Meditation is one of the most precious techniques in yoga. The true meaning of yoga meditation is to completely focus on the heart, mind and spirit in the original beginning. Practicing meditation helps us relax mental stress and allow our brain to focus on our emotions.
Neuroscientists have found that if you allow your brain to meditate regularly, it not only becomes good at meditating, it also improves your self-control, improving your ability to focus, manage stress, restrain impulses, and self-awareness.
Let me introduce the "Conscious Breathing Meditation", which is a very basic and essential part of learning meditation. Daily breathing awareness meditation can relieve mental and physical stress and establish a good physical state.
First, choose a comfortable position to relax yourself, relax your whole body, do Vishnu mudra with your hands or rest naturally on your knees, relax your facial muscles, eyes, nose, lips, tongue, close your eyes, and focus on your breath up, breathing through your nose. You don't need to deliberately adjust your breathing, just observe the state of your breathing—the rhythm, speed, depth, or depth of your breathing, or quietly experience the tension and relaxation of your breathing. Observe the sound of your own breathing.
Second, let the state of breathing be natural and calm. If you like this method of meditation, relax as much as you can, and after a few minutes, your breathing will slowly level off and you will become more and more calm. Continue to observe your own breathing and continue to experience the rhythm and state of your breathing. Inhale and exhale will be quieter and smoother than before, and experience the peace between inhalation and exhalation. You can tell yourself with your heart: I'm breathing in slowly, and I'm breathing out slowly. When you breathe in, imagine yourself feeling the energy that nature gives your body; when you breathe out, feel all the tension, the turbid air coming out of your body.
Third, when the attention runs away from the breath, don't be in a hurry, just observe this "freedom" quietly, and then slowly bring your awareness back to your own breath. As you practice longer and more often, and as you become familiar and comfortable with this meditation method, you are sure to become more comfortable and calmer.
