Your Easy Meditation "How To" Guide

Meditation is magical. It's pure bliss. Just ask anyone who has learned
how to meditate and uses it in their daily routine. If you haven't yet
discovered the valuable benefits for yourself, this "meditation how
to" article is for you. It's a simple step-by-step formula to help you
get started today.

1. Find peace and quiet. To find that peace within through meditation
means you need a quiet place to enjoy the process. You want a peaceful
environment free from excessive noise over the next 15 to 20 minutes.

If you can hear neighbourhood kids playing... dogs barking... and
traffic flowing by.... you need a better location. The more peaceful, calm
and serene your environment, the easier it is to relax on a deeper level
and get the full benefit of meditation.

Your meditative environment could be indoors or outdoors. Whatever you
decide on, try to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and
the nonstop chatter that goes on externally and even internally on a
continuous basis.

Now that you found a location, the next step of your 'meditation how
to' is to get comfortable. Wear loose fitting clothing, something that
you're totally at ease in.

So if you're wearing a shirt and tie with jacket for example, you want
to remove the jacket and take off the tie and possibly loosen your
shirt and roll up the sleeves. Maximum comfort is important here because
anything less will distract you at some point and draw your focus away
from the peace and tranquility of a powerful meditation.

It's also important to find a reasonably comfortable chair. All you
need is 15 to 20 minutes for a highly-charged meditation session, although
shorter or longer sessions can be helpful too. But for those 15
minutes, it's important to experience as much comfort and bliss as possible.

Now it's time to move this 'meditation how to' into action by assuming
the position. Take a seat, keeping your back straight and upright.
Relax your body and allow it to be at ease as much as possible.

Some people prefer to lie down, while others (usually life-long
meditation enthusiasts) like to sit on a cushion on the floor. Whatever works
best for you is the way to go. But a word of caution is necessary here.
If you tend to fall asleep while you're lying in a horizontal
position, sit up instead. You want to get deeply relaxed while still remaining
awake during your session. Falling asleep defeats the purpose.

Now just sit back and relax. It's vital to relax as much as possible
during meditation. Close your eyes and breathe in slowly. Take in plenty
of oxygen as you inhale. And as you exhale, release every thought that
you're holding onto. Just let them go. Let go of any tension in your
body. Simply focus on your breathing. Continue to take long, slow, deep
breaths -- in and out -- in a consistent and relaxed pattern.

Strive to reach a deeper level of relaxation with each meditation. Aim
at complete peace where a feeling of pure bliss envelops you. Your
mission is to experience complete freedom -- mentally, physically and
spiritually. You want to be free of any thoughts or resistance of any kind.

As you notice thoughts entering your mind, gently let them go. Don't
dwell on any thought. Don't energize it by thinking about it even for a
moment. Simply let the thought go and don't think about it anymore. Get
back to the moment and enjoy the pleasurable state of freedom and
bliss.

Focus on your breathing. Breathing is a key meditation how to tip.
Deep, slow, methodical breaths are what enable you to completely relax.

Deep breathing is a wonderful tool that can be used anytime. Whenever
you're stressed, simply take a few deep breaths. Instantly, you'll feel
better, lighter, and less-burdened by negative thoughts. Deep breathing
has a way of calming the mind, while energizing the body with oxygen.

But there's another great benefit of deep breathing during meditation;
it gives you something to focus on. For most of our waking hours, we
tend to be thinking about so many different things that to suddenly think
of "nothing" is challenging. It's a difficult task for most people the
first time they try to quiet their mind.

Naturally, the tendency is to focus on something the mind is used to.
So it gravitates towards anything it can get hold of. Give your mind
something to focus on -- breathing.

Quiet the mind. While meditating, you don't have to accomplish
something or get anything done. Just be here now. Live in the moment and enjoy
the peace and serenity.

Simply relax. There's no need to work on your aspirations. Initially at
least, you want to be free of any thoughts. As you reach that level,
you may then choose to turn your meditation into creative visualization.
That's where you use your imagination to get a mental picture of a
specific goal.

But your initial purpose at least is to become "thought free". It's the
ultimate freedom. Striving for this target raises your vibration.
You'll enjoy feeling lighter, more energized and more alive. It puts you
back into the flow of life where you begin to attract more of what you
want. Follow this 'meditation how to' advice today and you'll want to
practice it again and again.
