Which guided yoga and meditation technique is right for you?

What is Meditation?

Meditation is an exalted, joyful, and powerful state of being. This blissful meditative state arises from any process or technique that cultivates Self-awareness and Self-knowledge.

Meditation is a process in which the meditator meditates on the object of meditation. Ultimately, the meditator and the object of meditation are united within the act of meditation.

As a result of this, you gain physical and mental health and awaken higher consciousness.

Courage and Skill in Facing Life Through Guided Yoga and Meditation

The consistent practice of guided yoga and meditation creates a powerful, resilient inner core that is undisturbed by negative experiences. Specific meditation techniques that involve grounding your energy and aligning you to your higher Self accelerate the refinement and power of your inner core. Grounding meditation techniques create a structure for connecting with the higher Self safely and effectively and expressing this relationship in your life meaningfully and in a grounded way.

The side effects of developing a stable inner core include the capacity to transform weakness into strength, rigidity into flexibility, and ignorance into wisdom. Then you can withstand life’s difficulties and setbacks with knowledge, courage, intelligence, and skill.

Spiritual Benefits of Guided Yoga and Meditation

Many cultures have used guided yoga and meditation techniques over thousands of years as a method to merge the singular, individual self into the highest Self. The spiritual benefits of yoga and meditation accrue as a result of Self-knowledge, which results from an ongoing study, reflection, and meditation on the Self. This is not the little self of the personality but the higher Self, the highest consciousness, the source, and the essence. This Self, your true nature, is extremely powerful.

The great spiritual texts tell us that the Self shines with the light of a million suns. We do not experience ourselves in this way because our awareness is disconnected from our own essence. Instead, we identify with the ever-demanding and ultimately mortal body-mind; we are caught up in its biological imperatives and dictates.

The spiritual aim of meditation is to take your awareness back to identify with who you really are, the immortal and unchanging Self. The experience of identification with who you are informs you that you are at one with all other beings and that their happiness is your happiness.

Summing Up

There are many guided yoga and meditation techniques. Eventually, all lead to the ultimate aim of meditation which is self-awareness. This is a conscious state in which you become fully aware and present in each moment.

Guided yoga and meditation technique begins by teaching you to relax and introvert, to go inwards and remain awake and alert. Eventually, they lead to a state of blissful concentration.

Concentration transforms the structure of the mind in the same way that cream is transformed into butter by churning. Meditative practice churns the mind from its raw undisciplined state into a strong, dynamic, peaceful, integrated, and awakened state.

Your effort to attain the meditative state transforms your bodymind. This process results in positive states of health and well-being, both physical and psychological, as a side-effect of the process; the main aim of meditation is increased Self-awareness.

You aim to free yourself from biologically based awareness, and to shift your sense of self back into the subtle body, then into the causal body, and finally to realize your authentic Self.
