What is Meditation?
Meditation is simply calming and stilling the mind, achieving peace and relaxation. You can meditate in anyway whether it’s standing up, sitting down, lying down, walking, or whatever you want really. You can have your eyes open or shut (don’t shut them if you’re walking, might bump into something). Either way you do it you are still calming the mind and relaxing even if it means you are deep in thought to help you relax or not thinking about anything at all! Some people say that meditation charges and re-charges them, think about it, after a long hard day you are totally and utterly shattered! Meditating could help, simply sit there and relax your mind, you may even feel yourself being filled with the energy already, however sometimes you will only notice the effect it has later on. It can stop you feeling tired or confused and lost. Meditation is a good way to just ‘have a break’, relax and escape from the real world for a while, it will benefit you undoubtedly. Ever been so stressed or confused that you can’t even think!? Well meditating will give you a chance to step back and take a look at everything from another point of view, imagine the normal stressful world having a blue bubble round it, when meditating you can sit outside that bubble and think more clearly about all that is important in your life. Meditation is a comfortable and healthy way to help you to focus and achieve in life.
Basic Breathing Exercise
Lie or sit down comfortably. Breathe in and hold for five seconds. Breathe out and hold for five seconds. Repeat this for about 5 to 10 minutes. Focus on the warm air entering your body. Don’t try and move it just notice it and see what it does. Not this down and do the meditation morning and night. Do it for a few days and notice any changes from the first and the most recent.
Positive Emotion Meditation Exercise
This meditation will benefit you if you are having a tough time and are full with emotions such as anger, hate, depression, stress etc. This meditation can be done lying down or sitting down or standing up. If you are lying down keep your legs relaxed arms by your side and body relaxed. If you are sitting down your legs relaxed cross if you feel its better. If you are standing arms behind your back one hand holding the other, legs shoulder length apart.
Control your breathing but keep it so you can relax. Keep it controlled. When you inhale think of good thoughts happy thoughts and visualise them as white smoke. When you exhale breath out bad thoughts and emotions and visualise them as black smoke. When you feel at peace and happy, visualise every inhale and exhale as water. Focus on it flowing through you in and out.
When you open your eyes don’t make to strong movements. Let your body gradually get use to taking strong movements. Meditations relaxes your body, if you make to strong movements it’s too big of a change in your body. Take it easy. Don’t do this meditation for longer than 25 minutes.
