Meditation Is for You

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

If you sit quietly with yourself for a few minutes, you can see that there are slight movements always happening in you.

Even when you are sitting very still, your energies are moving in almost invisible circles in and around you. Your prana or life force, is moving inside your body in a subtle current.

The problem is, the moment you become aware of these movements, you try to hold onto your body. We hold onto our body so tightly in our mind! Unconsciously, we are always resisting these natural movements, always afraid to let go.

Now, just be with those movements happening inside you. Allow them to happen.

When you allow these movements to happen, you will suddenly become aware that you are not a solid body. You are a flowing energy! Suddenly you will realize you are not just the body. You may be dwelling in the body, but you are not the body.

Experiencing ourselves as a flowing energy is what I call enlightenment or the ultimate experience.

Initially, it may be difficult to experience the energy when we are sitting still. So we should try to help our body and cooperate with it by creating small invisible circles and small movements.

Sit straight and close your eyes. Keep your spine relaxed.

Inhale and exhale as slowly and as deeply as possible. Start moving your body in very slow and small circles from the waist upwards. Even if you only visualize this, it is enough. Suddenly, you will see that your body is moving slowly and you are feeling comfortable with the motion. Just be in that state and allow the movement to happen.

Concentrate near the manipuraka chakra or navel center, which is the source of prana. You will see that your whole body is moving in small invisible circles and you are centered on the navel.

When you allow your body to move with the movement of prana, your energies will get naturally balanced.

As you continue the movements, at one point suddenly you will see you that are disengaged from the 'I'. You are beyond the body, you are flowing, you are a flowing energy.

Try this technique for at least eleven days. You will start experiencing a shift in consciousness.
