Slowly, meditation is detaching from its image that it is a strange spiritual custom practice by ascetics and monks in Asia. Some famous people and personalities who meditate include Gwyneth Paltrow, Rivers Cuomo, and David Lynch. Meditation helped military veterans deal with their post-traumatic stress disorder. An increasing number of research shows that meditation has a noticeable effect on human’s brain that promotes different types of health and wellness. People who are interested may need to overcome the hurdles of meditation such as the perception that it is hard, painful, time-consuming and complicated – and religious.

Even though there are many types of meditation – from mindful meditation to Zen meditation – health professionals agree that a beginner should not mind struggling with them. Meditation is easy and simple, even beginners can do it and everyone can benefit from it.

Find some free time in a calm and quiet place as you can at least 20 minutes or more. Meditating with interruptions from your gadgets and computers will not really work. Some traditions use the physical position lotus position or also known as Indian sit. In Sanskit, this is known as mudras – the famous sitting position in the ground. If you are not comfortable with this sitting position, you can sit on a chair instead. Do not just sit but try as much as possible to do something. Don’t start immediately with meditation but let your body and mind settle first before starting. Life is already stressful as it is, do not add stress by doing meditation in a hurry. Try to pick something and gently draw your attention into it. It can be an image – mental or physical – or your breathing which works easy and natural. You can meditate with eyes closed or open, whichever works for you. A mantra may also aid you during meditation. It is a voice or sound that you build in your mind. When your mind starts to wander, slowly go back to the present condition. During your meditation, you will feel that your mind gets quieter than before.

Meditation is an easy technique. You do not have to worry about whether you are doing it right or wrong. That’s a wrong way to start your meditation. Avoid getting angry or frustrated with yourself and in your mind. If you need to stop your meditation, gently do it slowly. Do it smooth and not harsh. Enjoy first the state you built and do not forego of it as soon as possible. Repeat your meditation as needed. It will be very effective if done regularly. Do it always for a long period. It does not need to take many hours or every day. A 20-minute meditation is effective if done always.

Medication techniques for novice are not as hard as you imagine. It is a wonderful experience that will change your life in many ways. Meditation helps treat anxiety, stress and depression. It provides inner peace without the aid of chemicals and medical treatments. Binaural beats and sounds help beginners in their meditation. Focusing on your breathing is one if the simplest technique that you can master in meditation. All you have to do is base your breathing on the sound and feeling of your breath. Do it in a quiet place where do will not be distracted.

The best meditation technique for beginners is the binaural beats. It is the most effective method in going through a deep meditation as fast as possible is through binaural beats. These are sounds that affect the brain waves which are responsible for relaxation. Listen to these sounds to quickly enter into a meditative state fast. These techniques have become the most famous and most effective in removing frustration and struggle that are faced by people who meditates when meditating. Simply putting on an audio through headsets will help you to easily enter into a state of deep meditation, bliss and relaxation. Binaural beats are very effective and will only require you to sit and listen in a quiet place.

While meditation works for many individuals, the effects of this vary among each individual. Each person must just have to believe in what they are doing and have faith that it will do them good.

The First Step to Meditation

Grounding Meditation , ,

Article by Tameera Kemp

Left foot lift, left foot move forward, left foot down…

Right foot lift, right foot move forward, right foot down…

I was barefoot and dressed in white. My feet were touching the earth of a beautiful garden very slowly. If you saw me you might have thought I was recovering from injury, trying my best to walk again. I’m sure I could have been mistaken for an escapee from the hospital…

The first time I tried walking meditation, years ago at a Buddhist meditation retreat, I felt like a child learning to move her limbs in relation to space. I think the monks were smiling, trying not to laugh.

Truth be told, it took me a long while to incorporate mindful walking into my meditation practice. Instead of feeling the earth at the soles of my feet, my mind wandered off again and again. My thoughts drifted from month-old conversations to bizarre and completely unconnected parts of my life.

You’d think there’s no better place to learn meditation than a hilltop blanketed with lush green grounds, flowing rivers and a silence interrupted only by bird calls and swaying trees. “But my untamed mind won’t even let me walk straight back and forth.” I stopped when my legs grew heavier and sat on a cushion to relax.

