Meditation by way of Kriya Yoga
Many people find it difficult to
control Prana directly by way of controlling breathing pattern. I have received
many queries relating to difficulty in attaining meditative state.
Actually mind
and breath are two sides of same coin. Many of you have also observed on several
occasions that whenever you mind is calm, your breath also becomes calm and
when your breath is calm, your mind also comes in calm state and very few thoughts
emerge in your mind during such state of calmness.
Actually I have received many queries
from many persons that they are struggling to get into meditative state. I am
surprised that how the meditative state can be achieved or meditation can be done with
struggle. Whereas, meditation comes on its own, it’s just your own state of
mind and nothing else. In meditation, your all energies flows in one direction
and your mental faculties got concentrated towards single point or in other
words your mind becomes static for a moment and in that single moment you find
more concentrated, more energized, more calmed, more focused without loss of
mental energies.
Let me explain it by giving single example..
Imagine that you are sitting somewhere and listening to music with open eyes
and if someone will pass by you even then you may not have seen that person
just because your mind is more attached to your ears than your eyes while listening
to music. It means, though eyes were there -- but to see something we need one more
thing and that is mind i.e. attention. Sadhus called it Surat means face of
soul, the mind … and here is the key of Meditation… we only need to extend that
state of mind to get focused on one point. This is one way …
But many Persons find it difficult to
get focused on one single point for long time because mind is of flickering
nature and it shifts concentration or attention from one point to another,
which makes more difficulty for a person to come in meditative state… here
comes another technique of Meditation.
Chakra Purification Technique / Kriya —It is called
as Chakra Purification technique and it’s really so easy and effective that if
you continue to do it regularly, your mind will become calmer and more calmer
and one day you will also achieve the state of keval kumbhak i.e. static prana…
Static Prana means where breath cease for long time.
I will post the Technique in my next
post.
