How to Get Benefits Out of Meditation?

I want to get the benefits out of the meditation. And at the same time my mind gets distracted.

Will there be any possibility? Or will there be any chance of getting the benefits of meditation, even though there are distractions?

Yes definitely there is a possibility.

All the CDs in the Bach Flower Study Centre are tuned in certain brainwaves.

Whenever a person goes into a deep meditation, or deep meditative level, the brain produces certain waves called Brainwaves.

When you are in deep meditation you go to Alpha, then Theta and then Delta. Normally our distractive mind is in Beta State.

When you listen to the Meditation CD with a headphone, whatever Alpha waves generated will be imposed on your brain.

When those waves are imposed, you will be forced to come out of Beta level and you will be in the silence mode.

In that way, you can silence the rebellious or the resisting mind. That is the only way by which you can do meditation.

 The other way is really cumbersome for every time you have to be careful about the mind, because the mind is a great trickster.

You think that you will be able to manage it, for when you just say ‘release’, the thought goes off.

You feel happy then. But the happy state itself is another thought – whether it is happiness, sadness, calmness, worry, anger or love, all of them is a thought. 

Every such thought has to be released.

Simple ways to meditate Part I

Meditation is an experience that nobody can teach you.

Neither can we go to deep into meditation suddenly as it’s a practice and a habit that is formed over a period of time.

Meditation means, to remain silent. Though, thoughts keep appearing.

If any thought is present then it’s not meditation. How to remain thoughtless though?

Remaining silent with releasing techniques

How to remain silent in spite of thoughts?

Mind can cling to picture or a mantra.

Do we have a mantra for silence? There is no mantra for silence.

However, there is a technique to create silence. The technique is as follows:

  • When a thought comes don’t resist it. Say inside you, ‘this is my thought’. Thus, you disassociate yourself from the thought.
  • Then ask the question to yourself, ‘Can I let go this thought?’ It will go. You can also say “release”. Then it will go.
  • Now, there will be at least a one second gap between thoughts. This is equivalent to one hour of meditation. In general, we never have a gap between thoughts. In general we might have ten thoughts in one second.
  • If you do not want the “let go” step, then form your own mantra or word. When we say that mantra, we create a gap between the thoughts.
  • When a thought comes, interrupt it with the mantra and you will become silent. When another thought comes, say the mantra. The silence in between the mantra is meditation.

Need for pranic and physical bodies to be in coordination

Our pranic body and physical body have to be in coordination. Otherwise, we can’t meditate.

If we regulate our breathing pattern or do pranayama then they will be in coordination.

This is because both breathing and prana have the same origin. When breathing is regulated, prana is regulated too.

Pranic body has to be clear of impurities

When the pranic body is clean, then the meditation can be done successfully.

Why so much impurities in the pranic field?

It’s due to the mind. My own sadness and worries create these impurities. With the help of pranayama, one can clean these impurities.

Benefits of Healing Throat Chakra

This is the fifth chakra. It is also called as the Communication Chakra.

This chakra is connected with our lungs, larynx and throat. It is our communication channel. It takes care of our communication and determines how we relate to this world.

If I speak with love, then others will speak with love

When we hear good things, it will expand. That’s why Satsang (group of good thinkers) is important.Speak well and hear good things are the messages of this chakra.

Keep silent as when you open your mouth only bad stuff come out. Though, when there is love – thanks to good functioning of Heart Chakra, only good and kind words will come out.

When we talk, more energy is lost. The best way to get energy for the Throat Chakra is to do listening.

Only when we listen, we will know which is divine and which is not. While listening we will know the power of divine. Therefore, ‘listen properly’ is the message from Throat Chakra.

More silence more energy

There is a saying, ‘Mounam Sarvartha Sadhagam’, which means silence is a big tool. In silence, we get more energy. Guru is silent. Through silence we communicate so many things.

To know divinity and to know what to do we have to remain silent. It also means silence in thoughts. There is no point in having continuous thoughts in your head and say “we are practicing silence”.

When I need to communicate then?

While remaining silent if it still creates problems, then if we open our mouth there will be more problems. Communicate appropriately is the message from Throat Chakra.

You told your son one hundred times to study well. Yet he did not listen.

Therefore, your communication has failed to serve its objective, which is to make him understand. If he hasn’t, then why should we keep advising?

Right communication should be preceded by silence. Therefore, practice it!

Your talents will be known to the world

Throat and Hara Chakras are connected.

When our talents are not known to the world then it shows the Throat Chakra is not functioning well.

When you want the world to know about it, give Reiki to the Throat Chakra as well as Hara Chakra (keep one hand in Hara and another in Throat).

Then your talent will be exposed, recognition in office (in outside world) will improve.

To get the right appreciation, give Reiki to your Throat Chakra.

Thanks to throat we will communicate better. Our lives also get better, for all our relationships get spoiled because of miscommunication – in all misunderstandings, we need to balance the Throat Chakra.

Healing inside the Mother’s Womb

Student

Please do advise me as to what I should do in Pondy (Pondicherry) for furthering my healing. I shall be spending a week in the (Aurobindo) Ashram guest house.

Naran

While in Pondy, go to ashram as much as possible.

Mentally:

  • Prostrate to all the plants and trees who were then with the Mother
  • Prostrate to all the plants and trees that are now there in the ashram
  • Prostrate to the cows and people who serve the ashram
  • Prostrate to the earth wherever the Mother walked
  • Prostrate to the chairs and beds where she used to sit and recline
  • Prostrate to every article that she used

And:

  • Give Reiki to the ashram
  • Be in silence and in meditation totally
  • Chant “I AM SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE LOVE THANKS ALIGN WITH DIVINE CENTER”. Say this to every organ, every chakra, every tissue, every system, and every process of the body.

Best of luck
