“When meditation is mastered,
The mind is unwavering like the
Flame of a lamp in a windless place.
In the still mind,
In the depths of meditation,
The Self reveals itself.
Beholding the Self
By means of the Self,
An aspirant knows the
Joy and peace of complete fulfillment.
Having attained that
Abiding joy beyond the senses,
Revealed in the stilled mind,
He never swerves from the eternal truth.”
― Bhagavad Gita
Meditation gives us an opportunity to silence the voices in our mind that make us doubt ourselves or stop us from taking inspired action. Getting away even for 15–20 minutes a day to spend time in self reflection can make a big difference over a period of time. It’s easier than ever before to try multiple forms of meditation and find something that works for us.
Nature Sounds Meditation: Listening to nature sounds and visualizing spending time in a forest with water gently flowing and the wind caressing our cheeks is more than a relaxing technique. The sound of water is associated with the sacral chakra and this opens up our creative energy to flow freely. An open and balanced sacral chakra enables us to form healthy relationships and to break free from limiting patterns. Apart from a general sense of well being, we can expect a great reduction in anxiety levels and mental distress. The pandemic has made it crucial for us to do more to keep ourselves mentally healthy and well. Nature sounds increase our productivity levels too — when we make meditation a part of our daily wellness lifestyle.
Solfeggio Frequencies: The solfeggio frequencies are very popular amongst regular meditation practitioners. Each solfeggio sound is known to have a different impact and are associated with the 6 chakras. These basic notes of Gregorian chants that were used by early Roman Christians to raise vibrations and energy are known to deeply penetrate our subconscious minds and leave a great impact. Negative trapped emotions are released and coping with anxiety is easier. Listening to these solfeggio frequencies daily is recommended to experience the full benefits.
Guided Meditation: these are a form of meditation growing in popularity in modern, fast paced times where we need an expert guiding us through the visualization process, as well as acquainting us with our subconscious fears or trapped trauma. The benefits are immense. YouTube is a great platform to find guided meditations that work.
