10 Best Meditation Techniques of 2011:
Each title below is a link to the article with all the details including cautions, benefits, practice tips, etc. So click that to read the full article.
Perhaps the most potent technique with which to open and balance the Third Eye Chakra. This article includes a video teaching you how to practice this mantra technique correctly and safely.
Gayatri Mantra Meditation Posture
This wonderful Kundalini Yoga meditation was published back in 2009, but last year as part of the free yoga videos series, I created a video for it. So for complete details on this meditation, visit the original article, which has been updated with the new video as well - Kundalini Yoga's Kirtan Kriya.
This meditation uses mudras and mantras, along with mental focus to bestow its benefits. It is ideal for those looking for peace, tranquility and realization of their divine nature.
As some of these meditations combine many different yogic techniques, in 2011, in order to provide more clarity, I was busy creating videos for them. Above I have provided the link to the complete Lord Shiva Kriya, but if you want to read just the video article, you will find it here - Lord Shiva Meditation to Open Third Eye.
This particular meditation exploits the power of yoga pranayama, chakra visualization, yoga numerology, along with hand/eye mudras to help you open your Third Eye Center. It requires some willpower to master, so be prepared to give it your all.
Lord Shiva Meditation Technique
Looking for a pick me up? A boost? Something to bring a smile to your face and feelings of joy? Then this meditation is for you.
Designed to bring you out of a funk, this meditation helps bring forth positive thoughts and feelings. Perfect to combat difficult times in life, when you are feeling down and out.
You will find just the video article here - Happy Buddha Meditation Video.
The mind and breath are very closely related and one of the best ways to calm and control the mind, is by calming and controlling the breath. That is what Shabd Kriya helps you do.
As this meditation utilizes breath retention and breath suspension, please ensure you don't overdo it and build up your capacity slowly over time.
This is a great meditation to promote relaxation and stress relief, it is particularly helpful to those suffering from insomnia or anxiety.
The article, Chakra Healing | How to Analyze and Heal Your Chakras, will help you analyze the state of each of your chakras. Also, in that article are techniques to work on each of the chakras you find to be out of balance or blocked. If you find that it is the Crown Chakra that needs work, then use this meditation to help open and balance that center.
As with all chakra meditations, do not overdo it. Slow and steady is the best approach and listen closely to your body and heart. This technique is also quite challenging and be sure not to overstrain when practicing it.
Crown Chakra Meditation Technique
One of the more popular articles on meditation last year was this article, which detailed 2 meditations which bestow rapid stress relief and relaxation.
In the article you will find details of a Kundalini Yoga meditation that is designed specifically for bestowing relaxation quickly, and you will also find details of the most famous meditation of all, Zen Meditation or Breath Awareness Meditation. Hope you find them as useful as all the readers did in 2011.
Another wildly popular meditation from 2011, was this article on how to heal emotion wounds, hurts and traumas through meditation.
The approach used is really very useful for those who have suppressed unpleasant emotions and pain, and is ideal for deep emotional healing.
This article discusses the value of meditation for pain management as shown by recent research. The meditation that is prescribed is Zen Meditation Technique and significant benefits were realized by patients in just 4 sessions of 20 minutes each!
So if you or anyone you know is suffering from chronic pain, please share this information and technique with them.
This article summarizes the 3 best Third Eye Meditations, 2 of which are already on the list above - Gayatri Mantra and Lord Shiva Kriya. So what is the other best meditation for opening the Third Eye? AUM Mantra Meditation of course, and the link to that is below.
