Yoga and meditation in Rishikesh

Dhyan Yoga [ Yoga and Meditation in Rishikesh ] :- Meditation in a convenient place, free from distractions, is necessary. The time that we choose for Meditation, also, is to be such that it should not have the background of any engagement or activity which may distract the attention of the mind from the goal of Meditation. A suitable place, a suitable time, - these two are very important prerequisites. But more important, perhaps, than place and time is the preparedness of the mind. The mind should be eager to sit for Meditation and it should not feel any kind of compulsion. We do not sit for Meditation merely because in our daily routine it is the time allotted for Meditation; that would be something like going for lunch at noon, even if we are not hungry, merely because noon is prescribed as the time for lunch. It is not the time, but the need that is important. If the mind does not feel the need for Meditation, a mere prescription of place and time will not be of much benefit. Most people feel a difficulty in getting any kind of satisfactory result, because the mind is not prepared.

How is the mind to be prepared?

Here a question arises, which can be answered by each one, independently, from one’s own point of view. Why do we feel the need for taking to Yoga Practice? If the need has not been felt, we would not have been resorting to Yoga at all. Somehow, we have felt within our hearts that Yoga is a solution to the problems of life. Everyone has difficulties and tension and our conscience has somehow persuaded us to accept that the panacea problems in life is Yoga.

The word meditation carries different meanings in different contexts. Meditation has been practiced since antiquity as a component of numerous religious traditions and beliefs. Meditation often involves an internal effort to self-regulate the mind in some way. Meditation is often used to clear the mind and ease many health issues, such as high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety. It may be done sitting, or in an active way—for instance,  monks involve awareness in their day to day activities as a form of mind-training. Prayer beads or other ritual objects are commonly used during meditation in order to keep track of or remind the practitioner about some aspect of the training. 

Meditation may involves generating an emotional state for the purpose of analyzing that state such as anger, hatred, etc.—or cultivating a particular mental response to various phenomena, such as compassion. The term "meditation" can refer to the state itself, as well as to practices or techniques employed to cultivate the state. Meditation may also involve repeating a mantras and closing the eyes. The mantra is chosen based on its suitability to the individual meditator. Meditation has a calming effect and directs awareness inward until pure awareness is achieved, described as "being awake inside without being aware of anything except awareness itself.
