Hello friends,
Last night I pushed my body to sleep forcefully at 10:00 p.m. to wake up at 4:00 a.m. because the period of time 96 minutes before sunrise is called 'Brahma Muhurat' where 'Muhurat' is the time period and 'Brahma' is basically God Brahma. According to me, it is called so because this is the time period of God Brahma who is the creator of universe according to Hindu religious texts.
Why did I wake up at 4:00 a.m.?
Last night, instead of seeing television I chose my tablet and the first thing that popped up in recommendations was 'Jaane Brahma Muhurt ka pura sach' which means that get to know the complete truth of Brahma Muhurt by the youtube channel named 'Self Improvement Pill' and now I regret that why didn't I watch it earlier.A quick link to the video-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2023MjUxO0&t=139s.
I really woke up at 4:00 a.m. and didn't feel drowsy at all.First thing I do is to drink two full glasses of water which makes me feel fresh and energetic the whole day.Then I started to meditate roughly around 4:05 a.m, finished around 4:45 a.m ,in the video it was said that we should read religious texts early morning,I started reading Bhagavad Gita,I have been reading it since the last ten days and this book is just out of the world, it should definitely be on everyone's reading list.
Started reading from 5:00 a.m, started feeling drowsy from 5:10 a.m and my condition till 5:50 a.m. was like
I was nevertheless awake for the whole day.but anyways.....
In today's blog I want to talk about 'Vipassana Meditation'
This is said to be one of the most powerful meditation.
'Vi' here means special and 'passana' means to meditate.This word just means to meditate in a special way or a special way of seeing.
What is so 'special'?
Well ,in Vipassana meditation we are taught to focus on a thing,trying not to keep its identity in mind while focusing.For example,If you are focusing on any object such as a bottle,you will have to forget that it is a bottle,in this way we will keep pondering that if it is not a bottle,then what is it?
TRY ONCE, IT'S A SUPERB EXPERIENCE
1) In this way we become more and more CURIOUS with more and more practice
2) Our power of OBSERVATION will soar up to another level cause sitting and staring at one thing to identify it's identity would force us to observe it for countless hours.
3) Another thing to keep in mind is to see things which you see whole day for atleast 2 minutes forgetting its identity, i.e. keep observing everything.
Vipassana meditation includes :-
1) Kayanupassana meditation
2) Vedananupassana meditation
3) Chittanupassana meditation
4) Dhammapassana meditation
1) In Kayanupasssana meditation, we sit for meditation observing everything that we experience in our body, 'kaya' means our body. For example, we feel some pain in our legs, back etc. during meditation.We just need to observe that pain asking ourselves question about its origin,it's magnitude etc..after observing it for sometime,that pain just vanishes and this cycle continues until a time when we feel painless.
2) In Vedanupassana meditation, we observe our feelings and thoughts while meditating not reacting to them, after practising this for a long time we will get the power to eradicate the negative feelings and thoughts and keeping only what is positive, 'vedana' means feelings . Over 90% of thoughts which we get are useless and they just make the brain saturated. Just imagine how positive we will be, how much brain power we can use in productive things and how our power to understand our emotions more deeply boosts up.
3) Chittanupassana meditation, it is almost like vedanupassana meditation where 'chitta' is the soul, we have to again observe but this time the thoughts which come into our mind, i.e. we have to contemplate the mind.
4) In Dhammapassana meditation ,we observe the rules and regulations religion down in our religion. 'Dhamma' means our duties or our 'dharam' which is a Hindi word.There are rules and regulations written down in every religion to attain salvation,to observe and follow these regulations is our duty.
I just gave an insight into this meditation,full courses are available on YouTube.
The essence of Vipassana meditation is in the art of observation. Observation is the key to perform this special and powerful meditation.
First, try it for 10 minutes the first time and then increase the time duration for this meditation.
Benefits are unlimited, but to enjoy these benefits, a big first step has to be taken, then everything will go smooth later on.
I challenge you to try this meditation early in the morning for the next 3 days and if you feel any difference ,please comment so that others could get motivated.
Thank you.
