Always remember - meditation is simple!
It is the art of focusing our attention on one thing. In day-to-day life it is natural to find our thoughts racing from one thing to another in ceaseless circles.
This constant unfocused activity becomes very draining, to a point where we need to seek a quiet place, a refuge, a place with some stillness and solitude away from activity.
Meditation can enable us to do this. It helps to make us calmer, more relaxed and relieves tension. It can also enable us to discover inner levels of ourselves when we progress to more advanced meditation.
Observing the breath is a simple yet powerful form of meditation. This is where the foundations for meditation lie, and breath meditation is a useful tool, which can be a starting point for progressing to finer and deeper meditation techniques.
- Try to set a time aside a regular time once or twice each day.
- This is going to be your time and the world can wait, it has already had your attention for 23 hours so look at your meditation as a special and important part of your day.
- Ensure you will not be disturbed e.g. take the phone off the hook.
Remember that you can only experience the benefits of meditation for yourself so we are trying to build in meditation as a regular part of your day. Cultivate a good habit for a change!
