Yoga And Meditation
What is meditation?
Meditation derives from the Latin words Mederi and meditari. Mederi meaning is to heal and meditari meaning is to think. Relaxation for the brain. Meditation means awareness. Meditation takes its form in many ways, being aware of your breathing, lying in darkness listening to rain falling, sitting outdoors listening to the birds, in fact it can be anything that eases you, anything that does not distract your mind from the moment.
It occurs when you are only aware of the moment you feel free, when the mind is scatter free, true inner peace. Meditation is a way of life, it is not prayer.
Meditation has become popular in the modern world with a variety of people. Although there are many beneficial aspects in meditating, it still has to be properly understood.
In yoga, meditation is one of the 5 principles to a healthier being; it can be truly attained by going through several stages. Your personal state of mind, your posture, and youre breathing. What follows is relaxation when your mind and body move into the more advanced stages of meditation.
The advanced stages include deeper concentration, reflection, and total immersion. You don't have to be able to perfect one of these stages in order to move on to the next. Effectively meditation works using all of the stages integrated. There are instructors who will concentrate on one stage rather than all, but whichever one works for you, use it.
