Yoga Creates A Balance Between The Body, Mind And Soul.

Article by Yoga Guru

Yoga is an ancient science that aims to create a balance between the body, mind and soul, thereby curing physical mental and spiritual disorders that are caused by this imbalance. In common language, yoga means union; it's a union of the individual consciousness with the super-consciousness. To be exact, yoga aims at reminding the individual of this union that already exists and has merely been forgotten. To put it simply, yoga is experiencing and knowing what already exists, not inventing anything new.

At the physical level, yoga can create a balance and harmony among the various organs and systems of the body, allowing the healing powers inherent in the body to work and cure physical ailments. At the mental level, yoga is the harmony between mind, heart and hands or between thought, speech and action. At the spiritual level, yoga aims to destroy the individual ego that stands between the individual and the cosmos, thus attaining to the ultimate truth.

Yoga is basically a set of systematically devised physical exercises that lay emphasis on balance and posture. Combined with breathing exercises they have the capacity to cure almost any ailment of the body and mind. The underlying concept of yoga is to create the situation in which the human body can function at its optimum capacity.

Yoga Asanas or positions are simple and effective body movements that massage the muscles lubricate the joints and tone the whole body. Yoga postures help to keep the body healthy and the mind peaceful. Asanas exercise the nerves, glands, ligaments, and muscles. These exercises increase flexibility and balance in the body.

Yoga poses refer to the sequence of exercises which is extremely important to get the best results. They are scientifically graded to move from the simple to the complex, to cure the body first and then move on to mental and spiritual goals.

Though it is best to begin yoga practice under the guidance of a trained yoga teacher, you can now learn to do these exercises ! at home with the help of videos and yoga software. Once you have learned the basic exercises you can make it a part of your daily routine. It's best to fix a time and place for doing yoga so that you can be regular and reap rich benefits from it. After some time you will see a sea change in yourself. Your body will become shapely, attractive and healthy; you will have a positive attitude and your worldview on life will become beautiful. You will feel blessed!

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 06:00 AM PST

Article by Tom Fazio

If you are staring out on meditation, first off is a word of congratulations. You have finally found the greatest path to true happiness and enriching inner peace. This article will now give you some vital meditation tips to make the practice an ultimately rewarding experience. Remember that mediation is not a ritual that needs you to be a monk or a devout Buddhist. This is simply an attempt to build on your inner consciousness so that you have an enhanced awareness of both your valid existence and your rightful relationship to the infinite cosmos.

At the outset, you must know several things. These mediation tips will help you establish a meditative lifestyle without any religious inclination.

1. Set aside a convenient time each day to meditate. The time should be regular and frequent in a week.

2. Determine the best person to guide you as you learn how to meditate. Whether online or in a class, the teacher you choose impacts on your attainment

3. Continually teach yourself to relax the body. The relaxation skill is the beginning of success in meditation.

4. Remember that meditation is not a task but a getaway from tasks. Be gentle on your self, patient and loving as you learn how to meditate. Do not overly exert yourself.5. Treat both yourself and others with respect so that you have inner piece even before you start meditating. Peace is the fulcrum of meditation success.

6. Avoid distractions during meditation sessions. Get away from the phones, TV's, radios, etc. Ensure that no one will come in through the door to distract you for the session's duration.

7. Start by joining a meditation group not only to expose yourself to learning experiences, but also to spice up the meditation with collective fun.

8. Whatever you do, do not forget that meditation is a process of letting go. So stop holding back and reasoning out things, just let go and you will find yourself.

From there on, the next set of meditation tips should introduce you to medi! tation p ractices perse.

a) Value of breathingMediation success is anchored on breathing and you should endeavour to learn various breathing techniques that help can you to build concentration and focus. The idea is to maximize and regulate your breathing pattern in such a way that you can easily control your thoughts.

b) Shutting off the thoughtsOnce in a meditative session, you must learn to shut of reasoning and distractions. Keep of any new thought besides what your concentration is focused on. Ensure that no new thought enters your mind uninvited. Mediation involves emptying the mind of thought and then replacing limited logic with a divine peace where everything is tranquil.

c) Consistent patternsYou must maintain your meditation routine consistently and regularly, for it to bear results. When you fall into the pattern of meditation without faltering, nothing will be impossible let alone hard to achieve.

d) Mantras

This might be the best of all meditation tips in this article. Mantras are very helpful in building concentration and gaining focus on the ideal line of visualisations. Repeating a set of sacred words and phrases many times eases the meditative journey. You are easily carried off by the chant of whichever language you use. Learn to use such conventional meditation mantras like "I am at Peace" and "all is well". You can also use Sanskrit language mantras such as "Tat Tuan Asmi" meaning 'I am that I am' or "Shanti, Shanti, Shanti" meaning 'peace, peace, peace'.

