It is said that there are seven chakras/ centres of prana-flow
(the flow of subtle life energy). In this meditation, we guide the prana to
flow from one chakra to the other. Though very simple, the Hari Om meditation
leads to a profound experience.
Many wonder why it is necessary to meditate after practising
Yoga asanas/ postures. One of the many benefits of practising yoga asanas/
postures is the fact that it allows us to slip into meditation effortlessly.
Meditation being one of the main aspects of Yoga, it's essential that we sit
for meditation after practising Yoga asanas and pranayama; else it is like
preparing our dinner but not eating it! In meditation one delves deep into the
self.
There are many kinds of meditations though they might seem different most
of them are, in essence, the same. The Panchakosha and Hari Om meditations can
be experienced in the Art of Living Courses.
Panchakosha Meditation
According to ancient Indian scriptures, we consist of five
sheaths or koshas – body, breath, mind, intellect and finally bliss. In this
meditation we are guided from the gross to the subtler aspects of our being,
finally experiencing the joy and peace that's inherent in everyone.
