Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing their mind on a particular object, thought or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Scholars have found meditation difficult to define, as practices vary both between traditions and within them.
Meditation may be used with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, and increasing peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being. Meditation is under research to define its possible health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and other effects.
At the center, various different meditation techniques are taught, to suit your particular needs. Examples of the different meditations taught at the center are:
Chakra meditation - This meditation technique is aimed at keeping the body’s core chakras — centers of energy — open, aligned, and fluid. Blocked or imbalanced chakras can result in uncomfortable physical and mental symptoms, but chakra meditation can help to bring all of them back into balance.
Visualisation Meditation - It has been used for many different purposes. It is therapeutic and helps one gain clarity about one s needs, desires, aspirations, faults and obstacles. Through visualisation, one can also transcend the immediate concerns and access inner happiness and joy, and also one s ability to overcome struggles.
Sound Meditation - Sound meditation uses mantra or sound as the object of meditation. This practice helps one achieve deeper layers of awareness.
Mahamantra Meditation - This is an ancient Buddhist meditation technique which helps achieve a state of thoughtlessness. Thoughtlessness helps one enter a deeper dimension of awareness, and stay in the present moment. And it is in the present moment that peace of mind can be attained.
