Meditation To
Help You Be Free
You'll need
to set aside 30 minutes or more each day, it doesn't
matter what time of day but it may be easier if you do it at
the same
time each day to establish a pattern.
Before you
begin, you need to find a quiet place where you will not
be disturbed. This place can be indoors or outdoors. Tell
everyone
not to disturb you . Remember to unplug and/or turn off
phones,
pagers, audible email alerts, etc. Make sure your clothing
is
nonrestrictive and you have a comfortable place to
sit.
1. Look at
the clock.
2. Close your eyes
3. Take a deep breath
4. Decide how long you will have your eyes closed (not
asleep).
If you have decided on 30 minutes, say the exact time that you
will
be opening your eyes that is thirty minutes from now.
5. Say to yourself, "I will open my eyes at ______ and
emerge
feeling energized and refreshed."
6. Relax your body.
(There are many ways to do this, here are some
suggestions:
Relax your
muscles sequentially from head to toes.
Focus on your breathing.
Counting breaths starting at from 1 to 20.
Counting from 5 - 1 while repeating "Deeply relaxing".
Find whatevr method that works for you.)
7. Release
all your concerns and worries.
(You will be releasing all your concerns and worries to God,
Goddess,
the Source, Buddha, the Universe or whatever name works for
you. I
will use God in my examples since that is an easily recognized
name.
Following is an example of what you can say, I use stress for
the
concern, feel free to change it to meet your
needs:
Dear God, I
have stress in my life and I'm not enjoying it. Please
accept this stress from my life, I no longer have any need or
desire
for it. I (State your name), release this stress to you now.
Thank
you God."
Imagine God is holding out his hands to
you and you are placing all
your worries and concerns in his hands. Feel the weight lifting
from
your shoulders. Take a deep breath and let it go with an
audible
sigh. Feel the peace and stillness.
8. Accept
guidance by asking "What do you want me to know?"
(Sit in the stillness and receive the answer. The answer may
come as
a vision, words, feelings or you may just experience a profound
sense
of love. There is no one right way or one right answer.
Whatever
you experience is right for you.)
9. When you
feel it is time to end, open your eyes and say "Thank
you God."
10. Take three deep breaths.
11. Record
any insights or observations in writing or on audio so
that you can review them at a later date.
Now go out
and take on the day knowing that you are
Love!
Important things to
remember about successful meditating:
Do not suggest to your mind that you will sleep. This is not
sleep,
it is a deep state of trance. If all goes well, your brain will
drop
into an alpha and then a theta brain wave. During this time you
will
be attempting to achieve a very restorative state in your brain
and
body without entering a sleep state.
Your mind will keep track of the time without your
conscious knowledge and you will usually open your eyes at
the exact time.
Alter state of
consciousness - Guaranteed in less than 8
minutes. Works first time
and every time. You will achieve peace,
relaxation, enlightenment, personal
enhancement and much much
more.
