Trataka

[Please don't do this meditation in train or bus i.e. while traveling. You'll not be able to do it properly when your body is in motion. ]
Sit in the lotus pose (cross legged). [if it not possible for you then  sit comfortably on chair or bad]

keep your spine straight.

close your eyes.

inhale and exhale deeply for 3 times.

Now concentrate on the middle of your forehead around the area which is a few centimeters above the middle of your eyes.

Keep your eyes closed and draw both of your eyes towards this center point of 3rd eye. I  mean just look upwards with your eyes closed . Focus your closed eyes at  20-25 degrees above just at the center of the forehead (at the place of third eye.) Now slowly at about two-second interval, start counting in your mind backward from one hundred to one (that is 100,99,98,97....and so on). As you do it, keep your eyes centered towards the third eye.
Here I want to clear a doubt which comes in the mind of many people ]
Well it seems too vogue to know the exact position of third eye. In the middle of forehead is OK. but as I try to concentrate my both eyes at that point I get confused where is the exact point of third eye ? Is there a way to know that I have centered my eyes exactly on third eye?
Answer : To know exactly that you have centered your eyes on the third eye is very simple. As you draw your eyes towards the center of forehead by looking upwards at 20-25 degree angle, at a particular point both of your eyes will become still, absolutely motionless. You will feel as if a force is slowly pulling your eyes towards itself. It will be just like a magnetic attraction. As and when you experience this state, you'll be at the right point ! ]

Do you know what you'll feel ? You'll feel a pleasant strain on your eyes. 
yes ! a pleasant strain in eyes.
   There will be a strain but you will enjoy it. By the time you reach 3..2...1(in backward counting), you will feel a strange sensation in and around your third eye. There will be a feeling which is difficult to describe in words. Keep your concentration on third eye.

Once you achieved this state of stillness of eyes many of you will feel as if you can see your thoughts. Just like a screen you will see your thought appearing before you
. Have you ever thought what is the source through which we see the inner thought process of our body ?. When you close your eyes there are many things which we see and observe. We observe all those things through third eye.

Your thoughts will stop. If they appear at all, you will be able to see them like a dream. In this situation you will realize the real watcher in you. You will be able to easily perceive the witness inside you. Something different from body and mind and yet a part of you.

Just be in this state for 10-15 minutes.

Now slowly  return from this state to the state of normalcy. Release the strain from your eyes and slowly shift them from the third eye to their normal position.   Let them loose and free. Move your consciousness from the third eye.

Be still for few minutes. Allow the eyes to retain their normal movements. Inhale and exhale deeply for three time. Slowly open your eyes. Your meditation is complete.

This third eye meditation is a very powerful method for developing concentration. This is also a very very helpful exercise for eyes too. Your eyes will remain healthy. No matter how much strain and tension your eyes are subjected to in a day, doing this meditation daily in morning and evening insure your eyes against any further damage.

Meditating on 'Agya Chakra' is also believed to be helpful in developing intuitive power.  Doing this meditation regularly certainly helps in developing intuition but I must clarify that the concept of intuition and clairvoyance are beyond the scope of this website. Here we will restrict ourselves with just  learning meditation. Please note that  we should not learn meditation for gaining some kind of meta-physical or supernatural expertise.

Learn meditation for the sheer joy of meditation, for the bliss it provides us. If you expect something from it, you will deviate from the path . Don't expect anything and you may get many rewards.

Witness Observer Meditation

Get comfortable, in a quiet place. Make sure you have turned off all potential distractions, such as the phone and your kids (i.e. shut the door). Bring your awareness into yourself. Feel your breath slow down. Feel your head/mind connect to your heart. Place your awareness on your breath for about five minutes. Notice what is going on within your body. If something hurts, just breath into it. During this time of simple breathing for five to ten minutes, your electromagnetic field is balancing, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems balance, and your energy shifts into the most core essence of your being, located just below the belly button. When you’re ready, smile just slightly and invite in your witness/observer. If you’re visual, you might see a young child, a nature spirit, or some other symbol of trust and innocence. Perhaps you hear the voice of your witness/observer or feel a shift in your body. Just notice what changes or perhaps doesn’t change. If nothing happens, say, “I wonder if it happened, and I just haven’t noticed it yet?” “I wonder if for now, I choose to believe I have a witness/observer anyway?” Feel how your body feels when you ask those questions. With soft eyes look around you. Listen to the sounds in your environment. For further entrainment purposes you can practice this meditation every day for three weeks.

Knowing

When something is right and good for you, it resonates within you in a compelling and unmistakable way. You know just because you know…and not because anyone or anything outside you has convinced you. Your inner being speaks so loudly and clearly that you don’t need confirmation or validation from the outer world.
If you want to know if a potential course of action is right for you, be honest about how you feel about it. If it feels like a fit for you, move with it. If it doesn’t feel like a fit, don’t act on it. If thinking about something doesn’t feel good, doing it is not going to feel better. And if thinking about something feels good, doing it will probably feel even better.
Your guidance speaks to you in a way that is unique and meaningful for you. For some people, that knowing brings a sense of peace or relief, like hearing a familiar favorite song. Others feel tingly, bubbly, or experience a sense of exhilaration and increased life force. Then there are those who feel a visceral sensation, such as goose bumps or the hairs on the back of their neck standing up.
Get to know how you personally experience your inner guidance, and then move with it. Practice doing only those things that match your joy, and avoiding deeds that grate against you. Make enthusiasm a prerequisite for action and you will progress to a new level of joy and success in your business and relationships.
If you do not know what choice to make, wait until you receive a stronger impression. Put the issue aside temporarily, ask for guidance from your inner sage, and keep listening and watching for signs. You might receive an insight in a dream; hear a key word from a friend; or someone may recommend a book that sounds interesting to you. You may see a magazine ad with a slogan that speaks to you directly. Or you may simply tap into a stronger feeling. Trust your knowing, however it arrives and expresses. Your answer may come immediately, or it might take a while. But it will come in the perfect way and time.
Other people can suggest, counsel, and guide, but their suggestions are worthwhile only if they resonate with your inner being. Try advice on for size, and accept only what fits you and enhances your life. Someone, something, some place inside you knows. Admit it, trust it, and act on it. You are inherently wise and lovingly guided.
We have been taught that we must search the world for answers, while they live within us. The story is told of the fabled musk dear that searches the mountains and valleys for the source of an exotic aroma. Eventually the deer discovers that the aroma is emanating from itself. Likewise, we do not need to struggle for guidance or spend a lot of time seeking advice. You may receive many opinions from well-meaning and qualified people. Yet since you are the one who must live with your choices, you must make them in accord with your heart.

