Acu-Yoga Exercises & Meditation

Your mind can experience a divine expansiveness and a totality of creation through the process of meditation.

Human Limitations

Most people operate from a surface shell which is very limited in scope. They are totally identified with their egos and personalities, which are protected by this surface shell. They have not yet developed a sense of themselves beyond their personalities – that divine, eternal spark of unlimited awareness.

The mind can become rigid, and closed off from its own magnificence, just as the body can become stiff and inflexible. As the body contracts, the mind develops layers of resistance, which become the limitations of human consciousness. You can learn how to meditate as well as learn Acupressure points that cultivate good mental health.

Meditation: Body & Mind Benefits

The stillness achieved during meditation also slows down the metabolism of the body. This provides a deep state of rest, which has great therapeutic benefits for your brain. It also rejuvenates your entire body, especially the nervous system.

Some meditations concentrate on the breath, and some on a sound (known as a mantra). Others focus the mind on the circulation of energy, the Chi, or of light throughout the body.

Other meditative exercises use sound, such as singing or chanting a word or phrase. These vibrate the thyroid and parathyroid glands, stimulating them to secrete. They also activate the pituitary gland, which balances the endocrine system — the hormones — as a whole.

Mindfulness Meditation

Concentration is meant to be effortless. Instead of struggling and fighting with the stream of thoughts, just keep your attention on the meditation.

Vipassana meditation is a mindfulness technique of observing your thoughts and emotions without judgement. The aim is to sit quietly, very still, as you watch your thoughts come and go. Vipassana meditation aims to clear your mind and obtain enlightenment.

As thoughts float to the surface, let them come and go without trying to control them. Observe the flow of your thoughts, watching them come into your mind, and then letting go of them. When you notice your attention has wandered, gently let go of your thought, and bring your awareness back to the meditation. It’s this continual process of letting go that benefits the brain and mind.

Acu-Yoga Meditation Healing Practice

Sit comfortably with your spine straight.

1. Place the palms of your hands together in Prayer Pose, with the back of your thumbs pressing up against the center of the chest at the level of the heart. Close your eyes, and let your breath grow long and deep for one minute.

2. As you inhale, slowly raise and open your arms up over your head, as you let your head drop slightly back. Open yourself to the universe.

3. As you exhale, make the sound of “SU,” and let your arms slowly float back to center, in Prayer Pose. Let your head return to a straight position.

4. Meditate by gently putting your hands in your lap as you continue to keep your eyes closed. Sit quietly with your spine straight, and imagine that you can still hear the sound of “SUUU” vibrating as you breathe slowly and deeply, sitting very still for a few minutes — in a relaxed way.

Going Further

Meditation requires repeated practice and discipline to achieve success with it. The many benefits of personal and spiritual unfoldment that can be attained through this inner work are so rewarding. Thus, it becomes a joy, not a duty or an exercise.

Whatever effort you do put into it comes back to you many, many times over. Your life begins to expand in ways that you had never imagined. Meditation unfolds this process of self-fulfillment.
