The Simplest Meditation Technique For All

By Steven Williams


Most people who want to begin mediation face the challenge of concentration. In other cases, you might feel too busy to find the time to mediate. Others are concerned about the environment or availability of resources to facilitate the exercise. The answer to all these questions or challenges lies in identifying the right meditation technique.

Since every individual is unique and has personal goals when thinking of mediating, the approach will vary. It is also worth noting that you can meditate using improvised apparatus and still achieve desired results. You can mediate in a group or as an individual. All you will need to achieve the desired results is to identify your goals and the best way to hit them with the resources available.

One of the highest rated techniques to be used when meditating is concentration. It works by training your focus on a singular position, action, repeated sound or point, etc. For instance, you can gaze at the flame of a burning candle for sometime until you experience inner calmness. Counting the beads of a necklace or rosary or listening to repetitive gong sound also produces excellent results.

It proves difficult for most people to focus on a single point or idea at the beginning. Experts suggest that the concentration duration be increased gradually. The best duration to meditate is thirty minutes at most. Do not entertain emerging ideas but simply let them fly away. It takes time for you to master this.

Mindful meditation is almost the opposite of concentration but requires you to recognize and appreciate the ideas. The mind is allowed to wonder freely and generate any thought. You will recognize the dynamic nature of your mind and how beautiful the thoughts are. Some will be positive while others are negative. Do not scrutinize or judge them. Drift with them as they emerge. You will identify what is important in the process.

The principle target of anyone meditating or any technique is to attain stillness. This should be both at mental and physical level. Activities that are repetitive put you into a cycle that makes it easier to meditate. Repetitive melody, walking, humming, slow movement, counting of beads are such repetitive acts. They do not depend on expensive apparatus or third party interventions.

Guided meditations are also considered effective. There are numerous resources online or from shops to guide you through the motions. Whenever you are purchasing a resource to help you meditate, consider the targeted results. Different resources produce varying results. Most of these resources are sounds and music that will capture your imagination and mind as you meditate.

Meditating helps you to deal with the hectic modern life that is full of stress. It enables you to achieve inner calmness which increases your inner potential and reinforces positive thoughts. The calmness achieved when you mediate makes it easier to understand your inner self. You do not have to meditate for hours to achieve desired results. A few minutes on the floor, sited at the park, walking, etc will deliver the desired results.
