As our daily lives become so busy and more complex than ever before many people are now turning to some form of meditation including Guided Meditation and Transcendental Meditation to assist with stress, anxiety and the frustrations of coping from day to day.

Meditation is a conscious act to relax the mind, body and spirit. Meditation takes ones mind away from the events surrounding your life and self talk. It is often believed that one has to meditate for hours to find true peace and harmony.  This is not true scientific results show that five to ten minutes a day has significant healing.

Too many people the word meditation brings instant thoughts of a man sitting crossed legged for  many hours not moving a muscle, and in a deep trance.  The second thought is I can’t mediate or it’s beyond my abilities.   Well meditation is quite simple and much easier than most people believe and now their are great dvd's and tapes to assist the beginners to meditation.
                                                           

 


Meditation For Beginners

Mediation for beginners can sometimes be slow to learn, but with practice it is easily mastered.  If you start with just a few minutes a day and increase the time as you feel is comfortable for you, you will receive greater success. 

If your mind begins to wander gently tell the thoughts to go away and then gently bring your thoughts back to your breathing.  If you are trying to learn mediation and your thoughts keep wandering, don't get cranky with yourself.  Just accept the situation and begin again another time. 

As you being to meditate a beautiful feeling separateness surrounds you.  All your stress and problems seem so far away or not so significant, during meditation the feeling of love and peace are very significant.

The practice of meditation is taught by guru's all over the world.  Different cultures, religions, faiths all teach  and have different beliefs.  Regardless of their beliefs, mediation principals are exactly the same.  They focus on the breath, slow the conscious mind and allow the unconscious mind to take over. 

 
During meditation one may see colours, lights, visions and spirit.  Many people have seen events past and present.  Some people use meditation to rediscover past live events, or even future events for themselves and others. 

Meditation is a wonderful tool to use for guidance and contacting spirit guides and Angels.  If you are just learning to meditate do not be discouraged because you do not hear or see anything.  Just go with the flow of breathing and allow whatever happens come to you quietly and easily.

Other people prefer using a guided  meditation CD or DVD to assist them.  There are many guided meditation CD's available.  A guided meditation will talk you through the meditation including tips on breathing and relaxing the mind. 

A guided meditation includes breathing, relaxation, and visualisation.  During a guided meditation you will be guided to use your imagination and visualise colours, places, scenery, events or time in your life,and even events in a past life.

If you are new to meditation I would recommend you start with a meditation for beginners and as you become more advanced move onto energy meditation.

If you have a friend who meditates then ask them for a few tips.
