was just energy, just awareness.  Eventually, on its own accord the body returned, or better said I returned to my body.

This experience gave me deep insight into the nature of our reality and consciousness.  It also helped me understand first hand what Osho was trying to accomplish with his meditations.  His meditations always work to empty your mind and body, and then require you to remain vitally aware and wait for what life might bestow on you.  This is exactly how it happened.  The meditations purged me of all the junk I was holding within, and then unexpectedly, while just relaxing, consciousness shifted to a different dimension of being and awareness.  For those looking to try Osho’s meditations I will provide some of them on this website as well, but until then you can grab one his books, or better still, attend one of his retreats.  I mean, what can be so bad about dancing your butt off while at the same time, discovering what your True Nature really is.

For those in the Northeastern US who wish to attend this retreat you will want to keep an eye on Osho Padma Meditation Center in NY.  This is where I found out about the retreat, I believe the person running this center is Ma Satya Priya.  The retreat, by the way, is usually during Halloween weekend, which is just perfect as for once you get to take your masks off, instead of putting more on :-).  I might go again this year if they hold it.  The center also runs several weekly Osho Meditations, I have not attended those (as I am not in that vicinity), so if you wish to try it out, you can check out their schedule on the website.  Do let me know your feedback if you attend.  Other Osho websites you may want to explore are: Osho Home Page, Osho World Vision of Enlightenment and Friends of Osho.  Enjoy!

Opening Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra Meditation Technique for Psychic Powers

247 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Chakra Meditation to Open Third Eye

AUM Meditation

The third meditation we will explore in the Free Online Guided Meditation E-Book is a widely used and accepted method for opening, activating and balancing the mysterious and powerful Ajna Chakra (Third Eye).  It is the the potent AUM Mantra meditation technique.

Video of AUM Meditation to Open Third Eye Chakra

(From Chapter 1 of the Guided Meditation Video Series for Daily Practice:- AUM Meditation to Rapidly Open Third Eye)

 

Background of Ajna Chakra Meditation: 

The Ajna Chakra is the sixth chakra of the Kundalini Seven Chakra System.  A chakra is an energy vortex which resides in a particular location of the body and governs the organs and glands of that region.  A Chakra is also associated with certain traits and characteristics of the personality and forms a bridge between mind, body and spirit. 

The Ajna Chakra or Third Eye, eye lies at the very top of spine in the medulla oblongata.  It relates to the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, the nasociliary nerve plexus and frontal lobes of the brain.

Chakra Meditation means to activate and balance a particular chakra, thus improving the functioning of everything in that particular region as well as refining the associated personality traits and characteristics.  In some cases psychic powers associated with a particular chakra are also unleashed.

Ajna Chakra literally mean “To Command”.  This chakra is also called the “Third Eye” as it’s activation gives one the power of intuitive knowledge.  In addition, it is called the “Guru Chakra” as its activation connects one to the “Inner Guru”.  Similarly, it is also called “Eye of Shiva” or “The Divine Eye” for it’s awakening implies the higher stages of meditation and wisdom. 

Each chakra can be activated by several means.  In this meditation we will use the physical trigger point of the chakra (kshetram) as a point of concentration to activate it.  In addition, each chakra is associated with a particular seed sound (Beej Mantra) which can be utilized to awaken it.   For the Ajan Chakra the Beej Mantra is the primordial sound “OM” (AUM) and this meditation will be using that as well.

Tools Required:

  • An alarm clock, stop watch or other time device.

Benefits:

Primary Benefits: 

  • Builds the power of intuition.
  • Bestows and increases Psychic Powers.
  • Increases and refines awareness.
  • Provides clarity of thought, insights and wisdom.
  • Allows one to connect to the “inner guru” or “higher self” for guidance and inspiration.
  • Builds the Yogic Mind or Neutral Mind which is free from attachments of the ego.
  • Build the power to read others and detect their subtle and gross energetic conditions.
  • Promotes flow of Kundalini Energy into the higher centers.

Secondary Benefits: 

  • Promotes the ability to have Lucid Dreams.
  • Allows for non-verbal communication.
  • Builds focus and one pointedness of the mind.
  • Improves your vision.
  • Promotes health and wellbeing.

Cautions for Practicing Third Eye Meditation:

Do not strain when holding shambhavi yoga mudra (detailed below).

Mditation-OMFire

AUM Mantra Meditation Instructions: 

Follow the step by step meditation below to practice this technique:

  • Sit in a comfortable cross legged position.  You may also sit on a chair or lean against a wall for this meditation.
  • Set your alarm or other time device for 20 minutes.
  • Elongate your spine upwards, lengthen your neck and subtly bring your chin back and in, like a soldier at attention.  This will align the spine with the back of your head.
  • Take 5 deep, slow breaths though the nose.  This will oxygenate your blood and relax you.
  • Keeping the head straight look up at an imaginary point in the middle of your forehead, just above the eyebrows.  This eye position is called shambhavi yoga mudra.  Close your eyes while holding this mudra.  Do not strain excessively.
  • Rest your hands in any comfortable position, you can place them on your knees.
  • Try to remain as still as possible.
  • Now inhale deeply and begin to chant in a soft, slow, steady voice the manta OM (pronounced AUM).  One chant of OM (AUM) Mantra should last for the entire exhalation.  Its a long “Oh”, followed by a semi long “Mmmm” during each exhalation.  Once all the air has been expelled, inhale fully again and begin to chant the mantra once more.  Visualize the OM sound coming from a point in the middle of the forehead just above the eyebrows and emanating throughout your entire body.
  • Continue for the duration of the meditation.  If your eyes tire from shambhavi yoga mudra release the mudra but continue to chant the OM (AUM) mantra as above.  Reapply the mudra again when ready.
  • Once you have completed the meditation, rub the palms of your hands together to make them warm and place them on your eyes as you open them slowly.  This will relax and comfort your eye muscles.

Hints and Tips for AUM Mantra Meditation:

  • There are many variations to OM (AUM) Mantra chanting for the activation of Ajna Chakra.  I will provide a variation that only requires silently chanting OM Mantra and therefore can be practiced almost anywhere.  Follow all steps from the guided meditation above except instead of chanting OM (AUM) Mantra out loud, as you inhale chant “Oh” silently, while visualizing the sound flowing into Ajna Chakra from your forehead and then silently chant “Mmmm” as you exhale, visualizing the sound leaving your forehead from Ajna Chakra.  The rest is the same as the meditation above.

Secret of This Meditation:

Many women today are actually practicing Ajna Chakra Meditation without even knowing it.  This is resulting from the tradition of wearing a bindi.  A bindi is the colorful decorative dot placed in the middle of the forehead and was designed originally to provide continual stimulation to Ajna Chakra by way of its Kshetram (physical trigger point).  So next time you wear a bindi, remember that not only does it look oh so fine, but it is also raising your level of awareness and consciousness – not bad for a dot.
