John Kaldawi Reviews On Meditation:


John Kaldawi is inspired by medication.  Meditation is where the mind moved into higher level of consciousness for the purpose of reaching the state of mindlessness leading to where the Self is finally realized.

Meditation if practiced on a daily basis, it can promote relaxation, give internal energy and develop compassion, love, forgiveness, generosity.  The more dedicated type of meditation can allow someone to reach single-pointed concentration and enjoy the state of well being.

Doing more research, John learned that meditation has been practiced since the beginning of humanity and through various groups and religions all over the world.  It is an effort to self regulate the mind and the thoughts that's associated with it. It also can be practiced as awareness of everyday activities which is a different form of meditation.  Yoga on the other hand is usually practiced to prepare someone to sit for long intervals of meditation, and meditation ultimately is to unite the one self with Brahman the Ultimate Self.

With Patanjali, there are the eight limbs leading to the Real Self.  These are: 1- Discipline (Yamas), 2- Rules (Niyamas), 3- Postures (Asanas), 4- Breath control (Pranayama), 5- Withdrawal of the senses (Pratyahara), 6- One pointed mind (Dharna), 7- Meditation (Dhyana), 8- Realization (Samadhi).

John Kaldawi also learned that Meditation has calming effect and directs the attention inward until the meditator becomes awareness himself.  The effect of meditation is beyond description it has to be at least tried by everyone, and better yet on a daily basis.

Animal postures, Yogasanas and Prana

John Kaldawi learned that in ancient times and through observation, the rishis understood how animals live in harmony with their environment and with their own bodies.   They understood, through experience, the efforts of a particular posture and how the hormonal secretions could be stimulated and controlled by it.   For example, by stimulating the rabbit or hare in shashankasana they could influence the flow of adrenaline responsible for the 'fight or flight' mechanism.   Through imitating animal postures, the rishis found they could maintain health and meet challenges of nature for themselves. Furthermore, John Kaldawi learned that Prana, vital energy, which corresponds to 'ki' or 'chi' in Chinese medicine, pervades the whole body, following flow patterns, called nadis, which are responsible for maintaining all individual cellular activity.   Stiffness of the body is due to blocked prana and a subsequent accumulation of toxins.   When prana begins to ...
