There are big advantages to those who meditate... everything
from improved health, increased happiness, and greater prosperity. In
addition to these perks, people who meditate also find themselves
surrounded with happy coincidences and delightful synchronicities. Things
just seem to go their way.
Is there a "right" way to
meditate?
A concerned reader recently wrote to me, asking if I could
please describe the best way to go about meditating properly.
I replied by saying there are so many ways to meditate, I
hesitate to recommend one. Some people meditate while walking, others
while gardening, some while listening to music... some while paying
attention to their breathing and clearing their minds of all thoughts.
Those are just a few techniques. Once you know what kind of meditator you
are, you can zero in on a method that works well for you!
Here's a quick way to zero in on your best meditation technique. First
choose a favorite physically relaxing activity, and then select a favorite
mental focus. When you combine these two, you'll have a customized
meditation technique that's exactly right for you!
To get started, all you need to do is answer two questions:
(1) One of my favorite ways to
relax is to:
Listen to music
Work in the garden
Close my eyes and breathe deeply
Watch clouds go by
Take a hot bath
Go for a walk
Simply doing whatever activity you find most relaxing is a
form of meditation! There are more advanced techniques in which you can
pay attention to your breathing and/or your thoughts... but the most
important starting place is picking what sort of meditator you are.
People who enjoy walking can develop their own form of walking meditation.
Some people count their breaths as they walk, others simply let go of their
worries with each deep breath, and still others observer their thoughts go
by without pursuing them. What sort of mental focus appeals to you?
Letting go of all thoughts
Breathing
Observing the patterns of thoughts
Feeling energy flowing through my body
Whatever mental focus most appeals to you is the one to try.
This is really all there is to it... just combine one of your most relaxing
activities with one of your most relaxing mental focuses, and you are
meditating!
If you try one meditation and find you don't like it, then try another one.
You will find something you like, so don't give up!
You can see what a difference meditation makes by measuring your energy
field before and after meditation, by dowsing
your energy field.
