It reveals how meditation can rejuvenate and enhance brain power. Amongst the 102 techniques of meditation, we can experience and then practice any method suitable to us. These are simply different routes to the same destination- YOU.

I sincerely hope, articles (like the one below) help us to stay committed to this process called ‘meditation’.

I have experienced the near instant results of ‘Active’ meditation. Thus, I share this technique in my community in Vancouver (at Maayoga.com & yatrayoga.com). I invite everyone to come and enjoy this technique. Maybe your search ends here :)

Do read this link-

New York Times tells it all!

But for most of us, accumulated stress and suppressed emotions in our body-n-mind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our stillness and inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions. Active Meditations have been scientifically designed to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, learning the knack of watching our habitual patterns in a new way.
Active Meditation is ‘Soul Gym’ for spiritual fitness!
I share (below) a quick Ten-minute daily Active meditation called Gibberish…hope you enjoy it :-)

- First Stage: Gibberish
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, close your eyes and begin to say nonsense sounds – any sounds or words, so long as they make no sense. Let go of your emotions, expressing yourself through a language you don’t know! Allow yourself to express whatever needs to be expressed within you. Throw everything out. The mind always thinks in terms of words. Gibberish helps to break up this pattern of continual verbalization. Without suppressing your thoughts, you can throw them out. In the same way, let your body be expressive. Feel free to move your arms around. Do this for four full-minutes (time yourself and let the beep go at the end of 4 mins)

- Second Stage: Moving In
After four minutes of Gibberish, sit down (eyes continue to be closed)- Guide yourself into a space of deep silence, stillness and relaxation. Be still for three minutes. Simply watch the exhaustion felt by the body, watch the lightness felt by the heart unburdening itself and watch any thoughts come and go.

- Third Stage: Let-Go
Another bell rings. Without arranging yourself, just allow yourself to fall down “like a bag of rice,” so you are lying on your back, utterly still and relaxed with your eyes closed, hands by your side, palms facing upwards, legs uncrossed- as you are guided even more deeply into a silent stillness. Remain still for another three minutes.

At the final bell (i.e. end of ten minutes), slowly open your eyes and rise with the reminder to carry the glimpse of silent awareness you may have had, into everyday activities.

To Believe in your dreams, to Believe in yourself, to finally Believe in the power of the Universal Energy is the key. Do you remember the times when your kid was an infant and whilst playing you threw him/her up in the air? Your baby laughed! Imagine being flung in the air and the kid laughs….why? Because your child has complete belief that you will hold him when he comes down. That’s what I call ‘BELIEF’. Can you believe in the larger, more powerful universal energy just as your child believed (maybe still believes) in you?! Can you not say- ‘I will do it’ and instead believe that it will be done!

True manifesting has just begun, friends :-)

What if you tweek it to- ‘Life is a spiral’…how does that seem? Life begins in a round and before it can become a circle, you can twist it into a spiral, giving it infinite possibilities, infinite strength and make life infinitely powerful!
Your life gets its power from you. Your power lies in your dreams. So before you begin to make your dreams come true, the question is- what are your dreams? How powerful are they? Are you dreaming big enough?
The first step- write down your dream of life. As you write it, begin to feel what it is doing for you. Is it expansive? Does your dream make you feel as if you are standing on a peak and your life is the scenic beauty?
The art of manifesting begins with focussing on the Dream- if you get that right, you are one step closer to making your dream a reality.
I leave you to ponder on this, before we take our next step. Send in your views and any questions you may have to:

It is of particular relevance in today’s age as it uses music-n-dance as its base (making it appealing to all of us) and has scientific stages leading to the reduction of stress and anxiety, releasing positive energies from within, rejuvenating the quality of life and leading to self-awareness.
There are stages(music changes at every stage) which scientifically lead one from the mind chakra to the heart and finally to the solarplexes- seat of all energy. Once we allow and let go of ourselves, the process automatically takes us to a stage of peace,awareness and rejuvenation.
Do let me know if you’d like to attend and I shall send you a free invite, with all details :-)

What requires our awareness is to establish where we are today and then determine where we want to go…in order to achieve a life of fulfillment!
As a life-coach, I have urged you(in my previous posting),to create a perfect life wheel for yourself.Too good to be true??!!! NO! It is absolutely achievable. To give you an idea, check out the following link.Its an exercise called the ‘wheel of life’. Once it knocks on your doors of awareness and once your interest is aroused, I strongly suggest that you take the assistance of a certified life-coach and ensure that you achieve your most ideal life…together!!!
