Meditation

Meditation is the practice of deep inner concentration and awareness in an effort to experience inner stillness peace and silence.

We use techniques of withdrawal of the senses and creating inner focal points, to still the thought waves and to anchor the concentration of the mind within.

Many studies have been done on the very positive results of meditation or deep focussed concentration .

A regular meditation practice helps the individual to develop more control of their own thoughts. Stilling the noisy and sometimes intrusive inner dialogue even momentarily can generate feelings and experiences of deep stillness and peace making it very useful tool in the battle against stress and stress-related disorders.

Taking a short time out to simply ‘be’ encourages deep-relaxation and effective restoration.

The Five Points of Yoga

Swami Vishnudevananda encapsulated the essence of yoga into 5 lifestyle points:

1.Proper Exercise

2. Proper Breathing (Pranayama)

3. Proper Relaxation

4. Proper Diet

5. Positive Thinking & Meditation

Positive Thinking

The mind is a vast expanse of conscious and unconscious thought, knowledge and wisdom. According to yoga we use but a fraction of our mental capacity.

Often we can get stuck in very limited ways of thinking. Unconscious patterns of negative thought can hugely impact on our state of mind, mental and physical health, and emotional well being.

Unlike Western studies of the mind, yogic thought is not particularly interested in what constitutes mental illness, but keeps it’s focus very much on what constitutes radiant, positive and good mental health.

Techniques of positive thinking are taught in yoga. These techniques help us to learn to replace old worn out habitual modes of thinking, with uplifting, invigorating thoughts and ideas, that allow the mental faculties to expand and grow.

Sometimes we make real efforts to think positively only to be discouraged by stubborn repetitive ‘negative’ thought patterns. Nil Desperandum with regular practice and the consistent effort of repetition even the most persistent negative thoughts can be replaced with positive and uplifting ideas. Like anything else regular practice makes perfect!
