Why should I meditate?
Meditation is one of the most powerful
tools there is to help restore the harmony within
and to gain access to our bodies inner intelligence.
It is a journey to freedom and self-knowledge
rediscovering the silence, which is the birthplace
of happiness, in our mind and to make it part
of our daily lives. It is where we get our bursts
of inspiration, our tender feelings of compassion
and our sense of love.
What are the benefits of Meditation?
In Meditation, we re-connect with
our essence. This connection extends into our
daily lives, which can result in improved health,
more fulfilling relationships, increased creativity
and enthusiasm for life.
How will Meditation affect my health?
Today, doctors are increasingly citing
stress as a major factor in illnesses such as:
depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, cardiac
pain, insomnia, diabetes, ulcers, cold, fever,
asthma, arthritis, alcoholism and others. Even
though Meditation should not be considered a
cure by itself, research has shown that it contributes
to reducing stress and achieving deep relaxation
and a profound state of rest. By reducing stress,
Meditation has benefits for a wide range of
health problems, allowing the mind and body
to function with maximum effectiveness.
What is Primordial Sound Meditation?
It is a specific kind of mediation
that originated in India and has been revived
by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and David Simon, M.D.
making it available in a format that can be
easily learned and practiced by everyone, regardless
of a persons age, education, culture and religious
beliefs. During Primordial Sound Meditation,
our minds become quiet allowing our bodies to
gain the deep rest necessary to release stress
and fatigue.
What are the "Primordial Sounds"?
Primordial Sounds are the basic,
most essential sounds of nature. The specific
Primordial Sounds, which are used in meditation,
are called Mantras. These mantras are personal
for each participant and are chosen on the basis
of Vedic mathematics, which determines a specific
sound or vibration of the Universe at the time
and place of our birth. When we silently repeat
Primordial Sounds as part of the mantra, they
help to take our awareness away from the frenzy
daily activity of the mind, to the stillness
of our spirit. The effect soothes our entire
physiology-mind, body and soul.
Will I need to change my lifestyle?
Meditation and Primordial Sound Mediation
do not require specific beliefs or a change
in behavior or lifestyle. The only adjustment
required is that we allow the time to meditate
regularly. Other than that, any changes in our
life come spontaneously.
Deepak Chopra, M.D.
