The Magic of Meditation
Meditation is a profound form of relaxation that helps us to contact our inner spiritual source.
Learning to Meditate
A few simple points to remember before you begin:
Wear Loose clothing.
Dim the lights
Put on some soft background music
Use candles
Use room fragrance, such as incense.
Your First Meditation
Sit Quietly:- Make sure that you are comfortable and will not be interrupted. Take three deep breaths, exhaling fully, then breathe in your natural rhythm. Feel yourself begin to relax. Allow passing thoughts to drift away without paying attention to them.
Focus On Your Breath:- Become aware of your breath as you breathe in and out. As you breathe in, imagine that you are becoming filled with a sensation of light and peace. As you breathe out, allow any tension and anxiety to melt away with the exhalation.
Flow With Your Breath:- Follow the rhythm of your breath as it flows gently and regularly. Feel yourself becoming increasingly relaxed and peaceful. Become aware of your breath as the life-force that sustains you, relaxes you and energizes you. Ignore any distractions that come into your mind, and you will find that it becomes easy to sit and concentrate on your breathing.
Find A Special Word:- Now repeat a word that has significance for you. For example 'peace', 'love', 'harmony', 'healing', or 'gentleness'. repeat your word inwardly with both the in-breath and the out-breath. You will feel the emotion associated with that word becoming infused into your being.
Ending Your Meditation:- After a minute or two, return your full attention to your breathing. Take three deep breaths, then bring your attention back to your body and your surroundings. Wriggle your fingers and toes, stretch a little, then slowly open your eyes and take in your surroundings.
Enjoy The Benefits:- Sit quietly for a few moments, to accustom yourself to your everyday state of awareness. Put some music on if you wish. Give yourself some time to enjoy the feeling of calmness before returning to your daily activities.
