Meditation and Yoga

A good standing pose designed to bring balance into the body and mind is Trikosnasa, Tree pose.

Here are the alignment points for practicing Trikonasana:

- Standing on all four corners of the foot, mostly easily accessed when the toes are raised

- Standing leg engaged, knee cap lifted, but not locked

- Bring the bottom of the opposing foot to the inside of the standing leg (shin or thigh, never the knee)

- Focused gaze on a stable point (dristi)

- Arms can be in prayer at the heart or raised to the sky

- Bring the raised leg back to neutral, then the ground

- Repeat on the other side

Holding the pose while you breathe for 3-5 cycles will calm the mind and restore balance to the body

Some people (called sensitives) are phychic subconsciously (meaning they use phychic abilities without meaning to.) Besides that, I'm not sure.

What is meditation?

Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment. And eventually, you may start to better understand them as well.

According to Chinese medicine, sciatica is typically caused by Qi and Blood stagnation along the Gallbladder or Bladder meridians. Other systems of medicine have different explanations for the pain, but TCM is very effective in relieving sciatica by relieving the Qi stagnation through many techniques including acupuncture, herbs, and tui-na medical massage.

Yoga is considered an energetic exercise method that maintains the free flow of Qi throughout the body, and with regular practice would likely clear up sciatica. Qigong exercises like Tai Qi might also be beneficial.

It can be when you start out, its recommended to do this in silence, but as you're able to focus more and more on it, light music can be added

There are several different types of yoga. My suggestion would be to start out doing a Hatha Yoga which is a slow-paced stretching class with simple breathing exercises. It's a good place to learn basic poses and relaxation techniques, and to become comfortable with yoga. Once you learn the basic poses, you will feel more comfortable doing them on your own. Most cities have some sort of yoga studio.

The most important thing to do in yoga is to breathe, especially when holding the postures. Learn the basic Dirga pranayama breath to use during yoga. Most importantly, breathe in and out through the nose into the belly. Read our Breathing in Asana article for more advice on breathing while practicing yoga poses.

Buddhist monks practices are a way of showing devotion to the Buddha through ceremonies, festivals, different types of meditation and retreats. Buddhist practices include rituals - a visual way for Buddhists to demonstrate their beliefs.

Meditation is essential in Buddhism. Therefore, in order to achieve enlightenment, Buddhists must know how to meditate properly.

There are two main kinds of meditation:

Samatha meditation - This is known as calming meditation and Buddhists believe that it leads to deeper concentration. It is important as it allows Buddhists to let go of cravings and therefore achieve nibbana. It focuses on mindfulness of breathing.

Vipassana meditation - This is known as insight meditation. When a Buddhist meditates, they believe that they can see things as they really are. This allows them to gain realisation and understand the impermanence of things and the nature of reality. It is not just about focusing on breathing - it is also about focusing on exploration. It can even be done when walking.

Drugs give us pleasure by releasing pleasure hormones in our brain.

No, the Bible does not mention yoga. There are yoga enthusiasts who interpret some passages of the Bible to be indirect references to yoga, but you have to be in a certain frame of mind to accept this.

I know the difference between the two Buddha's but forgive me, for I do not remember the name of the type of Buddhism that uses each. (I believe one began with an M and the other a T) First off, there was a divide among the people if Buddha was a god or just a teacher. Those who thought he was a god went their own separate way to practice their religion based on Buddha (Siddartha Gautama) as a god. While the other group practiced his teachings as a great teacher and not a god. Therefore, the meditating Buddha represents the Buddhists who believed he was a teacher and Lord Buddha was a god.