Binaural Meditation -Experience Greatly Enhanced Meditation With Binaural Beats

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 03:00 AM PST

Article by Peter Dougan

Exactly what are Binaural Beats and how are They Used in Binaural Meditation?

The scientific definition for binaural beats is; "auditory brainstem responses that occur in each hemisphere of the brain as the result of two different sound impulses (one to each ear.)" In more simple laymen's terms it is when each of our ears hears a distinct frequency sound at the same time our brain will then change the two into a different frequency.

What are a Few of the Benefits to Using Binaural Beats in Meditation?

Researchers of the effects of binaural beats on the levels of meditation have found that they are quite effective in creating very deep meditational responses. Most people who are new to meditation have found that they can find their calming center easier than they ever could, using the more traditional meditation techniques. Some people who are more experienced in meditation, (like me) are finding that deep meditation levels are found much more rapidly. We are able to reach heights of deep meditation during our sessions not previously found to be possible.

How can Binaural Meditation Help with Meditation?

Scientific studies have found that, using subjects new to the technique, after a few binaural beats meditation sessions, the subjects of the study reported experiences including; accelerated learning, increased creativity, more and better sleep, deep relaxation and even lucid dreaming. For the subjects that already had experience in other meditation methods, the use of binaural beats meditation resulted in ultra deep meditational states and an increase in psychic abilities and out of body experiences.

Upon hearing about binaural meditation I was a bit skeptical, having quite a bit of experience with meditation I did not think that, other than years of practice, there was any other way to speed up the meditation process. When I had my first experience with binaural beats I was quite surprised. I had come across a free binaural beats download while surfing the ! net one day and decided to try it, so I downloaded it and began listening to it using my headphones at my desk. I was incredibly surprised by the intense effect the recordings had on me.

As I was listening to the relaxation music I became aware of two distinct sounds being played, one in each ear, within about five minutes I slipped into a deeply relaxed meditation without even realizing it. I found myself ten minutes later staring at the computer screen in such a deep state of relaxation that I did not even realize that the recording had finished. I have repeated this process many times and I am completely confident that the science behind binaural beats meditation will work for anybody.

Binaural meditation using binaural beats will work for both people new to meditation and for people with more experience. Binaural beat meditation is a great way for anyone to experience an incredible way to relax, relieve tension and anxiety, and to help you cope with the day to day stress that everyone faces daily in their lives.

Meditation in Tibetan Buddhism

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 02:00 AM PST

Article by Sylvia Smelcer

The study of Buddhism leads us from darkness and suffering into happiness and light. Meditation is an important aspect of Buddhism. Using meditation during the study of Buddhism allows us to control our thoughts and focus the mind in order to progress on this path.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. This is a quote from Buddha.

The final destination in the study of Buddhism is Nirvana. The path to Nirvana is one step at a time. With each step, the Buddhist practitioner comes one step closer to enlightenment. Buddhists believe that it takes many lifetimes to achieve this goal, and in the meantime, we are reincarnated. But, although reaching this final destination is the goal, the path is also important. In life, the practitioner should improve their ability to meditate and study. In the meantime, the practitioner can achieve higher awareness, find inner peace, and learn to live in the present.

Buddhism is currently becoming a popular religion in the west. This is partly due to a greater awareness of religions outside of western religions, and also because of studies that show the health benefits of meditation. These discoveries have brought meditation into the mainstream, and there are those who meditate outside of Buddhism and Hinduism, with no religious convictions in mind. But with the benefits of meditation, people begin to form an interest in the religions behind meditation, both Buddhism and Hinduism.

The types of meditation taught in Buddhism are widely varied, and there are different types of meditations that can be done for different problems or obstacles in life. There are also many different Buddhist schools of thought. Each of these schools of thought has a different way of approaching meditation. But the ultimate goal, that of achieving enlightenment is the same throughout t! he diffe rent types of Buddhism.

There are different levels of meditation in Buddhism. The first level is tranquility. Tranquility allows the mind to become still, and it helps the practitioner concentrate. Mindfulness of breathing, called pranayama in yogic practices, is the first step of meditation. By focusing on the breath, the practitioner can reach a calm and tranquil state. Even psychologists teach their patients this type of basic meditation.

The second level of meditation is insight. The goal here is different than in the first type of meditation. During the insight level of meditation, the practitioner is trying to look for insights into themselves. Insight meditation helps us learn more about ourselves, and it allows us to make changes to ourselves, and how we cope with life.

Meditation teaches us to harness the mind and direct our thoughts to lead to happiness and contentment. It is not necessary to practice Buddhism to enjoy the benefits of meditation. But understand the Buddhist philosophy can enhance meditation and it will also increase the benefits received through regular meditation.

Reiki Meditation - The Four Major Forms

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 11:00 PM PST

Article by Cristian Stan

Meditation is a very important part of Reiki - a form of healing practice from Japan. This meditation has some benefits, according to Reiki practitioners, which includes clairvoyance (the ability to foresee things), greater ability of visualization, enhanced relaxation (improves self healing) and a greater awareness.

