How to Meditate

Meditation can do your body and mind a great deal of good.  It can increase your energy, lift your spirits, help you focus, and improve your sense of well-being.

Basically what meditation is that you are focusing 100% of your energy on one particular area.  Many people who teach advanced mediation will tell you that you have to focus on nothing but if you are just starting out, you need to start out by focusing on something.

The first thing you will want to have is complete silence.  You want your mediation area as serene as possible.  So turn off the TV and the phones.  In order to work at focusing, you will need to devote your full attention with no interruptions.  Do not go into this mediation thing thinking it is just a one day thing.  You are dead wrong.

Mediation is a lifelong process that takes full commitment from you.  When you are first starting out, you need to set aside a time each day to do your mediation.  At first it is recommended that you mediate twice a day for 15 minutes each session.

Again it must be that you need time of devotoion where you will not have distractions.  You don’t want to have to worry about the phone ringing or the baby waking up from its nap.

Some people find it easier to listen to instructional tapes or CD’s during their session.  Thais may be a big help if you are just starting out in the meditation process.  You can also listen to nature or peaceful CD’s if you prefer.  After you have your CD playing, it is time to do some stretches. It is very important to stretch ahead if time because your muscles and body need to loosen up.

Now you need to start your breathing exercises.  Taking deep breathes and slowly exhaling will show your heart muscles and focus your mind.  It is recommended for beginners that you close your eyes and that a candle is lit in the room for peace and serenity.  You may get frustrate while you are going through your course of meditation.  You may ask yourself why you are breathing a lot.  Why are you focusing so hard?  And you may have other question as well.  But truest me they will all be answered in the end.  You will need to focus harder to get those negatives thoughts out of your mind.
