Meditation FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions – The Panch Kosha

What is meditation?

Meditation is a practice that involves training your mind to have focused attention and awareness for nurturing your mental, and emotional health and overall well-being.  It’s a codified ancient system given to us by our ancestors. 

There are several meditation techniques for beginners that can help you awaken your true nature so you can find the pure joy, love, bliss, balance, and peace that already exist within you.

Where did meditation come from?

Meditation, a practice that dates back to the Vedic periods (5000 to 3500 BCE), has been linked to our holistic health benefits. Originating from India, the practice has reached across the world touching millions of lives over several centuries.

Is meditation relevant in today’s world?

It is observed that people who meditate are usually happier, calmer and more focused than those who don’t.

The restorative effects of meditation and mindfulness are now being confirmed in studies using modern imaging technologies like MRI or EEG. The simple relaxation strategies used while meditating can actually rewire the physical brain. It works to heal conditions such as high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and pain and much more. So, it is very relevant in today’s world. 

What do you do exactly in meditation?

Meditation exercises can be something as simple as just sitting comfortably and focusing on your breath for a few minutes. Some advanced meditation techniques may include chanting mantras while following specific patterns of breathing.  

What is the goal of meditation?

Our mind always tends to wander even when we’re doing nothing. Not all thoughts are very constructive or helpful. Most of the time we are either thinking about the past or the future. The idea behind meditation is to calm down the thought processes (not to stop all thoughts) and refocus the mind towards healthy spiritual stimuli. 

By avoiding distracting,  harmful thoughts (obsession, worries etc.), you can engage in mindfulness and fully indulge in the richness of the present moment. The primary goal is to promote better body-mind integration. 

Our online meditation classes for beginners are conducted with an experienced trainer to achieve this goal. 

How do you know you’re making progress in meditation?

The best way to understand if you’re making any progress is by watching out for these common signs. 

• Your sleep has improved. 
• You are not pushing yourself any longer, rather, you have eased yourself into the practice.
• You feel less stressed and less worried than before. 
• You are more in control of your thoughts and emotions instead of letting them control you. 
• You find pleasure even in simple things in life, like everyday chores. 
• You are beginning to look at stressful situations in a different way. 
• Overall, you’re more at ease with yourself and the world around you.  

Remember, there are no definitive milestones to reach. It is the little improvements that you make every time you meditate, come together to create a wonderful rich journey towards optimal health and wellness.

That being said, it’s also important to do any kind of meditative or integrative practices under proper advice and expert supervision to enjoy maximum results.

What should I think while meditating?

The purpose of meditation is not to engage in overthinking. It’s not that the mind will be completely blank. There will still be some thoughts, but with certain techniques, you can learn to be more aware of them. You can channelize your thoughts and feelings in the right direction. When the mind is clear and focused enough, positive thoughts will follow.

What are the benefits of meditation?

Scientific research has shown that meditation can actually change the brain. 

The deep state of peace and relaxation you gain through mindfulness classes online, can benefit you in many ways. 

• Relieves stress 
• Decreases anxiety and negative emotions 
• Reduces risk of depression 
• Improves attention and working memory
• Enhances self-awareness and ability to live in the present 
• Increases patience and optimism 

On a biological level, meditation actually works by turning off the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for increasing heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system. 

As a result, our body experiences a state of relaxation, and relaxation promotes healing. 

How long does it take for meditation to change the brain?

The exact time required by meditation to bring desired changes in the brain functions is not yet known. 

The findings, however, suggest that eight weeks of meditation sessions can be sufficient to help you see the results, i.e., gain better emotional health and sharpen your mind. 

Is meditation hard for beginners?

You may find it difficult only when you are not certain what to expect during the process and why you are doing it. Sitting for 10 minutes without doing anything may seem to be hard for a beginner. The moment you realize you’re again trapped in the mind’s chatter, you have to learn to let it go. This can be as simple as doing a gentle stretching exercise. But again, it takes discipline and a bit of time.
