A 10 minutes Breath Awareness Meditation: Romshri

Romshri guides us through one of the oldest meditation practices called "Zazen."

By Romshri Manisha Ashesh |  August 30, 2018 | Guided Meditation

The oldest meditation of Zen Buddhist tradition is the simplest as well. We all need a calm corner amidst of our hectic lives to recharge, rejuvenate and reawaken. Our flash mob meditation concept ATM: Any Time Meditation is based on this only. You can do it anywhere, anytime but nothing can beat a morning meditation!

So without wasting time, let’s do it.

Step 1: Sit comfortably, with your back straight. 

Set a soothing timer for 10 minutes.  Find a calm place where you would not be disturbed. Sit in a relaxed posture but back straight. You can visualize your backbone as a pole and your rest of body as a coat resting on it. Keep your neck straight too but not stressed. Close your eyes and relax. Gently move your attention away from what you’re thinking to the sensations in your forehead and around your eyes. Cut yourself from outer world for a while and turn your focus inward.

Step 2: Relax & Release.

Take three deep breaths. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.  Release all the tension and let go off all the stress. Breathe in only peace and relaxation. Now breathe only through your nose naturally. Breathing in, know you’re breathing in. Breathing out, know you’re breathing out.

Step 3: Become Aware of Breath.

Start increasing your awareness of breath. Do not breathe with effort. Keep it natural. Just observe it with utmost attentiveness. Notice how your body feels as you relax and drop. The part of your mind that is noticing—that’s what is awareness. It’s nothing special. You don’t need to look for it. You don’t need to do anything at all. Awareness is always there.

Step 4: Watch your thoughts Fading

Do not try to control your thoughts which you watch your breath. Remember, meditation means doing nothing mentally; only observing. Let thoughts come and go in your mind’s screen.  It is natural for clouds to appear and disappear but sky remains the same. Your awareness may also go here and there, you can simply and gently pull it back and again focus on breath. This is what practice is all about. Simply, again and again watch your breath.

That’s all!

Meditation is not a rocket-science. It is simply “Watching Your Breath”.

एक ध्यान मग्न दुनिया कैसी होगी?

एक ध्यान मग्न दुनिया कैसी होगी?

कैसा हो यदि इस संसार में हर व्यक्ति के भीतर ध्यान इस तरह बहे जैसे धमनियों में रक्त बहता है।

हम अपने जीवन का सारा समय विचारों में ही उलझे रहते हैं। अतीत के विचार या भविष्य के विचार।

कैसा हो यदि हम वर्तमान पल में रुक सकें, उसे पूरा-पूरा जी सकें।

कैसा हो यदि हमारे और हमारे वर्तमान क्षण के बीच कोई विचार ना आए और हम जीवन को विचारों के उतार-चढ़ाव के बिना देख पायें।

कैसी होगी वो दुनिया जब हर व्यक्ति ध्यान करना चाहता होगा और ध्यान करना जानता होगा। 

कैसी होगी वो दुनिया जब मनुष्य नफ़रत करना भूल चुका होगा।

कैसी होगी वो दुनिया जब हर व्यक्ति अपनी एक एक साँस के प्रति जागरूक होगा।

कैसी होगी वो दुनिया जब हर व्यक्ति वर्तमान पल में होगा।

ये सवाल नही, स्वशक्तिकरण कार्यक्रम का स्वप्न है जिसे वास्तविकता में रूपांतरित करने के लिए ए॰टी॰एम॰- एनी टाइम मेडिटेशन कैम्पेन कि शुरुआत हो चुकी है।

मनुष्य का मूल रूप ध्यान ही है और हर मनुष्य के अन्दर सम्भावना है कि वो अपने इस सच्चे स्वरूप से एक हो सके।

इस अंतर्यात्रा के पथिक ही मानव जीवन की अनंत संभावनाओं को आने वाले समय में छू सकेंगे।

बाहरी सफलता के साथ-साथ भीतरी शान्ति और आत्म-जागरूकता एक ऐसी मानवता को जन्म देगी जो प्रेम और ध्यान  पर आधारित होगी।

कुछ लोग इसे असम्भव लगने वाली कोरीं कल्पना मान सकते हैं, पर अध्यात्म के वैज्ञानिक जानते है कि कल्पना ही मनुष्य की सबसे बड़ी शक्ति है।

मनुष्य एक भवन की कल्पना करता है और उसका निर्माण हो जाता है. ये घटना विपरीत क्रम में नहीं घट सकती।

सोचिये कि आज बिजली नही होती तो कैसा होता | वर्तमान युग में बिजली के बिना जीवन असम्भव सा लगता है क्योंकि दैनिक जीवन में हम सारे कार्य बिजली के प्रयोग से ही करते है. 