Through meditations your energy is balanced. This balance in your energy helps in your healing process as well as in healing others via "energy attunement". As with any other meditation technique you aren't supposed to force things to happen but rather to "let them flow". This way your frustrations will go away and in return you'll find the inner peace you're looking. It's like in real life - you cannot force the nature to change its course but you need to accept it anyway.

There are four major forms of Reiki meditation.

Breathing meditation - is the prelude of all the other forms. You need to breathe slowly and focus your mind to Reiki. Another form requires you to breathe normally, which somehow is opposed to the other form of breathing meditation. This form is usually used in the end of the breathing meditation as a transition from one meditative state to another.

Visualization - based meditation is another form of meditation from Reiki. The idea is to visualize the Reiki symbol or another object with your 'third eye' as clearly as possible. This form of meditation is done only by those practitioners who have the second degree in Reiki training. Another thing you must visualize in this meditation form is to see your goal. Reiki helps you in achieving your day to day goal, besides healing you.

Postural meditation - the third form of Reiki meditation. In this form the practitioner can obtain the meditative state using various postures. This form of meditations is mostly used as a prelude to the other Reiki meditation forms, like breathing meditation which itself is a prelude form of other types of Reiki meditation. This form of meditation may be practic! ed sitti ng or even lying down. Other postures may be used as well.

Moment to moment meditation is the last form of Reiki Meditation. It requires devotion and manifest in the day to day roles of the practitioner. This is based on understanding things like avoiding worry or anger. Understanding and dispatching from these things along with devotion in one's vocation are the keys in a moment to moment meditation form. This form requires a detached attitude from the things mentioned above. You must understand and do all these things in order to be a good Reiki practitioner.

Meetings With Remarkable Men (Part 1 of 11)

Filmed in 1979 by Peter Brook. A classic spiritual movie of GI Gurdjieff struggles beginning with his childhood until his discovery of The Fourth Way, an ancient spiritual tradition that used sacred movements as meditation. The story in this film is based on Gudjieff's book with the same title, which is the second book of his trilogy: "All and Everything". During his long career, director Peter Brook has conducted a wide range of theatrical experiments, pushing audiences and performers well beyond their typical experience of theater, in an effort to achieve not a temporary catharsis but a transcendent, transformative event. As the narrator of THE MAHABHARATA says, "If you listen carefully, at the end, you'll be somebody else." This interest in transformation that has characterized the latter part of Brook's career continues with this adaptation of the autobiography of famed mystic GI Gurdjieff, which stars Dragan Maksimovic. Driven by a sense of unwavering dedication to unraveling the meaning of human existence, he journeys throughout the most unattainable areas of the East, encountering an array of Hindu fakirs, Buddhist monks, whirling dervishes, and gurus of every stripe. In search of enlightenment, he climbs the Himalayas, walks across the desert on stilts, and uncovers evidence of an ancient order, guards of an arcane wisdom. Most fascinating, perhaps, is the form of dance he created as a form of meditation and later taught in the West. A film that may be best ...

All About Meditation Techniques and Meditation in India

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST

Article by Lily Candice

The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines meditation as "...the practice of thinking deeply, usually in silence, especially for religious reasons or in order to make your mind calm" as one of its two descriptions for the word "meditation". This is the closest to the actuality, as meditation need not be involved with religious purposes in any way. For our purposes, meditation will be defined as a discipline in which the practitioner attempts to replace the reflexive thinking based on antecedents and other social conditioning with a deeper state of relaxation and awareness. This can be achieved, as described in our earlier definition, by thinking deeply, in silence.

The origins of meditation are closely tied to religious practices, mostly in the Buddhist religions native to India, as well as other forms of religion from all over the world. There are in existence several methods of meditation such as those developed from Buddhist religious practice, the Baha'i faith, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and the Zen practices native to Japan; amongst many others. The modern day practice of meditation has been developed, however, through the efforts of several centers mostly in India such as that provided by Z Meditation.

To some people, meditation is looked upon as some obscure, even diabolical practice to be avoided. Yet some others view it as a mystical process reserved for those who are out of touch with reality. These are erroneous views. Meditation is something that can be, and should be practiced by everyone as the health benefits are immense. If we can come to terms with the fact that most of our pains, both physical and mental, have their root causes in the turmoil that is causing a dark cloud to swirl through our minds, it will be easy to embrace a practice that produces a clear mind, filled instead with peace and love.

Another misconception about meditation is that the student will need to wear some strange clothes, assume certain postures, and learn some obscure language. Whi! le it is necessary to maintain a straight posture in order to ensure concentration, (the cross legged, upright sitting position is highly favored), it will not be essential to be in any other position as meditation can be done almost anywhere you are. As for language, the best language for meditation is ones own mother tongue as meaning is also important to the process. Please let us not even talk about clothing!

