Vamachara - Meditations

In this meditation, we bring attention into the heart, settling our awareness at the center of the chest and breathing to unburden our heart of weight and trouble.

This meditation invites "dharana" -- the experience of focussed concentration, holding attention and awareness in a very specific way. Note: for focussed concentration a yantra, such as the Kamala yantra associated with this episode, can be a powerful point of focus.

This 11 minute meditation explores stillness, finding the soft way to experience stillness, quiet, motionless calm in body, mind, and heart. The best way to experience this meditation is lying down on a comfortable surface. Bed, sofa, or soft rug!

In this nine minute meditation, we use sound to deepen our awareness of silence and gain access to silence and stillness regardless of the sound and the noise that might appear to be around us, or even within us.

Holding ourself in the role of observer, allowing all that happens to happen around us -- and within us! -- allows us the opportunity to wake up, again and again, to stepping out of the stream of thoughts and happenings and into the place of noticing and awareness.

In this meditation we open to sound and to physical sensation to experience the body and our relationship with the world around us in a new way.

This is a great meditation to do any time you have been concentrating in a very focussed way for an extended period of time, or when you are feeling stress, tension, or anxiety. It promotes peace and calm in the mind, aliveness in the body, and restores acuity to mental faculties.

This 10 minute meditation focusses breath and attention in a manner to quickly cultivate tranquility of mind and peace and calm in your body.
