CINDY MASTRY: Namaste. Meditation on Anusara yoga is really no different than meditating in any other style of yoga. The idea's to calm the mind, come to one point of concentration, let all other thoughts that are bombarding your mind just float by and become a part--not a participant in the thoughts but just an observer of those thought. So the first thing that you do is find a comfortable seat. And now if your knees are way high, you might want to seat on a block or preferably a blanket to lift yourself up a little higher because we want to meditate with a long spine. We have this long spine rooting, you're grounded right down into the center of the earth, then you can lengthen up and open your heart. Anusari yoga's all about opening the heart to grace, lengthening up to the side bodies, rolling the shoulder blades down and back and lifting up to the crown of the head, allowing the eyes to soften close and then you just focus on your breath, allowing yourself to be succumbed so aware and alive that you can feel the air as it comes into the body and feel the expansion of the heart as it leaves the body. So mediating in Anusari yoga is really no different than meditating in any other style of yoga. And it's all done to connect with the divine.
