A Five Minute Mindful Breathing Practice to Restore Your Attention

Image
Sadhak Anshit Returning to the breath, again and again, when the mind has wandered that's how we train our attention. 1- Start by sitting comfortably on a cushion or in a chair. Close your eyes if you like, or leave them open and lower your gaze toward the floor. 2- Just breathe. Breathe as you normally would. There’s nothing special to do, or make happen. And then draw your attention to the physical sensation of each breath. You might notice the rising and falling of your abdomen or chest.

That’s normal, and always going to be part of our experience—both in meditation, and in life. You might find that your attention wanders

How to Turn Your Sensitivity into Your Biggest Strength

Image
“Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.” ~Sadhak Anshit We have a problem in the modern world that needs to be addressed.  It impacts huge numbers of the population but is so ingrained in our culture that it’s easy for us to overlook how dangerous it can be. This problem is the denial of sensitivity. We often associate sensitivity with weakness, but when we learn how to manage our energy and emotions we can actually become more controlled, empathetic, and driven. Most people suppress their sensitivity, not realizing that it’s a very powerful source of productive energy once they can learn how to accept it and direct it toward something positive. For a large portion of my life I would feel emotions very intensely, whether it was while watching movies or noticing the feelings of those around me. I guess you could say I was a natur

The Effects of Meditation on Aging, According to Science

Image
As most of you know by now, meditation has various great benefits. Science is catching up on ancient wisdom, and a growing number of studies prove the benefits of meditation for your mind. But the benefits do not stop there! Meditation has a list of long-lasting physical effects as well. One of these is the effect it has on aging: it appears that meditation has the ability to keep us younger, longer. If you are not yet convinced about meditation, after reading about the scientific research on how it affects aging, you might be ready to change your mind. Telomeres, and Why They Matter One of the best ways to measure the age of the body is to look beyond the physical symptoms of aging and to dive deeper to the cellular level. Telomeres are tiny protective caps located at each end of our DNA, and their job is to protect the strands of DNA that make up our chromosomes. Our cells replenish by copying themselves, but every time this happens, the telomeres get a little bit shorter

ध्यान की गहराई में छिपा है—परम सत्य योग साधक जैसे- जैसे अन्तर्यात्रा पथ पर आगे बढ़ते हैं, उनकी संवेदनाएँ सूक्ष्म हो जाती है। इस संवेदनात्मक सूक्ष्मता के साथ ही उनमें संवेगात्मक स्थिरता- नीरवता व गहरी शान्ति आती है। और ऐसे में उनके अनुभव भी गहरे, व्यापक व पारदर्शी होते चले जाते हैं। कई बार नए साधक आगे का मार्ग पाने के लिए बेचैन होते हैं। उनमें अध्यात्म की उच्चस्तरीय कक्षा में प्रवेश के लिए त्वरा होती है। यदा- कदा मार्गदर्शक का अभाव उन्हें परेशानी में डालता है। ऐसों के लिए महर्षि पतंजलि के सूत्र एवं परम पूज्य गुरुदेव की अनुभूतियाँ अमृततुल्य औषधि की भाँति है। वह सुझाते हैं, बताते हैं, चेताते हैं कि साधना की अविरामता ही भावी मार्ग की प्राप्ति का कारण है। साधना की अविरामता से उत्तरोत्तर सूक्ष्म होती चेतना स्वतः ही नए मार्ग के द्वार खोलती है। नया पथ प्रशस्त करती है। सच्चाई यह है कि ये अनुभूतियाँ हमारे अन्तःकरण को प्रेरित, प्रकाशित, प्रवर्तित व प्रत्यावर्तित करती हैं। इसमें उच्चस्तरीय आध्यात्मिक चेतना के अवतरण के साथ एक अपूर्व प्रत्यावर्तन घटित होता है। एक गहन रूपान्तरण की प्रक्रिया चलती

Buddhist Meditation

Image
The mental exercise known as  meditation  is found in all religious systems. Prayer is a form of discursive meditation, and in Hinduism the reciting of slokas and mantras is employed to tranquilize the mind to a state of receptivity. In most of these systems the goal is identified with the particular psychic results that ensue, sometimes very quickly; and the visions that come in the semi-trance state, or the sounds that are heard, are considered to be the end-result of the exercise. This is not the case in the forms of meditation practiced in Buddhism. There is still comparatively little known about the mind, its functions and its powers, and it is difficult for most people to distinguish between self-hypnosis, the development of mediumistic states, and the real process of mental clarification and direct perception which is the object of Buddhist mental concentration. The fact that mystics of every religion have induced on themselves states wherein they see visions and hear voices
