Psychic Centres

According to the system of Preksha Meditation, psychic centres are junctions between self, psyche, and body.

The psychic centres consist on subatomic psychic particles and are connected with the endocrine system. The endocrine system influences all our actions and reactions via hormones.There are many of psychic centres all over the body, Preksha Meditation gives special relevance to thirteen of them: 

# Psychic Centres LocationEndocrine

11 Centre of Enlightenment

Centre of Forehead Pineal

12 Centre of Peace Top Of The Forehead At The Hair Line

Hypothalamus

13 Centre of Wisdom Top of Head Cerebral Cortex

Perception of psychic centres concentrates the mind on a psychic level (see also: psychic colours and colour meditation).Focusing on the psyche liberates the soul from attachments.Managing the psychic centres helps us to transform spiritual aims into action by refining negative impulses.

The second step of Preksha meditation is the practice of internal trip, antaryatra, through the spinal cord.

Take your mind to the lower end of the spinal cord, called the Centre of Energy.

Allow your mind to go upward inside your spinal cord up to the top of the head called the Centre of Knowledge.

Again allow it to come back through the same path to the Centre of Energy.

Again and again repeat the same process. Let your mind continuously undertake the trip inside

the spinal cord and perceive the subtle vibrations of the vital energy, taking place inside the spinal cord, or whatever sensation you get there.

Simply perceive them without any reaction. Concentrate your entire consciousness on the spinal cord.

You may synchronize your internal trip with the process of breathing. During exhalation, undertake the upward trip and during inhalation, undertake the downward trip. Use deep concentration and complete awareness.Practice the internal trip through the spinal cord.Allow your mind to rise and fall inside the spinal cord just like mercury rising and falling inside the instrument used for measuring blood pressure.

The third step of preksha meditation is

Perception Of Breathing

Regulate your breathing; make it slow, deep and rhythmic.

Let the vibrations of each breath reach your navel. Allow your abdominal muscles to expand during

inhalation and contract during exhalation. Now concentrate your mind fully on your navel. Practice

deep, slow and rhythmic breathing, by allowing each breath to take the same time. Perceive each inhalation and exhalation through the expansion and contraction of

the abdominal muscles accompanying each inhalation and exhalation respectively.

Continuing the slow, deep and rhythmic breathing, now shift your attention from the navel and focus it inside the nostrils at the junction of both the nostrils. Perceive each incoming and outgoing breath. Remain fully aware of each and every breath.Continuously practice slow, long and rhythmic breathing - inhale and exhale each breath while remaining fully aware of it.

Fully occupy your mind in perception of breathing.

If you are distracted by any thought, do not try to stop it forcefully, but also perceive it, and then again start perceiving your breath.If the distraction is frequent, you may hold your breath for a few seconds without causing any discomfort.Maintain the continuity of the awareness of breathing.Merely perceive it without like and dislike.Perception Of Alternate Breathing

In the practice of breathing through alternate nostrils, you have to inhale through one nostril and exhale through the other, then inhale through the same and exhale through the other.

Try to accomplish the alternation by exercising your will-power.But in the beginning you may make use of finger and thumb of the right hand by placing the right thumb against the right nostril and the ring finger of the right hand against the left nostril and resting the middle and index fingers on the forehead.Now, remove alternately the thumb and ring finger for opening the path of breath through the right and the left nostril respectively.

The third step of preksha meditation is perception of breathing through alternate nostrils.

Regulate your breathing; make it slow, deep and rhythmic.

Concentrate your mind inside your nostrils, practice breathing through alternate nostrils.

Inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left one.

Now inhale through the left nostril and exhale through the right one; this completes one cycle.

Repeat the same exercise again and again continuing the rhythmic breathing.

Perceive each inhalation and exhalation by concentrating the mind in alternate nostrils.

Let your mind and breath go hand in hand. No thinking, no memory of the past, no imagination of

future. Simply perceive.

Continuously the mind and breath should accompany each other.

While you are breathing in, let your attention follow the breath inside.While you are breathing out, let your attention follow it outside.

Now, practice the perception of breathing through alternate nostrils together with holding the breath intermittently.Concentrate your mind inside the nostrils.

Inhale through the right nostril and hold the breath inside,

exhale through the left nostril and hold the breath outside;

again inhale through the left nostril and hold the breath inside and exhale through the right nostril and hold the breath outside.

In this way, practice holding of breath four times during one complete cycle.Continuously remain aware of each exhalation and inhalation.You may hold the breath only for a few seconds without causing any discomfort.Repeat the same exercise for several rounds.Let the mind and breath go hand in hand.

