Why meditate ? and where to begin ?-By Sri Preethaji

The mystic dynamic behind meditation explained

Question : what is the basis of meditation? It sometimes feels spooky; sometimes more like a fad that people want to display.
Should I begin the practice at all and where?

Sri Preethaji:

Meditation is not a fad or a fashion.  It is an ancient science that was cultivated in the India for thousands of years.  While the West cultivated prayer for centuries; in the India millions of people dedicated their entire lives to the study and the pursuit of meditation and consciousness.
Take the terracotta seals found in the Indus valley civilisation.  These seals are nearly 7,000 years old or even older. They show case yogis in proper Meditation postures.
While people may pursue meditation for numerous reasons, to us it is a path to move away from stressful states of mind to beautiful states of being.
The meditations that Krishnaji and I teach are easy and powerful, they are also scientific and spiritual, yogic and universal.
While there may be many basis for meditation, our meditations are built on what we call “The Transformation Triad” of Breath-Mind-Consciousness.
Let me give you a simple understanding of the Transformation triad.
Our Meditations built on the Transformation triad take you beyond helplessness to calm, clarity and connection- To health, vitality and vigour.
Most meditations out there use only one or two of these three elements. We use an approach that integrates all three.
Each of the 3 can act as a tool to shift the other two elements.
Let us say, you are experiencing angry thoughts and are not able to free yourself using the mind itself. Working your way through breath could be a path. This is breath impacting the mind. So you may start with breath-based practices.

Let us say, you are gripped by anxiety, your breath would be erratic and short. And the more your breath is out of harmony, your anxiety would go out of charts. As you move into a meditative observation of your anxiety, you would notice your breath become easy, slow and even. Your entire body moves away from stress into deep relaxation. This is the mind impacting your breath and your body. If you are open to it, you may begin with observation-based practices.

By the same token, when your consciousness transforms and you experience a beautiful state of connection beyond your limited self, the arising of anger, fear or sadness itself is minimised. This is consciousness impacting the mind.

Here is something I would want you to remember.

•Relax your body through meditation - it heals.

•Observe your mind in meditation– it calms.

•Awaken to an experience of connection beyond the self in consciousness - you become liberated.

If you are still looking for a reason to meditate let me tell you this - Meditation impacts us physically, chemically, neurologically and emotionally.

And Why don't you begin with the soul sync practice - a meditation that beautifully integrates  the Transformation triad and helps you break free of negative emotions. It would be a great starting point. All it takes is 10 minutes to do it. Try practising soul sync meditation for 21 days in a row on our Breathing room Meditation app and you will see the tremendous impact.

There are a 100 delightful meditation practices on our Breathing room Meditation app.

I suggest you take a walk through our app.

Ultimately To experience a wonderful Meditation is like taking a plunge into  the warm waters of the sea, instead of analysing how it would be if you got into water by sitting on the beach. There is no way of knowing a thing until you get in to it.
