People from all over the world have been practicing meditation for centuries
. Meditation is used to quiet the body and mind and to relieve accumulated stress. Meditating daily can be highly beneficial to your mental health, it relieves stress, gives you clarity and helps you focus on your tasks.
I read an article the other day on a popular magazine that said that writers meditate to get over writers block. Many times authors experience writers block because of all the resistance in their heads and meditation helps clear this resistance up. The article also stated that many businessmen "go into silence" when they need to solve a problem, when they finish they find a that their problem has been solved like magic.
The most common way to effectively meditate is by finding a quiet place, this can be in your front porch, bedroom or even your office. When you meditate make sure that you are sitting upright that makes it simpler to quiet your mind. Many meditation experts state that you should "go into silence" in the same place every day.
Make sure it's quiet, turn your cellphone off and make sure you don't have a television in your peace spot, that way you don't have the temptation to turn it on. In this article i will give you some simple tips that i use to meditate. The first step you must take is to sit quietly and still in your chosen "peace spot" and then close your eyes.
If you are a beginner you are going to find out quick that quieting your mind is kind of impossible, so don't focus on anything at all just stay as still as you can and as you get better at it you will find that your mind stills itself. Sometimes you come from work very tired and try to go into peace then you find your mind can't stay still, just let it be.
If you have never done this before start with ten minuet sessions then move on to twenty and then on. After you start to get some experience under your belt you will find your self deeply relaxed and you will actually start to look forward to your meditation sessions.