The process of meditation which is supposed to instill a sense of self awareness, calm and peace over the mind of the practitioner may be learnt at the Z Meditation center which is located in a small town in the Himalayas. The Z Meditation method of meditation is based on deep deconditioning enquiry and radiant mantras. The teachers at Z Meditation have developed these techniques over many years, and many individuals have benefited from their exposure to and practice of these methods. These courses may be taken by making a booking for one of their many meditation retreats, via online courses, or by reading and practicing the methods described in the several meditation books which they make available (these will require a little more discipline on the part of the student).

The Ultimate Result of Practicing Proper Meditation Techniques

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 09:00 PM PST

Article by Lily Candice

A large number of people worldwide are beginning to realize the benefits of proper meditation - the freeing of the mind from clutter into a place of peace and love for all beings and things. This murky mindset oftentimes leads to or aggravates health issues, which is why it is important to embrace good Meditation Techniques as the individual seeks to remove herself from wrong and dangerous conditioning. Meditation techniques differ from place to place; however, there are a number of meditation techniques that are common to most schools of meditation, a heritage of India.

It is very important to note however that a good meditation technique is not all that will be required to practice meditation properly, efficiently and effectively. The student of meditation must come with the strong and decisive conviction that she really wants to be free from the unwanted baggage and clutter that has hitherto blocked her being able to enjoy the love and happiness that is actually achievable in living. It is when the student has a great desire to overcome that a proper meditation technique will be able to help her achieve the seemingly impossible. This first step towards freedom can be reached when the individual begins to realize the futility of other means and becomes aware of the self awareness he will be able to achieve by embracing meditation using ideal meditation techniques.

The meditation techniques employed at Z Meditation include mostly deep deconditioning techniques and the use of radiant mantras. These meditation techniques are mostly taught at their retreat in a small town in the Himalayas, or through online meditation courses. To the beginner however, there are some basic practices that may be practiced that will get the individual ready for the period of retreat or online study. These simple meditation techniques may be practiced almost anywhere, the continuous doing of which will amaze the student in how much of changes she will observe in her well-being.

One of the more common ! meditati on techniques involves sitting in the crossed leg position, or even sitting in a chair. The important thing is that the head, neck and back should be in a straight, upright position to allow for a clear mind. In this position, the student should concentrate on his breathing, both in and out, while consciously putting the normal turmoil in his mind into the background. This meditation technique may be difficult at first with the student finding herself drifting back into bothersome thoughts. But as the student perseveres in concentrating on the rhythm of the breathe, she gains a peace that allows clearer thoughts and prepares her for more intense meditation techniques.

The ultimate result of practicing proper meditation techniques may be likened to the waters of a lake. When there is turmoil, the waters are muddy and unclear, and one cannot see through it. However, when the waters are calm, the murk and dirt will settle and the lake becomes clear to the view. The correct meditation techniques, practiced diligently, will clear the murk and dirt from your mind, allowing the mind to embrace purer, noble thoughts instead of dwelling on the mundane.

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 08:00 PM PST

Article by Lily Candice

Meditation has been practiced for centuries in India and there a numerous schools and forms of meditation available in India, so much so that the practice of meditation and its teaching have somewhat become a part of India's tourism industry. Countless people from all over the world who sincerely desire to embrace the teachings and practice of meditation and thereby gaining a freedom of the mind, soul and body, flock to India on an annual basis to learn how to go about practicing these deeply gratifying methods that allow the individual to perceive things and situations clearly and developing the ability to cope with the daily vicissitudes of living. Meditation as practiced in India is an established industry.

There are several approaches to the practice of meditation in India, most of which have their origins in the age old Buddhist religion with several variations that have been developed by people who have become experts in the practice and teaching of meditation in India.

Z Meditation Center is a meditation center in India, where the basis of its teachings and practices is on Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras. These methods have been very finely tuned into an excellent form of meditation in India whereby the student will learn through a few easy steps and processes, the manner in which to free his or her mind from conditioning which has been developed into their minds for many years and cloud the way in which they perceive the world around them and the situations they face on a daily basis. The freedom permitted by engaging in Z Meditation's form of meditation in India will not only free the mind, but el evate the soul and bring healing and flexibility to the body.

Most meditation centers in India are located in serene and quiet environments, an essential prerequisite for the proper practice of meditation. As an example, the Z Meditation center is located in a small town in the well known Himalayas with breathtaking views and a peace that will hardly be matched! elsewhe re. These features are what make the taking of a meditation vacation in India quite appealing to a large number of people - they are getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily city life, and are at the same time learning a skill which will help them to cope better when they return to work from their vacation.

