 Eastern Meditation: The Himalayan Tradition of Yoga Meditation
Eastern meditation is the science and art of observing, accepting and training each level of our being. This popular form of eastern meditation enables us to integrate and coordinate those aspects of ourselves, and dwell in the experience of consciousness. Many claim the yoga practiced today is separate from yoga meditation, but it is not because yoga is a form of eastern meditation. The main difference is with the popular belief that yoga is all about the posture when it is actually a complete process unto itself and only a small part relates to the physical body.
One systematically works with the body, breath, senses and various mind levels to go beyond the center of consciousness with the Himalayan form of yoga meditation. The yoga meditation taught by Himalayan Sages was divided into smaller segments and it is already considered a complete science. Unfortunately, these segments became isolated and known as separate forms of eastern meditation, rather than one component. There are a broad range of practices for yoga meditation that have a helpful approach to the mind and body. Just a couple of these practices include:
Meditation
Meditation evolves in different sages, where it needs focus. That focus can range from a visual image to a religious symbol to breath.
- Actual, physical objects: Eastern meditation considers words and objects as focus for meditation. Concentrating on these particular objects can increase the chance to progress with your meditation techniques.
- Non-Physical objects: Second is the shift to the non-objective form of the object, the transfer of focus from the physical object, to its non-objective features (the details).
- Discovering the essence: The third step involved in eastern meditation involves going beyond the physical or discrete features of the object, and discovering the joy of the essence.
- I-ness: The fourth step in eastern meditation involves understanding more about the core of the thing itself, the meaning of everything. This particular step is never fully achieved but the path set by this step is sure to make a change within the individual.
Yoga meditation is similar to many other eastern meditation forms, is systematic and always moving inward, like from a gross subtle object to one with meaning.
Mantra
The Mantra also develops and evolves in stages, whether it is the mantra of a particular religion of the short phrase of Sanskrit. It can also be incorporated into eastern meditation. The mantra also develops more with practice.
- The mantra is spoken internally or externally.
- Then it is heard either internally or externally.
- The mantra is then later experienced as a feeling, or
- Pervasive awareness, a form of awareness that touches our core.