The fourth step of Preksha meditation is perception of bright white colour on the Centre of Enlightenment.

Concentrate your mind on the Centre of Enlightenment, situated in the middle of your forehead.

Allow your mind to penetrate inside and perceive bright white colour there. You may visualise as if the bright white light of the full moon is spreading throughout the portion or visualise the bright white colour of the snow or any other white thing.

Practice concentrated visualisation of bright white colour on the centre of enlightenment.

Perceiving the bright white colour, experience through auto-suggestion that all your passions & emotions are being pacified.

All your excitations are subsiding. Your anger is waning away. Now allow your mind to spread throughout the whole

portion of your forehead and perceive the bright white colour there.

Visualise that the particles of bright white light are permeating the whole portion of the forehead, covering the emotional area in the frontal lobe of your brain.

Continuously perceive bright white colour and experience complete tranquillity, complete mental peace and bliss.

Conclude the meditation session with two or three long breaths. 

The Aphorisms Of Wisdom Appana Sachchamesejja, mettim bhuesu kappae.

ahamsu vijjacharanam pamokkhamSearch truth yourself and befriend all living beings.

For emancipation from sufferings, practice knowledge and conduct.[3 times]

The Aphorism Of Taking Refugearahante saranam pavvajjamisiddhe saranam pavvajjami

I seek refuge in the adorable ones.I seek refuge in the emancipated ones.

I seek refuge in the saints.I seek refuge in the religion propounded by the

omniscient ones. Now adopt the posture of obeisance, that is kneel

and bow, pay obeisance to truth. With folded hands first inhale fully and then during

exhalation, pronounce

The Aphorism of Faith

Vande SachchamI pay my obeisance to Truth

by bowing down to ground.Repeat it three times.

Meditation session concludes.AWARENESS OF WHOLE BODY

Introduction to be given prior to the exercise:

The practice of the perception of body consists in concentrating the mind on each part of the body, one by one and perceiving the sensations and vibrations taking place in each part.Of course, here the perception does not mean the visual perception, but the mental one.The sensations may be superficial sensations of the skin such as the contact with your clothes warmth or coolness, itching and perspiration etc, or they may be the sensations of pain, numbness, tingling etc. felt in the muscles or the vibrations of the electrical impulses in the nervous system or any other type of vibrations.Starting from the surface you have to penetrate deeply inside and try to become aware of the internal and subtle vibrations.Remain completely equanimous towards the

sensations; try to keep your mind free from like or dislike.

A third step of preksha meditation is perception of body.     Concentrate your mind on the big toe of your right foot.

Allow it to spread and permeate throughout the whole portion of the toe. Perceive the sensations and vibrations taking place in that region. Become aware of them, experience them without any like or dislike; use deep concentration and remain fully alert.

Now shift your attention to each part of right limb one by one. I shall now indicate the name of the part of your body on which you have to concentrate your mind and perceive it: The other toes, the sole, the heel, the ankle, the upper part of the foot, the calf-muscles, the knee, the thigh, upto the hip-joint. Perceive the whole part, experience the sensations and vibrations taking place in each part. Maintain equanimity.

In the same way practice perception of all the parts of your left limb.Thus the trip of the lower body is completed.

Now, start the trip of the middle body from the waist upto the neck.Concentrating your mind on each part one by one--perceive the waist, the navel, the abdomen including the big intestine, the small intestine, the kidney, the spleen, the liver, the pancreas, the duodenum, the stomach and the diaphragm. Then the whole portion of the chest including the lungs, the heart, the ribs, the throat and the vocal cords. Concentrate your mind and perceive.

Then practice the perception of the whole portion of the back including the spine, the spinal cord and the neck.

Now concentrate on the whole portion of the right hand and arm including the thumb, the finger, the palm, the wrist, the lower arm, the elbow, the upper arm and the shoulder. Perceive each part one by one. In the same way concentrate on the left hand and arm.The trip of the middle body is completed.

Now we come to the upper body.Concentrate your mind on each part from the chin upto the head. The chin, the lips, the inner portion of the mouth including the tongue, the teeth, the palate, the cheeks, the nose, the right ear, all the three parts---the outer, the middle and the inner, the right temple, in the same way the left ear and the left temple, the right eye, the left eye, the forehead and the head. Perceive each

part one by one. During the perception of the tongue allow your tongue to remain hanging freely, without touching anywhere inside the mouth.

While perceiving the head, perceive all parts of your brain -the front, the back, the right, the left, the outer and the inner. Allow your mind to permeate throughout the brain. The trip of the upper body is completed.

