Meditation How To
|
The first step to correct meditation is an upright posture. Sitting cross legged with your back straight but not tensed is the proper way to sit. Then place your right hand in your left four finger widths below the navel, thumbs slightly raised. The thumbs are to touch. The tongue should be touching the roof of the mouth to stop dryness. Your head should be looking downward and eyes should be a touch open. Finally, your shoulders should be level with your elbows. This is the proper position to sit in when you meditate. Getting it right will help you to focus, though it could take a little time to get used to. After learning your correct meditation posture, simple meditation can start. When first beginning to meditate, concentrate on your breathing. Keep your breaths steady as you breathe and exhale. For stress relief, every time a breath is drawn outward image all the negativity and negative feelings you have are being drawn out of you. When a breath comes in, imagine all the positive things and blessings coming to you. Focusing on exhaling the bad and in the good will help you to start feeling peaceful and your consciousness will grow quiet. When the art of breathing, concentration, and posture have been mastered, adding some meditation music could be a great way to help keep your bad thought in check, relaxing you, and helping you to join with positive thoughts that will help you to find inner peace and to coach yourself the way to be positive through any situation. Meditation and the power of thoughts will help you to make your life a more positive environment which will make you more able to see what you have, set targets, and be thankful. Meditation is a great thing. It can be relaxing, insightful, and help us to think positive thoughts that will bring inner peace and contentment. By practicing proper posture, learning how to breathe, and finding the proper music, then learning to channel negative feelings away, positive meditation can being and you may find just how wonderful meditation can be.
