How To Do Ultra Deep Meditation
Posted on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 at 3:22 pmMeditation is an extremely powerful yet simple way to relax your mind and body and cultivate a peaceful state of being. However, as well as standard meditation, it is possible to achieve ultra deep meditation states.
The purpose of this article is to give you a method that you can use to help you go into an ultra deep meditation state. The main technique I am going to be discussing is mantra meditation. I will also talk about using binaural beats to attain deep meditative states.
When you do mantra meditation, you repeat a sound or word continuously in your mind. What this does is it keeps your mind busy with a simple boring task while simultaneously letting the rest of your mind to deeply relax. We are going to be using the OM mantra.
First of all, find a dark, quiet place where you will not be interrupted. Sit comfortably in a reasonably upright position, and begin to breathe in and out deeply and slowly. As you breathe out, say the word Ommmmm in time with your long out-breath. Repeat this for a couple of minutes.
After a while, as you begin to feel quite relaxed, allow your breathing to settle back down to its normal rate, and then slowly shut your eyes. In this relaxed state, allow the mind to carry on repeating the Ommmm mantra at whatever tempo or rhythm feels most natural.
The trick here is to use the absolute minimum effort required to continue repeating the mantra. It should feel almost completely effortless; and there is no correct way to repeat the mantra. If the mantra repeats slowly, then just let the mind repeat it slowly. If the mantra repeats fast, then just let the mind repeat the mantra fast. Just allow it to almost automatically flow through your mind.
While meditating, if at any time you find your mind has drifted away from your mantra and is caught up in thoughts, do not let it worry you. All you do is gently guide your mind back towards your mantra in an effortless way. Also, if you find yourself feeling blissfully relaxed and peaceful, then feel free to let the mantra fade away, and just rest in that deeply relaxed state.
After about 10 to 20 minutes of mantra meditation, allow the mantra to fade away, and then spend a couple of minutes just relaxing with your eyes closed, and eventually slowly open your eyes again.
In addition to the mantra meditation (or even instead of it), another way to do ultra deep meditation is to use binaural beats. This entails playing slightly different frequencies into each ear, and your brain hears the difference in frequency and then matches its own brainwave frequency to it. This can cause extremely deep states of mind.
Take a look at this simple way to achieve ultra deep meditation and find how you can begin to meditate deeply now.