Now practice the perception of body as a whole.You may stand up slowly and carefully, keeping your eyes closed. Allow your mind to travel from the big toes to the head and from the head to the big toes, rather speedily. Passing through each part of the body, perceive the vibrations throughout the body. Experience a tingling sensation in each and every muscle, skin, nerve and cell produced by the contact of your conscious mind. You may also practice the holding of breath for a while intermittently.Get yourself completely absorbed in the perception of body.

Now allow your mind to travel throughout the body rather slowly. If you experience pain or any other peculiar sensation, you may stop there for a while and perceive it with equanimity without any like or dislike.

 

Introduction to be given prior to the exercise:

The physical discomfort resulting from seasonal changes - sensations produced by disease.

Mental sensations such as sensations of pleasure and pain - sensations of comfort and discomfort, and emotional sensations such as opposing views, opposing nature, opposing taste - all these affect me, but I should not be swayed by them.

If I permit their influence to overwhelm me, it would inhibit my abilities.Less I am affected, greater would be my strength.That is why development of forbearance is the key to my success in life.

7. Conclude the meditation session with recitation of Mahaprana Dhvani.

Shades of Passion (LESHYAs):Spiritual Uplift and Conservation of Natural Resources

Introduction:

The word 'Leshya' (shades of passion) can be explained as an aura around an individual reflecting the innermost disposition which one assumes under a given set of circumstances as well as disposition itself. In view of the Jain theory of karma, it is the mental disposition or feeling that influences the soul. Thus the concept of shades of passion is closely related to the Jain theory of karma. Further, shades of passion bring about facial and physical expressions. Thus the total personality of an individual is shaped by the kind of mental dispositions and inclinations that one sustains and which are primarily reflected on the face. The reflection of different kinds of dispositions or emotional states is a matter of common knowledge to almost every one of us. When a person gets very angry, or when he/she is engrossed in a mournful state or when he/she gets emotionally thrilled with joy, the aura and the very look on his/her face changes, and we can read his/her prevailing mental state just from the features of his/her face. The predominance of a particular feeling or disposition - good or bad - fashions the total personality of an individual. The prevailing atmosphere as well plays

a significant role in molding one's disposition and, in turn, one's personality. An atmosphere of trust and goodwill produced by the presence of a great soul induces a sense of optimism and joy in all. It leads to spiritual uplift. Such spiritual advancement of a person can be deciphered on the basis of the knowledge of shades of passion. Almost all yoga-systems including Patanjali and Buddhist systems have recognized the theory of LESHYAs - shades of passion.

Six Kinds of Shades of Passion:

Jain scriptures describe six shades of passion (colors). They are, in order of decreasing intensity, black (dark, KRISHNA), blue (NEEL), grey (the color of a pigeon, KAAPOT), yellow (color of sunlight, PEET or TEJOLESHYA), light pink (color of lotus, PADMA), and white (crystal clear, SHUKLA). Obviously, the first three represent undesirable dispositions that result from bad intentions or inclinations. They have an adverse influence on the individual's spirit, causing the influx of painful (PAAP) karma. They also lead to detrimental impact on one's animate and inanimate environment. Obviously, the worst shade of passion is the black one as it involves the most intense emotions and passions (KASHAAYs) of anger, pride, intrigue and greed. An individual having this shade of passion has total disregard for his/her own spiritual well-being and for the welfare of his/her environment - living and nonliving. The last three shades of passion result from mild passions - good intentions and design. In this sense, they are auspicious. The most auspicious shade of passion is white (SHUKLA). At its highest stage, it embodies the complete absence of passion and is achieved by those who are in the state of spiritual meditation (SHUKLA DHYAAN).

Evidently, each one of the six shades of passion has a variety of gradations. Further, the six shades of passion are related to the four kinds of meditations described in the Jain scriptures. Those who possess black, blue or grey shade of passion indulge in sorrowful (AARTA) and inclement (RAUDRA) kinds of meditation, while those who harbor a yellow, light pink or white shade of passion

practice righteous (DHARM) and spiritual (SHUKA) kinds of meditation.(2)

Lesya dhyana is perception of psychic colours. In this practice, we perceive a specific colour on a specific psychic centre. Since, for a successful meditational session, actual appearance of the desired colour is essential, it is necessary to know fully about the quality of various colours. First of all, all colours are divided in two categories:

1. bright or shining colours which emit or reflect most of the light falling on it, and

2. dark and gloomy colours which do not emit, do not reflect much, but absorb most of the light.

