At the Innersanctuary Meditation and Healing Center, I believe in the power of meditation to transform lives. My mission is to provide you with the tools and resources you need to learn to meditate or deepen your meditation practice. I am here to support you every step of the way.
This meditation uses puckered lips which allows you to control oxygenation and ventilation moving air in and out of the lungs. Data from a study indicates a change in the pattern of chest wall muscle recruitment and improved ventilation with pursed-lip breathing in COPD. (Research: National Institute of Health: The pattern of respiratory muscle recruitment during pursed-lip breathing. PMID: 1729114 DOI: 10.1378/chest.101.1.75
The brain is constantly interpreting sensory information, and when you deliberately focus towards the tip of the nose, it has to process that unusual input, potentially causing a slight cognitive shift. Changing the eye focus also impacts the brain and glandular system through the optic nerve initiating subtle biochemical changes.
A sense of INNER STABILITY is strengthened by practicing awareness of the breath, awareness of sensations in the body and awareness of thoughts without a need to take action.
Training your mind and body to maintain a state of inner stability in seemingly chaotic circumstances (your own sensations, thoughts and emotions) leads to clarity of thought and emotional balance.
LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION provides a way to practice opening your heart, resulting in freedom from fear and a more compassionate self. This practice focuses on the ease or unease in the body, the state of mind, whether agitated or tranquil and the sense of your emotions from joy to sorrow.
FOCUS MEDITATION is used to discipline the mind. You can use your breath, mantra or a candle flame as the focus of your meditation. Learning the practice of focus meditation helps regulate emotions, balance moods and establish a strong stable inner self.
(Practice begins at 7:35)
INSIGHT MEDITATION can be used to free yourself from mental overwhelm. Sitting in silence allows the imprints of everything you have seen, heard, experienced, etc. to come into your awareness. By not judging or reacting to what comes into your awareness, a space is created between the perceiver (you) and what is being perceived. This allows you to better understand the nature of your experiences and gain deeper insight. (Practice begins at 5:01)
INSIGHT MEDITATION uses mindfulness which is a mental state focusing on being present and aware at the moment without judgment. By not reacting to what shows up, a space between the perceiver (you) and what you are perceiving allows you to understand the nature of your experiences and to gain a deeper wisdom (or insight).
MEDITATION for STEADINESS is an important foundation in meditation practice. Learning to gently still the body allows the mind to follow suit. It's a slow process but worth the effort. You may want to do some gentle yoga before beginning your meditation classes on the practice of steadiness.
Once you are able to sit in stillness for 30 minutes, you may want to add the Chakra Purification Meditation.
MEDITATION for CHAKRA PURIFICATION is one step in the Dharana (concentration) practices. Dharana practice is the sixth limb in the tree of yoga.
A steadiness practice of 30 minutes should be comfortable before beginning chakra purification.
A 5-10 minute practice of steadiness should be performed prior to chakra purification practice.
