How to learn meditation in 7 days? | by Mahima Sharma | New Writers Welcome | Sep, 2021

From a matter of element, if we continue to talk about meditation, there are simply a lot more things to put into ourselves. Meditation in simple words is connectivity to the divine. The first question that arises in our mind is Why Meditate?

The answer lies simple, to know oneself, to dive into the depth of divine love, to lighten up the spirit, and help others to achieve it as well. In our daily life, we react to meditation as a stress eraser or a way of calmness or to improve oneself. But nobody ever talks about the depth of it. Why do our bodies react differently or why do our minds relieve? It is because when we meditate, there lies our mother Kundalini in our sacred bone which rises uplifting our spirit and giving us attain true divine love. While she moves to our Sahastrana(on our head), she gives energy to our all 7 chakras.

So, yes meditation is a way of awakening God within ourselves. It has two major components — Dharma and Truth. Without them, one can never attain self-realization i.e, the awakening of the divine power within ourselves.

Enlightened people are easily recognized by their simple and sweet character, a spark in their eyes, the magnetic attraction they carry, and their lovable character. We call this process as second birth of a human being. They despair of cunning thoughts, false Gurus, black magic and all. They develop qualities like innocence, chastity, fearlessness, true knowledge, forgiveness, etc. They see everything around them as a detached person but surely they have abilities to change the world.

When done properly it shows miracles. Like I was reading about treatments of Psychosomatic diseases such as cancer, AIDS, Asthma. And I came to know that they are incurable. Yes, they can be diagnosed through different means but not perfectly curable. Some of us are very much into drugs, alcohol, and other things which even after trying we don’t leave. But you will be amazed to know that all of them are curable when the Kundalini awakens within us. Think of it as a fireball radiating so much heat that all of our 7 energy circles are balanced. And we automatically get corrected. Now, this is what I call love from the Divine. You will not believe but people cure their diseases overnight.

Now, I am not taking this article long. I am only discussing the smallest portion of it which includes How should we start? I was always a believer but I never thought of meditation as a solution to my problems. So, when I started some days were good and other days I was not able to focus.

I still remember those days. But I somehow nailed it following some steps. And these steps are counted in days. So here are 7 days of learning the basics of meditation;

DAY 1- The Mother Earth connection

We will start by just practising Padmasana. The simplest posture connects us to the element Earth which absorbs all the negativity from us. In Padmasana, you sit cross-legged, back straight, eyes closed, each foot is on the opposite thigh. The picture will make you understand much better. The hands must be open lying on the ends of the knee from the palm side. Sit in this pose for around 30 min. Because we rarely sit like this so we have no practice of it. And try to be thoughtless but since it can’t be achieved at one shot. So you just grab those thoughts that actually are coming into your mind. See, what are those thoughts, and have they any relevancy?

This could be done in the morning or evening anytime. But since the morning time 4 am is best to concentrate as there is no sound.

DAY 2- Breathing Easy

Welcome, to the second day of your class. So we breathe to live. But what we do in our daily life is just inhaling in and out. The second day of yours will be all about breathing deep and relaxing.

Again sit in Padmasana as day 1, and again trace your thoughts and let them go. Then breathe in, hold onto 5 seconds and breathe out. Repeat this for 20 and then see whether your mind reached one higher state. If not, repeat this for 20 and continue till 30 minutes.

This exercise generally vents out all the negative energies and thoughts from your body detoxifying it. Remember, this time you are concentrating on your breathing and your heartbeat. This is not introspection but just knowing our inner body.

Day 3- Classical Music Therapy

The day 3rd is important because we are doing something new. Who loves music? Everyone right? But are you aware of that pure music call ’em, ragas? This day again you will repeat sitting in Padmasana, breathing exercise for around 5 minutes. And then some Ragas automatically fill you with positivity. Here I am attaching some links-

Just listen to them concentrating on it. And listening to them will give you miracle energy that won’t let you tire till evening.

Day 4- Concentration
