Practicing Yogic Sleep – You Can Meditate Lying Down!

If you have a back pain or if you find it hard to sit and meditate then I have got a meditation method for you which you can perform lying on your back, I will reveal it in this post only if you promise that you won’t fall asleep while doing it because I have ended up sleeping many times while doing Yog Nidra.

Yogic Sleep or Yog Nidra not only rejuvenates the body but, it also calms down the mind and prepares an individual for the rest of their day.

It is very easy but, do not make a mistake of thinking that it is not powerful just because of the simplicity, it is an ancient very powerful meditation practiced by Indian Yogis and Buddhist Monks.

For practicing yogic sleep, it is not at all required that you must have been familiar with meditation or yoga before. Continue reading

5 Ways to Uplift Yourself When You Feel down without Any Reason

People often feel low or unhappy for no particular reason and it is very important to understand such states because it can affect your life a lot.

You may think that you are feeling down without any reason but that is not really true because there is a reason behind all our emotional changes and not knowing the reason does not mean that there is no reason at all.

The problem is that our emotions are often dependent on what our inner state is, and we are not that much aware of what happens in our inner world unless we are involved in spiritual or personal development activities. Continue reading

Tratak on a Black Dot

In this post, I will show you the steps to perform Bindu Tratak (Gazing on a black dot) meditation which is very helpful for improving concentration.

Open Eyes Self Hypnosis-By Reading and Writing Scripts!!

Open eyes self-hypnosis is an astonishing process I found in Forbes Robbins Blair’s book where we can use self-written scripts to hypnotize ourselves.

We all know very well that self hypnosis could be used for various personal development purposes like building confidence, eradicating fears, better health, improving the rapport between conscious and subconscious mind, the possibilities are countless.

Often self hypnosis is perceived as something complicated, but actually it is a very simple and already familiar process to us.

Self hypnosis is just a way to relax and take the mind into a state where it is open for any suggestion. Continue reading

The Flaw of Attraction-Why the Law of Attraction Is Not Working?

When the law of attraction does not work for people, I call this error as the flaw of attraction because people often start to believe that all such concepts are untrue in such cases and the law of attraction provides them the evidence to falsify itself.

Here’s what the “Flaw” of attraction is – When the law of attraction is working to prove that there is no such thing as the law of attraction, we will call this paradox as the flaw of attraction.

It is easy to form a conclusion and it is easier to live with a victim mentality where you get to blame other people and also god for what happens to you, but when something does not work for you, the first thing you should do is to try to understand it better and check whether you made any mistakes.

The Learning Mind of a Baby-A Blank Page Waiting for a Story

When we smile at a baby, it often elicits a joyful response in return, even if the baby is unfamiliar to us. This natural exchange of smiles underscores a simple but profound human connection. However, such spontaneous interactions are rare among adults. About seven out ten of people are hesitant to greet a stranger, primarily due to a fear of negative or dismissive responses. This reluctance is deeply rooted in a broader societal issue: a pervasive anxiety about being judged.

In today’s world, the fear of judgment can be paralyzing, leading many to avoid initiating interactions with those they do not know. This apprehension is driven by the concern that a friendly gesture might not be reciprocated, which can be disheartening and lead to feelings of rejection. The result is a diminished sense of community and a reluctance to engage with others, further isolating individuals. Addressing this fear requires fostering environments where positive social interactions are encouraged and where people are reminded of the fundamental human need for connection and mutual respect.

What Is the Difference between Self Hypnosis and Meditation?

A frequent question among those exploring the depths of their inner selves is whether meditation and self-hypnosis are essentially the same. This confusion arises from common misconceptions surrounding these practices. Both meditation and self-hypnosis involve directing focus inwardly, but they are fundamentally different in their approach and objectives.

Meditation generally aims to cultivate mindfulness and achieve a heightened state of awareness. It often involves observing thoughts and feelings without judgment, thereby fostering a sense of inner peace and clarity. The practice may include various techniques such as focused attention, breath awareness, or contemplation, with the ultimate goal of attaining a deeper connection with oneself and enhancing overall well-being.

In contrast, self-hypnosis is a process designed to enter a trance-like state where the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to suggestions. This technique is frequently used for therapeutic purposes, such as changing habits or addressing psychological issues. Unlike meditation, which is typically about observing and accepting, self-hypnosis involves actively guiding the mind toward specific goals or changes.

Therefore, while both practices involve an inward journey, meditation focuses on mindfulness and awareness, whereas self-hypnosis targets the subconscious for behavioral or emotional modification. Understanding these distinctions helps in choosing the practice that best aligns with one’s personal goals and needs.

Tratak Meditation Method

Tratak meditation is an ancient, powerful practice known for its ability to accelerate spiritual growth. Often referred to as fixed-gazing meditation, this method involves fixing your gaze on an external object, such as a candle flame or a symbol, without blinking. The goal is to sharpen your focus and use the object as a tool to observe and understand your mind’s inner workings. Over time, this technique helps you become more aware of your thoughts and mental activity.

The practice requires consistent effort and patience, as significant progress may take time. It’s not uncommon for practitioners to spend months or even years refining their concentration before experiencing noticeable changes. However, the long-term benefits, including increased mental clarity, enhanced awareness, and deeper meditative states, make the journey worthwhile. Tratak meditation can be a profound way to connect with your inner self and move toward spiritual advancement.

Learn to Expand Your Consciousness with Simple Mindfulness Exercises

You can bring your mind into the present moment by engaging your five senses, and here we’ll explore simple mindfulness exercises to help you do that anytime, anywhere. Being present is key to mental clarity, peace, and manifesting desires. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna emphasizes the importance of performing actions without attachment to results. Mindfulness is one way to cultivate this mindset and live a more balanced, fulfilling life.

If you’re exploring new-age teachings, like manifestation methods and the law of attraction, you’ll find that present-moment awareness is the key to manifesting your desires. Why? Because when you’re fully present, you detach from the constant need to “have” something. This detachment reduces resistance and allows the universe to flow abundance into your life naturally. By focusing on the now, you’re able to release any anxieties about outcomes and enter a state of flow where things come to you more easily, aligning with your desires without the pressure of attachment.

The 11 Universal Laws for Success That You Must Know

Just like there are the laws of physics that govern all the physical actions, there are few laws that deal with the factors that decide the occurrences of events in a person’s life and I am going to talk about such 11 universal laws for success in this post.

Unfortunately, most people believe that they have no control over their lives but, that is not the truth.

We do have the free will to choose the direction in which our life should go and in order to do that we will have to live in harmony with these universal laws.

Most of us are now very familiar with the law of attraction, however, not everyone is able to effectively use it. That’s because without the proper knowledge of the other laws you are not fully equipped to make the desired use of your creative power.
