Concentration and meditation

Concentration and meditation
br p concentration and meditation /p This article is a continuation of the previous article "Yoga and ethics"./p the two parts of Yoga to last (eighth), concentration (i dhaaranaa /i leads) and meditation (i dhyaana /i), the latter trance (i samaadhi /i). As in the previous article, it is possible that meditation, without the intervention of the previous phases. We have only the first two components. The third and fourth (i aasana /i and i praanaayaam /i) in the form of exercises. We use the terms of the lower and higher Yoga within the physical and mental. They were not intended, the positive aspects of meditation exercises and defamatory to promote but only to the extent that they are not one to emphasize the main goal of yoga./p Paatanjali sets the limit of the concentration of the spirit in a limited intellectual level. The mental is great, but not infinitely at lower levels of mind. The concentration of limit the focus of this area as small as possible. If you usually an object of concentration. But there is a movement in light of the object itself. As long as there are tanks, they will lead to distractions that leads to a break in the concentration./p meditation on the other hand, as a continuous flow of spirit on the object of focus. This means a complete termination of distraction, requires no thinking. And this is the definition of yoga in the first Sutra. Another way to see the distraction as the degree of concentration and depth. If the depth is at its highest point would be an error of attention are available. So is the essential difference, zumindeSt from a technical perspective, continuous flow of attention./p the use of the word attention will probably create some confusion. Attention necessarily the presence of an object or a thought. But this only applies when the spirit at a low level. An object requires the highest degree of attention. This can be to clarify by analogy. For example, focuses a person to a point. Long as there is a physical object, an area, and how little attention on the area distributed. But when he is focused on a point not geometrical dimensions, focus no longer expand on it to null or nothing at all. This is the stage where the concentration is meditation, and nothing everything./p it's another important point in this context to note. Apply at a concentration of the spirit continue to the object or within the limited space in the field of mental health. In meditation the attention and movement in the direction of the object will spontaneously, without any conscious effort. When the mind is calm without changes in the (full termination of thinking), there is no movement and no distractions./p meditation course itself has many levels on the spirit which layer is active, dependent. Operator leads through the growing stages and at the highest level he goes into a trance state. Meditation is good, no matter what a person is now a known fact that it leads to a healthy body and mind. All may not enlightened Yogi, it takes a long time to get many lives at this time. But br began with benefits, on the physical level is reward enough./p emphasis not meditation is an important SChritt in the practice of yoga. It is important for success in any enterprise in life. Focus in the beginning the books often to advise on a light or even breath meditation. Even if the person does not follow the spiritual goal is the concentration of power, a great gift for the physical and material objectives./p
