Yogam and meditation are powerful tools to align the body, mind, and soul. While the journey may come with distractions and challenges, consistent effort and spiritual awareness can lead to profound inner transformation. This guide addresses common experiences, misconceptions, and practical tips for deepening your yogic journey.
Bathing in Waterfalls: A Spiritual Practice
For spiritually inclined individuals, bathing in waterfalls is not just refreshing but also energetically cleansing. There is no harm in embracing such practices, as nature plays a vital role in spiritual grounding.
Dealing with Distractions During Practice
It’s natural to get distracted while doing yogam or meditation. The key is to gently bring your focus back to your breath or point of concentration without frustration. Over time, consistent practice strengthens your ability to stay present and focused.
Sleepiness During Yogam or Meditation
Some people feel sleepy during yogic practice. This is a common occurrence, especially for beginners. Each experiences meditation differently; there’s no “one-size-fits-all” rule. Simply acknowledge the feeling and allow your body and mind to adjust with regular practice.
Experiencing Vibrations in the Head: Should You Be Concerned?
Many practitioners report feeling a strong vibration or energy at the center of the head or between the eyebrows during meditation. This sensation is often a sign of spiritual awakening or energy flow. There is no need for concern—your system is receiving and processing energy. However, if it causes discomfort, reduce the intensity of your focus and return to it gradually with more experience.
The Power of Oil Baths
Make it a habit to take oil baths twice a day if possible. This traditional practice helps to cool the body, reduce heat generated during yogic activities, and keep your nervous system balanced.
Let Go of Fear, Embrace the Practice
Don’t fear the unknown while doing yogam. Trust the process, and more importantly, trust yourself. When practiced with sincerity, yogam becomes a path to inner peace, self-realization, and divine connection.
Effort, Faith, and Divine Blessings
Whatever you do in life, do it with complete effort and a clear heart. If success doesn’t come your way, understand that fate and divine blessings may be at play. Accept it with grace and maintain your positive energy.
Detach from Expectations to Control Anger
Anger often arises from unmet expectations. By lowering or letting go of expectations, we automatically reduce emotional turmoil. Awareness of this pattern is the first step toward emotional mastery.
God Is One: Embrace the Form You Connect With
People may worship different gods based on their upbringing or beliefs, but ultimately, God is one. You are free to pray in any form that brings you comfort. It’s your connection and devotion that matter the most, not the form.
Combining Paramporul Yogam with Other Practices
You can practice Paramporul Yogam alongside other yogic or spiritual disciplines. They complement each other and help in deepening your understanding and connection with the divine source.
Final Thoughts: Answers Come from Within
When you meditate deeply, especially on the center of the eyebrows (Ajna chakra), you may sometimes experience discomfort or even headaches. With practice, this will ease, and in time, answers and insights will arise from within. The journey of yogam is one of patience, surrender, and deep inner listening.