Dull and gloomy black, blue and grey are inauspicious, but bright black etc. are not so. Similarly bright red, yellow and white are auspicious, but dark and dull red, etc. and not so. In lesya dhyana, the following five bright colours are visualised:

1. Green colour as of emerald. 2. Blue colour as of peacock's neck. 3. Red colour as of rising sun. 4. Yellow colour as of sun-flower or gold. 5. White colour as of full moon or snow.

To bring about the actual appearance of the desired colour, it is essential to concentrate and actually see the colour mentally. Visualization is the key to this technique. Once it is sustained and intensified, the mind will project the colour. Actual or coloured cellophane paper wrapped on the lighted bulbs are useful. When one looks at a source of coloured light with open and unwinking eyes for a few moments, he will visualize it with closed eyes. For actual appearance of colour, steadiness and concentration of mind is essential. Concentration here means intensified and sustained visualization of a single colour. As mental steadiness increases and visualization

is intensified, the desired colour is produced. At this stage the experience is real and not imaginary. The following table shows the psychic centres, colours to be visualized and what is to be experienced by intense willing:

Exercise:

1. With your mind's eye visualize that every thing around you, including the air. It is coloured bright green.

2. Take a deep breath and as you slowly inhale, visualize that you are breathing long streams of green air. Repeat the breathing exercise several times, each time inhaling green air. Continue this for 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Focus your attention on Ananda Kendra (Psychic Centre for Bliss) located near the heart and visualize bright green light radiating from this centre. Your full attention should be used for visualization of green light. If the light does not appear or vanish after appearance, do not be disappointed. Intensify your effort for sustained visualization.In case, there is a distraction and your attention wanders. Return it gently but firmly to the visualization of colour. (Continue this for two to three minutes)

Anupreksha

contemplating upon the perceptions experienced during meditation.

Anu:  afterwardsPreksha: to perceive carefully and profoundly

Anupreksha is contemplation on an ethical value and the technique to integrate it into the own ethical canon. Those value imbibing exercises are coupled with breath control, concentration on psychic centres and colour imagination.After religious meditation, four anupreksha are generally practised:

1. Anupreksha of solitariness 2. Anupreksha of the transitoriness of life 3. Anupreksha of helplessness 4. Anupreksha of cycle of birth and death.

Anupreksha is a technique of meditation used for transformative purpose. The word anupreksha is made up two sub words. Anu+Preksha. Anu means after. Preksha means seeing. So anupreksha would mean the attempt after see. Seeing should not be confined to the physical seeing but Knowing. I know that 'I want to be stress free or I know that "I must give up anxiety" or I know "I need to be healthy" & so on. There are many accomplishments one need to achieve, or many transformations are demanded in life. Different people have different habits, and now these habits have to be changed. How to change them? Habits don't change because they are working from a deeper level of subconscious, and our resolution is resolving around the shallow conscious level of mind. Unless our resolutions reach the deeper level of mind, the habits acquired by the mind will not change. It is very necessary therefore to take support of Anupreksha i.e. Bhavna. Anupreksha opens the doors of subconsicous & sends a message to it. In this one uses the power of word, autosuggestion, sound, visualization, reiteration & bring about a change There are many components used in Anupreksha-colours, sound, bhavna, thought process etc. This is also auto-suggestion in a way.

Spiritual Basis of Anuprekshas One side of Preksha- dhyana is -to watch, only watch. Watch without imposing any thought. The second side of Preksha-dhyana is-to contemplate, to think. Contemplation is a great means to attain Truth. Thought is never wasted; it is only wasted when it is not concentrated on a single object. We can know Truth only through thought. Many researches about great facts of life have been conducted through thought - dhyana (Vicar- dhyana). The process of thought is a very powerful process of knowing the truth. It is called 'vichay- dhyana' according to Jain definition. It means thought oriented- dhyana, contemplation orienteddhyana; in which thought is more focused. Scattered and fragmented thoughts cannot become dhyana. When the thoughts become directed toward single direction, they become dhyana. Meditation encompasses both thoughtlessness & thoughtfull state. Both are aa-in the context of only watching (darshan), it is thoughtless dhyana. The thoughts flowing in a single direction become 'vicar- dhyanaa'. Anupreksha is vicar dhyana. Anupreksha means to think over what was seen during dhyana. We saw that there were vibrations in certain parts of the body. The atoms were under going metabolism (chayaapchaya). The basis of this knowing is-preksha. As we see we apprehend the reality. Now we think, contemplate, ponder, the true nature of the body. There is a constant receiving and discarding of atoms going on. They are formed and distorted from the body, the matter cannot be permanent; it also means that the body is 'anitya-dharma' (transitory nature). Thinking and reflecting about this momentary nature is anupreksha. Preksha and anupreksha should be exercised simultaneously. First watch and then think about its results, and contemplate/reflect. The aim of prekshadhyana is to perceive the truth by practicing proper way to see and to think. Anupreksha is also used as a process of preksha- dhyana, to do away with false conceptions and false imaginations. Why has 'anu' been used before 'preksha'? Anupreksha is to watch the truth-not by your own perceptions/ prejudices, instinct or imagination, but watching the reality.

