Secret #1: Meditation Is No ‘Quick Fix’

I’m sure you’ve seen lots of quick-fix,”wealth without work” approaches to personal development. It’s often claimed that you’ll experience exotic states of blissful meditation and/or that you’ll quickly bring about transformational changes in your life.

While I’m sure some programs have something to offer, I also know there is no real short cut to LASTING transformation and happiness.

Meditation and mind-body training in general require PRACTICE. Those people that practice usually find the rewards are well worth it. If you practice correctly and you are committed to the process, the odds of achieving the results you’re looking for and very good.

I recommend you set aside some time each day for your practice. Ten minutes a day is fine to get you started. But the most important thing is that you make it fun so you enjoy it and practice consistently.

Secret #2: Your Posture Must Be Good

There are many possible positions for meditation-lotus position, half-lotus, sitting on a chair or cross-legged on the floor. Some prefer to sit on a cushion on the floor while others prefer a standing meditation.

Whatever position you settle in, your posture must be full and open and your back straight. A bad posture is uncomfortable and will make you feel restless. When your posture is good, you will feel more comfortable and your practice will be so much more enjoyable.

Sitting or standing in a good posture makes the inside of your body come alive. Energy flows more easily through the body. Good posture promotes natural, spontaneous healing. Make good posture an inseparable part of your practice. In fact, make good posture part of your daily life!

Secret #3: The Best Style Of Meditation

There are many people out there teaching all sorts of different styles and practices. But do not accept anyone’s teaching without verifying the truth of what they say in your own experience.

I recommend you try a few different styles and see what feels right for you (all the main natural styles are covered in our introductory training program “Secrets of Meditation, Health and Manifestation.”)

Find one or two styles that feel good for you and stick to that, but be careful not to get stuck in the technique.

While there are a number of important guidelines common to all styles of meditation practice, the most important guideline is this: Listen to your own body and do what is natural and feels right for you.

Remember that if you feel discomfort in any way, that is a sign that what you are doing is NOT good!

Meditation should NEVER be forced. You should let the meditation happen in a relaxed and comfortable way without forcing or directing it. The main thing to remember is to pay attention to your body. Make sure that what you are doing is natural and feels right for you.

An Efficient Meditation Technique
Basic Steps to Follow

Many individuals that are in search of clearing their minds from daily worries and stress turn to meditation. But is there a 100% efficient meditation technique? The facts are that there can be found various meditation techniques -some of them quite specialized and detailed - but there are a few steps that need to be followed regardless of the chosen method: the breathing, the relaxing and the meditation itself. Here they are!

How to Breathe

The first thing you should know is that there is no effective meditation technique without a proper breathing.Basically, you need to focus on your breathing, to breathe in slowly, yet deeply and to let the air out as slowly as you can, but without making effort. Try to think that the air is clean and pure, that it comes straight from God,from the perfect nature or from other positive, ideal sources.

Furthermore, try to feel that the breathing is cleaning your entire body and that it is helping your body loosen up. Some individuals find it useful to try to breath as slowly as possible and, at the same time, as quietly as possible - try to think like you are “whispering” your breathing.

How to Relax

Meditation and relaxation go hand in hand and depend on each other, so make sure that you are committed to begin a complex and unite meditation exercises program, a program that is based on a previous relaxation and detachment from worries and problems. But how can you make sure that you reach the needed level of relaxation? Well, first of all,you need to be surrounded by a welcoming, appealing and intimate decor that can permit you relax and meditate. Select the place where you feel most comfortable and at peace.

How to Meditate

The wide range of meditation tools and techniques permits you to find the one that is most suitable for you. But there is one meditation technique that seems to be very popular and easily applicable: the visualization meditation practice. The only question here is: “What should you visualize?” the answer is quite simple: you should visualize the one thing that makes you feel relaxed, happy,satisfied or that induces any other feeling you enjoy.

Basically, it can be anything: a moment that happened, a moment that you expect to happen, an activity that relaxes you, a fantasy, a trip to an exotic island or, why not, to your own room or home (the place where you feel safest and best), a natural element, your loved ones and the list can go on and on.

When you are imagining or picturing the selected moment or element, you have to let all its beauty invade you, you have to be receptive to all the stimulants that it offers you, to enjoy it in all the ways you can. Observe your selected element carefully, slowly, be attentive to the
details. Live the emotions that it creates with intensity and you will live the meditation experience at high standards.

Once you have started to meditate, make sure you practice your meditation technique every day or at least every other day and make sure you follow the above tips, in order to get to the desired results. Remember that meditation is a key to a better health, a better sleep, a better focus and,in general, to a better life, so those 10 minutes every day are worth it!
