Learning

Learning is something that everybody does from a very early age. However, it does not stop when you leave school or no longer engage in education programmes. In fact, many people consider that they continue to learn right throughout the course of their lives. When you learn, it can be that you are working in an academic way, reading books and interpreting them. There again, others learn by developing a physical skill. Some people learn by developing a preference or taste for something and others by adapting their behaviour to different situations. When we learn, we are not merely acquiring knowledge but developing our brains to cope with the subject matter at hand in ever-more sophisticated ways. Partly, this is by gaining a deeper understanding and, partly, it is by creating new neural pathways in the brain that relate to the subject or activity being learned about.

Meditation

Meditation refers to a variety of mental exercises which have their origin in ancient times and became increasingly popular in the western world over the last decades. While meditating, we practice different kinds of focus to achieve a more mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Meditative practices were developed as part of the path towards enlightenment, self-realisation and the end of suffering. There are various types of meditation, such as focused attention, or mindfulness meditation, which is the most widely studied form of meditation in modern science. Metta or loving-kindness meditation is another example of focused attention. Other forms of meditation are the chanting of mantras or transcendental meditation.

Kundalini Meditation

Kundalini meditation is a form of meditative practice which deals with a divine form of energy which, according to people of Hindu faith, is known as a Shakti. In Hindu belief, Kundalini is a feminine Shakti that resides in the base of the spine. Various tantric exercises are able to cultivate this energy in the body, including, most notably, meditation. To most devout Hindus, meditating in such a way that the Kundalini energy is released means invoking the most powerful divine being, Adi Parashakti, along with the goddesses, Kubjika and Bhairavi. Along with certain other practices, such as pranayama breathing, yoga and the chanting of mantra, so-called Kundalini awakenings are supposed to occur when people meditate. According to those who undertake Kundalini meditation successfully, there is a physical sensation that occurs in the spine, which is said to feel like electricity or a similar energy form running through it.
