Traditional Indian Classical Raga Based Meditation
Music.
Reaching the World Within
Every living being travels along the path of
life in search of eternal happiness. Humanity has been blessed with the
greatest gift of all; a gift that each of us possesses yet few have tapped
into – the supreme consciousness. Within each person lies a source of
infinite power, energy and knowledge and to acquire these limitless
resources one has to still the conscious mind and transcend the
sub-conscious mind through meditation.
Mrs. Rajasree Mukherjee, an experienced Music
Therapist, has used Indian Classical music to great effect in Meditation
techniques. In consultation with the reputed Guru of Indian Music, Pandit
Shyamal Lahiri, she has created this ensemble using traditional Indian
instruments like the Sitar, Flute and Tabla to effectively silence the mind
and start you on the journey of dissipating the sands of the restive mind
and reaching the tranquil waters of bliss that lie within.
Select a quiet place or a comfortable corner
of the room, dim the lights and sit in a relaxed posture keeping the back
straight. Switch on the music and try to empty your mind of all thoughts.
All kinds of thoughts will rush through the mind. Just become a witness, do
not try to analyze or pass judgment, let the thoughts pass as fleeting
clouds.
Let the body respond to the music without
interference of the mind. Do not have any pre-conceived ideas of the effect
of the music on your body – just sit back, relax and let the music flow
through your body. Remember, no two individuals can have the exact same
feelings or body movements – we are all different and each is supposed to
have a unique experience.
