Oh no! Another blog about meditation?


Meditation. It seems that everyone is talking about it and its benefits these day. So here is a little explanation of what it is, what it is not and how to go about it. 
What is Meditation

·     An effective form of relaxation and purification for the inner body/mind
·     An ancient powerful way of slowing down the frantic pace of life 
·     Like taking an internal shower that leaves you feeling refreshed, cleansed, relaxed
·     Thoughtless awareness that can be felt/practiced anywhere at any moment
·     Effortless
·     An act of being in a profound state of peace and relaxation, yet alert.

What Meditation is not 

·     An exercise or a form of concentration
·     A method to stop the thoughts from coming: that will never happen as the brain’s responsibility is to think, to create, to analyze, to plan 
·     An act of doing but rather an act of being
·     Sleeping.

What happens during 
Meditation     

·    .  Our aim is not to stop the mind/thoughts from coming, rather to watch them as they appear and go the same way we would look at clouds in the sky, without any judgment

·    We are the “witness” of what comes to our mind 
·     We watch one thought, become aware of it, move to the next one and so on without any justification/explanation/feeling/emotion/or objection 
·     The “monkey mind” slows down. 





Benefits of Meditation

·     Peace and calm inner state 
·     Higher level of awareness
·     Inner transformation
·     Better focus/concentration
·     Sharper mind
·     Better sleep 
·     Decrease in stress
·     Balance of the chakras (energy centers that connect body/spirit)
·      An overall more positive outlook on life
·     Deeper connection to your Divine true nature
·     Less anxiety
·     Lower heart rate
·     Improved blood circulation 


 How to Meditate
·     Sit quietly in a comfortable position. (You can also lie down but the chances of falling asleep are greater) 
·     Close your eyes 
·     Take a few long breaths
·     Observe the flow of your breath without changing it, as you naturally inhale/exhale 
·     You can mentally repeat to yourself “I aminhaling, I am exhaling” as you take thein and out breath
·     Repeat for 3/5 minutes or as long as you like and increase your practice time

Useful Tips

·      It is better to meditate 3/5 minutes daily than not to meditate at all or to meditate 20 minutes one day and 0 the next… you get my point…
·     If you are new to this you may want to sit on a cushion or have one behind your back or lean against a wall
·     When you first start turn off all distractions (phone, TV, computer, etc.) 
·     Be patient with yourself: give yourself time to become familiar with the practice. 


Types of Meditation

 MANTRA Meditation

A form of meditation consisting of chanting a mantra-a repetition of sacred words- that creates a particular reverberation within body/mind. 
No, you don't have to be a "good singer" because it is not about singing, is about feeling it from the heart.  
Mantras help you create a deeper connection with that manifestation of Divine nature you most need to incorporate into your daily life to manifest abundance, wellbeing, prosperity, wealth, health, love, joy, and inner peace.
There a million types of mantra meditation out there and most of them are used incorrectly: when that happens there is no flow of energy and the benefits of the mantra are not received.

 JAPA Meditation

A deeper form of mantra meditation with the help of a mala or “necklace” usually made of 108 beads. This form of mediation can be extremely powerful for holding the vibration of each mantra repeated over time. Imagine holding in your hands an energetic tool that is always available to take you a step further on your journey to attracting more abundance, wellbeing, health, wealth, love, joy, and inner peace. 
There are several types of malas depending on which manifestation of divine nature. 

               *You will not find your specific mala on google. To truly benefit from this type of practice it is best to connect directly with an experienced spiritual guide. Connect with me to discover the most beneficial mala for you.

Your new life is going to cost you your old one

Maybe the fact that i saw my first dead body floating in the Ganga today prompted me to write this. He was all curled up, face down, left leg missing from the knee down. Sadhu's orange clothes bundled up, back showing. His floating had come to a stop, the river's current being slow and we helped him going his way moving the water with our cupped hands to create waves. My first thought was to take a picture, and the second 'how insensitive of me to even think that'. i mean, it's not like i need a photo to remember the feelings, emotions, and thoughts this event brought up. It's an image i will never forget. Also possibly the fact that i was attacked by two stray cats in two days, in two separate occasions made me think about death and the brevity of human life. It is quite frightening, let me tell you! Without notice the cat shape-shifts into this crazy fast ball that you think is going to attack your hair or something. In both instances the mother cat was...

Varanasi Vibes

There is this feeling you get when you first visit Varanasi that can be summarized in two words  Dante's Purgatory . In a good way. This was not my first time here so  I sort of knew what to expect, but the magic of India (one of them) is that it surprises you with something new all. the. time . So, although the Ganga is still there, the devotes are still worshipping, the chai walla are still doing their thing,  and the tourists are still snapping their pictures.. .  The vibes you experience change according to how you feel. What state of mind are you in when you walk about the ghats? When you watch the sun rise? When you sit on the warm, dirty stone amongst stranger to experience the daily offerings to the sacred river? Are you going to focus on the sweltering heat , the garbage scattered everywhere, she smell of sewer filling your nostrils,  and the many homeless bodies sitting wherever they can? Or are you going to...