How To Get What You Want

Follow the four keys to manifestation.

Intention: Be very clear, state what you want, not what you don’t want. Write it down.

Attention: What you focus on expands, so focus only on what you want, not on what you don’t want.

Action: Step directly into action. Watch for clues. Is it an effort or does it flow easily?

Release The Outcome: Trying to will what you want to happen will keep you from seeing a better version of your dream.

And, one last important element – you must have faith you will succeed.

This helps when you are almost there, but there is a little too much effort involved. If there’s effort, and you struggle through it, you will regret it later.

Rid Yourself of ANTS (Negative Thoughts)

I recently discovered a profoundly effective way to stop my ANTs in their tracks. It’s a simple mind, body, balancing technique called brain wave vibration. It combines ancient healing practices and energy training methods from Korea with modern scientific understanding of the brain.

At its core, the technique uses basic vibration exercises to stop the thinking mind, calm higher-frequency brain wave activity and circulate the body’s energy. It incorporates three distinct elements: deliberately making vibrations in your body, allowing your body to ride the rhythm, and following the flow of energy. By tapping into the body’s inherent rhythm, we’re able to release tension and reach states of deep relaxation similar to that achieved through traditional forms of sitting mediation.

The head nod method is the simplest form of brain wave vibration. It can be done standing, sitting or lying down and is designed to deliver vibrations directly to our brain stem for deep relaxation and tension release. Even just three minutes will clear the head, enhance our focus, and leave us feeling more energized. Try it for yourself:

Sit-up straight with arms at your sides. Close eyes and breathe comfortably, relaxing your body completely. Begin to gently shake your head from side to side. Breathe naturally and fully, emphasizing the exhalation, as you envision all tension draining from your body. Focus on your brain stem at the base of your neck. You may hear slight noises or popping sounds at the base of your skull. This is normal. Allow your head to move up and down, side to side, or even in the shape of an infinity symbol as you go deeper into the motion. After a few minutes, slow to a stop, take a deep breath and return to your external awareness.

It’s nearly impossible to engage the ANTS when your head is shaking to and fro. I imagine them scattering in all directions, just as if I had kicked their mound. As my brain clears, and my body and mind regain their natural equilibrium, I can examine the ANTS more closely. I can unveil the false beliefs behind them, see that they make no sense, and witness how they eat away at my life. It’s in these moments that they can be totally eradicated and replaced with more self-affirming, positive thoughts.

Here are more great and simple exercises to quickly remove thouse pesky negative thoughts and quickly raise your vibration.


The following baby-easy techniques click on our Parasympathetic Nervous System, and take us awayfrom stress, angst, and panic. There is some scientific evidence that Brainwave VibrationModifications produce improved health, healing, and a positive mental attitude.

1.Abdominal breathing: most folks living in cities are shallow-breathers, which causesheadaches and lack of adequate oxygen for our brain. Did you know your 3-pound coconut(brain) uses 25% of the oxygen supply for your entire body?Deeply breathe by sucking in your gut, hold the breath for 5-seconds, and slowly exhalethrough your mouth. Do 6-8 inhalations to trigger a flood of new oxygen to your brain.

2.Close your eyes (you automatically go into Alpha) and focus your imagination (mentalvisualization) on slowly exhaling through your mouth. It lowers your heart-rate after 120seconds. You feel better and create a healing energy.

3.Tapping on the top of your head (brain). Use the three-finger method, joining your thumb,index and middle-fingers of both hands. Start tapping at the front of your forehead, thenmiddle of your skull, and finally toward the rear of your head. How long? Six-taps with thefingers of both hands, for each area of the brain is a good trigger. An exact count does notcount.Why? According to some researchers, tapping on your Frontal Neural-Vascular Points (brain)causes new blood to flow to your brain. So? It unites your left and right hemispheres, andchanges the flow of your Sodium-Potassium chemistry. It is the key to your heart rate, bloodpressure, and energy. It is deeply involved with your Adrenal glands and Electrolytes

4.Shaking (rolling) your head to a rhythm. This is the stupidest technique of the four, except that it really works like crazy. Either listen to quick music or play a tune in your head. You want toget your entire mind-body-connection, particularly your head, neck, and shoulders intomoving in a circular rhythm.Imagine seeing kids at a concert and mentally notice how their entire bodies move to therhythmic music they hear. Sway your lower body with a connected movement to your uppertorso.

Your head is the key to this stress relief. Swinging and swaying your head, neck, and shoulders is the secret. Your lower body will naturally follow in tune with your upper half. And These four exercises of Brainwave Vibration Modification are to be experienced, not just text you read (learned knowledge). It is doing the movements and changing your vibrationalfrequencies, and not just reading these brilliant ideas, and nodding your head in agreement.
