Practice for a happier Life.

Mediation is not mystical or inaccessible as some of you may have realized. Meditation is very down to earth and practical and it is available to anyone and everyone. And meditation is regardless to your current religious practices. You can meeditatie for any religion. Although many of the meditations are inspired by ancient and modern spirituality practices... None of tthem require a faith!

If you have no spiritual practice or do not believe in a god or higher Power(s) trying meditations with motivation of simply to create a happier life for yourself. You can meditate by simply creating a special time c0nsciously to focus your mind positive and helpful ways. But it helps to have some direction and guidance as to how to do this.

All the techniques in meditations fall in the four basic categorize -

•     Focusing
•     Thinking
•     Visualizing
•     Experience

Focusing

In the first meditation technique you focus your mind on an object.  The object can be external- A candle, image of your deity, a flower or it can be internal such as your breath or heart beat. The purpose of this technique is to quiet your mind of its constant thinking and attain peace. Focusing on an object helps you calm and center yourself and stabilize your mind.

As a side benefit because you will find it difficult to stop thinking totally you will observe patterns in your thinking process and your emotions. Which will help you learn more about yourself. Focusing during meditation help you focus on whatever you want in the rest of your life. What type of focusing do you do in your daily life?





Thinking

Instead of avoiding thoughts in order to calm, stabilize and focus your mind in these meditations you think about a topic. You might be asking to think about a problem you are current having or an issue such as Anger or a lose of someone. As well as virtues you wish to have or develop. Such as kindness or Patience as well as Unconditional Love. You may meditate on a topic by thinking of it of how to make yourself more positive change yourself. In this way you train your mind to be more positive.




 Visualizing

Many of the meditation will ask you to visualizing something to create a picture in your mind. Visualizing helps you create your reality, manifest your desires and intentions, change your behavior and even alter your body processes.

For example one of my favorite meditations is Tara meditation you visualizing is a very powerful meditation to remove fear and heal illnesses. Visualizing is a very is a very powerful tool in the mediators tool kit. Do not worry if you feel like you are having an issue visiualizing anything .. With a little practice your visiualizing skills will improve over time.





Experience

In some meditation it is requested you to request for whatever comes to you. Like one meditation I will teach you all is of dealing with another person. This meditation is to break barriers between your friendship and intimacy. Or to experience on one of your sense's as well. I love these types because they can make you feel so greatful for things you have.

Each meditation will contain more or one technique may it be of experience or of Focus or Visualizing and thinking. Meditation is great and must be done with constancy preferred.

But you must learn to use meditation to better yourself. Before meditating always set a motive. Before meditating I often suggest someone speaking to themselves out-loud or not about what they wish to accomplish with the meditation

Example

"I wish to do the Tara meditation to get over my fears of Losing love ones."
