Do YOGA SAMADHI every day on a regular basis. The first week is just 10 minutes. Next week increase to 20 minutes. Keep doing that until we can YOGA SAMADHI between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
1. PRATYAHARA – trying to “hold” the object.
At first, make the tip of the nose as a place to observe the entry and exit of the breath. Try really to concentrate, but stay relaxed. If we are serious, the average for the average person within 3 months of this first stage will pass. We can already concentrate well, the object is clear and has been caught well.
2. DHARANA – “holds” the object well.
If every time we do YOGA SAMADHI the object can be grasped properly, it means that our concentration power has been formed. Don't be distracted by whatever arises, always return to concentration on the meditation object [in and out of breath] well.
3. DHYANA – entering meditation.
If
we have been able to "hold" the object of YOGA SAMADHI well, then the
"energy channels" in our body will begin to open and develop. This is the stage of entering YOGA SAMADHI. Everyone
will experience different experiences, there are also those who don't
seem to experience this but go straight to stage 4 [savikalpa samadhi].
For those who experience, the sensation varies. Some
saw a small blue light, some saw light from the sky pierced through
their bodies, some saw beautiful colorful lights, some felt light to the
point of flying, some felt lifted from their seats, some felt their
bodies enlarge or vice versa his body shrinks, etc.
There are also those who [sometimes, rarely] receive such as wangsit or orders through the incoming voice. Be careful here, especially if we don't have a guiding teacher, because it might be the voice of lower beings. So if we hear any sound, just ignore it and go back to the object of meditation. Because we don't want to be shamans or psychics.
In all these incidents we have absolutely nothing to fear, just be aware and come back to the object. Often beginners who do not understand feel afraid and do not dare to meditate anymore. In fact, this is the progress of meditation that the true yogi will experience.
4. SAMPRAJNATA SAMADHI.
Some
yogis don't seem to have experienced the third stage [because for them
it is very, very short], but go straight to this 4th stage. The reason is because the condition of the mind and the condition of the subtle body of each person is different.
At this stage comes a very bright light [but cool, not dazzling], all we see is light. We will be at the peak of great happiness-peace. Not like the pleasures of worldly lust, but a form of extraordinary peace that is difficult to describe. Usually lasts only about 1-3 seconds, then we are aware of the meditation. After this our mind is very relaxed, light as cotton. We feel very peaceful and happy. There is no more burden, no suffering, the mind is completely free as if in Svarga Loka. This is the 4th stage, or samprajnata samadhi that we are experiencing.
The mind that has been invited to practice meditation diligently will cleanse the inner darkness. When our mind is clean, it is light as cotton, it is peaceful and happy. No more negative burdens. All sad ripu [inner darkness] is no more and we are truly free to escape. It's been a long time.
If we don't stop here and continue YOGA SAMADHI, we will enter the 5th stage, namely Asamprajnata Samadhi.
5. ASAMPRAJNATA SAMADHI.
Like
enjoying a very beautiful sight, at first we are fascinated and amazed
[stage 3], after that there arises peace-happiness [stage 4].
After these two processes the mind begins to return to normal and equanimity, this is upeksha. At this stage of upeksha, the mind is completely SILENT. No more turmoil. Like sea water, there are no more ripples. The mind is truly equanimous. And
between the subject and the object are already one, it can no longer be
distinguished which is the subject and which is the object. The breath is me, I am the breath. Asamprajnata Samadhi.

MEDITATION PRACTICE IN 5 MINUTES
Meditation can make a difference in your life. When our life is full of stress, we can turn to meditation for a while to clear our mind again and enter into a peaceful mind.
Why do we need meditation? The world is full of anxiety, worry & frustration. Various negative energies are around us, especially various news on tv, newspapers, magazines that penetrate our fear realm. Meditation can take us to a peaceful place in the mind. Meditation can satisfy our soul's hunger for peace.
When meditation requires calm. We need to clear the mind for a moment to release a part of the soul for a moment to reach some level of peace.
What is meditation? Meditation is a communication with the universe. Is meditation the same as praying? For many people it may be, but for others meditation is just a step to find peace in the soul. But meditation and prayer are not mutually exclusive.
Make a schedule when you will meditate. Maybe you can start with 5 minutes of meditation in the morning before you start a job. Prepare
everything the afternoon before so that when you start meditation in
the morning, your mind is not busy with all the preparations for work.
You can prepare fragrant incense / incense / incense.
Prepare yourself. Relax & calm. Light incense/ incense. Take a deep breath & let the fresh air enter your soul. Blow away all your negative thoughts & worries.

can start by being grateful for all the blessings starting a new day
and perceiving all the positive aspects of the universe, LOVE, PEACE,
WISDOM, PEACE, FORGIVENESS.
Fragrant
incense/ hio symbolizes purification when you inhale the positive
breath that enters the body and releases negative energy.

Apan sahana-hananikan prayoga pinakesti sira juga tedun.Ndah mogha mawaka rikan angego smreti tekasuna wara, kahidep. Tan wruh yadi sirahana rin swabhawa tinelen milu manelenaken. Nir sadhana sira maka sadhanen hayusadanilib in anen'anen.
Because
the purpose of all 'yoga' is (so that) He descends (from heaven), (they
say) suddenly He will come to bestow grace and the person who is
meditating, without knowing it, unite with that which is the center of
the purpose of meditation. that (God), and He meditates. Indeed,
He does not need conditions (Nirsadhana so that He can descend from
heaven), but indeed He is the condition to happiness and He is hidden in
the meditation itself.without knowing it, unite with that which is the center of the purpose of meditation. that (God), and He meditates. Indeed, He does not need any conditions (Nirsadhana so that He can descend from heaven),
