I decided to take up meditation as a New Year's resolution, for a variety of reasons. I recognized some qualities in myself that I wanted to confront, and it seemed that meditation was just the next natural step in my journey of self-actualization. Deciding I wanted to learn how to meditate was the easy part. Figuring out how to learn it was the hard part. There are SO MANY different types of meditation, and even more meditation philosophies to sort through. I read what I could online, but meditation is not necessarily easy to understand... that is, until you've done it. After some trial and error, I came across the "Simple Meditation for Beginners" course. I was a beginner, and I preferred simplicity, so it sounded perfect. Here are the details of my experience with this program:
Things I wanted to accomplish. Meditation was important to me because I didn't know how to relax. Also, I was having some issues with self-acceptance, and also encountering road blocks when it came to achieving some personal goals. (These were the things that I needed to work on. Your list may be different. Whatever the case may be, you need to take the time to create a list of your meditation goals. That way, you will be able to focus your meditations on your own circumstances.)
Find some free time in a calm and quiet place as you can at least 20 minutes or more. Meditating with interruptions from your gadgets and computers will not really work. Some traditions use the physical position lotus position or also known as Indian sit. In Sanskit, this is known as mudras - the famous sitting position in the ground. If you are not comfortable with this sitting position, you can sit on a chair instead. Do not just sit but try as much as possible to do something. Don't start immediately with meditation but let your body and mind settle first before starting. Life is already stressful as it is, do not add stress by doing meditation in a hurry. Try to pick something and gently draw your attention into it. It can be an image - mental or physical - or your breathing which works easy and natural. You can meditate with eyes closed or open, whichever works for you. A mantra may also aid you during meditation. It is a voice or sound that you build in your mind. When your mind starts to wander, slowly go back to the present condition. During your meditation, you will feel that your mind gets quieter than before.
Meditation is an easy technique. You do not have to worry about whether you are doing it right or wrong. That's a wrong way to start your meditation. Avoid getting angry or frustrated with yourself and in your mind. If you need to stop your meditation, gently do it slowly. Do it smooth and not harsh. Enjoy first the state you built and do not forego of it as soon as possible. Repeat your meditation as needed. It will be very effective if done regularly. Do it always for a long period. It does not need to take many hours or every day. A 20-minute meditation is effective if done always.
Minuses. For people (like myself) who are interested in learning about the deeper points of meditation (like the chakras and transcendentalism, for example), the course seemed a bit simplistic. Sure, I learned the basics... but I was left with the feeling that I needed to continue on in my studying if I wanted to truly grasp all that meditation had to offer me. This course is most definitely "for beginners," as it states, and you will have to do further research if you want to progress on your meditation journey.
The best meditation technique for beginners is the binaural beats. It is the most effective method in going through a deep meditation as fast as possible is through binaural beats. These are sounds that affect the brain waves which are responsible for relaxation. Listen to these sounds to quickly enter into a meditative state fast. These techniques have become the most famous and most effective in removing frustration and struggle that are faced by people who meditates when meditating. Simply putting on an audio through headsets will help you to easily enter into a state of deep meditation, bliss and relaxation. Binaural beats are very effective and will only require you to sit and listen in a quiet place.While meditation works for many individuals, the effects of this vary among each individual. Each person must just have to believe in what they are doing and have faith that it will do them good.
