An example of meditation
Meditation can be thought of as greatly directed concentration, but a portion of the population whom meditate practice clearing their thoughts from exterior disruptive or hindering ideas. When beginning meditation this is a proper focus to start with and you will greatly benefit if you occasionally continue this method even after you have mastered the basics. After doing this for a while you are ready to begin sharpening your skills with visualization.
Visualization is when you produce images with your mind. The more you do this the more vivid these images will become. Many times I have recalled where I lost my car keys by visualizing where i had put them. But this is just a needle in a haystack compared to what can be done with visualization, and this is true of all your senses not just this one.
Asking questions of yourself!
You can begin asking your subconscious mind for answers. Let's face it when you ask someone else for solution to some problem, they are not going to be anywhere near as concerned with producing a quality answer as you are with getting one.
as you become more skilled in clearing your thoughts of external issues you will become more ready to hear your subconscious when it provides resolutions you ask of it. you may think I am joking but you recall your first diaper change, every joy, and every other experience you ever had.
This might not be readily available to your conscious mind but the details are still there and available for use by your unconscious mind to utilize in providing resolutions. it not only does this but processes data much more quickly and efficient than the conscious mind is able to.
Ever forget the name of an actor in a movie and it really bothered you? Then after a little time went by, his name just popped into your mind? That was your subconscious providing his name to you and this example is just one way resources from your subconscious mind can surface.
A way to start meditating now:
Find a place free of noise and other distractions, assume a comfortable position, close your eyes and begin breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth hold your breath for two seconds (or comfortable time frame) between inhale and exhale, this is going to get a little more oxygen to your brain and also help you get into a rhythm.
Continuously breathe in this fashion throughout the meditation. Now start to visualize a powered of monitor screen no blinking led, no pretty graphics filling the screen. With continued practice you should be able to keep images from filling the screen. now start paying attention to the weight of your body and start easing your muscles.
On every exhale relax yourself a little bit more. If you have trouble relaxing your body parts, tense them for a but (but not too much you don't want to cramp) and then re-ease them, paying attention to the sensation of that experience.
Fantastic, now you should be capable of allowing your body parts to loosen up a bit on each exhale. when you begin experiencing the sensation of drifting or floating you have achieved light meditation.
Now keep this up for the duration you had set aside previously (use a timer if needed, the ticking will only help with rhythm) and when you are completed you will have just had your first experience with meditation.
You should continue this several times a week for the span of a month, then begin changing your imagery. When the images become detailed you are ready to start using Deep Meditation with directed purpose.
If trying to remember things or grasp new concepts that seem to elude you, allow yourself time the solutions will manifest themselves when you least expect it so long as your desire for the solution continues.
