The Art of Meditation

Over the past one hundred years or so, the way of life has changed greatly throughout the world. systems and social systems within society have evolved and changed dramatically, which has brought about a dispersion of human energies at all levels of being, and within our lives.

The mind has lost the balance point and harmony in all spheres of exsistence. the focus on life has largely become on material survival, and few are aware of the change and what has happened.

Diseases have sprung up creating new dimensions,perspectives, and manifestations, which is ever on the increase at the moment. Largely these illnesses are STRESS RELATED, which are often caused by the inabilty to adapt to highly competitive and fast paced existences.

I can bet you have or will know someone who suffers from diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure),migraines, asthma, digestive disorders and skin diseases?! all these can occur from stress related impact, tensions arising in the body and the mind.

modern medicine often finds these issues hard to tackle and that is largely because the REAL problem does not lie in the body and the physical, but stems from the mind and perception. it's in a persons way of thinking and feeling. "mind over matter"

whether you think too much or not much at all, we all develop and accumulate tensions. whatever we do or don't do in our diets, physical life and work..we all create and accumulate tensions.

there are different types of tensions which accumulate within- muscular tensions, emotional tensions and mental tensions-each having their own components.
relaxation, meditation and yoga nidra ~(yogic sleep) can help to release and relax these areas of tension, helping to create harmony and balance and to live effectively in these fast paced,hectic lifestyles that we tend to lead.

performing relaxation properly is essential to truly releasing tensions from within us. correct performance of relaxation has more benefits than may originally be realised, for instance an hours performance of yoga nidra, is better than 4 hours of conventional sleep.
proper relaxation helps us to construct and reform ourselves from within, relasing tensions and building on new energies, creating new focus and effective thinking, and positivity.
releasing tensions helps transformation in our lives in every apsect.

the relaxed mind is in its natural state.

there' are many techniques for relaxing properly and effectively and regular practice of this is brilliant for bringing awareness to yourself that you may not have been aware of.
