Mountains, reflecting an archetype in any culture, can teach us a lot in meditation. Mountains are sacred places. In the mountains, surrounded by mountains, a person sought to find spiritual guidance and renewal. The mountain is a symbol of the axis of the world, the abode of the Gods. Mountains are the most accurate symbol of unchanging presence and peace.
Any pose is allowed. You can sit cross-legged on the floor so that your whole body looks and feels like a mountain. Being at this time in the mountains or near the mountains is useful, but not at all necessary, because the source of strength here is the inner image.
And now your head - the majestic peak, shoulders and arms - mountain slopes, hips and legs - the reliable foundation of the mountain - grow into the floor, pillow or chair. You become a breathing mountain, quiescent and still.
By holding this image in mind, we gain the ability to become the embodiment of unshakable peace and reliability in the face of the changes that occur in our lives every second, every hour, year after year. Like a mountain during meditation, we gain access to its strength and stability and assimilate these qualities.
The power of the mountain will strengthen our desire to meet every moment of our lives consciously, balanced and understanding, it will help us to see that our thoughts and feelings, daily worries, emotional outbursts and breakdowns, like everything that happens to us, are akin only to the weather in the mountains. We learn to hear the inner harmony of the world and, under any circumstances, remain in the center of the cyclone.