The decision to take a break from work for a vacation is a very good one. The sincere seeker who wishes to elevate his or herself into a new consciousness will go a step further by applying for a meditation vacation in India to avail herself of the numerous healthy benefits of such a vacation, while not losing out on the tranquility expected from such a time out. The expense involved is also very much affordable, several rungs below what one might expect to spend on other types of getaways.

However, the potential student needs to be sincerely in the belief of the want to return home to a place of happiness, love and peace; something most of us inwardly and unconsciously desire. Thus will she receive the benefits of meditation in India.

Yoga Helping Autism Children

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 07:00 PM PST

Article by Yoga Born

signs of growth are all around

I am thrilled to grow the PBI Learning Center's Yoga Therapy Program and "in home" Programs. As a Certified Yoga Teacher I look forward to helping create the best experience possible for the children in the Autism Spectrum.

I love being outdoors to see the signs of growth! As seeds make breakthroughs from their hard shell exterior. We see signs of this growth as they climb through the earth to blossom and fruit. Reminding us of the breakthroughs in our lives. When we stick to our vision with tenacity and resilience we grow and achieve.

Yoga Primer... Yoga is a scientific system of physical and mental practice that originated in India more the 3,000 years ago. Its purpose is to help each one of us achieve our highest potential and to experience enduring health and happiness. With yoga, we can extend our healthy productive years far beyond the accepted norm and at the same time, improve the quality of our lives.

The branch of yoga that forms the main focus of my teaching work with both adults and children is called Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga begins by working with the body on a structural level, helping to align the vertebrae, increase flexibility, and strengthen muscles and tendons. At the same time, internal organs are toned and rejuvenated; the epidermal, digestive, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems are purified of toxins and waste matter; the nervous and endocrine systems are balance and toned; and the brain cells are nourished and stimulated, and a great sense of overall well-being.

Yoga Methods… During the Yoga Classes for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders in PBI Center and "in home" I'll focus on using the following Yoga Methods... (1) Asanas, or body postures; (2) pranayama, or breathing exercises; (3) music and sound therapy, and (4) deep relaxation.

Successful Family Living... I also encourage a least one parent to enroll in an adult yoga class. This helps to orient you! with th e experiences your child has and to provide you with an appreciation of the techniques and benefits of a yoga practice. Being consistent is much more effective in the long run rather than practicing yoga once in a while. I recommend that you allow your child at least one hour after eating before beginning a yoga session. If the child eats before the practice please make it a moderate portion. Loose-fitting clothes are recommended so movements are not restricted in any asanas or pranayama.

I look forward to teaching yoga methods to the children at PBI Learning Center and "in home" to boost their level of group participation and developing independence.

Meditation Courses for Genuine Seeker of Peace, Love and Happiness

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 06:00 PM PST

Article by Lily Candice

Meditation courses are a means by which the genuine seeker of peace, love and happiness can achieve her aim through the application of the true knowledge. This true knowledge is found by applying meditation techniques offered in several types and forms of meditation courses available. The practice and art of meditation is native to India as well as some other parts of the world, but no where else are there available such a preponderance of well structured meditation courses as obtains in India. Meditation may be described as a process of activities through which the individual gains a calmness of the mind, resulting in a heightened state of peace with total, positive health and spiritual benefits, resulting in an ability to better cope with the difficulties that are presented by life and living.

We are all buffeted by the storms of life on a daily basis as adults. This turmoil introduces a number of negative health and spiritual problems if we do not know how to adequately handle them.

It is to be expected that life will always toss you a curve ball or a spinner from time to time. Any one who does not believe this is in denial and needs to be aware that life is indeed a roller coaster. What better policy than to be prepared for these conditions or situations, much like the experienced cricket batsman who expects all manner of delivery and therefore hones his skills to better cope with such and still deliver hit after hit. Learning how to meditate by engaging yourself in meditation courses will be a starting point to begin and can be taken up from there through daily practice till your mind reaches a state of health which enables you to handle most exigencies of life that will surely come.

Meditation courses are available as an on site, school-like short course at meditation centers in India where the student is taken through everything she needs to know in a concentrated program. These meditation courses are usually carried out within meditation centers located in serene and ple! asant su rroundings at an affordable cost to the average individual. This is available from Z Meditation who offer various course lengths at the Z Meditation center within the Himalayas, where Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras are the techniques employed in the approach to reaching the desired heightened state of awareness.

Those who are unable to take the time out to travel for meditation courses on site are however not left out as a good number of meditation centers offer online meditation courses where the student is taken through the processes and taught the basics of meditation. The Z Meditation Online course which costs less than some gourmet dishes is a two week program that requires only about 2 hours of study a day, coupled with written assignments that have to be submitted to the center online.

There is a requirement that the individual wishing to learn the practice of mediation by taking any of the available meditation courses needs to be sincerely convinced of her conviction and the benefits accruable to her which are: a heightened state of awareness, allowing the mind to be at peace, living in love and happiness with oneself and other people.

