Preksa Dhyana - Theory And Practice: [06.12] Benefits - Benefit Of Relaxation - Perception Of Subtle Phenomena

Practitioner of Preksa Meditation should be familiar with the order of meditation exercises. The very first is relaxation and stability of the body. This is the pre-requisite of all techniques. Stability and relaxation lead to perception of breathing, perception of body and perception of thought. Only when one is able to maintain the motionless state of the body, one can perceive the subtle sensations of the body; can know what is happening at organic level and what is happening at cellular level.

The functioning of the nervous system and endocrine system, trans­mission of electric impulses from nerve to nerve, interaction of hormones and neurohormones and the effect of neurotransmit­ters on certain regions of the brain are all perceived under relaxation. As the regular practice develops the depth of relaxa­tion, acuteness of perception increases. As higher levels of con­sciousness are reached, the perception transcends the sensory field and opens the gates of ESP (extra-sensory perception) Hormones and neuro-hormones and the effect of neurotransmit­ters on certain regions of the brain are all perceived under relaxation.
