HOW TO MEDITATE WITH SUKHASANA

• Facing stress, anxiety and tensions every
  day? Feeling tired and exhausted all the time?
  Are you seeking bliss? Looking to experience pure
  happiness?
• If your answer is yes to all the above
  questions, then read on and learn to meditate
  with Sukhasana.
• Sukhasana is suggested. In Sanskrit means
  Sukh word means
• happiness, ease or bliss.
  Its factual translation is good
• space, coming from the Sanskrit
  root words, su (good) and
• kha (space).
• Sukhasana seems simple enough
  pose to assume. One might think all you have to
  do is sit cross-legged and its done. But
  this yoga asana has much more profound meaning.
  It creates a positive impact and meditative state
  that can transform the way you live.

HOW TO MEDITATE WITH SUKHASANA

• A well-aligned body posture in Sukhasana can
  create a relaxed state that transforms the mind
  as well. The first challenge is to sit
  cross-legged. Sit up straight.  This helps and
  lifts the spine and opens up the chest region.
  Your body weight is evenly distributed over your
  sitting bones. Head, neck and spine are aligned
  in one straight line. Contrary to what one might
  think this takes core strength. Regular practice
  of this asana tones your torso muscles from the
  front, back and sides. All of these small
  adjustments of directing your spine and attention
  then gradually takes you to your breathe. So
  start to focus on your breath. This process takes
  you from the outward adjustments to the inner you.

Mind and breath are connected. Learn to be a
passive observer of your breathing process. Do
not exaggerate the breathing movements. Just
observe. Slowly a rhythmic breathing is built,
and you, relax. This takes repeated practice, and
then you experience a mental calm.

• Now Before You Head To Your Yoga Mat And Start
  Few Pointers

We have become habituated to sitting on chairs
and are used to leaning back or sink through the
middle of your body. This creates unnatural
postural defect and weakens the abdominal and
back muscles. For beginners just sitting on the
floor can be challenging. Tight hips might pose
some problems. So initially when you start you
can elevate your pelvis and sit on folded
blankets, this allows releasing and opening the
hips gradually. Actively lift the rib cage and
focus on the subtle stretch of the rib muscles.
After this try to maintain the spine length after
you lower the arms and rest them on the thighs.

• Try to adjust and balance the weight on the
  centre of your sitting bones. Position the pelvis
  region such that the sacrum moves in. The abdomen
  should lift inward and upward.
• Avoid tipping your pelvis towards the front with
  stomach falling forward.
• Slowly, you will start to notice that you are no
  longer your body but in fact, the body, breathe
  and mind combine into one unit. Your thinking
  slows down, and heart feels light, and you feel
  connected to the inner you.
• With enough asana practice, when you find
  steadiness in your body and ease rhythm in your
  breathing you are experiencing Sukhasana. You
  will be self-absorbed and then may perceive
  blissful joy.
• Although most commonly interpreted as easy or
  comfortable pose initially its not that ease.
  But sincere efforts and enough practice will get
  you to an innately happy state and at ease. When
  you learn to perform the asana in this way you
  are capable of moving through life proficiently
  without stress, fatigue, pain, anxiety and panic
  or fear.
