key words for beginners of pranayama and meditation

Pranayama:

The right time to do the pranayama is during the sunrise and during the sunset hours. There are only few pranayama that have to be done in mouth (sithali,sittari etc..) rest of all should done only at the nose (pasthrika,kabalapathi,etc). After you finish pranayama in the morning you can feel the whole day is fresh and also when you back from work when you do it you may feel the softness of your mind and the body. During the practice when you feel you need to count you just do it as much you can.

Meditation:

Meditation can be done in a silence place it’s easy to get not disturbed from the external world. Music is one of the tools for meditation for the beginners you can select any soft music or mantras the music which u feel peaceful with … you can select it. No matter which time… when you feel you have time just sit and do it. But according to the yoga sutras early morning 3 -4 am is the right time which is called as brahma mukurtha in Sanskrit. But the world and timing has been faster now. So there is no wrong when you have free time you can do. Better is early morning. There are many different kinds of meditation which may done in different way what I am saying is just for the beginners and its one of the way.

a simple methods for pranayama and meditation

What is meditation?
The word meditation means the stage of empty mind.” Meditation is nothing. Nothing is meditation”. It’s very easy to give the techniques of meditation but the practice is challenging. We all know that our human mind just like a drunken monkey which never stays in one place .Seating in one place our mind can make more then 1000 thoughts in a fraction of seconds. Some peoples can’t even sleep at night almost 95% of the timing’s we spent on dreams. Then where we get the energy to face the stressful life?
Pranayama(breathing exercise) and meditation is a great boon to enter the peaceful life in this stressful world. To get deeper meditation pranayama is indeed. When you master at pranayama it’s easy to control your mind. If you don’t have much knowledge about pranayama you can select different techniques of meditation, so don’t worry about that. But according to the pantanjali the father of yoga, pranyama and then meditation which explain in the eight limbs or stages of ashtanga yoga. Let me give you few techniques of pranayama and meditation.

1. Chest breathe---In this breath concentrate your mind deeply on your chest part and have a deep inhale, during your inhalation expand your chest and slowly exhale, during your exhalation relax your chest. When you do this you may feel abdomen movement or shoulder movement. That’s normal when u do at first time. When you having this breath don’t push your abdomen just keep relax but when during your inhalations you may feel that the abdomen is sucking towards up. If you feel it’s hard to do this. Lie down and try. Do this for 15 times slowly. Deeply inhale and slowly exhale. This is normal breathing style.

2. Meditation---Human mind just like a Ball, when you push the ball inside the water its nature is just it will come towards up. Same way when you try to control your mind, it wan to go around. At first stage of meditation its advice to concentrate some soft music that which you like or repeating some mantra like OM, Om nama shivaya, Om Jesus. So on...or you can simple concentrate your breath. This is the first stage to get enter into the meditation. When you begin to start doing those meditation styles at first your mind may fly around just leave him where ever it go and it will back soon…

“All shastras speak but vaguely, they do not teach better than your won eyes”….It mean’s keep on practice what ever you got as a knowledge in your daily life…Just reading alone wont give you the benefits. Be good do good.. Hariom tatsat..
