Meditation

In the yogic context meditation is referred to the seventh state—called Dhyana—of the yogic path created by Patanjali.

Many yogic traditions are based on the eight limbs of yoga, in which Dhyana is defined as as state of pure consciousness.

Prior to Dhyana the meditator has mastered the sixth limb called Dharana, which practices the art of concentration. 

Being in the state of Dhyana, dwelling as pure consciousness allows us to enter the eights and final state called Samadhi.

In Samadhi the meditator is completely absorbed by pure consciousness and dwells in an absolutely undisturbable state. During such state we are in a profound and utterly absorptive contemplation of Consciousness itself, gifting us with the most natural feeling off joyful calm and deep inner peace, while still maintaining one's full mental alertness and acuity.

​

It's empowering to know how to address and guide our thoughts instead of being enslaved by an "uncontrollable monkey-mind". The blessing of meditation lays in the ability to notice one's emotions (positive, negative or neutral) and allow them to flow. This frees the meditator from any attachment or suffering and creates the opportunity to be fully present and experience one's true Self​
 

Meditation can help to get a handle on your mind's activities and provide the answers you seek.

It supports you to become a successful creator of your thoughts and, ultimately—your life.

​

A wise teacher once said: "Everybody should meditate for half an hour per day, other than when they have no time. In that case, they should meditate for one hour!" 

​

This is so true! Because the more stressed we are, spinning in circles and running behind time, the more we would benefit from the calming and mind-clearing effects of meditation.
So making room for even just a few minutes of daily meditation is a wise thing to do—for everyone!​

If you are new to meditation or want to polish your current practice, we can address and refine your practice during a Vedic Counselling session. Together we can determine the driving force behind and establish a Sadhana (daily spritial ) practice, which is alignment with your Dharma (life's purpose).
