Meditation

Meditation may defined as thinking continuously about one object of thought. It may defined as thinking continuously about one object of thought. We often get stuck on this definition, however, and lose the real purpose of meditation. Meditation must reveal the true nature of that object upon which we are meditating. Such revelation comes not as a thought, but as a feeling. Therefore, meditation is a process in which we shift from thinking to feeling. It is a journey from the complexity of mind to the simplicity of heart. It is for this reason that most methods of meditation involve the heart.

• Meditation directly affects the function and structure of the brain, changing it in ways that appear to increase attention span, sharpen focus and improve memory.

• In addition to having better focus and control over their emotions, many people who meditate regularly have reduced levels of stress and bolstered immune systems. But less is known about the link between meditation and brain structure.

• In research, It was found that, people who had been meditating more than seven years were approximately twelve years younger physiologically than those of the same chronological age who were not meditating.” (Gabriel Cousens)

• The first step is committing to a regular, daily practice. Taking 10 minutes out each day shouldn’t be difficult, but it’s easy to get caught up in everything that’s going on. Try to make it a regular part of your schedule.

• Create a space to sit at the same time each day. Mornings seem to work best for most people.

• Sit comfortably in a chair with your hands resting in your lap or on your knees. Keep your back straight

• You can use a timer or following an MP3, commit to practicing for the full time you’ve set aside,

• Close your eyes, gazing softly into the middle distance. Take five deep, audible breaths, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. On the last exhalation.

• Acknowledge your senses: notice anything you can smell, hear or taste and sensations of heat, cold or wind.

• Gently note your underlying mood, just becoming aware of what’s there without judgment. If there’s nothing obvious, that’s fine.

• Recognize any expectation or desire you’ve brought along, and let it go. Spread the love: take a moment to consider the wider effects of being mindful today. Feeling calmer helps you feel better.

• During the practice all you have to do is step back and let it all unfold in its own time and own way.

• Attention to your breathing. Don’t make any effort to change it, just observe the rising and falling sensation that it creates in your body. Notice where these sensations occur.

• In completion, try to carry this awareness with you to the next activity.
