Types of yoga meditation methods
1. Yoga voice meditation
Of all yogic meditation systems, none is as direct, time-tested, or widely used as the efficacy of yogic voice meditation. Yoga voice meditation can be practiced in conjunction with the practice to enhance the vitality, or it can be practiced individually. In other words, a person can first control the senses by manipulating and controlling the vital energy, and then start to focus on his yoga voice, or he can practice yoga voice meditation regardless of his current state of consciousness. Such yogic voice meditation itself leads to withdrawal of the senses, holding, meditation and eventual entry into meditation.
Yoga voice meditation is also known as Mantra meditation. The Sanskrit word "Mantra" can be divided into two parts, namely "Man" and "Tla". "Man" means "soul", and "Tra" means "lead away". Therefore,"Mantra" means a special set of sounds that can lead the human mind away from its worldly thoughts, worries, desires, spiritual burdens, etc. As long as one focuses on his yoga pronunciation, one can gradually transcend ignorance. From this step, yoga meditation develops deeper, gradually evolves into perfect Zen, and finally enters a state of meditation.
In his "Yoga Sutra", Patanjali described holding, meditation and meditation in eight-branch yoga as the three stages of yoga meditation. In the holding stage, the meditator's mind always tends to stray away from the objects of meditation; in the meditation stage, the highest perfect state where the meditator's mind focuses on a little is called meditation.
Yoga voice meditation practice is extremely simple and easy to practice, with no strict rules. Sometimes it is repeated with your heart and mouth at the same time, sometimes it is just meditation. When chanting aloud, sometimes you recite it repeatedly in a low voice; sometimes you recite it loudly in ordinary voice; sometimes you recite it in a rhythmic singing method; sometimes you recite it in sync with your breathing, but sometimes you don't have to; Sometimes you read it sitting, sometimes you read it standing, sometimes you read it while walking, etc.
The two most commonly used sounds, the Om pronunciation (OM), represents the original sound of the universe, the voice of God. Among all yoga pronunciation systems, the "OM" pronunciation is the most effective and simple, and can lead people's hearts to tranquility and peace.
