Meditation - tons of information about it these days. The biggest benefit everyone claims for meditation is stress relief and thats correct but there is so much more. So I'm going to post what I have found to be effective for me and my clients.
Meditation means to 'contemplate' or 'muse'. That means to think about, and talk about again and again, especially to yourself which also involves muttering or self dialogue. Meditation doesn't need to be complicated. So how is it done?
1. Find a topic: A truthful one. I usually meditate on something from the Bible or what my mentor has said. The topic is important because if we are meditating on the wrong and negative thing its worry which defeats the purpose of stress and is also fatal.
2. Position: Lotus positions with closed eyes and folded palms. The classic represented pose for meditation. The only problem is it gets uncomfortable a little too soon. If you close your eyes it just helps with focus and shutting out distractions. I've done meditations with my eyes open. Also meditation can be done sitting or lying down. If you are taking an afternoon nap or setting in for your sleep in the night, this is beneficial. You go to sleep more easily and drift off for your nap or sleep.
3) Place: Find a comfortable and quiet place. You want to avoid noise, distractions, etc.
4) Time: If I am in the course of the day and have work, I usually take 7-10 minutes out. I dont usually go for 30 minutes or 1 hour.
5) Discipline: Stay consistent. 7-10 minutes everyday is better than a fancy INR 5,000 1 hour course twice a week (especially when you can do it for free). Build a discipline, slowly but steadily
