In this video Jevon Dangeli guides you through one of the basic lying down jumi meditations.
The meditation can be extended to any length of time, depending on how long you would like to meditate for.
While the lying down meditation can serve as an effective meditation method by itself, it also forms part of the jumi ground sequence and combination sequence.
Variations:
There are seven specific directions in which awareness can expand when using the jumi meditations and breathing techniques. Depending on how one is positioned, i.e. sitting or standing upright, lying on the back, lying on the belly, or even while doing a headstand (for adventurous people), the characteristics and associated phenomena of each direction can vary. For example, in the jumi basic lying down meditation the past is represented below the feet and the future above the ahead, which is different from how these characteristics are described in the upright examples on the Jumi Tree Breathing technique page.
Practicing the full jumi sequence promotes:
- agility
- healing
- confidence
- mindfulness
- core strength
- concentration
- emotion regulation
- healthy self-esteem
- mind-body awareness
- performance enhancement
The core objective of jumi is to develop open awareness (embodied mindfulness) and the ability to maintain it in all types of situations.
