Meditation and Yoga

There are many different meditation techniques, but all of them have one thing in common: they all cause you to become more self aware, more watchful of your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.

Some techniques are still: for example, you sit and watch your breath. Others are active, asking you to move, dance, make sounds, etc.

Perhaps the best thing to do is look around at different techniques and find one which "feels right." Then go ahead and try it for a few weeks.

To meditate means to think on, ponder or consider. Therefore, many religions use meditation as a form of learning and understanding.

In the Christian religion, the Bible states that one is to meditate day and night on things which are good and honorable.

Other religions meditate believing they can obtain a higher form of spiritualism, contact spirits, or control their minds and body functions.

* It calms you * Just another distraction to work through on the way to meditation. It does calm the mind provide the music is a gentle kind. It can also keep you focused in that calm state, which is beneficial in helping you let go of thoughts that crop up.

Just stepping away from something stressful for a few minutes or taking time away from your normal routines and thoughts can give you enough space and distance to feel calmer. Read a book or a magazine, even if it's only for a few minutes. Run yourself a bath, watch a film, play with a pet or try out a new recipe. Where to buy royalty free meditation music?

There are tons of amazing yoga retreats in different places around the world, especially in Thailand, Indonesia, and Bali. Rather than talk about locations, I'd rather talk about what makes a yoga retreat worth going to.

A good Yoga retreat:

Provides daily yoga classes

One on one personal yoga session opportunities

SPA treatments

Healthy, detox food (cooking and eating)

Includes food, snacks, and freshly juiced juices

Is in a beautiful location and provides luxury accommodation packages

Includes exercise in the schedule

Meditative poetry, at its best, brings about a moment of silence, bliss, benediction. For a sample, try reading Rumi's short poems.

Yoga is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the world, and it’s become a global phenomenon over the past couple decades. While some countries’ popularity for yoga still remains fairly small, there are those where it is an integral part of everyday life. Yoga has become increasingly popular in recent years, with over 36 million people practicing it in the U.S. alone. According to the International Yoga Federation, about 300 million people practice globally! Are you curious about where yoga is the most popular in the world? Read on to discover yoga’s popularity by country.

The ancient practice of yoga originated in India in the 5th century B.C.E., and has since spread throughout the world. It was first imported into Europe and the US around the end of the nineteenth century, when it was brought by Indian practitioners emigrating to new countries. You can now find meditation and hatha yoga classes worldwide, and the US alone now has over 6,000 studios in cities big and small. Furthermore, thousands of people travel to yoga retreats around the world to take their skills to another level and to qualify as certified yoga teachers. Bali, Ibiza, Thailand, and of course India itself, all have huge yoga tourism industries and they are growing bigger every year.

Yoga is a practice that has become increasingly popular in the United States, as well as the entire world. In fact, it’s the second most popular exercise in the U.S., particularly among women. So what’s the appeal? You can do yoga anywhere, and it’s not like running where you have to take the time to build up endurance to run a mile. Yoga is relatively easy to learn, and there are a wide variety of yoga classes to choose from. You can practice with a group or simply practice on your own. As can be seen from the trends in the graph below sourced from Google trends, yoga is the second most searched type of fitness in the world today. The graphic shows yoga’s global popularity from 2004 to 2020 compared to running, dancing, and cycling.

Did you know that statistics show that yoga is more popular in the Canada than the United States or India? But where exactly does yoga find the most fans, and what styles are most popular in different countries?

While many know that yoga is an ancient form of physical and mental exercise, many are surprised to learn that not everyone is a fan of the ancient practice. In some countries, it has been banned altogether, or at least in certain public places. The most common reason for banning yoga is because it comes from India, and there are fears that it could spread Hindu religion.

Yes, why would it not be?

I am in a meditative mood: rather than *do* things, I will simply sit and watch my thoughts and feelings.

Hatha Yoga is the balancing of the sun "Ha" and moon "Tha" energies within the body. To achieve this balance there are 7 practices or steps.

These are 1. Kriyas or cleansing techniques for purification of the body, 2. Asanas or postures for strength and flexibility, 3. Pranayama or breathing practices for lightness, 4. Mudras and Bandhas, locks or seals for steadiness, 5. Pratyahara for the withdrawal of the senses, calmness of the mind, 6. Dhyana or contemplation for perception and 7. Samadhi or One-ss, a deep state of meditation. For further understanding refer to Shiva Samthita , Gheranda Samthita or Hatha Yoga Pradipika.

While I was not there, I would say, after having read The Tao Te Ching, that he most certainly did meditate. One does not become capable of saying the things he did without a deep understanding of one's inner being.

But the more important question is, do *you* meditate? The whole essence of Lao Tze's teaching is that you can become as aware, as enlightened, as he did.

It consists of working on all 7 layers of the being simultaneously.

Body->Yogasanas

Breath-> Pranayam

Mind->Chanting and awareness,

Emotion->Devotion

Deep sleep state->Meditation

An ashtanga is a classical system described by Panatanjali in the Yoga sutras.

Unless the person has exercise-induced asthma, yoga would have no effect on asthma. If they do have exercise-induced asthma, it is possible that the yoga could actually trigger an attack.

   Doga is a series of yoga poses that you can do with your dog. Suzi Teitelman and her dog Coali developed doga. Suzi noticed that her dog Coali was very attentive to Suzi when she was doing her yoga sessions. So Suzi began to develop a series of yoga poses that her dog could do with her. Suzi later started to teach doga lessons, and the trend quickly caught on. Owners say that doga helps their older dog to stretch painful joints and relax them. Doga can also help to calm and relax young and active dogs. 

The Transcendental Meditation technique and the mantras/sounds it utilizes have their origin in the ancient Vedic tradition which predates all religions and cultures including the Hindu religion. The Vedic tradition is a universal body of complete and timeless knowledge encompassing the total field of natural law, or underlying intelligence, that governs the universe. Because the Vedas and the Vedic tradition are ancient and universal, many of its sounds, names and principals are found in many countries, cultures and religions around the world.

The ancient Vedic tradition of India is the oldest continuous tradition of knowledge on earth. In 2003 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed the Vedic tradition (specifically the recitation of the Vedic hymns) a "masterpiece of intangible heritage to humanity".

The TM technique and its mantras are derived from this same Vedic tradition. Over thousands of years, the technique of Transcendental Meditation contained in the Vedas had been misinterpreted and therefore lost its effectiveness. It was then revived in the 1950's, to its original and highly effective form, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who was the custodian and representative of the Vedic tradition in our generation.
