Inner Silence Meditation

The inward journey is always fascinating as the daring involved. It is a journey in search of self-knowledge, authenticity and wholeness. A unique adventure that goes in search of Light, in search of Truth. 

Antar Mouna, inner silence, meditation is a practice belonging to Raja Yoga, the Yoga of the Internalization, consisting of a set of simple but effective techniques, which constitute a systematic process of internalization, which allows transferring the different layers of the psyche, stripping the ego personality, drawing out the essence of a natural and progressive way. 

A practice based on the development of attention and concentration to get into meditation, combining the steps fifth, sixth and seventh (pratyahara, Dharana and Dhyana) to indicate the sage Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. 

Meditation is the state of being which is before the mind. Do not try to reach that state, but allow it to appear, it emerges, because that state is the nuclear part of our Being is not something you have to get outside, but it is already within us. 

The preliminary stage of preparation, try-before sensory isolation (pratyahara) through the care, development of concentration (Dharana) and, finally, the state of meditation (dhyana) - passes through a pre-requisite balance vital and mental energies that make up the human being. Such conclusions can be drawn to the practice of asanas and pranayama of Hatha Yoga, the yoga of balance. 

Thanks to this balance, harmonizing can start the journey inward with certain guarantees of success. Therefore, in inner silence, we combine the practice of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga, as both are complementary. One leads to another in a fluid and natural, the same way that day comes after night, and vice versa. Both types of Yoga are twinned. After a session of asanas, relaxation and breathing exercises, body and mind are in proper condition for reconnection with the spirit, the essence, with the Self 

Sitting quietly in Wake Pose (Padmasana, Ardha Padmasana, sidhasana or shukasana) shows unreacted everything that appears in the field of consciousness. An Observation pure, unaffected, devoid of desires, or dislikes. Full acceptance and, therefore, of understanding. It is not necessary to indicate that the qualities of the meditator must be the courage and bravery. For such qualities will be needed to cope, so unaffected, to all components as they emerge both physically, emotionally and intellectually. 

All prints (samskaras) received over the existence and stored in the subconscious will emerge during meditation. All the fears, traumas, frustrations, unfulfilled longings, repressed emotions, thoughts, suppressed, and so on. will emerge. And, through observation unaffected, unbiased and fair to all these components that will appear in the field of consciousness, will be finally eradicated, allowing a deep understanding appears in its place. Thus, the practice of silent meditation Interior instrument becomes a highly therapeutically. 

In some practices of meditation is to stop the mind. Not Meditation for inner silence. In this practice, which aim is to observe, to learn to face the contents inside. Content that each knows perfectly. We will not get cleaned and the accumulated dirt under the carpet. Through observation, we will confront our shadows to find the light they are. It is not clean "over" to feel a little better. Quite the contrary: it is a thorough cleaning. And indeed, we must have a big desire of truth as to deal with all the components we carry in our subconscious, to enable them to emerge and, then, without reacting, allowing them to go, leaving a clean space inside. 

When everything is clean, what appears is the silence, a silence arises that we feel deep within ourselves and that is not in any way conditional on the outside. It's more than likely continue outside sounds, has to be. But no longer affect us. We found the source. We are at our Center. And we experience inner peace, the bliss of being. The joy of feeling an integral part of life. So it's when Love makes an appearance. A full Love it covers everything, without limits or conditions. A love that is installed in your heart forever, because you realize that was always there.