लेकिन आज से लगभग 150 साल पहले बिजली का कोई नामोनिशान नही था और लालटेन एवं मशालो के जरिये ही जीवन निकालना पड़ता था | तब एक वैज्ञानिक ने ऐसा कमाल कर दिखाया जिसके लिए आज भी इन्सान उनका ऋणी है | निकोला टेस्ला ने बिजली की खोज कर वैज्ञानिक युग में एक क्रान्ति ला दी थी 

निकोला कहा करते थे कि जिस दिन विज्ञान अवचेतन मन के जगत का पूरा अध्ययन कर लेगा उस दिन मानवता इतनी प्रगति कर लेगी जितनी वो सदियों में नहीं कर पायी है।

स्वशक्तिकरण कार्यक्रम कुछ ऐसा ही कार्य इस समय पृथ्वी पर कर रहा है। इस कार्यक्रम के अंतर्गत लोग निशुल्क रूप से अवचेतन मन से सम्बंधित वो वैज्ञानिक ज्ञान सीखते हैं जिनकी दुनिया में भारी-भरकम फ़ीसें वसूली जाती है। इस कार्यक्रम में मन, शरीर और आत्मा के ज्ञान के साथ-साथ ध्यान और आत्म-चिकित्सीय विधियाँ सीखायी जाती हैं जो पूरी तरह से हमारी आंतरिक ऊर्जा और मन की शक्ति से जुड़ीं हैं।

ए॰टी॰एम॰ इसी स्वशक्तिकरण कार्यक्रम के अन्तर्गत एक क्रान्ति है जिसमें हमारे स्वैच्छिक कार्यकर्ता किसी भी भीड़-भाड़ और कोलाहल से भरे सार्वजनिक स्थल पर बैठ कर साँसो पर ध्यान लगाते हैं। साथ ही वे जनता से आग्रह करते हैं कि वो भी उनके साथ बैठ कर कुछ देर साँसो पर ध्यान लगायें।

लोगों को पहले पहल झिझक होती है क्यूँकि ये सामान्य धारणा है कि ध्यान केवल एक शांत वातावरण में ही किया जा सकता है। 

परन्तु ये एक मिथ है।

आप जहाँ चाहें, वहीं आती-जाती साँस को महसूस कर सकते है। जिस पल आप साँसो पर ध्यान लगाते हैं उसी पल आप असीम शान्ति में प्रवेश करते हैं।

ऐसा संभव ही नही है कि आप साँसो पर ध्यान केन्द्रित करें और तनाव में भी हों। ये दोनों घटनाए एक साथ नहीं घट सकती।

ATM के दौरान पहली बार ध्यान करने वाले लोगों ने बताया कि शुरुआत में शोर उन्हें बाधक लगा, पर जैसे ही उन्होंने शोर को पूरी तरह स्वीकार कर लिया वो अपनी साँसो पर एकाग्रचित्त हो कर बहुत देर तक आराम से ध्यान कर पाये।

कुछ लोगों के लिये शोर और भीड़ के बीच ध्यान का अभ्यास बहुत ही आश्चर्यजनक था। कुछ लोग अपना मोबाइल फ़ोन निकाल कर ध्यान करते लोगों कि तस्वीरें उतारने लगे और कुछ लोग झिझक त्याग कर हमारे साथ बैठ कर ध्यान करने लगे।

ध्यान मानव जीवन का सबसे अनमोल उपहार है और हम सब इस जागरूकता को पूरे विश्व में फैलाने के लिये प्रतिबध है। 

यदि आप भी हमारे इस अनूठे अभियान का हिस्सा बनना चाहते हैं तो हमें ज़रूर लिखें: info@galwayfoundation.org

The Gift of Gratitude

Everything that happens in your life is your own creation. How beautiful and powerful this feeling is. Isn't it!

This is the gift from universe to you. The power of creation.

One of the major reason of so much unhappiness all around us is being ungrateful to this beautiful gift.

Yes, we forget to be grateful. We forget to express our gratitude to universe for our own existence.

