Why should I meditate?
Meditation
is a powerful tool to help us restore the harmony within and to gain
access to our bodies' inner intelligence. In meditation, we rediscover
the silence in our mind and make it part of our life. Silence is the
birthplace of happiness. It is where we get our bursts of inspiration,
our tender feelings of compassion, our sense of love. Meditation is
a journey to freedom and self-knowledge..
What is Primordial Sound Meditation?
Dr.
Deepak Chopra, best selling author and leader in the holistic health
field, has revived Primordial Sound Meditation. This ancient form
of meditation which originates from India, uses mantras, or Primordial
Sounds, which are selected for each individual. This simple mantra
technique, which is practiced twice daily, allows our awareness to
go beyond the activity of our mind to the stillness of our spirit.
This process allows our bodies to gain the deep rest necessary to
release stress and fatigue. Dr. Chopra has made this authentic process
available in a format that can be easily learned and practiced by
everyone.
Who should learn to meditate?
Primordial
Sound Meditation can be learned by people of every age, education,
culture and religion. It is recommended for anyone who wishes to enjoy
greater peace, freedom and fulfillment
What
are the benefits of meditation?
During
Primordial Sound Meditation our minds become quiet allowing our bodies
to gain the deep rest necessary to release stress and fatigue. In
meditation we re-connect with our essence. This connection extends
into our daily lives and can result in improved health, more satisfying
relationships, increased creativity and renewed enthusiasm for life.
What are "Primordial Sounds"?
Primordial
Sounds are the basic, most essential sounds of nature. The specific
Primordial Sounds which are used in meditation are mantras. These
mantras are personal for each participant.
They are chosen on the basis of Vedic mathematics which determines
a specific sound or vibration of the Universe at the time and place
of our birth. When we silently repeat Primordial Sounds as part of
the mantra. they help to take our awareness away from the frenzy of
daily activity of the mind to the stillness of our spirit. The effect
soothes our entire physiology - mind, body and soul.
How will meditation affect my health?
Today,
doctors are increasingly citing stress as a major factor in such illnesses
as depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, cardiac pain, insomnia,
diabetes, ulcers, cold, fever, asthma, arthritis and alcoholism. Even
though meditation should not be considered a cure by itself, research
has shown that meditation contributes to reducing stress and achieving
deep relaxation and a profound state of rest. Meditation allows the
mind and body to function with maximum effectiveness. By reducing
stress, meditation has important benefits for a wide range of health
problems.
Will I need to change my lifestyle?
Primordial
Sound Meditation does not require specific beliefs or a change in
behavior or lifestyle. The only change or adjustment we need to make
is to allow the time to meditate regularly. Other than that, any changes
in our life come spontaneously.
