I recently started meditating every day. The benefits are enormous. A session of 15 minutes is said to equal 2-3 hours of sleep. Meditating is one of the best tools we have to calm the mind and learn how to focus. You don’t have to meditate for long at a time just 5-10 minutes. If you do have time to spare 15 min twice a day is ideal.
Find a quiet spot and sit comfortably in a chair with arms and legs uncrossed. Don’t allow anything to disturb you. Close your eyes and tell yourself that you will be back to a conscious level in 15 min. Focus on your breathing, breathe all the way down to your stomach. Count slowly backwards from 50 to 1. This will help you focus and clear your mind. When you are down to one and you have managed to exclude everything else from your mind just sit and “be” for a while. If a thought pops into your mind gently let it go. Count from 1 to 5 when you want to come out of the meditation and upon reaching 5 you will open your eyes, feeling completely refreshed and alert. Sit for a minute or two before starting to move and go about your activities.
Another very powerful thing you can do while in this relaxed state, called Alpha is to manifest things you want to have happen in your life. I will explain how to do that next time.
Happy thoughts!