Gratitude is a virtue that can contribute immeasurably to our happiness. It is an essential aspect of love.

(Picture is taken by author in Ladakh on the way to Leh from Lamayuru.)

As often as some sweet grace comes to you. inwardly say, "Thank you, Universe."

This simple practice will bring you miracles in life.

Gradually, you will see that your focus on good things and gratitude towards them are magnifying the good in your life.

A deep sense of gratitude towards the bad incidents (as we label them) also elevates your spirit.

And remember what you give, that comes back to you.

We can be grateful to every little thing in our life; from our morning tea to our bed sheet in night. There are plenty to be grateful too.

"My father told me a wonderful story about a father who gave his young daughter a simple locket and told her that it contains a very valuable diamond sealed inside the locket, so if at any time she was ever in need, she could crack open the locket, sell the diamond and make it through difficulties.

The daughter grew into a woman and struggled alone terrible times of poverty, but just the mere thought of the diamond resting safely inside the locket she wore around her neck gave her enough courage to pull her through.

Many years later, she had finally become a success in all areas of her life and no longer had to struggle for survival. Her curiosity had grown to the point that she had to know how much the diamond was actually worth.

The woman took her precious locket to the finest jeweler in the village to have the diamond appraised. The jeweler eyed the plain, tarnished locket with a bit of disdain, raised a mallet, and with one swift blow smashed the little locket into many pieces, releasing a small, shiny piece.

The jeweler held it up to the light and said, “Why, this is not a diamond, my lady, but a worthless piece of ordinary glass!”

Stunned by the news, the woman laughed and cried and then laughed some more.

“No, kind sir, that is the most valuable diamond in the world!” She replied, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Her father had given her a priceless gem…the gift of hope and the belief that she would always be right, and for this she would always be grateful.”

Life is a gift and our job is to learn to receive it gratefully.

Take a moment of time daily, and be grateful for all that you are and for all that you are not. Be grateful for all that you have and for all that you do not have.

When we live with grateful hearts, fear cannot enter, guilt is dissolved, and there is only peace, love, forgiveness and understanding.

To me, that is life!

Gratitude.

(Ref- Loiuse L. Hay, John Randolph, Michele Gold and Almighty)

Glimpses

Participants came up with interesting and insightful experiences and thoughts. Most of the participants belong to rural areas with minimal education and struggling backgrounds.

Stories of their struggle, rites for bread and butter, beginning of their business with Multilevel Marketing Company Glaze Trading India Pvt. Ltd, how this company got them introduced to meditations like Vipassana, movie like "The Secret" and books like "You can heal your Life" and how all these things gradually started bringing a positive and healing impact on their lives.

People were mirthful and exalted their gratitude towards the leading men of their company Mr. Chetan Handa and Mr. Sanjeev Chibber who not only helped them to empower financially through this business but also motivated them to rise up from the level of making a living to empowering their lives with knowledge about life and about their "real selves".

A participant spoke very well about the human existence on planet earth in his dialect which another person pleasingly translated for me. 

The Guy said- "We are comprised of three elements Body, Mind and Soul and We have an unknown power which can keep all of them on track which is called Viveka (Righteousness)."

What is Mind?

The interesting answers I received from the participants were:

 "Mind is a playful horse who always runs."

" Mind is an unchained monkey."

"Mind is an invisible power within us."

"Mind does not exist. It is a myth."

After a detailed discussion on "What they think mind is" which was full of wit, humor and deep insights, participants asked me to elaborate it in a logical manner, which I did through power point presentation and I drew a diagram to explain  "what is Mind."

The moment I drew the "map of mind" on white board, an ammunition of questions got started firing from the other side of stage.

"How would we know that mind is energy. We do not even know what is energy?"

"From where have you studied all this madam?"

"Then what is brain?"

"Can we touch it?"

"What is the difference between dil (heart) and mann (mind)?"

"How would I precisely know

What is Energy?

To satisfy all the questions in a little vivid way, I asked them to stand up and made them do an exercise with closed eyes.

The hall was beaming with laughter, whispers and surprise of all 450 participants. 

Man, women and teenagers, everyone was wondering what strange thing I am asking them to do.

I asked them to spread their hands outward and start closing and opening their palms. First slow and then gradually fast and faster.

They followed my commands.

And then suddenly, I asked them to STOP.

And to remain in the same position for a while with closed eyes.

Their arms were aching and trembling.