Learning meditation can be frustrating and I can’t remember the exact reasons why I persevered. It certainly wasn’t just the benefits of regular meditation practice people told me about. I believe that once we try to begin meditating, we come face to face with the child within us, the child who didn’t doubt whether he or she would eventually walk or talk, read the alphabet or ride a bike. The child in us just does it and progresses naturally.

Trust your inner guide as you start your meditation practice and let things unfold in their own time. The aim is to be in the moment, what’s here, right now. Through learning to breathe, you can calm your mind and observe your thoughts. When you begin to meditate your wandering mind will be occupied with thoughts about the past and the future.

But gradually and slowly, through daily practice, meditation will help you realise that negative thought patterns distract you from fully living in the present. Living here, right now, is key to improving the quality of your thoughts and being in your flow.

Reiki :

Reiki healing is a system originating in Japan. The system of Reiki was developed and taught by Usui though we have adapted this system in the West and it now takes many forms. Essentially Reiki is a method by which natural energetic healing can be transferred from therapist to client. It is said that the Universal Healing Energy would use the therapist as a vessel through which the healing power of Reiki would be transmitted. However, it is clear that an advanced Reiki practitioner can do so much more than being a humble vessel. A Reiki Master might also be able to focus and direct healing energy to specific area of the clients body and even affect the outcome by their own intentions. This video shows only some of the many methods and techniques for self-treatment using the Reiki healing methods. For more information on Reiki and training courses that will teach you how to develop your skills as a Reiki practitioner please visit this link: www.therapytrainingschool.com There are usually 3 levels to learning Reiki. Namely: Level 1: Self-treatment Level 2: Delivering treatments for others Level 3: Reiki Masters level

Third Eye Meditation – Activation Meditation

Meditation Basics , ,

Third Eye Meditation – Activation Meditation

The 3rd eye chakra is our 6th chakra in the kundalini system. It is placed at the middle of our forehead right between the eyebrows. Stimulating meditation can help you activate your third eye and stimulate it, but first you want to learn some basic information about this chakra before practicing 3. eye meditation.

Basic Information

Colour: the colour of the 3. eye is purple. This can be a very useful information in your meditation so that you have a colour to imagine in your minds eye to help you connect with your third eye.

Sanskrit Name: Ajna

Characteristics: This specific chakra is one of the chakras that is not connected to our physical body and the earth. This chakra is connected to our spirituality and the spiritual world. It is also connected to our psychic skills, so if you find it interesting working with your spirituality and psychic powers, you probably want to learn more about this chakra.

Third Eye Activation Meditation

Choose a calm place to practice your third eye meditation without being interrupted. Turn of all the different electrical gadgets and select a comfortable meditation posture. Sit with your back straight, and take a moment to calm your mind and body.

Step 1
Close your eyes and take a couple of deep slow cleansing breathes in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Allow yourself to totally relax. Let the air cleanse your body from all the frustration from your body. Feel how you become more and more relaxed and calm with every cleansing breath.

Step 2
Now, continue to breathe slowly and deeply but turn your focus to your third eye chakra in the middle of your forehead. Visualize that you are inhaling and exhaling through your third eye chakra. Inhale purple energy into your energy body. Notice the tingling sensation of the air as it enters your body through this chakra. Feel the energy that fills your body and energizes you with new and positive energy. breathe out the air through your forehead as a drained transparent air empty of energy.

Step 3
Don’t force yourself to feel anything, but notice if you are feeling any strange sensation on your forehead such as a tingling sensation, which could mean that your chakra is being stimulated. Do this guided meditation for 20 minutes.

There are many other types of meditation techniques you can try to help you activate your third eye chakra. I suggest that you try some different techniques and see which ones give you the best results. But you have to be patient and allow the chakra to open little by little. If you rush your meditation or become impatient it can ruin your practice and you may not get the wanted results. So give it time and practice your meditation regularly so that it will become a part of your natural routine, which will make it feel like a habit and something you want to do instead of something you have to do.

But remember that this third eye is just one chakra of the seven different chakras in the chakra system, which are all just as important, so remember to also work on the rest of the system to create balance between the chakras.
