Seasonal Meditation

In keeping with nature’s rhythms, at the Ayurveda Resort Mandira we meditate on the cycle of the year. Each of the four seasons is enriching in its own way.

  • Spring awakens the inner garden: a time to sow the seeds for a new beginning. Anger and rage can be redirected, becoming driving forces instead.

  • Summer is the time for the inner fire: allowing our potential to blossom. We can rejoice in the season’s energy and zest for life.

  • Autumn is a time for letting go. What are the thought patterns and behaviours that need to be discarded for best benefit? The result is thankfulness.

  • Winter is the season of tranquillity and reflection: to go deep within to experience the inner light and locate the essence of our being and its quiet, inexhaustible power.

Whenever you feel like stepping away from routines, problems and worries. When you need to let go and be in the here and now.

The practice involves becoming fully aware of your body and all of its tensions, followed by total relaxation.

How I Meditate in 9 Steps

I remove myself from what is going on around me and become an observer of my own life.

I give myself time, preferably between 10 and 15 minutes, to concentrate on my breathing: the harmony of expansion when I inhale and contraction when I exhale.

I feel the breath flowing through my body as I inhale and exhale, and gradually arrive at my calm, steadying centre.

As my mind drifts and I start thinking about other things, I acknowledge that my attention has wandered, let go of the thoughts, and return my focus to my breath. A simple mantra such as ‘I am’ can be helpful in restoring focus.

When the breath calms and slows down, tensions can be released.

There comes a moment when ego and mind become still. I am present – relaxed and wide awake at the same time.

I can now consciously return to what has been on my mind. Allowing the emotions to arise, whether positive or negative, and observing them with honesty, I am now in a position to let them go.

What are my true desires, what do I wish for regarding a particular subject or story? I focus my creative imagination to awaken beautiful images and good feelings. I start to dream consciously. Afterwards, I consider what actions I might take to put things in motion.

I feel myself fully. This is the greatest gift – a feeling of a universal presence that connects all of us.
