Anyway, using body movements to release the tension of the body/mind is an absolute ‘must’ for many people these days, as we tend to be bombarded by and absorb so much information that the body itself needs to release this in order to be not only happy in stillness but also willing and able to let its energy participate creatively in anything we might want to do. Take notice to the times where your desire to continue to meditate begin to wane. These are the times when you need meditation the most! If you find that it’s getting difficult for you to continue meditating, chances are, you’re having difficulties focusing on the benefits of meditating. And guess what’s a great remedy for lack of focus?
On a continuous basis, you must strive for excellence in every area of your life, while still getting the rest and recreation you need to survive, to truly enjoy that life. And by making time in your busy schedule for yoga and meditation, you will approach every life situation with a clear, relaxed mind and rejuvenated psyche. Many people say that in order to meditate properly, you need to empty your mind of all thought. While this may sound good when the instructions are given, many depressed individuals will simply gravitate to unhappy or disturbing thoughts. Instead of emptying your mind of all thought, concentrate on something that is either relaxing or upbuilding, allowing it to force all other thoughts out of your mind.
You are becoming aware of your inner loving feelings in the vicinity of your heart – perhaps a warm feeling, or a glow, a colour, vibration, or sound. Above your head is an enormous vibrant light source, which if you wish, you may perceive as the light and love of God, or a universal energy, shining down strongly but gently intermingling with your own inner love. I personally love lying down when I do the work. I find it more relaxing, and am able to let go of the thoughts more easily. However, I suggest avoiding the bed or the couch. A mat on the floor is better for the body, and allows for perfect chakra alignment. When affirming, or visualizing, or using other techniques, the bed or couch is fine.
When you meditate, you have to learn a certain, predetermined set of Buddhist meditation techniques. These include physical positions, breathing techniques, Buddhist-based theories, and specific means of visualization and relaxation. These different techniques vary greatly in terms of difficulty, time requirements, desired and produced effects, etc. In addition, attendance at a Buddhist meditation retreat is in essence a form of insurance. You will be surrounded by a group of teachers and practitioners who share your commitment to the meditative process. These are dedicated, disciplined people who inspire you to stay the course. They will not allow you to stray from the precepts that are so very vital to the cause of successful meditation.
There is no reason other than mankind resists all the signs and hints and messages that are being made available to us in this particular time on the planet. Perhaps you believe this can even be true, somewhere deep inside.
