Above all, hatha yoga serves as a preparation for meditation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meditation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be able to meditate, means in the beginning that you let go of mental tension and worries. In our teaching, we move through the different levels of the mind, reaching what we can call real meditation. This is fundamentally different from trance, \u2018positive thinking\u2019 or hypnosis (often called \u2018healing\u2019 or \u2018mental training\u2019), where you manipulate the mind and limit it to your own or other\u2019s conceptions. Real meditation is founded on clarity, expanded awareness and increased energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Yoga <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nada Yoga is about sounds. It is the knowledge of the quality of sounds and the way they affect people. There are coarse sounds and fine sounds.