Yoga Is Useful For All Age-groups

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST

Article by Yoga Freak

Yoga is a priceless treasure now available to all. It is a form of exercise that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is widely recognized as a scientific method to stretch, tone, strengthen, and relax the entire body, inside and out, rewarding the practitioner with glowing health. Yogasanas are safe and effective for people of all ages. Yoga is an exercise regimen that anyone can practice, no matter how old or young. Yoga is an ancient practice that benefits every age and body type.

Yoga for Kids: Today's kids are under a lot of stress as compared to the previous generation - homework, peer pressure, never-ending after-school pursuits and interests. Yoga has been found to be very effective in addressing these problems. The practices of yoga not only help to keep the young body strong and supple but also incorporate mental activities and disciplines that help to develop attention and concentration, and stimulate the creative abilities that are latent within the child.

Yoga for Teens: The teenage years can be the most difficult years, both physically and emotionally. A teenager's life is continually in a state of change. During puberty and the later teen years, enormous and rapid changes take place in the body and mind. The yoga program for teenagers should be so designed as to minimize the negative effects of hormonal changes that they inevitably go through. Sun salutation is an amazing asana series that would leave them both energized and calm at the same time. The shoulder stand is wonderful for balancing the hormones, and together with the plough pose and the fish pose, it is most effective.

Yoga for Adults: The biggest problem with today's adults is of managing stress. It is a known fact that stress is the cause of ninety percent of aliments striking humans. One has to juggle so many variables to keep oneself competitive in his work place. An adult has to play many roles simultaneously, viz. father, son, husband, subordinate, boss, etc. This takes a toll on hi! s work-l ife balance. The practice of yoga balances the body, mind and spirit and ensures complete well being.

Yoga for Elders: It has been proved beyond doubt that yoga is anti-ageing. It retards the ageing process. No one can escape from the clutches of the ageing process. But it is possible to avoid the ills of ageing with yoga. One can be as fit as a fiddle even at the later years of life by doing yoga. Most elders complain about various physical conditions including weak bones, muscle cramps, back pain, osteoporosis, joint pains, and decreased mobility. There are several yoga exercises specifically designed to address these issues.

Yoga offers a wide range of benefits depending on which point of your life you decide to practice it. There are several variants of yoga postures and exercises intended for different age groups. Every person, irrespective of age, can practice yoga and reap its benefits.

Why The Best Meditation Requires Feedback

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 02:00 PM PST

Meditation
by ario_

Article by Carol E. McMahon, Ph.D.

What do you gain from meditation? Consider what could be. Imagine a "world of peace and ease," yours without changing a thing. Imagine perfect mental balance: "a balance of mind never upset by any event under the canopy of heaven." Meditation holds promise of: "Great Liberation;" "Great Knowledge;" "Great tranquility." Great promise however is rarely fulfilled.

Most who meditate gain rest and relaxation, and little more. The shortfall is due to a flaw in traditional methods. This flaw prevents the growth of practice skill, holding benefit to the beginner level. (Some get even less effective with practice.) Meditation's flaw is the lack of feedback necessary for learning. Let me explain.

Meditation: What's Missing?

To a research psychologist with an interest in skill learning, meditation is missing something. Practicing any skill leads to improvement only if you can see what you are doing. In basketball for instance, shooting hoops in darkness would only waste time because knowledge of results is required for learning. The rule applies equally to meditation.

Shooting Hoops In Darkness? Why Meditation Requires Feedback

In meditation, attention is the skill you need to develop. Benefits increase with power of concentration.

While attending however (to your breath; a mantra, etc), attention slips away unseen. Like shooting hoops in darkness, you practice meditation without knowing you're on target. You lose attention without knowing you are losing it, and find out only later when you wake from a daydream.

All traditional methods share this flaw. They lack feedback. They offer no way to monitor attention, yet amazingly, the necessary feedback is right before our eyes and has been there all along, unrecognized. Here's how to find it.

Finding Feedback Right Before Your Eyes!

Throughout meditation's long history, sensations of light have been noted. "Illumination" is described; light is seen at enlightenment. We failed however, to see the cause of ! this lig ht. We never knew it was visual feedback - the very thing needed to excel at meditation.

Light sensations are produced when focused attention holds the eyes still. Here a "fixed image" (an image held in the same place on the eyes retinas) uses up photo pigment (like exposing photographic film). Retinal fatigue follows, and with it distortion in the form of light.

This light signals attention. It tells you you're on target. When your mind wanders, your eyes wander too and the light disappears, signaling loss of attention. Use the light as feedback and you can see what you are doing. You gain the same advantage as seeing your target shooting hoops. Practice skill improves automatically. The key to great benefit is right before your eyes.

