sahaja yoga meditation
sahaja yoga meditation
Is this self-realization and enlightenment among the same?
I am basically looking at two sects, sahaja yoga requires the self-realization and enlightenment of Buddhism. Sahaja Yoga claims you make "self" after the meditation, and several its members say they have inner peace and periods of intense joy after this experience, and it occurs after cleansing your chakras (Energy points). So with a regular practice, they claim they can access this experience with lasting effects in life … While enlightenment Buddhisms seems to take to achieve life. However, they both seem to struggle for the truth of how things are, including ourselves. If a practitioner of one sect could help to clarify their distinctions, or any person who has knowledge on them could help, it would be appreciated.
self-realization is the state where attention is capable of going beyond the spirit and the individual can reflect on themselves in a silent state. Enlightenment is the end point, sometimes called "the achievement God. (Although this term is not really used in Sahaja Yoga) In Buddhism, the two terms are often used interchangeably. I practiced the two forms and found that Sahaja Yoga offers the simple promises he made. The claims are verifiable in a few weeks of practice. Buddhism, on the other hand into increasingly complex and complicated philosophical treatises and is usually based on an external teacher as a mediator between the student and their spiritual path. The fundamental difference between the two that I see is this; Sahaja Yoga it is to empower the individual to direct experience and understanding, while Buddhism is concerned about the spread of a religion with all the power structures and ideologies inherent.

music for deep meditation

What is the best music to listen to meditation?
I started meditating recently and I am interested what would be best to listen while I'm … Ive tried Coldplay music and deep thinking, but I'm looking for something more?? In Furthermore, all ideas of good music for yoga would be really appreciated! Thank you:)
Personally, I find any kind of noise during meditation for fun, I often wear ear-plugs/muffs or go somewhere quiet. Almost all the music awakens the senses and can lead to feelings of emotional which are a clear impediment to contemplation. It reminds me of the Zen "when you sit, sit." You do not need to listen to Music sit! If the silence is not enough, or do the only thing I could recommend weather sounds or sounds of water, as rain, rivers, wind chimes, etc.

meditation stories
meditation stories
How has meditation changed your life?
I am studying Buddhism and practicing meditation. I would like to hear your stories of how meditation has changed your life. Did you see the world more clearly now?
In 2005, I worked as a correctional officer. I became more and more angry and bitter. I would lash out at his colleagues, family members, and so on. I would wear this environment at home with me, and I could not let go. A particularly difficult night (my newspaper describes as a very bad day), I had a book with me on Buddhism, and I had the opportunity to navigate through it. I read about the Four Noble Truths, and I could see there: This is suffering! Enough of the pieces that I decided to try Buddhism. This will only be temporary - to see if I could get a glimpse of the anger and hatred, and see if I could find a way to overtake. So I started very basic meditation practice for short periods of time. Nothing fantasy. I joined an online group Dhamma and asked some questions, got some feedback on meditation and ethics and so on. For about half an hour a day, I practice mindfulness of breathing or the charnel floor contemplation. I do not see any major changes at first, and only with hindsight, I see what I was looking at. I took precepts in July 2005, and I left my job in corrections in March 2006 because I could see how the "Environment has been destructive. I found a better job that does not require violence, even if it has been a decrease salary. At some point, and I can only assume this is a recent development, I could see how I understand the illusion Control: I want it that way, and no other way. If it were otherwise, I would be angry. So I started to practice in another way: I started practicing just acknowledging the way things are, without trying to take control them: "The meeting is like this today." "The work is like that." Slowly, the restitution of things that I really control. Gradually, I began to notice an opening, a spacious quality of mind. My meditations have become more peaceful. I could sit and watch the thoughts and feelings floating, whatever the content, without too worked up about it. Meditation is exactly that way right now. It has not be anything else. Then I started noticing how many things I really enjoy: sunsets, sitting near water, autumn days, a fresh wind, sunrises, small moments of intimacy and connection with others. I started to write it as an act of vigilance. I started noticing more and more (that's where I am now … notice all these things that make me happy, joy, peace, etc..) Anger has lost much of its grip. I know myself a bit more now: what is really my response to things, my thoughts, as opposed to someone else's feelings and thoughts. I can rest easy that. More importantly, there is nothing to defend. I still caught in the illusion sometimes, but all I have to do is to return to the center: "It like this. It is what it is now. "My wife thinks that the change is radical. It can connect with me now in a way she never could before. We are both happy for her, although I am yet to explore, learn and discover.
