“How do you meditate?”
“Is there a right way?”
“Is there a wrong way?”
“Can I do I do it lying down?”
“My mind wont slow down….”
Have YOU actually tried
to meditate on a daily basis?
We find so many barriers to
experiencing meditation.
And, I am SO not an expert
But if I can do just 5 mins a day
then I know you
can.
I bet you have a jumpy,
ideas filled, to do list crammed,
things to do crowded, projects to
finish mind that never stops chattering.
Dwelling on the past, projecting
into the future, steaming of down
negative highway, dreaming &
fantasizing at a million miles an hour.
YEP?
You need to train your meditation
muscles then.
Build it up from just a few minutes
a day – just like a training programme.
MY QUICK TIPS For BUSY CRAZY BEGINNERS
Heres What I do…
I write down & think about what help & guidance
I need for the day. Then spend 5 – 10 mins,
maximum, aiming to sit in stillness, breathing
& listening to what comes up.
It’s really not complicated or difficult.
1: Find a nice, tranquil space to sit or lie in.
I use a favorite room in the house overlooking
the garden.
2: You canuse music or a guided mediation at first.
There are millions on youtube & itunes.
I love Gabby B’s, Marianne Williamson
but there are literally hundreds to try.
Sometimes I use a guided meditation. sometimes
I like quiet, depends on my mood.
3:Breath slowly & deeply and allow thoughts
come in & out of your mind – all thoughts/any thoughts.
4: Listen to what comes up, feelings,
emotions, listen to your inner voice.
I like to write in my notebook
immediately after as I often get
ideas & inspiration. Gabby B calls
this ~ing writing. I really enjoy this
part.
You may only mange 2 minutes
but thats so cool. 2 minutes of clarity,
of getting your day in order, of dealing
with thoughts/emotions & feelings.
Its so GOOD for you.
You don’t have to mediate in a morning.
I often do it as an afternoon pick me up.
It’s YOUR meditation you can make it
work however YOU want to.
I hope that helps.
As I say, I’m really
no expert But I hope my
little simplistic guide helps you
get into it.
Let me know if you try to mediate,
want to mediate or a seasoned vet.
