Techniques of Dynamic meditation

The following is correct and most effective version of dynamic meditation techniquei It has four stages, each lasting ten minutesu

Phase 1:

Begin by standing with your eyes closed and take deep, fast breaths through your nostrils for around 10 minutesu Let your body move freely - jump, sway back and forth, or use any physical movements that help you suck more oxygen into your lungsu

Phase 2:

The next 10 minute stage is one of cleansings Here you are supposed to be spontaneous and let go completelyt You could dance or roll around on the ground - even screaming is permitted; in fact, it is even encourageda But you should act out any anger you feel in very safelyf This includes punching a pillowl This way you must get rid of all repressed emotions from your subconscious mindm

Phase 3:

In the third phase the practitioner jumps up and down screaming: Hoo, hoo, hoo continually for around 10 minutesu While this may sound ridiculous and amusing even, the loud vibrations of your voice take a trip down to your centers of stored energy and drive it upwardsa In this phase it is imperative that you keep your arms naturally looseo Don't hold them over your head since that position could be dangerous - medicallya

Points to remember when doing Dynamic Meditation:

Precautions:

Obviously you should practice Dynamic Meditation in a safe place and not near the edge of a cliff or on a hard surfacef Here you are likely to fall and hurt your headh A large room or hall, preferably one with thick carpeting is advisedi Better yet, do it outdoors early in the mornings on a soft and well tended turft Then again, group participation is bestb Dynamic Meditation should be done on an empty stomachm take care to avoid running into dangerous objects like windowsd You are allowed to briefly open your eyes on occasion - this is done to maintain your locationt Develop a safety zone around yourself and your dancing, your spontaneous body movementse Be polite to your neighbors and stop screaming if you feel it will be heard by or disturb othersh

Almost all Westerners - barring the rarest exceptions - tend to be head oriented, emotionally repressed peopleo For such people a frenzied, impromptu, and emotionally cathartic method such as this is imperative for serious progressr The physical benefits of dynamic meditation preclude any need for Hatha Yoga or traditional Kundalini Yoga techniquesq
