7 Tips For Better Meditation by Cucan
Pemo
Meditation is an intensely personal and, for some people,
private experience. It is a complete and total relaxation
technique and some may need unique circumstances to help bring
upon that level of rest.
For most people, however, there are basic guidelines to follow
to get the most out of your meditation sessions. Here is a
helpful list you can follow the next time you have a meditation
session.
· Meditation is inexorably tied to your body. If you don’t feel
confident and happy with the current state of your body, you
will have a very hard time relaxing properly. This applies to
all aspects of your body. If you are planning on meditating
later that day, try to eat extra healthy that day so when you
go to meditate, you know that you’ve made healthy choices that
day.
If you feel much better about your body after a shower or bath,
take one before you go to meditate. Try not to eat right before
you meditate, but you can eat right earlier in the day. If you
feel better after stretching, do that before you meditate. Any
easy to implement practice that helps put you more at ease and
in a relaxing frame of mind is a good idea before you
meditate.
· Just as you should prepare your body for meditation, you
should also prepare your mind. You should look forward to
meditation, so that when the time comes, you’re ready for it
and in the right frame of mind. Try to lock yourself away the
best you can. If you can’t get away from a phone or guests, try
turning your phone off and going in another room away from
people.
If you have a nagging chore you need to do, finish it before
you even consider meditating. You must have as clear of a mind
as possible before you even consider sitting down to
meditate.
· One of the ways that many people chose to set their mind at
ease is with music. Music can be the best mood setter out
there, so if you need a little extra help finding the right
mood for your meditation, put on a favorite song or a song that
you feel is empowering or makes you feel self confident. Get
lost in the words or the beat and use it to help slide yourself
into a meditative state. There is nothing wrong with using a
bit of help if you need it and music is one of the best sources
for that.
· You should make sure that your posture is good during
meditation. While that may sound a bit odd, you need to make
sure your back is straight and your legs crossed. If you can
make it into a lotus position or the half lotus position,
you’ll be in great shape. A straight back and proper posture
will help your body achieve a deeper and more meaningful state
of meditation.
· Follow the experts. People have been refining the art of
meditation for millennia and your meditation instructor has
likely learned from experts and passed that knowledge on to
you. While a small amount of freelancing is fine, you should
stick with the original lesson as much as possible. The methods
taught are like that for a reason and they have been proven to
achieve the highest levels of meditative bliss. While it may be
tempting to do your own thing, you should place your trust in
your teacher and use the examples he or she taught you.
· Meditation is habit forming. If you begin meditation and
you’re serious about making it part of your life, it will be
most beneficial to you if you make it a regular part of your
life. You won’t experience the true benefit if you only do it
once in a while. Practice does in fact make perfect in this
instance and the more regular your meditation sessions are, the
more you’ll enjoy it and the better you’ll feel.
· Patience is key. By introducing meditation into your life,
you’ve taken a single step along a path of enlightenment and
inner peace. It is a long journey, however. If you don’t feel
like you’re getting the results you’re after once a week or a
month has passed, be patient. There are people who spend a
lifetime meditating who only reach what they are looking for
after decades of practice. Stick with it and you’re sure to
achieve your goal.
Meditation is a beautiful and wonderful practice that millions
of people take part in every day around the world. It does,
however, take years of meditation to truly see results and
while that can be frustrating to some people, it is those with
the foresight to stick with it that are rewarded in the end.
