Explanation of M.T.s-7:1::7:1,B&N,BtI

In the previous article ,we explained two Meditation Techniques OOOM/OMMM{Chanting of OM} and BI:BO{Breathing In,Breathing Out}.Today,we will take up balance three techniques of Category I-A viz.7:1::7:1, B& N{Balloning & Normalising} and BtI{Breathing through Infinite} .Please note that all these techniques are connected to breathing.
7:1::7:1
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
In this step,you mentally count 7 while breathing in and mentally count 7 while breathing out.You don’t have to hold your breath while exhaling or inhaling.Count 1in 7:1::7:1 signifies that you don’t have to hold your breath for long.
When you repeat this exercise for 3 to 5 minutes,your mind starts getting calmed down.You become aware of your breathing process and start enjoying deep breathing thus created.

B & N{Ballooning & Normalising}
Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.
When you fill air in a balloon,it expands.Similarly,when you inhale,you have to imagine as if your body is expanding.And,as you exhale,imagine as if you body is coming back to its normal state. The purpose of this exercise is to enhance you visualization capability while being aware of your breathing.
Repeat this process for 3 to 5 minutes daily and you will find that the expansion of your body is enhancing day by day and your visualization capability starts coming under your control.
You get these additional advantages while reaping the benefits of deep breathing.

BtI{Breathing Through Infinite}:

Sit comfortably with your eyes closed.Gently and slowly inhale through your nostrils,imagining as you do so that you are drawing the air from a point infinitely far away.See the air gently come to you from the edge of the universe.Feel it coolly suffusing you body.
Now slowly and easily exhale,sending every atom of air back to its source infinitely far away.It may help if you visualize a thread that extends from you to the far reaches of the cosmos.You can also visualize a star hovering in front of you that is sending light from infinitely far away.In eighter case,imagine thread or the star as your source of air.

This exercise,once again, enhances your visualization capability while allowing you all the benefits of Deep Breathing.This exercise also reminds you of your connection with the entire universe.

These Five Basic Breathing Exercises covered in previous article and in this article will help you a lot in reaching the deeper levels of Meditation.
