Sat Yam Meditation Expanded
One of my yoga teacher’s favorite meditation is Sat Yam, so she likes to have us do it before and after our yoga session.
Satyam comes from Satya, which is”Sanskrit for “truth”. After one of our sessions, this idea came to me. As you can tell by my blog, I like working with the chakras, and my favorite personal meditations often involve going through my chakras. If you are not sure what a chakra is, there are plenty of resources on the internet and books available, or look at one of the many other meditations I have written in this blog.
The most basic Sat Yam meditation is to inhale down to the Root Chakra and up to the Heart Chakra, and then exhale up through the Heart Chakra all the way up to the Crown Chakra. In my own creation, I take you through each chakra with each inhale and exhale.
In this one, you can visualize the inhale and exhale, even if that is not what you are doing.
I cannot believe that it will be almost 10 years since I started this blog. I was at a low place, bored, and thought this blog would be purely dedicated to photography. I have been writing for a long time now, and for some reason, I found it easier to share my writing with strangers. But this past year, which was by no means easy for most of us, has given me the courage and opportunity to share what I write with people who are very special to me.
Enjoy! And for those who like and follow me, thank you. Hopefully I have at least 10 more years of writing inside me that I can share.
***Please note that Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is on Monday, January 17, 2021 in the United States. He is my favorite historical person and stood for truth. I hope people who truly care about the state of the world, especially as we in the United States transition to a new presidential administration, will work towards a more equal and just society for all.***
