Active meditation (Kundalini)
Prerequisites:
No knowledge or previous experiences are required. Everybody is welcome regardless of her or his age, health, background, and perspective.
Traditional meditations are passive and require us to sit still in silence to achieve a meditative state that can help us in our active life. But this is difficult for modern man who experiences high levels of stress, outer stimulation and demands in daily life.
On the other hand, active meditation in which movement and silence are involved, have been designed to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, and develop the ability of watching our thoughts and habitual patterns in a new way. It is more practical for the modern world.
Examples of active meditations are Nadabrahma, Nataraj, Dynamic and Kundalini..
Benefits (Physical, mental and emotional):
This course provides new insights about the nature of the mind, opportunity to meet with other like-minded people, and inspirations on relationships. We achieve:
· Improved immune system, concentration and over all health.
· Deep relaxation, inner peace and silence for days after the meditation.
· Better stress management and freedom from habits and addictions.
· Increased ability to let go, laugh, and live with joy
Instructions: Kundalini meditation is one hour long (four stages of 15 minutes) and best practised in the late afternoon or at sunset.
The first two stages, shaking and dancing, help in moving repressed and blocked energies. When that energy flows dance becomes a total joy. The last two stages, sitting and laying down, enable all this energy to move upwards into silence.
It is a very effective way of letting go at the end of the day.
Layout: Questions, information on meditations, challenges and difficulties are discussed in the first half hour, then one hour of Kundalini active meditation of four stages is explained and practiced.
