Padmasana

The meaning of 'Padma' is lotus. Many yogis state that the body posture is like a lotus on completion of this asana, hence it is called Padmasana. This meaning is also right, but in fact it is called Padmasana because by sitting in it a man develops his conscious lotus.




Padmasana is a specific posture of yoga. In this, all the muscles of the body are exercised which have become firm due to not being used. In addition, it accelerates the process of circulating pure blood in the brain. This is the reason that this asana is considered best for meditation.

Experimental method -


Lay a blanket or a blanket lying on the ground by turning it into four layers. Sit on it with both legs spread in front. Now, by holding the right leg with the calf and feet, bend it slowly at the knee. It is difficult to bend the leg after an angle of 90 °. Practice slowly for this, even if it takes several days.

Now hold the bundle and paws of the right leg and lift the right leg slightly, and pull it inwards. Its practice also takes time. Apply the right leg to the root of the left thigh and tighten it. Now bend the left leg from the knee and raise the bundle slightly with the left hand and hold the claw with the right hand. Place the left leg heels in the root of the right thigh. Then, with fingers in Gyanmudra, keep it on the knees. Keep waist, back spine, neck straight.

After this, the practice of locating the light in the darkness is done by closing the eyes. It has seven steps. This meditation is then used to awaken the Kundalini.
