Meditation: Strengthens, Focuses the Mind

Mrs Janita Hargoven prepares to get into position by sitting in an erect posture with her legs crossed. Her hands rest on her upper thighs, while her two fingers, the index and thumb, are firmly locked together.

She takes a long, deep breath and maintains the position with her eyes shut and then after what seems like a “brief” 30 minutes, she opens her eyes.
“I feel relaxed,” she said. “It is a unique feeling of tranquillity, bliss and purity and it also helps me delve into my inner being and attain inward contentment.”
Mrs Harvogen, who is the instructor at Brahma Kumaris Meditation School in Harare’s Milton Park suburb, said the posture, known as the Lotus position in medidation or yoga, has the effect of strengthening and focusing the mind.
“When you are in this posture, all seven auras available to a human being are aligned,” she said. (More)
