What is meditation?
Meditation is a tool for the re-discovery of body's own inner intelligence. Practiced for thousands of years, it's not about forcing the mind
to be quiet, it's finding the silence that's already there and making it a part of your life. Silence is the birthplace of happiness, creativity and
infinite possibilities. From this field of pure potentiality we get our bursts of inspiration, our most intuitive thoughts, and our deepest sense
of connection to the Universe. Practicing meditation on a daily basis allows you to weave silence and stillness into your mind and body to
create a life of greater compassion and fulfillment. Meditation is a journey to the center of our very being; a journey to emotional freedom;
and a journey to the reawakening of our unconditioned self.
How will Meditation affect my health?
Today doctors are increasingly citing stress as a major contributing factor to most illnesses. Even though meditation should not be considered
a cure by itself, research has shown it to be beneficial for a wide range of health problems. As stress is greatly eliminated through Primordial
Sound Meditation, our minds and bodies begin to function with maximum effectiveness, creating health, vitality and happiness.
About Primordial Sound Meditation
Primordial Sound Meditation is a healing practice that allows us to experience inner calm and deep relaxation.
For thousands of years, people have used meditation to move beyond the mind's busy activity and emotional
turbulence into profound peace and expanded awareness.
In the 21st century, the restful awareness we experience during meditation is more valuable than ever. The pace of life has accelerated, and every day we are bombarded with more information and stimulation than our ancestors encountered during entire lifetimes. Not surprisingly, the number of people suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic health problems is on the rise —
and many are searching for peace of mind.
The most direct way to experience inner silence and well-being is meditation. As scientific research reveals, when you meditate,
your breathing slows, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormone levels fall.
Primordial Sound Meditation isn't about forcing your mind to be quiet, but about experiencing the quiet that is already there. Even when
your mind is filled with agitated thoughts, you still have access to the inner stillness and calm that always lies beneath the choppy
surface of thought and emotion.
Even as your body is resting deeply in meditation, your mind is awake, though quiet. The term restful awareness captures the unique
combination of physical relaxation and an alert yet quiet mind.
Primordial Sounds and Mantras
At The Center for Health & Wellness we offer instruction in Primordial Sound Meditation, a powerful meditation technique rooted in the
Vedic tradition of India. Chopra Center co-founders Deepak Chopra and David Simon have revived this ancient practice of sound meditation
and made it available in a format that is easy to learn.
When you learn Primordial Sound Meditation, you will receive a personal mantra. A mantra is a specific sound or vibration, which when
repeated silently, helps you to enter deeper levels of awareness. A Sanskrit term that translates as "vehicle of the mind", a mantra truly is
a vehicle that takes you into quieter, more peaceful levels of the mind.
The mantra you will receive is the vibration the universe was creating at the time and place of your birth, and it is calculated following Vedic
mathematic formulas. When you silently repeat your mantra in meditation, it creates a vibration that helps you slip into the space between
your thoughts, into the complete silence that is sometimes referred to as "the gap". Your mind is no longer caught up in its noisy internal
chatter and is instead exposed to its own deepest nature: pure awareness.
As many studies show, a regular meditation practice offers numerous health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, strengthening the
immune system, and releasing stress and fatigue. In fact, meditating for half an hour provides more psychological rest than a full night's sleep.
As you meditate on a regular basis, you will notice an increased sense of well-being as well as greater energy and creativity.
