Meditation has been practiced around the world for

thousands of years.

It is a technique used to quiet the mind and body, and release stress.

Meditation has also been known to inspire people to

write, and to spur lucrative business ideas, as your subconscious comes to light.

One simple form of meditation, requires you to sit in a quiet room, either on a pillow, or cross-legged on the floor, or in a comfortable chair, making sure your spine is straight.

Meditation




It is advised that you use the same place every day.

Personalize your spot, by beautifying it with candles, flowers, and pictures of the people that you love.

Personalize Your Spot




Sit quietly

With your eyes closed

Focus on a point inside of your forehead

Try not to think of anything in particular, but don't try 'not' to think either allowing your mind to become calm, and peaceful.

Practicing Meditation




If you find that your mind is 'chattering’, don't try to

control it, just let it finish what it is that it is working on, it will eventually quiet down

Beginners: begin with ten to twenty minute sessions, each day

After awhile of doing this, you will start to feel deep relaxation and joy during these sessions.

Practicing Meditation




Sit in a quiet, comfortable spot facing a wall about

eight feet away from you

Pick a spot or object on that wall; this is your focal point

Begin counting backwards from 100, one number for each breath you exhale

Steps to Self-hypnosis




Imagine yourself floating, and feeling very relaxed

Let your eyes slowly close

Imagine yourself as limp as a ragdoll, totally relaxed

Stop counting, and just float in your space


This technique can help you to cope with stress, and

discharge the tension that accumulates during stressful situations

First, count one, and get yourself ready to exit.

Two, take a deep breath, and hold for a few seconds.

Three, exhale and open your eyes slowly. As you open your eyes, continue to hold on to that relaxed and comfortable feeling.


You may then want to increase the length of your

sessions to thirty minutes, or maybe even an hour.

It is imperative that we include a brief time for meditation in our daily schedule.
