Raj-yoga meditation
Raj-Yoga meditation, also known as Raja Yoga, is a form of meditation that focuses on controlling the mind to achieve self-realization and inner peace.25 It is considered the “royal path” of meditation and involves techniques such as Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation) to still the mind.2
Raj-Yoga meditation can be practiced anywhere and at any time, without the need for rituals or mantras.5 It is a form of open-eye meditation taught by the Brahma Kumaris organization.6
Research has shown that Raj-Yoga meditation can enhance positive thoughts and alter gray matter volume in specific brain regions.6 This meditation technique can help individuals reduce stress, detach from material objects, and achieve a state of inner joy and self-realization.
Here are some steps to practice Raj-Yoga meditation:
- Find a quiet place and sit comfortably, either in a cross-legged position or a chair.4
- Focus on your breath or visualize a space in front of your closed eyes, known as Chidakasha Dharana.
- Try to remain a disinterested witness to any thoughts or visions that may appear.
- Regular practice of Raj-Yoga meditation can lead to significant improvements in mental and emotional health.
