In today’s stress full world we all know the benefits of yoga. So, here I am, sharing some of the asanas which will help you to meditate to reduce your stress.
There are several techniques from which one need to learn how you should maintain balance in your life such as Sahajayoga, breathing power yoga etc. But before that you should know what meditation is?
Meditation is a form in which person relaxes with its inner side without worrying about the outer surroundings. But without knowing exactly the nature of this process it is impossible to correctly realize it.
Some therapist suggests that meditation is that when you consult your inner self without any outer object. However, it is incorrect some how. You cannot start meditating as it own. You should have one object to meditate on. As without an object to meditate upon, there is no meditation.
The adult mind is like a small baby, the more you try to calm it by force, the more it will refuse to do that. So, it is necessary to let yourself absorbed by an object.
Meditation is strongest form in Buddhism. They too believe meditation on an object such as a burning white candle.
There are three steps of meditation:
1. Dharana - mental concentration - This means attention towards particular object.
2. Dhyana - meditation - This means continuous flow of the mental processes toward the object.
3. Samadhi – blissful identification – This means co-penetration of the object of meditation with the practitioner's own being.
But before understanding these steps you need to exercise some of the yoga breathing asanas such as pranayama and savasana.
Pranayama:
Pranayama is the ability to control one's breath so that the inhalation and exhalation of air is rhythmic.
The one form of pranayama is just inhale counting five through your nose than hold your breath till eight counts and than release it either through nose or mouth counting five. Repeat this process for three times a day. Gradually, increase the times you practice this exercise.
Savasana (Corpse Pose, alternately spelled Shavasana, and also known as mrta-asana):
It is a relaxing posture intended to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.
Lying on the back, the arms and legs are spead at about 45 degrees, the eyes are closed and the breath deep. The whole body is relaxed onto the floor with an awareness of the chest and abdomen, rising and falling of each breath. All parts of the body are scanned for muscular tension of any kind, which is consciously released as it is found, optionally with a small repetitive movement of the area. All control of the breath, the mind, and the body is then released for the duration of the posture, typically 20-30 minutes. It is very easy if you make attention towards the blood circulating your body starting from feet to center of mind.
