Meditating technique made simple

Ok so I said I would give you a real easy exercise or technique to do in order to get you on the road to meditating. Once you see how easy I am certain that you will achieve that happy quiet time where you can truly listen to your soul.

I want you to close your eyes and just simply focus on your breath. Yes I said your breath. Take your time. With each breath in, it will bring more and more relaxation, and with each exhalation, I want you to let go of all stresses and tension. Try this for five minutes, focusing on the regular rhythm of your breathing. You’ll become increasingly relaxed with each breath. Just let it happen. Let it all go and relax. If your mind starts to wander that is fine do not worry, just focus back on your breath. If thoughts come in, acknowledge them and acknowledge them as they leave again. You know how to do that don’t you just very quietly, calmly say “not now thank you later.” Notice how it feels to be completely relaxed. Continue to focus on your breath, while you let the mind chatter slow down and fade away. If you are used to the hustle and bustle and the constant noise this may take a little while but just keep at it. It is normal to have thoughts pop in, let them come and invite them to go.

Now, in your mind’s eye, which is located between your eyebrows (known as “The Third Eye”), I want you to imagine a symbol of your choosing. It can be a flower, a religious figure or icon, a single word, or whatever is pleasing to you. Make it your own special symbol, one that you use every time you meditate. At this point, just focus without straining on your chosen symbol. Now slowly inhale using your breath, but this time bring your awareness up to your Third Eye as you focus on your symbol. It’s almost as if you’re breathing in and out through this center. Do this for another five minutes. If your mind wanders, return your focus back to the breath and your symbol. This will then bring you back. Now you can use this symbol has your focus and guide in meditating. If you find you need more time to do some of this focusing then do follow your instinct. Remember this is for you and your inner peace.

During this relaxed state, it’s a perfect time to ask your higher-self for an answer to a specific question. You may get the answer in any number of ways. You may see an image, a scene, or beautiful colors. Equally, your spirit guides may make themselves known to you. The answer may not be immediate and sometimes it may come to you a few days later. Alternatively, you may be at the right place at the right time to receive your answer immediately. Do not worry about what or how you may get messages or answers just enjoy this time to reconnect with your inner self.

When you are done and ready to return, wriggle your fingers as you bring your awareness back to your body, and start to bring yourself back so that you become aware of the room around you. Remain seated for a moment and allow your consciousness to fully absorb your meditation, so you remember how calm you felt now that you’ve achieved the process of stilling the mind. In this peaceful state, anything is possible!

It really is a beautiful thing when you can take a moment to yourself, I mean your inner self, and then come back stronger then ever.
