Yog Nidra is also termed as conscious sleep. This is a stage between sleep and wakefulness. Without losing the awareness we visualize and this is an important technique in Yog Nidra to unlock the contents stored in our unconscious mind. A person who is not enlightened would dream regularly.

The five koshas envelop the soul like concentric rings, each more subtle than the succeeding one. Each ko

Ancient Hindu scriptures aren’t mythology, they are a guide to life management with the scientific approach. Be it  Vedas or Bhagwad Geeta ; it has everything from life management, to manpower management. It also describes how  ‘Yog and sadhna’  can be used as effective tools to live a  meaningful life . According to Vedas, there are six negative characteristics of mind that is,  kama (lust),  krodha (anger), lobha(greed), moha (delusion),  mada (pride) and matsarya (jealousy) , it is the biggest hindrance in your journey to the inner self. One mantra to the happy life is ‘Acceptance’. As we discussed in our past blogs on meditation, the  relaxation that it is important to face and accept your limitations to improve your focus and lower your stress level. Let’s rewind it again to understand the root cause of all the problems, the panch kleshas. As explained in the Vedas let’s find out about  Fear, Envy, Anger, and hatred .

Meditation helps you overcome any kind of negativity and achieve the positive attitude and positive living. So what is negativity? Here, Nirvana the Moksha defines it as a form of energy that circulates around us and tries to penetrate our sheath of mind and soul, to damage it. This energy comes from the ‘panch kleshas’ that we discussed in the blog earlier. Jealousy, doubt, envy, sadness, depression, shame, fear and frustration leading to severe consequences. To understand this further we have to rewind our life and go back to the stage of ‘Abodha’ like a newborn. Newborn babies are positive personalities. They sleep peacefully, laugh, play, enjoy and love selflessly.  They are protected in a loving environment by the family. As they grow up and they are exposed to a larger circle. They are exposed to the larger prospects of feelings and emotions. They collect the mental toxic waste of negativity from their surroundings, school, playground. Still, the babies get least affected.

In the last 100 years, the way of living has drastically changed around the world. The social system and behaviour are no longer the same as it used to be in the ancient world and its effect on humans has brought dispersion in their energy levels, losing the mind, balance and harmony. Survival at the material level is gradually becoming a way of life. An inefficient senior drags his junior into trouble to save his job, sometimes falsely giving himself a credit to get promotion and some decent percentage raise in the salary. Just imagine how much corrupt thinking and planning he would be doing for all this. Worthless employees are thinking and planning all possible ways to pass on inefficient quality of work to their colleagues. People are cheating people for money, for lifestyle, which has no importance in life. Everyone is just trying every way possible to become gyani and showcase they are better than others using all possible sources to be seen as a great leader. Everyone is s
