The Whole Body Changes Through Meditation

Meditation is often spoken of as a practice for calming the mind, but its impact goes far deeper. It is not only the mind that transforms through meditation - the whole body changes. Regular meditation, whether practiced alone or in collectivity, connects us to universal consciousness. In that connection, the body, mind, and soul align, and the transformation becomes complete.

When we meditate, we step into silence. This silence is not empty; it is filled with the vibrations of universal consciousness. As we surrender to this flow, the inconsistencies within us begin to dissolve. The restlessness of the mind quiets, the heaviness of emotions lightens, and even the body begins to respond. Meditation is not simply a mental exercise - it is a holistic process that touches every cell of our being.

Health is one of the first areas where change becomes visible. Stress, tension, and anxiety are often the root causes of physical ailments. Meditation dissolves these roots. As the mind calms, the body relaxes. The nervous system resets, the heartbeat steadies, and the breath deepens. Over time, health moves toward near perfection. The body becomes lighter, stronger, and more resilient. Meditation is nature’s medicine, restoring balance without effort.

But the change is not only physical. Problems that once seemed overwhelming lose their grip. Meditation shifts our perspective. We begin to see challenges not as burdens but as opportunities for growth. What once appeared as a problem is no longer a problem - it is simply part of life’s unfolding. This shift in perception is profound. It brings peace, clarity, and courage to face whatever comes.

Collective meditation magnifies this transformation. When seekers gather, the collective energy creates a powerful field of consciousness. In this field, the ego dissolves more quickly, and the body absorbs vibrations of healing and strength. Alone, meditation deepens introversion; in collectivity, it expands connection. Both are essential, and together they bring balance to the whole being.

The body also changes in subtler ways. Meditation awakens energy centres, harmonizes the flow of prana, and strengthens the aura. The protective shield around the body grows, making us less vulnerable to negativity. The immune system strengthens, and vitality increases. These changes are not forced - they happen naturally as the body aligns with universal consciousness.

Meditation also refines our awareness. We begin to witness life as it is, without distortion. This witnessing dissolves inner conflicts. The body, mind, and soul no longer pull in different directions; they move together in harmony. In this harmony, joy arises naturally. Bliss is no longer a fleeting emotion but the natural state of being.

Ultimately, meditation transforms the whole body because it connects us to the whole universe. The body is not separate from consciousness - it is an instrument of it. When tuned through meditation, the body becomes a temple of silence, health, and joy. Problems fade, health flourishes, and awareness blossoms.

Thus, meditation is not just about calming the mind - it is about transforming the whole being. Regular practice, alone and in collectivity, connects us to universal consciousness. In that connection, the body changes, health becomes near perfect, and life itself becomes blissful. The whole body changes through meditation because meditation connects us to the wholeness of existence.

The Seven Bodies

Image
  The Seven Bodies Swamiji in his discourses has spoken about the awakening of the Kundalini and the seven bodies in brief in his discourses. Here we will try and examine what these bodies are. The first body is the Physical Body – this body is also known as the Sthul sharir – we are all aware of the physical body and most of us do not progress beyond this level in our spiritual journey. This develops in the first seven years after birth. The progress starts once a living Guru plants the seed of self-realisation within you. In the next seven years from ages 7 to 14 one develops the second subtle body which is the Etheric Body or the bhava sharir. Here, the emotional development and maturity takes place. Sexual maturity which is the most wanton of emotions is developed by the age of fourteen. Some people’s growth stops here and they cannot progress beyond this stage at all and get stuck with the physical and etheric bodies. After this is the Astral Body or the sukshma shari...

  GSD view from afar Heaven in the Heat - Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram   Our visit to Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram had been in the offing for quite a long time. I had called Umeshji sometime in the middle of April and asked whether we could give Aradka a visit. He said he would be free after the 26 th and so we planned accordingly. Umesh Paiji and I had decided to give a surprise inspection visit to the Rajasthan Samarpan Ashram as per the guidance given by His Holiness Swamiji in May 2023 during his discourse at Mahudi. Accordingly, we had booked flight tickets, airport to Ajmer hotel transfers – both to and fro. Our visit was from April 28 and return was scheduled for May 1 – both Gujarat and Maharashtra Day! On the 28 th we requested Swamiji’s office to inform the Rajasthan trustee and the Administrator of our impending visit and the purpose of the same. The office informed Dr Manoj Sharma and Mr. Sundeep Sharma about our visit ju...

Seeing Visions during Meditation

Image
  Photo credit: Transformational Art College Seeing Visions during Meditation Of late many people have asked me the meaning of visions one sees while meditating. Getting visions is related to the eyes and the eyes have a connection to the agya chakra. Swamiji has always said that once you reach the agya chakra – that is good as well as bad. The good part is that you have reached the agya chakra – means you have reached the sixth level while clearing the five chakras below the agya chakra. Once you reach the agya chakra you start seeing visions of deities, samadhist Gurus, some see a flame, a blue light which moves in circles and so on. So, what is this and why does this happen – this is the most common question. The agya chakra holds all the impressions of the past, whether it is guilt, anger, hurt or spiritual in nature. So, the visions of deities, Gurus, saints, etc are basically of those from the past. These impressions are imbedded deep in the subconscious mind or chitta. Once ...
