Meditation Made Easy

The key to successful meditation is how you approach it. Do not place any expectation on what you want to achieve. All that you are required to do is listen – to your own breath, to your own soul. How many times have you said to yourself that you are too busy to sit down and meditate? Think about the last time your body felt peaceful. How did you body feel - relaxed, at ease, different? Did your heart feel different? Your sixth sense is the key to your intuitive flow. Just as a car has to be tuned to run properly, your body and mind also needs to be tuned.

How many times have you experienced a “gut feeling” only to brush it off? How many times have you looked back on a situation and wished you had listened to your gut feeling? We forget that our senses are calling out for us to listen. Meditation helps to clear out the clutter in your mind and body, allowing for new experiences to flow into your life.

   

Inpsyche Tip: Find a relaxing spot and pick a time that you know you won’t be interrupted. The aim of this meditation is to help you to clear the clutter from your mind and listen to your own breath.

ALL IT TAKES IS THREE SIMPLE STEPS

1. Sit or lay down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, pause, and exhale. Repeat this 10 times.
2. Keep breathing in and out and you will soon find that your body will fall into a natural rhythm. Focus on the image of a candle in your mind and imagine you are taking a match and lighting it. You now see the flame burning brightly in your mind. As the flame gets bigger, imagine the whole flame flowing gently throughout your whole body, starting from the top of your head through to your toes. If other thoughts keep entering your mind, keep returning to the image of the flame flowing through your body.
3. Remember to keep breathing and when the light of the flame has flowed through your whole body and out through your feet, place your hands on your stomach and take a deep breath in, pause and then exhale. Repeat this two more times. Slowly open your eyes.

Remember to write down anything you experienced during the meditation. There is no time limit to this exercise, some people find it takes them 30 minutes, other people feel they have a great experience from it after just 10 minutes. The key is to not have any expectations and doing it regularly.
