Meditation Techniques

Here is a list of meditation techniques. They have to be done in orders starting from first one.

1. Put thumb of left hand on the left nostril and breath in deep with right nostril. Now put middle finger on right nostril and breath out with left nostril. Repeat it many times. Now we have to do it with right hand. Put thumb of right hand on the right nostril and breath in deep with left nostril. Now put middle finger on left nostril and breath out with right nostril. Repeat it many times.

2. Breath out abruptly many time with full force but do not push too much or some harm can take place. While doing it make sure you are throwing out with lungs not stomach. It has to be done only in morning with empty stomach.

3. Inhale deep inside, hold it and count 6 in mind then exhale, again hold and pause count 6 and again inhale deep inside. Do it many times.

4. Breathe in and out in most natural way. Feel the friction of air in nose while inhaling and exhaling. Don’t think any thing else but focus on breathe. Very soon breathe will become calmer and deeper. This will make you forget everything else. If this exercise is done carefully it will take the individual to Samadhi.

5. Breath deep in and out. Each time you breath feel the oxygen reaching your vital organs one by one. Like feel for sometime that oxygen in going inside heart, it will make heart strong. Similarly one can feel oxygen reaching lever/ Kidney/ legs or anywhere. Repeat this for one organ many times.
6. This is mantra meditation, it has to be done with understanding and feeling true meaning of mantras being chanted in mind. Breath deep in and out. When you are breathing in feel that the happiness is coming inside the body and while breathing out feel that sorrow is going outside the body. Repeat it many times near about for two minutes. Do the same thing for other opposite emotions like love/ hatred, strength/ weakness, health/ disease. It can act as a mental conditioning exercise also.

7. Use 1st and 3rd meditation technique for five minutes to calm down your brain after it, imagine a blue color butterfly in pit of the throat. Image it is flapping wings with each heart beat. Try to feel the synchronization between your heart beat and butterfly flapping wings.

Notes:
1. Sometime they seem boring but you should persist. After few days you will start enjoying.
2. Presence of a good quality meditation instructor who is very experienced makes the process easier and more effective.
