ASANAS FOR MEDITATION

Swami Sivananda

Asans can be divided into two broad divisions, viz., meditative poses and poses for health and strength. According to Yoga Shastras there are four excellent meditative poses: Padmasan, Siddhasan, Swastikasan and Sukhasan. Without securing a steady Asan, you cannot get on well in meditation. The more steady you are in your Asan, the more you will be able to concentrate and make your mind one-pointed. Select any one of the four that is suitable to you and sit for fifteen minutes and gradually increase the period to three hours. When you sit in the Asan, keep the head, neck and trunk in one straight line. Do not bend the back. 

Meditation builds up your personality and character, cleanses your thoughts, purifies your emotions and allows the seed of spirit to grow. - Swami Sivananda I can do nothing, without the grace of God. Thou art everything. I am Thine, All is Thine.Have holy aspiration. Grow in purity. Meditate seriously. Entertain lofty, divine thoughts.

ASANAS FOR MEDITATION Swami Sivananda Yogic Culture is divided into eight Angas (limbs or steps), viz., Yama, Niyama, Asan, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. Yama is the practice of Ahimsa (non-killing or non-injuring), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (celibacy), Aparigraha (abstinence from greed). Niyama is the practice of Saucha (internal and external purity), Santosh (contentment), Tapas (mortification), Swadhyaya (study of scriptures), Ishwarapranidhana (self-surrender).
