Japa Meditation
Definition: Recitation to calm down the mind from past and future tensions to tensionless present is JAPA MEDITATION.
Introduction:
Repeating the mantra or Sanskrit words can vibrate the body cells and create
resonance which further ends as silence. This if repeated for hours together,
the resting metabolism can be felt more easily and the freshness of the cells
happens automatically. These bodily changes within the high energy environment
also encourage the potentiality of the person. This is how the saints in olden
days use to be healthy without pleasures and comforts than the hygienic royal
life of kings. Such difference should be felt by a Yoga practitioner atleast
once in the presence of his or her teacher. Full Moon day or Poornima is the
day for such experiments.
Purpose:
To feel the energy layer of human existence or Pranamaya Kosha, Japa Meditation
helps.
Method:
Choose a comfortable Mantra and recite with meaning in front of the Moon or God
picture or River etc. As the easily recognizable energy centers are 108,
recitation also must be the same number. If this is repeated for 9 rounds, the
resonance and silence can be amplified inside. “Maha Mrutyunjai” Mantra is considered for the physical and mental
healing. So we use this Mantra and ask the others to repeat for 3 rounds and
join for a single voice.
Application:
Sit in any meditative posture, keeping the energy outlets like fingers and toes
towards root center or Mooladhara Chakra.
Right hand can be used for the rotation of 108 beads in forward direction to
complete the 108 times pronunciation.
Observations for
Students: This allows the better flow of
individual energy upwards to Sahasrara or Crown center where it meets the
Cosmic energy. This meeting can be heard as a sound in the head region for few
minutes to hours during the night.
Importance for General
People: Having such events as part of 200 hour
Yoga Teacher Training Course, can vibrate the practicing area. It cleanses the
environment and keeps the living beings healthy around. So, Yoga practitioners
can learn the tradition of Yogic life and take the spiritual value of Yoga to
the next generations. Definitely the climatic changes can be in tune with the
timings.
