1. How To Meditate Properly - Discover 7 Tips You Never
Heard Before
2. One of the things that meditation does is to silence your
sentient mind. This in turn allows you to discard
anxiety, stress and depression that may come as a result
of work, marriage or school. This is achieved by
augmenting your psychological, physiological and
expressive energy.In a nutshell, learning how to
meditate properly will increase your general health and
elevate your self-assurance as it provides you with the
skills required to be content, centered and calm in spite
of the difficult situations facing you.
3. The simplest means through which you can acquire the
art of meditation is through listening to binaural
rhythms. Binaural rhythms utilize different frequencies
which aid in altering brain waves, hence promoting
relaxation. These strokes or cyclical beats are sometimes
applied in treating bodily revitalization and sleep
disorders since they assist in silencing the conscious
mind with relative ease.Meditation can also be achieved
through focused breathing. Focused breathing is a
popular technique applied during yoga practice as it aids
in not only silencing the insomniac mind, but creating
inner peace. Whereas this technique is widely regarded
as a stand-alone method, it can still be used
5. Clear your area of all possible distractions. This means
turning off your cell phone, shutting off the
television, and closing windows so passing traffic
doesn't interrupt you. Closing off distractions may mean
that you must tell others in the home that you are in
need of private time and that they must remain quiet.
While the ideal situation is an empty house, this is
sometimes impossible; enforcing boundaries is the best
approach.
6. Focus on lighting when you prepare your space. Natural
light is wonderful, but in some positions natural light
may distract you even with closed eyes. Similarly, overly
bright artificial lights are disruptive. Seek out these
sneaky distractions before meditation.Once your space
is properly prepared, take your desired position and
close your eyes. Begin breathing deeply, focusing on the
cyclical feeling of air entering and leaving your body.
7. Empty your mind. This sounds simple and yet takes
practice. The daily worries we carry mentally and
physically weight us down and often refuse to leave
when we want to relax. The deep breathing will help
retrain your focus to meditation and away from those
worries, though it might take a while until the practice
becomes regular.From this point meditation can become
more subjective and personally tailored to you. Some
religions have their own meditative guides that involve
gripping prayer beads and reciting special texts. If this is
your orientation, then work with these meditative
practices.
8. A more general way to meditate is to reach a state
where you are only somewhat aware of your physical
surroundings. This means that you are instead focused
on bringing your body and mind into harmony. You can
utilize visualizations that calm you, such as wandering
through a field or sitting next to a waterfall and listening
to the rhythm of the water.Your own preferences will
determine how long a meditation session will last.
Attempt to bring yourself out of it with a soothing
spoken message to yourself as a signal. Open your eyes
and focus on deep breathing for a few minutes before
getting up.
9. Why Meditate? What are the Benefits? Meditation has
many benefits. Your mind, body, and soul are connected.
A change in one will affect the other. Meditation will
help clear your mind of useless thoughts and clutter. You
will find you will have a more sense of clarity as you go
about your daily activities. You will also find you will feel
more grounded in this world and more calm. Meditation
also helps you become happier and loving. All the
negative emotions you attach to things that have
happened in the past and all the negative emotions you
attach to potential things that could happen in the
future are decreased, and sometimes completely
eliminated. Meditation teaches you to detach from
10. your thoughts, so naturally you will detach from
stressful thoughts. A decrease in stress will help with
stress related illness such as heart disease and high
blood pressure.
11. Beyond all the benefits listed above, meditation is a
time for your to relax simply just be. It is time for you to
appreciate yourself, life, and embrace a higher
being.Anyone can do and benefit from meditation. You
do not have to be religious or have a god to benefit from
meditation. Meditation is for anyone who wants to live
a better and more stress free life.How To Meditate
Properly? Easy steps for how to meditate properly.You
will want to find a quiet and comfortable place to sit
down. You can sit down anywhere, on the floor or on
the chair. Your back must be straight. People say you
shouldn't lie down because it's an easy way to fall
asleep. If you can get away with it then you can lie
13. Third, relax yourself by starting to lighten the muscles of
your forehead then your eyebrows, your cheeks, your
mouth, your jaw and your entire face and head. Then
continue relaxing your muscles on your shoulders, your
arms, feel your back lighten, release the tension felt by
your thighs and legs then let the aches and pains flow
out. Remember not to allow inner chattering or chanting
of mantras as this will lead to formation of thoughts.
Your goal is to block thoughts from forming. This step
may be difficult especially for beginners but as you
constantly meditate you will observe that it will become
easier.
14. Now the fourth step is important especially when
thoughts start to come in. All you have to consider
is, "focus on your breathing". This will divert your
attention and block incoming thoughts. Breathe in and
breathe out, do not control your breathing instead just
observe it. Let the normal process of inhalation and
exhalation occur. Observation is the key nature of the
mind so just focus and observe your breathing.Then as
you progress thoughts will eventually diminish and
breathing will become thinner and shorter leading to the
fifth step. As soon as breathing becomes the smallest it
will send a flash in between your eyebrows which will
signify a meditated state. During this state you will
15. have no thought and no breathing and it is during this
state that the cosmic energy flows into your energy
body. The more often you meditate the more abundant
cosmic energy flows into you.After meditation you
would feel a lot lighter and relaxed as your mind had
been released from thoughts and emotions causing you
tension and stress. So never deprive yourself of proper
meditation because a healthy body starts from a healthy
mind.
