HOW TO GO DEEPER IN MEDITATION ? ~ Ishan Shivanand
In this instructional talk, the speaker reviews Indian native medicine and its meditative traditions—Jainism, Buddhism, and Sanatan theology—to distill a common framework shared by all modalities. By analyzing the "permutation‑combination" of practices, four universal factors emerge: (1) Body consciousness, encompassing posture, asanas, and the mind‑body connection; (2) Breathwork, described as the "holy grail" of meditation, with techniques derived from native principles; (3) Intention, or dharana, which involves directing and controlling the mind through methods such as selective awareness and goal setting; and (4) Emotion, understood as the thought that generates physiological impact. The speaker briefly explains each factor’s role and its physiological relevance, offering a concise roadmap for practitioners seeking deeper meditation experiences.
