WHAT IS MEDITATION?

• Meditation is the direct experience of your own mind.

• Instead of distractions, there is a calm, clear awareness, a sense of being instead of doing, of tranquility instead of confusion.

MEDITATION AND CLOTHES

• Comfort comes first : Loose and comfortable

• Clothes worn during meditation must have some symbolic significance.

• It helps the mind to concentrate on meditation.

• Example- colors, shapes, ornaments.

MEDITATION AND COLORS

• White - purity and transcendence.

• Saffron & maroon - sun and enlightenment.

• purple - God’s majesty.

• Blue - Tranquility

These colors affect our mind. Choose your color whole you meditate and see the difference!

MEDITATION AND SHAPES

• cloak -privacy

• A belt /rope around the waist - the link between the man and divine.

• A scarf, (Buddhist ceremonies) - the act of offering.

• Bare foot - Humility and putting aside of earthy things.

MEDITATION AND ORNAMENTS • Necklaces of birth stone.

• Simple wooden beads / pendant with spiritual significance . example : cross or ‘om’.

Make sure whatever you wear or choose should help you focus and should be used only during the

session of meditation.

BREATH WITH COLORS AND CHAKRAS

• Meditation uses chakras- non physical form of energy complexes.

• Chakras are associated with colours and our body parts.

• Examples-heart chakra , throat chakra , chakra around the navel.

• At the end of meditation, Every chakra(part of the body) is energized.

MEDITATION AND SLEEP

• Peaceful and less sleep.

• More aware during sleep.

• Exercise: write any event/person/thing of the dream and around it everything related to it.

By gaining control of our dreams, we gain control of the process of dying and the transition to the

next world.
