Question from shraboni pathak: Dear Sir, I’ve been practicing meditation for the last 7 years but of late I can’t concentrate, let alone meditate. I can’t control my thoughts and am restless. This is very disturbing because the whole day I feel very bad about it and gradually I’m getting disconnected with my self. Please help me to regain my composure and be able…
Question from jack: I began meditation at the end of summer. Out of the experience so far is that while I meditate my head lifts up. It lifts slowly with each breath, and high enough where the back of my neck hurts. Should this happen, and will this pain pass? I try to push through but it gets to a point where I…
Question from Maggie: Hi there! I’m on week 4 of mindfulness meditation, following an audio. I’ve been enjoying it and one of the key changes I’ve experienced is a peaceful sleep at night. But yesterday, right after meditation I developed a cold. In fact today, it has gotten worse — a blocked and runny nose. Does this have anything to do the meditation?…
Question from james tucker: Hi, My question is, after meditation and transitioning back into activity is there something I should focus on to keep the practice going? I heard you can focus on breath or something like that. What does Ananda teach on a constant focus in activity? Do I continue to chant hong sau and focus on spiritual eye just like in meditation?…
Question from ela singh: Sir, I am a total beginer in meditation. I am trying it for the last few days. I just sit quietly for 20 minutes. I tried to sit erect but I can’t. I feel the best way for me is to lie down on bed. Is that ok? The flow of thoughts never stops either.
Question from james tucker: I have several questions. First does the Ananda homestudy course on self realization teach how to practice the yamas and niyamas as part of the kriya path? I noticed that SRF doesn’t include the yamas and niyamas. I wonder why. My other question is about the meditation. Why is it important to sit perfectly still?
Question from Jeff: Dear Ananda Helpers, I find that when I breathe during meditation, that instead of inhaling for a count of 8, pausing for a count of 8, and exhaling for a count of 8, that that sequence is not as natural to my style of breathing as: inhaling for a count of 8, exhaling for a count of 8, and THEN…
Question from Truthseeker: I have been practicing Hong-Sau for a year now, and I’m experiencing a problem I faced in the beginning — to sit upright without causing pain in the back! It’s been a week now and I’m getting disappointed, as this spoils my meditations, which were so peaceful a week back. I tried to relax and check myself in the mirror…
Question from jane: So, this sounds kind of stupid but here it goes…I had a spiritual awaking about 3 yrs ago. I spend time meditating but afterwards many times I find myself overwhelmed emotionally…in a good way yes, but still extrememly overwhelmed. I have struggled with addiction for years and when I do get those overwhelming feelings, I find myself wanting to go…