1.'Satyam prati anupreksha' i.e. anupreksha of truth. There are many eternal truths or realities of life. Here are few to contemplate on

2. Anitya Anupreksha (anupreksha oftransitoriness)-all this is about to be left sooner or later. Its nature is devastation and destruction. It is subject to Metabolism (chaya upchaya). It is fleeting, not permanent and momentary. It has many states/stages. Like the body, Anupreksha of other things can also be exercised. 3. Asharan Anupreksha (anupreksha of no shelter/refugee)-no one-family, wealth or matter - can be a refuge or shelter. One must search the way of being refuge or protected within oneself. 4. Sansar Anupreksha (Anupreksha of World)-Living being is trapped between life and death. He is born to die. Sometimes he is born as an animal, and sometimes as a human being, this cycle ofchange is eternal. 5. Ekatva Anupreksha (Anupreksha of Lonliness)-man is born alone and would die alone. Experience and grief-all these are subjective. 6. Anyatva Anupreksha (Anupreksha of Difference)-enjoyment of material things and passion (Kam) are different from me and I am different from them. Matter is different from me and I am different from matter. The experience ofthe difference from the other.

7. Ashouch Anupreksha (Anupreksha of Impurity)-this body is not pure. It perpetually secretes different kinds of secretion like saliva, pus, mucous, & more (vikar). This is enhances a state of detachment. We must neither hate or dislike its impurity not stay attached to its outer looks. Thus asouch Anupreksha is promoted.

Acharya Mahapragya In the practice of Anupreksha we repeat some thoughts in mind again and again. Two things are important-repetition of thoughts and stability of thoughts. Keep repeating one thing again and again, it will turn into reality, and we shall start acting accordingly. We are what we think. We can sit in the boat of Contemplation and reach any remote shore. There is no such shore where we cannot reach after sitting in the boat of contemplation, this is what Acharya Mahapragya meant by his quote. We can transform any thing any where. In the field on Ayurveda, we have a similar example to relate. A person who is familiar with Ayurved knows the difference between the power of 'ashtputi' abhrak (8 layered mica) and 'sahastraputi' abhrak (thousand

layered). The more the 'putis', intense shall be the power. There is a great importance of puti, while preparing medicines. In the same way, ifwe perform any work by adding the repetition of Contemplation, then no other thought will cause any barrier in it. This is the healer of the self & that of the other. Anupreksha can be conveyed to others. Others can be influenced by it. Pacifying others difficulties, curing illness, transforming others heart, changing their thoughts-all this can be done by exercising Anupreksha. Ifwe think about it from the viewpoint of spiritual practice (sadhna), we can achieve forbearance, fearlessness, sweetness etc.Experiment of Atma-sanshan The use of 'Atma-sanshan' has always been important in Indian literature, and many experiments related to it can be known. There is a reference in Vedic literature, the great Yogis repeated the following thoughts with perseverance. -"let speech always be flashing in my mouth. Let pran (Life-force) always be flowing in my nerves. Let there always be power to see in my eyes. Let there always be power to hear in my ears." Through this process they kept nurturing their brains & body. Using this power of thought the old Rishis (saints) used to increase their powers or safe guard their potentials, this is Atma-sanshan (self hypnotism). They used to save their powers and could live till the age of hundred years. We do use similar powers in our daily life, some times positively & some times negatively. Take the incidence of inferiority complex. A man having inferiority complex weakens all his powers. Here the person constantly sends a negative message to the self. Therefore the use of Atma sanshan is very effective. To keep your powers informed, to awaken them and to live it is one of the types of Atma-sanshan. To be unconscious of one's powers, to become uninterested, and to be enveloped in inferiority complex, is another type of Atma-sanshan. Both have their own separate effects

Process of Chitt Shudhi (Mind Purification) No impurities are accumulated on the Consciouness of a person who practices anupreksha along with preksha- dhyana, and neither does his

conscious get into unconscious. It is therefore necessary to practice Anupreksha.
