History (old is gold)

The history of Dhyaan is thousands of years old, not today.

Even in Hindu texts Lord Shiva is shown most of the time in the posture of meditation, then you can get an idea of how old meditation is.

One of the earliest references to meditation is found in the Hindu Vedas of India.

Around the 6th to 5th centuries BCE, other forms of mediation developed via Confucianism (an ancient Chinese belief system) and Taoism in China as well as Hinduism, Jainism, and early Buddhism in India.

Dhyaan has spread in the West since the late 19th century.

But the real father of mediation is – Paramahansa Yogananda.

  • In 1960 Swami Rama became one of the first yogis to be studied by Western scientists.
  • In 1981 the first vipassana “dhyaan” centers outside India and Myanmar are established in Massachusetts (US) and in Australia.

How Does Meditation Work?

Many researchers also believe that meditation may change your whole life, but still the same question how is it work?

When we meditate, there are changes in our brain wave patterns. depending upon our state, that is, if we are asleep or awake, the brain creates waves.

First understand the major parts of our brain – the frontal, parietal lobe, thalamus, and reticular formation,.

Moreover, when we meditate our focus begins in the frontal lobe, which are responsible for emotions, reasoning, self-awareness and planning.

Second – The parietal lobe, this part of the brain helps you gather information about the world around you and orients you in time and space. during meditation, this activity is going to slow down.

When we meditate, is that we stop running from the subconscious thoughts that are continuously running through our lives.

Meditation creates a space b/w flight or fight response, and bring calm rather than reacting on fearful situations.

Using modern technology, like FRMI scans, the overall difference is that our brains stop processing, decreasing beta waves.