Then I asked them to open their palms slowly and keep them facing each other. Slowly bringing them closer and far..Feeling the energy in between of both the palms.

I could see the heaviness in their arms which was hard for them to handle but following me they were doing so.

I asked them to feel whatever they can feel.

Some of them said -"They are feeling a huge magnet in between of the palms."

Some - "Huge Pull."

Some - "Pain and Aches"

Some- "Heaviness out of control."

Some felt- "Nothing."

I asked them to send a thought to their palms to release all the heavy energy which is Not needed to the universe.

I saw some of them actually sending the energy with the actions of their hands.

The arms started feeling lighter with this thought and they returned to the normal state and sat comfortably.

"So, whatever you felt was ENERGY and whatever is there in the universe is just energy. Energy of your hand movements made ur hands heavy and energy of a light thought made your hands lighter. So Now you understand what is energy?"

They replied back caressing their arms with smile- "YES!"

I noticed. Within minutes, the energy of hall was shifted. Fears and doubts were subsided, and the minds were calm and fresh now.

We spoke about Conscious and Subconscious mind.

Forgiveness Meditation - Calm your mind to listen to your soul

We began the meditation by saying- Breathing in, "I am willing to change" and Breathing out, "I surrender my pains." 

I tell you - If you want to see beauty see a common man in meditation with his closed eyes. Nothing is more beautiful to witness an inward journey!

Those 15 minutes. Some instructions, some silence, some tears, some sobs, some jerks, some smiles and whole hall was witnessing 450 people deep in themselves.

A participant told, " Once in a flash of fury I slapped myself repeatedly in front of my parents. I walked out in middle of some tiff in anger and never went back. Today I asked forgiveness..," 

He told sobbing, "My father is no more now. But today I saw him in meditation. We were too poor and he could never feed us well. He told me Son I love you, do not say sorry, I understand you. He blessed me and both of us kept crying hugging each other until our hearts became lighter. I am feeling blessed and relieved after a long time!"

A bright young face elated in peace.

Many other shared their experiences too. Wounds were being healed more as they stood up and shared their most personal experiences of life.

We went through many other  Emotional and Spiritual empowerment Techniques on next day i.e.

Emotional Empowerment Techniques

Cleansing Techniques

Detoxification Techniques

Self-Healing Techniques 

Heal Body Through Thoughts

Participants learnt and then there were some practice rounds. 

Hesitations dropped and empowerment was in progress.

Healing makes you brighter, knowledge makes you stronger and wisdom makes you empowered.

Love & Light

Forgiveness is Self-Healing. क्षमा आत्म चिकित्सा है.

सभी प्रमुख धार्मिक परम्पराएं मूल रूप से एक ही संदेश देती हैं – प्रेम , दया,और  क्षमा , महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि ये  हमारे दैनिक जीवन का हिस्सा होनी चाहियें.

जब कभी संभव हो दयालु बने रहिये.यह हमेशा संभव है.

हम बाहरी दुनिया में कभी शांति नहीं पा सकते हैं, जब तक की हम अन्दर से शांत ना हों.

मैंने "भूल जाने की अवधारणा" में कभी भी विश्वास नहीं किया है. मैंने वास्तव में "स्वीकार करने की अवधारणा" में विश्वास किया है. 

माफी का मतलब यह नहीं है "तुमने मेरे साथ जो किया ठीक है."

 इसका मतलब यह है "मैं पिछली यादों को मेरे वर्तमान और भविष्य की खुशियों को बर्बाद करने की अनुमति नहीं दे रहा हूँ".

ऐसा करने से आपका अतीत मिट नहीं जाएगा, परन्तु आपका असंतोष और दर्द धीरे धीरे कम हो जाएगा.
आप अपने मन में घावों के साथ आगे नहीं बढ़ सकते.

क्षमा आत्म चिकित्सा है. क्षमा  एक  ऐसा  उपहार  है  जो  हम  स्वयं  को  देते  हैं .

माफ़  करने  का  मतलब  किसी  कैदी  को  आज़ाद  करना  है  और  ये  जानना  है  कि  आप  ही  वो  कैदी  थे .
ऐसा करने से आप  उस घटना से सीखते हैं और अपने जीवन को एक नई दिशा देते हैं.

कभी  भी  अपने  पास  रखे  तीन  संसाधनों  को  मत  भूलिए : प्रेम , प्रार्थना , और  क्षमा .
