Daily yoga "meditation" homework
Many people who practice yoga think that yoga and meditation are very mysterious, but yoga teachers say that meditation is like sleeping. It is spontaneous and you are your own teacher. I think the process of yoga meditation is a process of completely relaxing your body and mind. It can allow your consciousness to return to the present peacefully and abandon all distracting thoughts of the past and the future. Its ultimate goal is to make people pure and no longer be full of desires and enslaved by various senses.
Meditations usually include: conscious meditation, voice meditation, candlelight meditation, visualization meditation, etc. Practitioners can choose according to their own preferences. When you choose one to practice, it doesn't feel good. You can abandon it and choose another. During many years of practice, I have chosen the practice of visualization and meditation based on my physical condition. This method can make people become pure, young and healthy. When I turned the practice of yoga into a lifestyle, I practiced yoga meditation every day at a fixed time and place. Since I once suffered from scapulohumeral periarthritis, let me talk about how I cured it through meditation.
Practice method:
1. Choose a comfortable sitting position, form yoga mudras with your hands and place them naturally on your knees, relax your whole body: relax your facial muscles, eyes, nose, lips, and tongue, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and use your nose to breathe, just quietly observe your breathing state and gradually calm your heart.
2. Keep your breathing natural and quiet, feel your shoulders sinking, and relax as much as possible. After a few minutes, it becomes quieter and quieter. You can tell yourself carefully that I am slowly exhaling out to release the pressure and pain on my shoulders. When inhaling in, I imagine the cosmic energy in nature entering my body force. It illuminates my whole body. The blood in the whole body is transparent, the five internal organs and six bends of the whole body are transparent, and only the muscles of the shoulder blades are gray-black.
3. Gradually focus your consciousness on the painful parts on the shoulder blade and pay attention to the feeling of pain.
4. Imagine that the muscles in the pain area are gray.
5. Focus on the gray muscles and breathe.
6. When you inhale, the energy of the universe enters the body. This energy becomes a beam of white light. This beam of light shines in the gap between the dark shoulder blades. The muscles of the shoulder blades slowly soften from rigidity, as if they are melted. Ice stone, the soft tissues in the muscles are rearranged, giving rise to new pink-white muscles. Carefully understand that the new white muscles are just a painkiller.
7. Exhale the gas from the original gray muscles when exhaling.
8. Repeat this several times until you feel the pain in your shoulder blade muscles has eased.
9. After breathing and adjusting your breath, slowly open your eyes
Through long-term practice, I finally eliminated scapulohumeral periarthritis. I have unspeakable happiness in my heart. The process of meditation is a process of self-recognition, a process of relaxation, and a process of purifying the soul. Your body, your soul must always be close to each other. Only by letting them have in-depth dialogue can you understand yourself.
Nowadays, more and more people in the medical community are beginning to pay attention to the non-negligible role that meditation plays in treating various diseases. Many human diseases are often caused by work pressure and mental tension. My scapulohumeral periarthritis is caused by the pressure of working at my desk for many years without any sports. The ultimate purpose of practicing yoga is to make our bodies healthier, that is, to integrate with the source in nature.
I like yoga because it changes me a lot. On the surface, it may seem like just stretching, squeezing and breathing, but it does transform your mind. Meditation is a purification process of the soul. Toxins in the human body need to be expelled every day, and the soul also has toxins that need to be purified. In a complicated world, if you want to maintain an ordinary heart, you must expel the toxins in your heart every day.
Some people in society are rich, famous and influential, but these people's hearts are very unhealthy and their souls are empty. In order to find spiritual stimulation, some people drink heavily, smoke, and even take drugs all day long in order to get rid of their spiritual emptiness. If you do yoga and meditate every day, you will reflect on our mistakes in life, review what is disturbing us, and think about what the mind is thinking. This kind of practice reduces the pressure on our spirit and brings us to the body. What brings is health and happiness. As you progress through meditation, you will find that your own thinking is undergoing fundamental changes. Your spiritual world is full of love and your thinking becomes three-dimensional. This is the benefit that meditation brings to us.
When practicing yoga, many people ignore meditation and blindly pursue postures, which is very one-sided. We all attach great importance to appearance. We have to wash our faces, brush our teeth, and wash clothes every morning. If we attend friends 'gatherings, we have to dress ourselves up. However, we largely ignore the maintenance of our souls. Inner beauty is beauty. Practicing yoga is not just a position, meditation is a very important step.
Many people are busy working and studying all day long. It is difficult to have time to sit down and truly be alone with themselves without really enjoying the happiness of being alone. If you are interested in what I call meditation, please try closing your eyes and using your mind to explore your own world and observe the essence of things as if your eyes had never been closed. This is a brand new world. Yoga meditation is a process of self-introspection. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
