tionIndividuals seek ways to manage stress and some resort to new age techniques such as meditation. Meditation is the use of sounds that are constantly repeated or chanted which emphasizes the sound itself.

Guided meditation techniques also teach that when chanting a mantra, they would experience a sensation that would make one very sensitive to the environment around him. This creates heightened senses with a relaxed mind and body. Normally, the mantra is derived from Sanskrit- a very old Indian language. Traditionally, mantra sounds represents states of consciousness like dreaming that makes meditation effective.

Sit comfortably with your legs across but ensure that you sit in an upright position. The thumbs should be located just a few inches below the navel and they should touch each other. As you meditate, think of images that help you focus such as mountains or waterfalls. Do this step for at least 10 minutes and see the heightened awareness you have gained.
