Meditation is a process in which the mind of the person stops thinking. This happens through a process of learning and training. Both the mind and body are trained in this. The body has to be prepared to be fit to experience meditation. The person should acquire knowledge which will help the meditator to realise the concept of non attachment .The working mind should be prepared to experience silence. Then Meditation is said to happen.
We coordinate Nataraj, Dynamic, Kundalini, Vipasana meditation programmes.
Nataraj Meditation: Nataraj meditation is a form of meditation where the meditator dances with different musical beats. The participant is expected to move the body as per his wish with closed eyes. He watches his own movements, breathing and feeling with closed eyes. It is a dance not for seeing by others but for experiencing by self. It is wonderfully rejuvenating for the body and the mind.
Disappearing in the dance, then relaxing into silence and stillness is the route inside for this method. It is a total meditation in which you dance so deeply that you forget completely that you are dancing and begin to feel that you are the dance. The dance flows in its own way. It is not a doing but a happening.
Dynamic Meditation: Life is complex, and many things come into the mind which has to be thrown away. That's why Dynamic Meditation is emphasized so much. All sorts of anger, jealousy, hatred, sadness, screaming are thrown into a big vacuum. This is a bath for the mind. The mind is cleaned as we clean the body everyday.
It comprises of five stages which start with rapid breathing through nose, then laugh, shout, scream, jump, shake - whatever one feels to do, jump up and down with arms rose, shouting Hoo! followed by remaining completely motionless and witnessing everything that is happening. The last stage of the meditation consists of dancing and celebration.
Kundalini Meditation: It is an unconscious, instinctive or libidinal force or Shakti, envisioned as a sleeping serpent coiled at the base of the spine, hence a number of English renderings of the term such as 'serpent power'. Kundalini is considered a part of the subtle body along with chakras (energy centres) and nadis (channels). Each chakra is said to contain special characteristics.
Yoga and Tantra propose that this energy can be "awakened" body and spirit must be prepared by yogic austerities such as pranayama, or breath control, physical exercises, visualization, and chanting. It may then rise up a subtle channel at the base of the spine (called Sushumna), and from there to top of the head merging with the sahasrar, or crown chakra. When Kundalini Shakti rises to the head, it unites itself with the existence. Then aspirant becomes engrossed in deep meditation and infinite bliss.
It is said, once you have achieved chakra balance there is an overwhelming sense of confidence and balance. You feel, new. You feel as if nothing is out of reach.
Rajanish or Osho school has a four step Kundalini meditation, starting with shaking to end in silence.
Vipasana Meditation: Vipasana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion
