20 Minute Guided Meditation | Cosmic Meditation | Exercise For Brain and Mind

Many of you may be confused about the horse sacrifice or Ashvamedha Yajna meditation. Let me guide you step by step and teach you practical cosmic meditation. This meditation will exercise your brain and mind, enhancing your imagination and concentration powers. In each step, you must imagine the object as prescribed and keep that object in your imagination for 10 seconds. You can increase the time based on your power of concentration. It's essential to note that when I ask you to meditate on an object, focus solely on that object and avoid trying to meditate on other surrounding objects. Transition between objects should be graceful, akin to one movie scene merging with another. Remember, your mind is like a horse—it may try to wander, but you are the jockey tasked with guiding it to its stable, which is Brahman for your mind.

Preparation:

Choose a peaceful, airy place for this meditation. Avoid bright lights; you can dim the room if necessary. Strong incense should be avoided, as it can disrupt your meditation and cause breathing problems. Ensure the room is well-ventilated. To maintain silence, turn off any noisy fans or air coolers and electronic gadgets. If possible, sit in Padmasana Yoga posture; otherwise, sit or lay down comfortably with a straight back and normal breathing. Close your eyes and let's start with the recitation of Om.
