AS A YOGA TRAINER, I LEARNED THESE TECHNIQUES AND TAUGHT TO THOUSANDS:

YOGA SHOULD BE PRACTICED UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE ONLY.

The 5-min EASY Mudra Breathing and Meditation technique for energy, memory, concentration, good health, etc.:

Practice the following is an easy way to wake up early, to concentrate better in studies, to remember better, to reduce weight, etc.

The easiest solution I have taught to thousands of people already as a Yoga Trainer is as follows:

Sit in Vajrasana. The position of kneeling, sitting with legs folded and knees touching each other and hands touching the body as shown.

RULES TO BE FOLLOWED COMPULSORILY:

If you have taken heavy food, you need to do this mudra yoga only 3-4 hours later. If taken tea or coffee, 1 hour later. On empty stomach, you can do this in the morning for 5 min.

To do this type of mudra yoga breathing, your nose must not be blocked by cold. You can do this only if both nostrils are open and you can breath normally.

Holding each mudra position, take deep breath: inhale slowly, inhale fully: exhale slowly, exhale fully. Do this 7 times for each position of the hand on the thighs consecutively in the same order with eyes closed.

DO THIS IN A CLEAN AND DUST & SMOKE - FREE place only.

Though this is the least strenuous type of breathing, if you face any problems while doing this, consult yoga trainers.

Ladies should not practice this for 3 days during their monthly periods.

These five mudras, 7 times each, will take a total of 5 min to do. Do 7 cycles (1 cycle = once inhale, once exhale) of breathing for each mudra. Do not do more.

Practice this for 7 days, check if your sleep is reduced or not and get back to me. If helpful, you can continue this throughout your life.

Then you need to do deep breathing in 5 positions of palm and fingers one after other consecutively in the same order as shown below:

CHIN MUDRA: This mudra Palm facing down, thumb index finger making a ring and other 3 fingers touching each other, to be placed on the lap, as shown:

CHINMAYA MUDRA: Palm facing down, to be kept on the lap as shown.

ADI MUDRA: Thumb below the little finger, folding other four fingers over the thumb, Palm facing down, to be kept on the lap.

MERU DANDA: Both hands to be in this position to be kept on the lap.

PURNA MUDRA: Make this position of the hands, keep on the lap, palm facing up and press on the lap straightening the shoulders.

MEDITATION:

First, let us look at what is meditation.

You bathe when you are feeling sticky or dirty. When you bathe, you sing becasue, you are getting fresher, i.e. cleaner.

When your bath room is dirty, you cannot just clean it by pouring water. You need some strong agent to remove the dirt. So you use toilet cleaning chemicals which kick off the sticky dirt and totally clean up the bathroom.

Now think how and when do you clean up your mind? It gets cleaned to some extent during sleep. What does not get cleaned up in sleep becomes stress, disease, etc.

So, you need an activity to clean up the stress, which are stored as chemicals in all parts of your body. Meditation takes the mind to alpha state, when the body self-cleans the stored up chemicals slowly making you cleaner, lighter, fresher.

Meditation is not thoughtlessness.

If you think that you should have no thought, that becomes another thought.

So, you need to learn HOW TO MEDITATE.

First, do not create any thought.

Second, do not continue any thought.

Third, do not stop any thought.

If you learn to do these, you are really sitting silently and that is known as relaxing meditation. There are other types of meditation which Yoga masters teach. Do not play with your mind. Always do any form of YOGA under supervision or GUIDANCE only till you perfect the practice.

Just as a moving fan takes time to stop moving even after switching off, it needs time to for the thoughts to slow down and stop.

Also it depends how have you been leading life and your stress level, past worries, etc..

Experiences during meditation: This is something unique for everyone. What one sees or feels or sees during meditation is

entirely different from what others do. It should be only discussed with one's master/spiritual guide and not with others.

Some examples are:

Floating sensation, travelling in a light tunnel, hearing different types of music such as flute, seeing some future events, feeling happy, etc.

But these experience should never be expected.

Benefits of Meditation:

Though there are various benefits of different forms of mediation, some important ones can be listed here.

Feeling relaxed

Feeling calm and cool i.e. feel peace of mind

Feeling well-being and happiness and positivity

Feeling clarity of thought

Reduced sleep.

Reduced reactivity as meditation teaches us to be non-reactive.
