About MEDITATION
How do we meditate?
Samarpan means ‘to let go’ or ‘to surrender’. Our intention, when sitting for meditation, is to let go of our effort to meditate and any expectations; to give ourselves the space to be still and let our inner intelligence ~ the guru within ~ guide us in a process of awakening that occurs automatically with this meditation.
This happens through a simple mantra – a special set of words that have been imbued with high vibrations by a fully-realised human being who has already reached an elevated spiritual state. These vibrations resonate with universal consciousness and, through the mantra, we begin to experience our own vibration rising beyond the level that we could reach in our current condition. This starts a cleansing and awakening process and the benefits that come as a result.
What can I expect with Himalayan Meditation?
When we approach things in life with openness and without expectation, we let the experience happen naturally, because we are with the experience rather than our thoughts about it. Likewise, if we approach meditation openly and without expectation, then we are with the experience of meditation itself.
Each person’s experience is often different, and so Himalayan Meditation is something to experience for yourself. From the shared experiences of people who have meditated regularly with Himalayan Meditation, this experience often subtly evolves/deepens with time. The wider benefits noticed amongst regular meditators have included:
How can I meditate when my mind is so busy?
When there are so many influences, pressures and distractions that are constantly taking our attention, it is hard to believe that we can find a sense of peace or any kind of balanced state of mind.
But stillness, peace and a balanced mind are our natural state and meditation is the means of reconnecting us with that experience. Meditation is as natural a human quality as falling into a restful sleep and with consistent meditation, over time it becomes increasingly a habit to be stable and peaceful within, regardless of what is happening around us.
How can I personally progress with meditation?
There are two invaluable features of Himalayan Meditation, that help in the progression of our meditation journey:
What is the need for Group Meditation?
"It has been said that a person meditating one hundred days alone is equivalent to that person meditating one day with a hundred people", and this has been confirmed by many practitioners. This is because when one meditates in groups, there are other persons, within that group, also seeking for spiritual truth and connecting with the Universal Consciousness.

There are two invaluable features of Himalayan Meditation, that help in the progression of our meditation journey:
- An ongoing connection with a fully-realised Guru who continues to support, nurture and protect us as we grow with the meditation; and
- The principle of ‘collectivity’ ~ the benefit of meditating in the company of others, which increases the flow of vibrations as each person’s capacity to receive is added to ours.

FAQs ANSWERED BY SWAMIJI
Swamiji, whenever I meditate, I fall asleep. What should I do?
Answer: Several people have the same problem. What happens is that people lead stressful lives and as a result their right side becomes weak. Secondly, there is a lot of garbage from our past lives within us and as a result, the left side is weakened. As long as that is not removed, a person will fall asleep during meditation. This will not happen at a later stage.
Swamiji, my question is where should our chitta (attention) be during meditation.
Answer: You must have seen how the top portion of a new born child's head palpitates. We have to concentrate and put our chitta on that part of the head during meditation. As we grow older, the soft portion on the top of the head starts filling up and hardens. Our attention should be at that place. If we place our hands on the knees, our attention veers there; if we place our hands on our chest, our attention will be on the chest. Thus our attention will be centered wherever we place our hands. This is generally how our body behaves. When you place your hand on the top of your head, your attention will go there, that is, it will be centered on the Sahastrar chakra. You should concentrate on the top of your head during meditation.
Swamiji, when I sit for meditation, sometimes thoughts enter my mind. What should I do?
Answer: If you get thoughts during meditation, allow them to come because the mind is not yet accustomed to meditating. As you keep on meditating regularly, your thoughts will slowly decrease. But if you pay attention to your thoughts, they will increase. Therefore if you get thoughts, let them come. There is no need to pay attention them.
