Find a serene place and sit in a garden or on a rock on the banks of a flowing stream or on an overlook spot with views of the vast valley around. Try to connect with the nature. You will feel that the energy and positive vibrations of the mother earth rejuvenate your mind just like refreshing rainwater that fills up the parched patches of land during dry hot summers.

You will feel the true fragrance of tranquility spreading around like a refreshing rain of bliss.  Always remember, this life is a gift of God. You ought to keep it in a blessed state and for that meditation on a mountain is one of the best ways.

Meditation and Mountains

The connection between mountains and meditation may not seem directly apparent, but is in fact close, largely due to the presence of the strong roots of Vedic culture in the Himalayas and Kailash. Mount Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva; the mountains are the permanent home to various forms of Goddess Durga as well. Mountains are the great sources of energy and bliss. Anyone can benefit from meditation at these places.

How You Feel Like a Mountain?

When you visit a mountain, sit on a rock in a relaxed position. Let your body and mind be in a balanced state. Keep away all the tension and stress. Close your eyes and focus on your breath as it flows in and out. Observe your breath for one minute and then open your eyes. Look around and become aware of the surroundings. Feel its magnificence and strength, its peaks touching the sky and the base deeply rooted in the earth.

When you mediate like this while focusing on your breath, you become a part of the mountain- stable, ageless, and powerful. Now you become aware of your true self which is, just like a mountain- untiring through time. Feel within the same strength and stillness despite all the deviations and tough challenges life throws your way.

Make this feeling the essence of your personality. Remain the same powerful person through all the ups and downs, the chaos, and the calmness; stand like a mountain that stands strong despite any avalanche and constantly changing weather.

So, plan a trip to the mountains and be inspired by their natural magnificence, divinity, and versatility. Consider spending some time there in meditation, rejuvenate yourself, reconnect with the universal energy constantly flowing thru the majestic mountains and learn from them to stay strong amid the constant changes of the outer world. Meditation and mountains teach us a valuable lesson of empowerment and silence. Admire the mountains across the world and be inspired by them.
