Types of Meditation
Mantra Recitation

In Hindu mythology there is a strong belief that by chanting different Mantras works as remedial measures to dissolve the malefic effects of planets’ energies. For every planet different mantras are framed in our Shastras.

How Mantras work

Every vibration has a corresponding sound and everything in the universe too has a vibration and thus a sound. Each atom, molecule, cell, object, group of objects and even the entire universe has its own collection of vibrations and unique sounds.

When you chant a mantra, you merge with the sound vibration and becomes one with the energy wavelength of the object of your mantra. Mantra chanting makes you one with everyone, everywhere who is chanting that mantra and with everyone who has ever chanted the mantra.

By chanting a mantra, your cells, molecules, atoms, and sub-atomic particles all vibrate in the same wavelength as the mantra. Once attuned with this vibration you connect with everything resonating on that plane of existence. It’s like tuning a radio.

Om Mantra Chanting

Om is the universal sound. It is within every word and everything. When you chant Om, you merge with all energy and all forms, from the sub-atomic to the universal, from the most gross to the most divine. And when you are tuned perfectly, you will receive holy frequencies clearly and merge and emerge at one with the source of all and live happily.

Before the beginning, the Brahmaa (absolute reality) was one and non-dual. He thought, "I am only one -- may I become many." This caused a vibration, which eventually became sound and this sound was Om. Creation itself was set in motion by the vibration of Om.

The closest approach to Brahmaa is that first sound, Om. Thus, the sacred symbol of Om has become emblematic of Brahmaa just as images are emblematic of material objects. The vibration produced by chanting Om in the physical universe corresponds to the original vibration that first arose at the time of creation.

The OM (AUM) is a widely recognised mantra and has a variety of meanings; one of its most significant uses is for Meditation. Three sounds of AUM ("A", "U" and "M") symbolises specific states of consciousness. After these three parts of the OM mantra, there is a Silence.

The A is deep and comes from the throat. It is pronounced without any part of the tongue or palate in contact. The U sound comes from the middle of the sounding board, the palate. In Sanskrit, the A and U join together becomes O. The sound of O vibrates from the navel/ solar plexus area and sent up to the sternum to the voice region, the lips, where the M sound is prolonged and vibrated up to the crown of the head.

This vibrating M is felt intellectually and metaphysically in every cell of the body and is beamed out lovingly, soothingly, powerfully to everything, everyone and everywhere. A stands for physical or material world perceptible to the senses, U represents the astral and dream planes. M is the unknown, deep sleep contains the entire spectrum of sound, words, world and concepts. So Om represents the source of all light, love and wisdom.

It is advantageous for spiritual development to consider the theological, philosophical and mystical aspects of Om while chanting with your physical eyes closed, looking through the third eye and paying attention to your breath. This may seem complex and complicated, but once it gets started, it happens naturally as Om reveals itself to you.

The Symbol Om

Just as the sound of Om represents the real state of Brahmaa, the symbol Om written in Sanskrit also represents everything. The material world in waking state is symbolised by the large lower curve. The deep sleep state is represented by the upper left curve. The dream state, lying between the waking state below and the deep sleep state above, emanates from the confluence of the two.

The point and semicircle are separate from the rest and rule the whole world. The point represents the state of absolute consciousness. The open semicircle is symbolic of the infinite and the fact that the meaning of the point cannot be grasped if one limits oneself to finite thinking.

The Power of Chanting Om

The chanting of Om drives away all worldly thoughts and removes distraction and infuses new vigour in the body. Those who chant Om definitely have a powerful, sweet voice. Whenever you take a stroll, you can chant Om. You can also sing Om in a beautiful way. The rhythmic pronunciation of Om makes the mind serene and pointed, which infuses the spiritual qualifications and ensures self-realisation.

Meditation on Om
Pollution free meditation

We are aware of four kind of pollutions namely, land, air, water and noise which are of major concern of today. Apart from these there exists one more kind, which is also not less dangerous and harmful than these. That pollution exists within human body itself and is known as mental pollution. This pollution when formed within, takes form of various kind of tensions. Five major elements that lead to mental pollution are:

All these elements lead to mental pollution. Consequently, if a person is an introvert, he destroys himself internally by being tense all the time and if he is extrovert, he affects the society adversely.

How this pollution can be eliminated

Polluted mind cannot be cured by medicines. Mind is a collection of memories, thoughts; and because of this, it can be cured through thoughts only. If a mind is filled with unhealthy thoughts, it is bound to behave negatively. So in order to cure, it is necessary to spray fresh and healthy thoughts into it.

These healthy thoughts can be very easily produced through intellect and knowledge. The mere understanding of the fact that commotions are the major cause of all the problems urge as a bold step towards purification of an unhealthy mind.

Tranquil Meditation (Trataka)

Conscious living is a very useful way for handling day-to-day stress. But if meditation induced awareness is created, it explores the real secrets of life. Through tranquil meditation the concentration is focused at a particular point, which further expands the consciousness in a broader and wiser way.
This Meditation has been systematised on two main principles viz. Right Concentration and Right Awareness.

Energy Healing Meditation

As the name suggests, this meditation helps in healing through evoking universal cosmic energy. In this simple healing meditation, you send the powerful healing Life Force Energy directly to the area it requires inside the body. This Life Force is the energy behind all healing. Wherever this energy is flowing in balance, there is perfect health and well being. Wherever this energy is blocked or out of balance, illness manifests.

Ascension Meditation

Spiritual traditional Masters have spoken of the ultimate goal of meditation and have called it as Enlightenment; Self Realisation, God Realisation; Cosmic Consciousness or Mukti etc. Currently, the term "Ascension" is emerging in our collective consciousness to refer to this goal, so we use that term for consistency.
There are four sublime "abiding" for the mind and heart:
