In
day to day life we face many problems and while facing these problems actually
we forget our self.
We
become so workaholic that we cannot even spare time to our family also. In this
marathon race sometimes we even don’t know what we are chasing of. And finally all
these stuff leads to some kind of mental problem like insomnia, anxiety and
other mental ailment. Sometimes we think about quitting also. If we apart our
self with these problems than we may feel relief, peace in our brain.
Meditation
can show us a path to meet our self. It isolates our self and world. Some
researchers have found that meditation can solve most of mental problems or
ailments. It also increases Gray matter in our brain. Grey matter is one kind
of neural tissue which is found in spinal cord and brain. It does not require
much stuff, but only one thing is required and that is you. By meditation we
can experience theta state also. You might have question that what is theta
state, so I would like to tell you about some brain state. Do you ever wonder
that what is happening in our brain while we are asleep or why do we feel
tired, relaxed or energetic? So the reason behind all these states is our
brain, which produces these different frequencies. These brain waves have been
grouped together according to their frequencies. There are mainly four state of
our brain.
i) Beta
state (13 to 40 cycles per sec)
ii)
Alpha state (8 to 13 cycles per sec)
iii)
Theta state (4 to 7 cycles per sec)
iv)
Delta state (1/2 to 4 cycles per sec)
i.
BETA(13-40 Hz):
When we are consciously alert
at that moment our brain in beta state. We might feel afraid, agitated and
tense in this state.
ii.
ALPHA(8-13 Hz):
We feel mentally and physically
relax in this state, though we aware about surround activity. Light meditation
through we can reach in this state. At this state our muscles of body are at
ease.
iii. Theta(4-7 Hz):
Somnolence state
is associated with theta. We are less
conscious to surround activity. It is also associated with dreams and
creativity.
iv. Delta(1/2-4 Hz):
Unconscious,
deep sleep is associated with delta state. This is the lowest state human brain
can reach. Sometimes we have dreamless deep sleep, at that our brain in delta
state. Brain takes rest at this state.
So
now as you are aware with your brain state, can we reach to theta or delta
state by meditation? You will be surprised but answer is YES. Now I am going to
show you how to a perfect meditation.
1) Find an empty space at your
home or anywhere. Make sure you will not be disturbed. If you have anything to
do, first do it then start meditation.
2) Sit on carpet or other
comfortable material. Cross your leg and straight your spine. Put your hands on
leg.
3) Meditation is all on
breathing. Follow below three steps for breathing.
i) Inhale deeply.
ii) Hold it.
iii) Exhale.
Take a long deep breath and try to keep it for a while and
then exhale. For proper meditation its ratio should be 1:4:2. That means if you
inhale for 2 sec then store it for 8 sec and exhale it in 4 sec. When you start
to meditate, forget about all things that related to your body and surrounding
environment. Just allow yourself to enjoy this time.
As
you continue to meditate, you will explore new dimension of life. You can
control your emotions and become very delightful person.
