Q) What are the different meditation techniques?
Meditation involves concentrating on something to take our attention beyond the random thought activity that is usually
going on in our heads. This can involve a solid object or picture, a mantra, breath, or guided visualization.
Typical objects employed include a candle flame or a flower. Mantras are sounds, which have a flowing, meditative
quality and may be repeated out loud or inwardly. The breath is also a common focal point. Finally, guided visualization
is also considered by some to be a form of meditation.
Q) What is the best time of day to meditate?
While meditation is beneficial at any time, most people, who meditate agree that early morning is the best time to
meditate.
Q) What are the physiological effects of meditation?
The most common physiological effects of meditation are: reduced blood pressure, lower pulse rate, decreased
metabolic rate and changes in the concentration of serum levels of various substances.
What is Vipassana Meditation technique?
Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was
rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal
ills, i.e., an Art Of Living
Since the time of Buddha, Vipassana has been handed down, to the present day, by an unbroken chain of teachers.
Although Indian by descent, the current teacher in this chain, Mr. S.N. Goenka, was born and raised in Burma
(Myanmar). While living there he had the good fortune to learn Vipassana from his teacher, Sayagyi U Ba Khin who was
at the time a high Government official. After receiving training from his teacher for fourteen years, Mr. Goenka settled in
India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. Since then he has taught tens of thousands of people of all races and all
religions in both the East and West.
Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind
and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the
body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory
journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and
compassion.
The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use physical exercises to improve our bodily health,
Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind.
Because it has been found to be genuinely helpful, great emphasis is put on preserving the technique in its original,
authentic form. It is not taught commercially, but instead is offered freely. No person involved in its teaching receives any
material remuneration. More details at http://www.dhamma.org/
