ABOUT THE MEDITATION
Our Consciousness is scattered in all directions. That is why we feel fragmented and lacking. If we increase our sensitivity and direct our Consciousness inwards, we can integrate and move into the higher planes of our Being. Sensitivity can play a major role in integrating our Consciousness. It can take us directly to our center deep inside.
This technique helps in creating a beautiful and graceful body. It creates self-confidence and helps you face life with a balanced mind.
When your body is in a state of perfect physical balance, automatically your awareness falls within. Not only will your body feel steady and comfortable, your mind will also be free from the body! You will experience the space in which you are totally balanced, where you are beyond intellect and emotion, where you are beyond the identity you are showing to the outer world and to yourself.
You will experience deep peace just by balancing the body,
This state is called samatva, perfect balance in body and mind.
You may be thinking, 'How can I experience peace just by balancing the body?' Just do it, then you will see!
DURATION: 10 minutes
Step 1:
Sit cross-legged on the floor. If this is uncomfortable, sit on a chair but without resting your back.
Keep your spine erect.
If you are sitting in a chair, do not rest the weight of your body on your feet. Do not let your feet touch the ground. Put your weight on your spine instead.
If you are sitting on the floor, try consciously to lift the calf muscles a bit so that your weight is shifted to your spine. Initially it will be difficult because we never balance our body.
Now bring your awareness to the two points of your body which are pressing down on the ground. Become aware of the mooladhara, the two points at the base of the spine which are taking the weight of your body.
Because we hardly bring our awareness to such things, it may take a few minutes to become aware. Try to focus on these two points which are touching the ground, through which you are transferring your whole weight to planet earth. Once you are able to feel these points, you can start to move to the next step, which is balancing.