The Feedback Meditation Method How-To

Producing feedback is as easy as gazing at a spot on the floor. Focusing Discs however, specially designed to facilitate feedback, are freely available at the Straight Line Meditation website. These assure beginners instant success. Focus on the bull's eye and feedback comes within seconds. Attend to the light and you anchor attention. Then you can hold attention the way you would grab a rope for a tow. You're taken straight to the best meditation.

How Feedback Upgrades Meditation Practice

Feedback upgrades meditation practice by eliminating the shortfalls of traditional methods. It puts an end to: * Wasted practice time. (With traditional methods, even with the best intentions, time is spent dreaming and drifting when you'd hoped for attention.)* Slow, or even no practice skill development. ("After twenty years," warned a Zen Master, "you can finally say you've begun to learn how to sit.") * Slow, unreliably progress. (Traditional methods yield slow, unreliable benefit. "Just sit," says Buddhism, "Maybe after many lifetimes you will come upon the truth.")

These shortfalls are due to the inefficiency of traditional methods. Feedback counters the problem with precision self-guidance. It gives ! you a pe rsonal (meditation) trainer with a constantly vigilant eye. The outcome is fast, sure, practice skill development and productive use of every minute of practice time.

It's how well you meditate (not necessarily how long), that determines your benefit. Feedback lets you trade hours spent meditating for minutes on target. Great benefit awaits the best meditation, and the best meditation requires feedback.

Meditation Instruction: Step--Step Instructions to Teach You How to Meditate Correctly

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 01:00 PM PST

Article by Lisa Hepner

Many people want to know how to meditate. They want a step-by-step example on how to meditate. So I'm going to "walk" you through a meditation step by step as you read this article.

You may want to take a moment and put on some soft soothing music. Music selection during meditation is very important. You do not want to play Bach, Mozart or Beethoven during meditation as songs from these composers actually increase brain activity and stimulate creativity. Make sure to pick calming music for your meditation.

Next it's important to not have any distractions. You must lock yourself in a quiet room and anticipate any "future" distractions. Let your family know that you are meditating and not to bother you. If there's an outside distraction going on like someone mowing their lawn, you will not be able to meditate. Alternatively, if you are on good terms with your neighbor you could ask him/her to not mow the lawn during your meditation.

Before starting to meditate you want to make sure you have correct meditation posture. Sit on the floor cross-legged. But here's where most people get it wrong. If you're right-handed, sit with your right leg on top and if you're left-handed, sit with your left leg on top. If you're ambidextrous, I'm not sure what to do. Now take your index finger and thumb and touch them together. Make sure to NOT use your middle finger. Using your middle finger hampers the meditation experience. When you close your eyes, make sure your eyeballs are pointing upward. Tilt your neck exactly ten degrees upward. You may want to get a protractor to make sure you have the exact angle. You can buy a cheap protractor atthe local store, or borrow one from your child. Do not have the neck tilting less or more than ten degrees.

Now that you've got correct meditation posture, start by breathing through your nose. Not your mouth. Obviously if you are stuffy, have a cold or allergies and cannot breathe through your nose, you won't be able to meditate. Wait until your nasal pa! ssages a re clear before attempting to meditate.

And here's the most important thing of all: Don't Think!

So by now you may have realized that "I'm pulling your leg." And I hope you take this in the light, playful way it was intended. But it's absolutely

laughable at some of the things people think they need to go through to meditate properly. You don't need to do any of the above. In fact, you can meditate in a crowded mall, meditate while standing and with your eyes open. You can meditate under any circumstance in any situation. You don't need special music. You don't need to lock yourself away in isolation!

Meditation is simply being fully present in the moment, and in that moment experiencing the truth of who you are beyond your mind, body, thoughts. I'm going to invite you to throw out all technical things you may have heard about meditation and to take moments throughout the day just to bask in the beauty of who you are!

