What are the benefits of meditation?
Meditation is there to help you fulfill your
everyday needs: getting a little rest and relaxation, clearing your
mind,
getting some perspective on your life, having more energy, and
being
able to go into
action with relaxation.
Meditating daily has a powerful effect on your physical health, your ability
to heal emotionally, and your ability
to function at your best. These benefits
are measurable, as discovered by scientists and doctors the world over
who have been
researching the benefits.
2 Why do people meditate?
People meditate for innumerable reasons and all of them are valid. People
meditate because:
• they are curious and have a desire to explore.
• they are worried, tired, bored, lonely or tense.
• they are happy, grateful, in love and glad to be alive.
• they are grieving, sad, despairing, resigned, frustrated.
• they have lost someone or some part of themselves or lost the joy of
life.
• they feel out of place in the practical world and feel the need to live
in the
world of Nature.
• they are sick in body or soul and need healing.
• they want to touch the essence of life and bring its magic into everyday
living.
• they have not touched the essence of life but they suspect it is there
for the
touching.
• they have long felt an urge, and finally gave in to it.
• they are responding to the calling of their own souls.
• they are so excited by life they figure they could use a little calmness.
• they want to keep their intuition and senses sharp.
3 What is the difference in the way you teach?
I explore and find out what works for you. Everyone is different.
The main thing I do when I work with people is to help them shape an approach
to meditation that suits their
individual nature, personality, body type
and daily life.
Human beings have instincts that guide them in meditation. Instinctive
Meditation takes the best of classical
meditation teachings from thousands
of years ago, and updates it for modern lifestyles.
The purpose of any meditation technique is to lead you beyond itself into
a more immediate and vital contact
with your everyday life.
4 When should I meditate?
You can meditate when you want to, or when you decide you should, or whenever
you can sneak it in. It is up
to you. The basic principle is to meditate
before periods of activity, so that your ability to work and play and
socialize
can be enhanced by the relaxed alertness you are learning to function in.
The standard approach is
to
meditate soon after arising in the morning.
5 How will I know I’m doing it right?
If you are enjoying yourself, feel restful, and have a sense of ease, you
are doing it right. In the long run, you
know you are doing it right if
you are more adaptable, more resilient, more stable inside yourself, more
perceptive, and more appreciative of life.
6 Will I need to make lifestyle changes?
Not really. Just start, and then over time if you feel you want to make
a change, then go ahead. But just adding
meditation time to your day is
a big change. Don't think you have to "improve" yourself in some
way before you
start meditating.
7 Do I have to be vegetarian to practice meditation?
The first principle of yoga philosophy is ahimsa, which means "non
harming to self and others. Some people
interpret this to include not eating animal
products. There is debate about this in the yoga community. I believe
that it is a personal decision that everyone has to make for themselves.
8 What is yoga?
The word yoga, from the Sanskrit word yuj means to yoke or bind and is
often interpreted as "union" or a
method of discipline.
The Indian sage Patanjali is believed to have collated the practice of
yoga into the Yoga Sutra an estimated
2,000 years ago
9 Is yoga a religion?
Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy that began in India an estimated
5,000 years ago. These scriptures
provide a framework for spiritual growth
and mastery over the physical and mental body. It is also not
necessary
to surrender your own religious beliefs to practice yoga.
