MEDITATION OF SILENCE

Dear Readers after reading my posts THE TRUTH BEHIND MEDITATION and MEDITATION-A STATE OF MIND many of you have asked me to give a practical technique to practice meditation, I am of the opinion that and I have stressed that before that meditation is a state of mind and it is not advisable to get into habits of any kind and to practice meditation in a way which is most comfortable to you, herein below I will explain what really is meditation and how it is advisable to practice it.

I have in my post THE SEVEN CHAKRAS explained in detail who the functions of the three nadis in the human body which distribute breath or prana throughtout the body

called in Sanskrit as Ida,Pingala and Shushamna and in English as the sympatic,parasympatic and central nervous systems,these three nadis are situated along the spinal cord and they run in a curved manner which is why they are called SERPANT or KUNDALINI ,these three nadis in this curved movement overlap each other and at the various fields of crossing an energy field is created which flows in an circular manner which can be compared to a wheel or a chakra hence the word chakra is used to describe these centers of energy,the frequency of these energy fields increases from the lower to the higher chakra ie. the force which is generated increases from the lower to the higher.

These chakras and the energy which they generate is called the Prana or the life source energy,and this energy controls the entire human body and the chakras individually have a field of operation ie.they control the functions of the area in which they are situated,they not only control the physical parts but also the corresponding mental energy which these partsrelease.

Now as we have seen how the breath or the life source or prana flows through these nadis and controls the entire human body,please keep in mind that that area of the body which is most effected requires more breath or prana hence normally the distribution of the breath is not evenly distributed throughout the body.

Keeping this in mind the only way to practice meditation is through SILENCE but first it is essential to understand what silence means, when one practices silence the breath does not get unevenly distributed and is distributed through the body and in the process flows upwards toward the BRAIN and stimulates those areas of the brain which have been neglected and have remained unused, this is what the mystics call SIDDHI.

Now you will ask me how does one practice silence, I tell you silence cannot be practiced mechanically by method but one can practice it in a way one feels more comfortable with and how can one feel comfortable there is only way BY KNOWING WHAT SILENCE CAN DO FOR YOU.
