How you can achieve full consciousness with the help of meditation techniques



One technique that can help you connect with your breathe and calm the mind is the Anna Panna from Vipassana; is a way to gain the insight within, one can attain freedom from all the conditioning of unhealthy bonds that is being buried in the unconscious mind since ages.

Meditation:
1.  Firstly sit with legs crossed in a quiet comfortable place. (Shawl or blanket is advisable as you may get cold after some time). 
2.  Close your eyes. 
3. Bring your attention to your breath, breathing in and then out naturally, do not force the breath. Just observe how your breath enters the body and leave the body through the nostrils
4.  Do this for a few breaths.
5. Then bring your attention to the area just between the Nose and the upper lip. Feel how the breath flows past this area, how does the area itself feel. Are then any sensations or tingling. Again do not force any feeling or sensations ONLY observe.
6. To begin with you may not feel anything, do not worry keep focused and continue to just observe. Focus on the whole area between the nose and the upper lip. 
7. Continue this for 5 minutes, each increasing the time to an hour if possible. If limited time is available please ensure 15 minutes are done at least. 
8. If at the beginning you feel nothing, after doing this practice for some days you will start to feel and observe things. The reason some people can feel and some can’t, all depends on how calm their mind is or how much awareness they have to begin with. The calmer the mind or more aware the person is the quicker they will be able to sense what is going on. All goes back to sensitivity. However, with practice and time the sensitivity can be increased. 
Do this for 30 days and see how much more calm and aware you become in your surroundings.

After 30 days there is an advancement to this meditation:
(a) Move your attention to your chakras.
(b) Then repeat for each chakra, Third Eye, Throat Chakras, Heart Chakra, Solar plexus, Naval Plexus and finally the Root Chakra.

To end bring you focus back to the area between the nostril and upper lip and then to your breath. 
Breathe in and out naturally, again do not force it. 
Then slowly open your eyes and sit for a few minutes to adjust yourself back to reality. 
Tip: It is always good to keep a diary of what you felt during this mediation and see how it impacts you.

Layers of the Mind, journey from Consciousness to super conciousness

“The mind is everything. What you think you become” Buddha To perceive things better is an observation. The observation unfolds the entire reality of the mind and body as well as bring perfect repose to both every time, with practise. The real wisdom that brings real changes in one’s life would be come through this observation only. Observation is the one and only tool that will control  the three folds of the mind-stuff for the higher state of existence/super consciousness/ no-mind. This is the teaching of Buddha. Along with the physical process there is the psychic process, the mind and it comprises of four processes such like as conscious, perception, sensation and reaction. The Mind comprises of three layers; the conscious, the unconscious and the super-conscious. All of these layers have different functions to perform within the body. Conscious mind always brings about our ego- the ‘I’ and has an awareness of the objects within; and takes in raw material from the a...

Pag Chalan Asana - 'For Those Who Want To Do Things Differently'

“ Successful People don’t do different things, they do things differently ” I assume most of us have heard of above written lines at some point of their lives. This simple quote written above reveals a lot of about our lives and it’s patterns. In our lives every day we take several decisions. We weigh in the profits and loss and come to a conclusion which is generally in our favour. We all like favourable circumstances or events right? And what do we do when an adverse situation arises in our life? Most of us get panic and make the situation even worse by taking wrong actions or no actions at all to solve the problem. Those who keep their mind calm even if a situation is as big as a tornado comes out with a wise decision and wins the game of life that’s how they do things differently.  Anxiety , Sadness and Anger drains out our capabilities to think wisely which in return make us take wrong decisions. One has to keep his calm in order to get through the problems...

Which asanas and pranayama are better to do in winter

Those who are suffering from joint pains always dread winter, and their biggest concerns is the sudden intensity of pain which increases as the season advances. People with arthritis or affected by other orthopaedic pain witness a steady worsening of symptoms that are caused by the stiffening of muscles, ligaments and joints as temperatures decrease. Each joint and each group of muscles in the body might have a different level of flexibility that depends on muscular strength and cardio respiratory endurance. In early ages as childhood one has more flexibility in muscles, bones and joints which all together provide bubbling up energy all due to the best coordination among muscular strength, cardio respiratory endurance and sufficient prana energy. The movement of joints is facilitated by smooth hyaline cartilage that covers the bone ends and the synovial membrane that lines and lubricates. The following are some medically proven ways to beat cold and control pain in winter...
