Mindfulness Meditation: Cheap Techniques to Beat Stress (But Less Than 10% Ever Do It)
One way to help you beat all of
this stress is to try mindfulness mediation. This will help you to make
yourself conscious of your higher self, which you will find to be very
peaceful. It can also help you to develop concentration and be more
accomplished. Your senses will be enhanced and you will immediately feel
your stress being relieved. Mediation is done in silence and with this
silence you will understand your inner senses, the well-being of peace,
and an inner sense of happiness.
Many people approach mediation
differently and many techniques vary. There are many differences in how
people mediate and also the benefits of the mediation. When you are a
beginner and are going to try mediation for the first time there are
three categories that you need to examine they are; mindfulness,
concentration, and inner self-awareness.
If you would like to try
some deep mediation that will help you relieve some of your stress, then
this is a short guide on how to perform mediation the correct way.
Prepare yourself
- Let
your muscles and all of your body fully relax. A pillow under your
knees and one behind your head may be helpful. The room should be
absolutely quiet unless there is some sort of mellow music playing in
the background.
- You begin by paying attention to your breathing and deepening your
breath. Focus on breathing into areas that are tense or tight and exhale
taking that tension out. While inhaling think as though your breath is
coming in from the bottom of your feet and leaving through your head,
then reverse the process while exhaling, think as though your breath is
going in through your head and exiting through the bottom of your feet.
Do this for about 5 to 15 minutes.
- The next thing that you should do is to focus on every specific part
of your body and relax each area one by one. It does not matter if it
is your fingertip, toe, nose, heart or internal organs etc. If you have
an instructor you will be asked to visualize different pictures such as a
white fence, a black crow or an airplane and anything else because this
part of the relaxation process is just allowing you to take your mind
off of anything that is bothering you. When you are completely relaxed
you may want to give yourself some suggestions such as, I am happy with
myself, or I am very peaceful. When you are finished with this process
you should feel the mind healing effects take place right away. This is
only a beginner's basic mediation exercise, to get the full effect of
mediation you must keep working through all of the levels.