The Most Basic Benefits of Visiting Meditation Centers

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 12:00 PM PST

Article by Lily Candice

In India, and as well in other parts of the world, there exist meditation centers. Meditation centers are a place where individuals from whatever background - religious, vocational or cultural - may go to experience first hand knowledge about the practice of meditation. As the name implies, meditation is the primary activity carried out at meditation centers, with the teaching of the way of life to new students. Meditation is simply a process through which a person may apply some principles in order to achieve a certain freedom of the mind which results in a calm, clear mind with the attributes of feelings of love, peace and happiness. This state of mind allows the individual to be better equipped to handle and deal with the exigencies of life, which if we are all to be sincere to ourselves is a reality of existence.One of the meditation centers of note is that being run by Z Meditation in Dharamsala, a small town in the well known Himalayas, reputed for it serenity and closeness to nature. At this meditation center, seekers are welcome from anywhere in the world to begin to benefit from the rational and analytical techniques which are employed in the teaching of meditation principles. One of the most basic benefits of visiting meditation centers is the opportunity of spending quality time in the location where several people have meditated over the years. There would have developed in these places, a kind of positive spiritual energy which may be felt by the more receptive of minds. This spiritual energy goes a long way in helping the seeker to tune into oneself and begin to imbibe the patterns of thought necessary for proper meditation.Most meditation centers have developed their own unique approaches to the learning and practice of meditation, most coming from the ancient practice of the Buddhist religion native to India. These developments have come to the stage where there is little or no religious affiliations anymore, processes following a more holistic approach. At Z Meditation, the techn! iques em ployed are known as Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras, extremely powerful and efficient methods to use in achieving a detachment from deep rooted conditioned thinking patterns and the consequent behavior that will result from such thought patterns.There is no real prerequisite to admission at meditation centers, being open to all. The underlying conditions are very simply the personal desire of the student to be free, and the discipline to practice the techniques to be taught at the center, and on a consistent basis on leaving the meditation centers. Meditation, much like most processes of learning are not merely for certificates of attendance to display and show off; but rather for the benefit of the knowledge and the ability to use it to make a positive change in our personal lives.Most meditation centers, though located in remote and sometimes supposedly difficult to reach locations, are mostly within a few miles of a major airport, and the organization of such meditation centers will include airport concierge services to take the burden off the student from far away who may easily get lost. Meditation centers are a sure way for you to develop the skills necessary to enable the individual free herself from unnecessary suffering.

Graham Hancock's "Quest For The Lost Civilization" **FULL MOVIE**

Graham Hancock's "Quest For The Lost Civilization" (1998) Heaven's Mirror (50 min.) bit.ly Forgotten Knowledge (50 min.) bit.ly Ancient Mariners (50 min.) bit.ly In this set of three videotapes, writer Graham Hancock traverses the world and explains his controversial theory that an ancient civilization, highly intelligent people who sailed the planet as early as 10500 BC, spread advanced astronomical knowledge and built ancient observatories. Skeptics may scoff, but Hancock earnestly points out similarities in giant stone structures in the Egyptian desert and Cambodian jungles, and on Easter Island and in Micronesia, he points out what he considers evidence of an ancient society of seafarers. His ideas may seem utterly bizarre at first, but Hancock presents them in an understated and good-natured manner, and he also makes clever use of computer graphics and aerial photography to illustrate the startling similarities in ancient structures found from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific. Hancock raises some puzzling questions, and even if you don't buy his arguments, bolstered though they are by mathematical equations and astronomical diagrams, the Quest for the Lost Civilization is an entertaining mixture of archaeology, astronomy, and speculation.

Dress Comfortably for Yoga

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 10:00 AM PST

Article by Nico Yoga Clothes & Sportswear

Yoga is a life-science; rather than just an exercise, yoga is a way of life. The true practitioners of yoga will live and breathe in yogic methods every waking – and even sleeping – moment of their lives. And it is true that yoga prolongs lives only when it is done in the right way. That is the reason simply understanding the various steps of yoga and trying to contort your body in an apparent imitation of what you see is not enough. Yoga is not just about putting your legs on top of your head and your shoulder between your legs – it is more about spiritual ascension and letting the mind relax. This happens only when each aspect of yoga is conducted perfectly – from the correct way of breathing during the asana to the clothes you wear when practicing yoga.Practice of yoga entails doing various types of body positions, ranging from subtle poses to more complicated ones. That's why it is necessary to consider the kind of clothing to wear during yoga practice so that you can get the most out of it. The main thing to consider is comfort. Your clothes should allow you to move freely. Otherwise they can obstruct the circulation of blood in your body. Try wearing loose clothing or clothes made of elastic materials like spandex. Aside from Yoga, you can also use this kind of clothing during your Meditation practice.There are certain important points that must be looked out for in yoga clothes. The yoga clothes must be loose-fitting. They must have a smooth enough flow to move with the body as it moves. Yoga clothes of Cotton are a very good choice, and it can be blended with other fabrics to add to its strength. Also, cotton allows the body to breathe. Cotton blended with hemp is also a very good choice. It is also important that yoga clothes must not be in too bright colors. That can distract from the meditative approach of the science. Go for whites and pastel colors, at least for the tops. Short and long clothes do not matter. Most people are quite comfortable practicing yoga in their shorts, but! there i s no harm if long pants are worn, provided that they do not obstruct the movements of the body. Consider wearing shorts. This way, you can see if you knees ankles and feet are properly aligned when performing yoga. Men might wear T-shirts with loose fitting necks and short sleeves. Another option is the tank tops. It is important that the tops are not too loose or they will make movement difficult. These can be ideally complimented with shorts or loose pants held by a drawstring. Women have a large option of yoga wear, from bras to tank tops to tees. They can compliment them with shorts, capris, drawstring pants or even skirts if they are comfortable with them.How you look in your clothes is also important. Knowing that you look good in your clothes will make you feel more positive about yourself, and a positive outlook can help you succeed in Yoga. Now it is not a big deal, as you can go online shopping to find out which suits you more.
