Mantra Meditation is a meditation technique that develops concentration through repetition of a sound vibration. This meditation technique, when practiced more often, establishes a state of transcendance. What happens is that the mind starts to vibrate with the sound vibration and eventually becomes absorbed by the mantra. When this happens, consciousness is lifted to a higher level. This is transcendance.

Here is the article on Mantra Meditation:

Mantra Meditation

I included some general info about this form of meditation and I included a part called: “Instructions In Effortless Mantra Meditation.” This part will provide you with some short yet decent instructions on how to start effortless mantra meditation.

Many of the concentrative forms of meditation deal with forcing the mind into a corner until it surrenders itself to your command. Mindless meditations only aim for going directly beyond the mind. Meditation on a mantra is somewhere in between. You do hold an object in mind, a sound vibration, but all you need to do is keep listening to it and let everything else happen on its own. You have to be patient and listen but you don’t need to force the mind. Just let everything be as you listen to your gentle mantra sound.

On Line Yoga Moves is a new page on yoga mind control. The first in multiple yoga instruction videos online to follow. These videos show Yoga ‘moves’ on line through a couple of videos. Yoga moves are several Yoga Asanas in a row. Repetition of these ancient postures greatly improve your body’s flexibility as well as your focus and bodily health.

You can watch these videos here: On Line Yoga Moves

There are many many asanas (postures) in Yoga science and practice, however, many of them are deviates of a couple of fundamental basic asanas. My suggestion is to learn those basic asanas and practice them on a regular basis instead of getting lost in the diversity and multitude of yoga postures.

When you put several of these asanas in a row, as is done in for example the famous Yoga Sun Salutation, they become Yoga Moves, which you can watch on line at yoga-mind-control.com.

The goal of on line yoga moves and asanas in general is to get in a state of peace and tranquility. When your mind is absorbed in your body when in a posture, it becomes one-pointed and focussed. No stress and duality disturbs the mind when fully absorbed by the asanas.

Breathing is an important aspect in hatha yoga. Not only in the practice of pranayama is breathing and breath awareness most essential, in the yoga asanas breathing is just as important to fully relax the body. These on line yoga moves remove toxins in the body and when done with proper attention, they will make your body ‘lighter’ and higher your body’s vibrational level.

When practicing these yoga moves, put all of your awareness into your body. If you feel tention somewhere, breath deeply in and out as you put all of your gentle awareness in the specific limb/muscle that needs attention. You can visualize light if you wish.

The aspect of asanas that come in handy in mastering the mind, is that the body is always there. While you are in an asana or in one of these on line yoga moves, the mind may run here and there, but your physical practice always gives your mind an anchor point to return to. Constantly when it runs, it has to return to the body to keep it in balance or make it move again. Eventually the mind will come to ease if you keep returning attention into the body.

Goodluck practicing hatha yoga. Remember, these are just preparatory steps to the true meaning of yoga. Nevertheless, you can apply the higher stages of Yoga (concentration and meditation) onto these yoga moves, asanas and Yoga Positions for Beginners.

Showing Compassion is something that many of us find relatively difficult to do, even to those that are suffering. In order to honestly show compassion, we first need to feel compassion. Imagine someone gets angry at you because they are suffering and being all caught up in the emotion they don’t see a proper way of channeling their suffering, so they project it at you in the form of anger. They blame your for things. Can you maintain a peace of mind? Can you truly continue to feel compassion for that other person? Ask yourself..

This thought for the week is about Feeling and Showing Compassion towards those that are suffering. I know it has been almost a month since I published the previous Weekly Thought, so we could better call this one thought for the month. I’ll try to stay more up to date from now on, but you will notice that the publishing of these weekly thoughts will vary abit.

If I don’t feel enough inspiration to write some new weekly thought, I will either skip a week, or maybe publish something a little smaller than I did so far. Maybe a couple of quotes of a nice video.

Here is this week’s thought:

Weekly Thought #4: Key to Freedom#2: Showing Compassion

Compassion is the second of the in total four Keys to Freedom. So far we have discussed how to be friendly towards the happy, this time we talk about feeling and showing compassion towards those that are suffering.

As promised, this week’s weekly thought explains the first of the four keys of Patañjali’s Yoga Sutra #1.33: Friendliness towards those who are happy.

The four categories in which Patañjali divided human mental attitudes/moods, are countered, or neutralized by four other states. One more time to make you memorize it well, here are the four moods that often disturb and influence our own mental state:

1. People who are happy
2. People who are suffering
3. People who act virtuous
4. People who act wicked

The following are the mental attitudes (Keys to freedom) to apply to each of these moods in similar order:

1. Friendliness
2. Compassion
3. Delightfullness
4. Indifference

As I said, this week’s weekly thought discusses the first Key to Freedom: Friendliness.

Whenever we experience a disturbance of our minds due to an encounter with a happy person, we should become aware of that disturbance and gently transform it into a state of friendliness towards these happy people. Jealousy towards others and discontentment with our selves, our abilities, our qualities, our posessions and otherwise, are the cause for our mental disturbances when we see happy people. Friendliness is the key to freedom here.

Here is the article of this week’s weekly thought:

Weekly Thought #3: Key to Freedom #1: Friendliness

Enjoy, contemplate, and apply this week’s thought on a daily basis for maximum benefit.

Love & Light
