What is meditation for beginners?
This course is Meditation For Beginners. It will help you to get a good firm grounding in the basics of meditation, that you'll be able to take with you into daily life, to walk around in a meditative state, and to form the foundations for your own daily practice. All within about an hour and a half of course materials.
What is the purpose of meditation?
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Meditation originally was meant to help deepen understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of life. These days, meditation is commonly used for relaxation and stress reduction.
Can you meditate by observing your breath?
"The practice of meditation is not about suppressing thought but surpassing it. Observing your breath is one way to approach this," says Victor Davich, author of 8-Minute Meditation: Quiet Your Mind, Change Your Life. You may want to try a guided meditation to quiet your mind and develop your focus.
What are the features of meditation?
Some of the most common features in meditation include: Focused attention. Focusing your attention is generally one of the most important elements of meditation. Relaxed breathing. This technique involves deep, even-paced breathing using the diaphragm muscle to expand your lungs. A quiet setting.
How to meditate step 1: Start now!
Yes, believe it or not, the key to learn to meditate is simply to do it. "Do what?" you may well ask. Let's keep it simple.
How to meditate step 2: Just sit and 'do' nothing.
Sit or stand or lie where you are and STOP doing everything else, right now!
Do this now, wherever you happen to be (except of course riding a bike or any other activity that could endanger yourself or others if you suddenly stopped! Most likely, you are in front of a computer screen and there will be no danger to anyone)
How to meditate step 3: awareness of the world
Note the time on your watch or on your PC or laptop. then use your senses to become aware of your surroundings. Allow the world to enter you through your eyes, ears, nose.
How to meditate step 4: awareness of body
Become aware of the sense of touch (for example the feeling of the ground under your feet, or your clothes against your skin).Then allow the physical sensation of your whole body to enter your awareness. You can focus on one part of your body (for example, your belly) or move your awareness through larger parts of your body (for example, upper body) or you whole body.
How to meditate step 5: awareness of breath
Without changing anything, notice your breathing. You can do this is in different ways. For example you can notice the movements in your belly or rib cage. Or you can feel the air through your nostrils. Or you can hear the flow of air in and out of your lungs. Or you can alternate between some or all of these aspects of your breathing. (More about breathing techniques for meditation and mindfulness meditation later).
How to meditate step 6: return safely
After a short while, bring your awareness back to your body, then your surroundings and then to the activity you were doing when you stopped (in Step 1). Note the time. How long did this take you?
Congratulations! You just completed your first meditation and are on your way to learn how to meditate.
This simple meditation sequence can be done in 5 minutes, or be extended over an hour, depending on how long you stay with each step. When you learn to meditate it is key to start small, but practice regularly, at least once a day.
Do this sequence once a day, for maybe 5 minutes, for the coming two weeks. Then come back to Meditation for Beginners and explore further. There are lots of free meditation techniques, tips and ideas. There are many different types of meditation, but there is no need to explore these right now, unless you have already had some experience of meditation.
If in the course of the two weeks of practice this seems to get more difficult, please do not worry. This is part of the process. Just stay with it. Simply do the steps, never mind if it goes well or not so well. It does not matter. At this point, the key is to just do it every day! Trust me.
