Today Yoga is in vogue. Everybody wants to do Yoga. Many people considered that there is no difference between yoga and meditation. For the beginners and the uninformed, I would like to explain how and  what is the difference between yoga and meditation . Meditation and Yoga are related in the sense; Meditation is a section or a part of Yoga. WHAT IS YOGA? First of all, Yoga is not a religion.   Yoga is a way of life  that aims to remove obstacles and suffering from life to attain the highest spiritual goal ‘Samadhi’ or self-realisation or union with higher consciousness. Yoga entails different paths and practices that help in achieving the desired results. It is very unfortunate that the commercial fitness industry is trying to use Yoga as a gimmick for materialistic gains and sales purposes. Yoga is not all about stretching and adjunct to intense physical exercises. Yoga is much more than that- Yoga is for everyday living. It is a holistic approach to hea...

ध्यान की विधियों को दो श्रेणियों में विभाजित किया जा सकता है –  सक्रिय ध्यान की विधियाँ और निष्क्रिय ध्यान की विधियाँ । सक्रिय ध्यान वह ध्यान है जिसमें शरीर सक्रिय होता है, क्रियाशील होता है, शरीर में गति होती है; और निष्क्रिय ध्यान वह होता है जिसमें शरीर स्थिर होता है, शांत होता है, विश्राम में होता है, इसमें कोई गति नहीं होती । सक्रिय ध्यान सक्रिय ध्यान की जितनी विधियाँ हैं उनमें से पहली विधि के बारे में चर्चा करेंगे, जो की है ओशो की सक्रिय ध्यान विधि यानि डाइनैमिक मेडिटेशन । इस विधि के चार चरण हैं । पहली विधि- पहली विधि  में बहुत बलपूर्वक साँस छोड़नी है , पूरी त्वरा में, पूरी शक्ति उढ़ेल देनी है । बस साँस बाहर छोड़नी है, बस साँस छोड़ना है । जितनी ऊर्जा से आप साँस छोड़ सकते हैं, छोड़ें । अपने आपको उढ़ेल दीजिए । ओशो कहते हैं कि साँस लेने की चिन्ता न करें, शरीर स्वयं साँस ले लेगा । बस आप छोड़ने की चिन्ता करें । साँस छोड़ें पूरे ज़ोर से, पूरी तन्मयता से, पूरी सघनता से, पूरी तीव्रता से, पूरी मस्ती से, अपनी पूरी हस्ती से, बस साँस छोड़ें । तो इस चरण में 15 मिनिट इस...

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. Or you might notice the air moving in and out through your nose or mouth. With each breath, guide attention as best as you’re able back to your breathing. Breathing in… and breathing out. 3- Be kind to your busy mind. Almost immediately, and many times over, we’ll find ourselves distracted. Our attention will always wander—that’s what it does. 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...

What Meditation is all about Meditation may be an ancient tradition, but it’s still practiced in cultures all over the world to create a sense of calm and inner harmony. Although the practice has ties to many different religious teachings, meditation is less about faith and more about altering consciousness, finding awareness, and achieving peace. These days, with the greater need to reduce stress in the midst of our busy schedules and demanding lives, meditation is increasing in popularity. Although there isn’t a right or wrong way to meditate, it’s important to find a practice that meets your needs and complements your personality. There are six popular types of meditation practice: Mindfulness meditation Spiritual meditation Focused meditation Movement meditation Mantra meditation Transcendental meditation Not all meditation styles are right for everyone. These practices require different skills and mindsets. How do you know which practice is right for you? ...

“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 wa...
