    I have been practicing meditation since 2014. I received the Kriya Diksha in 2015 from YSS.
    Your this video is by far the best explanation of introductory meditation.

      @@agnirelaxgaming Hello! This is explained at 1:52 in this video, basically make sure to look out into the distance, as though looking at a distant mountain peak, that way you won't cross your eyes and it won't be shaky.

    • @AnandaSanghaIndia
      @AnandaSanghaIndia  3 года назад +8

      ​@@agnirelaxgaming it is important to do this because it helps to raise our level of consiousness...notice how when we sleep our gaze goes downwards, and when we are inspired we look up and our entire posture changes. So this is one way to understand how the posture and the position of the eyes can help us raise our level of consciousness and helps us go deeper in meditation. Hope this helps!

    Namaste,
    Thanks for the help, just had one question...
    In the posture section, the basic elements were:
    1. Straight back and head.
    2. Gaze uplifted.
    3. Hands on thighs, with palms upward.
    But, in some videos, the instructors said to tuck your chin in a bit, while in some others, like this one, there was no such mention, so I'm guessing that subtle part wouldn't matter much??
    Please let me know.
    ❤️🙏

    • @AnandaSanghaIndia
      @AnandaSanghaIndia  3 года назад +2

      Hi Swarnava! Chin should be parallel to the ground. I think that some people say to tuck it in because we often draw the head backwards, hence by tucking in the chin we get the neck straight. The rest of what you pointed out is correct :)

      I would suggest that you make sure your neck is in alignment with the spine and the chin is parallel to the floor :) If tucking the chin in helps, then do so. Make sure that you are comfortable and without tension in the neck or anywhere in the body. If to do that you need to do some other exercises (like tensing and relaxing more) then do that too.

      For the Hong Sau technique, you only breathe naturally through the nose. We do not control the breath. The even-count breathing pranayam (in which you also breath only through the nose) can be used as a preparation for Hong Sau when you sit down for meditation!

    • @AnandaSanghaIndia
      @AnandaSanghaIndia  2 года назад +2

      The gaze should always be up when we meditate, our focus, however, will be on the breath, but the gaze stays steadily up. Only if you feel the breath flowing at the origin of the nose (the close to the point between the eyebrows) your concentration on the breath and third eye become one.

But if 6 is the comfortable amount, then I wouldn't be worried about the meaning of this number in other places, just think of it as three separate sixes instead of one all together.

      As you go deep, go with what the feeling is. As long as your concentration is deepening and the breath is slowing down, it probably doesn't matter much. But if you can, stick to the proper pronunciation. In time, you may forget the mantra altogether and concentrate purely in the feeling of peace or joy that may come.

    • @AnandaSanghaIndia
      @AnandaSanghaIndia  3 года назад

      Keep your eyes uplifted, but your focus while practicing Hong-Sau is on the breath, unless you are able to feel the breath at the point midway between the eyebrows. It may happen that your eyes come down, it is natural, you just have to keep trying and eventually it will become secondhand :)
      Perhaps the easiest way to do it is follow the line of your eyebrows, and the middle point is around where we ask you to focus :) Hope this helps!
