Yoga Meditation in Palm Beach 4221 The Gauranga Meditation

Gauranga Meditation

When you go along to a Yoga class you will find that not only do you get to stretch, breathe, build strength and stamina, twist, detox, rejuvenate, practise concentration, determination and have lots of fun. You also get to practise relaxation and meditation.

At our yoga meditation studio we practise a lot of different yoga meditations. We also practise a few different meditation techniques which all have a very harmonising effect on whom ever takes part in the practise BUT generally when combining meditation with hatha yoga we keep it simple.

The Yoga sound Gaur ra an ga which is very easily pronounced in 4 syllables as shown above is one of the primary meditations we teach. Gaur ra an ga means Golden One, so some call this the Golden One Meditation.

The meditations, prayers, or mantras taught at our Yoga meditation studio are all spiritual meditations. This means that the meditations are NOT combinations of ordinary material sounds BUT are exactly what the phrase says 'spiritual meditations' meaning that they descend from the spiritual realm, bringing with them spiritual potency.

How amazing is that. I think that is so cool. All we have to do is plug into the Gaur ra an ga meditation and experience the rejuvenating and soothing affects of Transcendental sound or spiritual sound.

It is such a simple and enjoyable way of meditating and comes with all the associated benefits such as clarity of thought, peacefulness, relaxation, rejuvenation, happiness, stress reduction, and so on and so forth.

This is a timeless process which has been gifted to humanity by the wonderful self realised souls who once walked this planet and are still with us today via their words.

Come along and learn more. Life is an amazing gift, extremely precious, find out how you and I can make the most of ours.

We look forward to meeting and practising yoga and meditation with you.

Namaste

Yoga meditation 4221 - Holistic Treatments - Natural therapies



For many people, particularly those in the western world, holistic pain relief solutions such as acupuncture, and herbal medicines are novel concepts. However, the rest of the world is probably wondering what the fuss is about, because these traditional approaches to holistic pain relief have been around for thousands of years and are still widely accepted until today.





Some studies, including a small well-conducted trial, have reported relief from pelvic pain after acupuncture or acupressure, a technique that applies small pins or pressure to specific points on the body. It is believed to work by exciting nerve receptors in those locations that interact with pain blockers in the brain.
Some women report relief with reflexology, an acupressure technique that uses manual pressure on the body's vital points located in the ears, hands, and feet. These Chinese holistic pain relief methods are based in the belief that health is determined by the level of chi (vital life energy) that is inside the body. This energy is thought to move through pathways called meridians, which connect to specific organs in the body.    
People use different terms when describing systems and methods used in the scope of holistic medicine.  The most popular among the terminologies are alternative medicine, complementary medicine, and natural healing, all of which use procedures that are non-invasive.
