Meditation

 Meditation  

Meditation is the easiest and yet hardest discipline to master, I hear this said time and time again, whenever I suggest people actively start to meditate.  It is however, the single most valuable discipline you could ever do for your-self, becasue it truly is, for your-self.

To sit quietly, let all thoughts stop and just be aware of the breath is so easy, yet not achievable for so many people.  We are constantly distracted by telephones, radio, computers and that's not to mention work, family and friend commitments along with everyday living and Life in general.  So, to find a moment of peace, to be still and let your brain 'stand still' is pure bliss.

 

 I am not going to go into lengthy explanations of how to meditate as there are numerous books, websites, CD's and DVD's you can purchase. For me, it is not a chore or a special thing to do at a given time, for me meditation is something I do whatever I am doing, walking, ironing, washing up (all those mundain daily chores) can be your medition times.  

That is the secret ........ meditation is a human BE-ing, fully present in that moment.

BE conscious of Your-Self every minute of every day - BE conscious of every thoughts and action.

Being fully conscious of one-self, being conscious of your thoughts that lead to actions, result in a feeling of blissful calm, a more 'in control' person, making different choices and decisions and experiencing a life that becomes more and more stress free and calmer. 

 

Starting Meditation - the easy way - Just One Minute

 I suggest you visit the website below and download, for free, the One Minute Meditations (there are over 40 on the site) Download them onto your computer, iphone, ipod and listen to them a few times every day (they only take one minute!) As you start to use these meditations regularly and more often, you will notice that life becomes more bearable and easier to cope with.

Over a few days you will begin to notice how you are more relaxed, conscious and living a little less stress free.  By continually using the meditations you become more centred and calm, making better choices and feeling more energised and alive.  

Different choices create difference situations, these could be better food choices, better self care, better feelings about your-self altogether.  Everything just begins to flow, like it should, without stress, anger, fear and the madness of the 'rat race'.  

You can be in the 'rat race' madness but have an Oasis of Calm within, that is what meditation achieves.
