Explanation of Meditation Techniques_I

We categorized all the techniques of Basic Workshop(PTM Workshop-I) into

three categories viz.Category I-A,Category I-B and Category II.
Category I-A mainly consists of some techniques related to breathing,Viz.

#OOM/OOM {Chanting of OM}

#BI:BO {Breathing in,Breathing Out}
#7:1::7:1
#B & N {Ballooning & Normalising}
#BtI {Breathing Through Infinite}

OOOM/OMMM: During this step OM,the name of almighty,is repeated loudly

by all the members together.This step is further subdivided into two steps:-
During the first step,AU(O) is loudly spoken 2/3rd of the time and MM is
spoken only 1/3rd of the time , while during the second step,AU(O) is spoken
only 1/3rd of the time and MMM is repeated 2/3rd of the time.While we repeat
MMM with closed mouth,experience of Bhramari Pranayama is witnessed.In
Fact,whole of the universe is said to be contained in the word OM.According to
our Upanishads,word OM is said to be formed wirh the help of Hindi
alphabets 'aa''uu'and'mm'(Small Matras).'a' stands for PARMATMA,'u'stands for
JIVATMA and 'm' stands forPRAKRITI.Since this small word contains the
whole universe,this is the most appropriate name of GOD.

BI:BO: During this step,you just have to be aware that you are breathing
also.We are spending 24 hours of the day in attaining various goals, executing
all our important tasks .But,in the process we forget the most important
function of our body & that is breathing.We forget that if our breath stops,we
will no more be part of this world,we will no more be part of this system.We
will no more be an achiever,we will no more be a go getter.

So,you have to be aware of the most important function(Breathing) of our body

at all times; while you are BREATHING IN and while you are BREATHING
OUT(BI:BO) .You can achieve this awareness if You start practicing it during
Meditation Sessions.To achieve this,during the second step of you Meditation
practice,keep your eyes closed and Mentally repeat the following sentence
again & again:

“BREATHING IN ,I KNOW I’M BREATHING IN;BREATHING OUT, I

KNOW.”

Rest of the techniques of ‘category I-A’ viz.’7:1::7:1’,’B&N’ and ‘BtI’ will

be explained in the next article.

MEDITATION-A PRACTICAL APPROACH

Much has been theoretically said about Meditation.So,Now let’s start the
Practicals.The categorization of Meditation Techniques can be initially done
in two parts.First category consists of the techniques,using which, we can
enter the state of Meditation.Second category of techniques are those which
are practiced after entering the state of meditation using the techniques of
category I.
The techniques taken up in Category I are,therefore, simpler to understand
and practice.The following techniques can be taken under Category I:
Category I-A
#OOM/OOM {Chanting of OM}
#BI:BO {Breathing in,Breathing Out}
#7:1::7:1
#B & N {Ballooning & Normalising}

#I.O. {Inside Organs}
#P.R. {Progresive Relaxation}
#Affmns {Affirmations}
#BNP(10____1) {Beautiful Natural Place}
