Meditation is an important activity that frees us from our minds, and helps us be more present in our lives.
Meditation is a practice where we use various methods to quiet the mind, observe our inner dialogue and through such observation, we gain insight into ourselves. This allows us to live more in the present moment. When we live more in the present moment, we have a better understanding our true feelings, and are better able to connect to, and understand our natural intelligence. We are in effect, better able to understand and respond to life using our intuition and natural intelligence, without being blinded by our emotional reactions. One well known method is to "sit in stillness" - where we consciously become the "observer" of our inner dialogue by allowing thoughts to essentially flow through our minds without judging or reaction to them. The idea is to pay conscious attention to our inner dialogues, allowing thought to be there, without judgement, so thought loses the emotional charge that causes us to react. When thoughts no longer cause us to react emotionally, we can let go of mind patterns that cause us to feel anxiety and stress in our minds and bodies. Ultimately, through this process, we can put ourselves into a state of no thought, of pure conscious attention to where one is at that moment, without judgment, without thought - in other words, through meditation, we want to experience being in the present moment. Living in the present moment, connected consciously to our own energy, helps us discover our own body's inner intelligence. Many students tell me that they "cannot quiet their mind" or that they get "bored" with trying to meditate - the solution for these "barriers to meditating" is to allow the thoughts to be there, and as described above, to simply observe them WITHOUT REACTING to them. The simple observation of thought, allows thoughts to "move through" our minds without us dwelling on them or ruminating over them. To recognize and become the observer of our thoughts, we must simply take a moment to pay attention to the inner dialogue that we all engage in - and find that voice that "responds to" that other voice within us that ridicules us, or tells us about all of those "stupid" things we have done, or reminds us in a negative way about all that we still need to do. Once we find the observer within, we can use that part of us to pay attention to the thoughts that continuously tries to interrupt our attempts to sit in meditation.
BEING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT IS HOW WE CONNECT PSYCHICALLY OR INTUITIVELY TO OTHERS!!!!!! I cannot state this strongly enough. When I read for people, I am fully in the present moment. Meaning, I am not reacting emotionally to what I am getting. Try the exercise below, as well as the 6 minute meditation above. When you do this regularly, you will eventually get to a state of no thought - when this happens is when you will start to perceive subtle energies!!!!!! You will see, feel, hear or smell things that you cannot explain. These perceptions will be strong, with tremendous detail. Please take the few minutes to journal about the experiences - you will begin to see validations!!!! OF COURSE THIS IS WHAT WE WORK ON AT OUR WORKSHOP - SO CHECK OUT THE WORKSHOP PAGE AND SEE IF YOU CAN COME TO ONE: WORKSHOP
There are very many methods that we can use to meditate - in fact, too many practices to list here - the key is finding one that works for you! Such practices include yoga, breathing rhythmically, exercise - jogging - hiking-biking, gardening, and simply sitting in stillness, observing the thoughts that arise in your mind, and allowing them to drift off. Of course many may want to use "guided" meditations to start their practice, or to advance their practice into a new area of internal experience.
Excercise: Try sitting as still as you can for 5 minutes a day. Before starting your timer (I use my cell phone on airplane mode), find the "observer" in your mind. As noted above, the "observer" is that voice in our heads that responds to that other critical inner voice. Set your timer for 6 minutes, using the first minute to settle comfortably on a chair, pillow or bed. Once you are settled, shut your eyes, and be as still as you can. As thoughts move through your mind, observe them - allow them to just "be" there without acting on them. You might think, "I have to go empty the dishwasher," "I need to call my mother" or "I need to scratch my nose." Allow the thoughts to just "be" in your mind, and let the observer tell that voice that wants you to act, that you can do that later, after the 6 minutes are up. If a particular thought makes it just too difficult to be still, take a pen or pencil and write down the thought with as little disruption as possible. Then, if the thought comes back again, let the observer tell yourself that you can do it later because you wrote it down. Continue to observe the thoughts that rise up in your mind, but do not act on them. Notice it, if you want to scratch your nose - wiggle - or brush your hair off your face. What does that desire to move feel like? Our minds like to "keep us busy" and for 5 minutes, you can resist that, and be still.
This may be difficult to do at first, the 5 minutes will seem very long. But after some days, you will find the 5 minutes goes by quickly. When you are feeling like that - up your "stillness time" to 10 minutes. Then 15, etc.
