Meditation
Relaxation Through MeditationMeditation
in all of its forms is designed to make you more self-aware, more
aware of your surroundings, more in tune with your environment,
and ultimately more in control of your physical being and the
things around you. In the process, meditation is successful in
helping to reduce anxiety and stress, because it generates a sense
of empowerment, placing you in control of your own destiny.
There are many forms of meditation some more physically challenging,
and some quite sendentary, but they all have their strong points.
Meditation is very much like a good stretching routine which also
has the benefit of allowing you to get in touch with yourself
in a positive way.
Meditation is a process that leads to a state of consciousness
that brings serenity, clarity, and bliss. During our typical mental
state, we receive sensory stimuli and react in a completely uncontrolled
way (although we tell ourselves we have great control). We bounce
from one thought to another and follow with our emotional and
physical reactions. The same thought can bring about diametrically
opposite reactions at different times. For instance, we may see
a dog and then start a thought process that reminisces about a
pet dog we once had and loved. Emotionally, we then start feeling
all warm and cuddly; physically, we feel very relaxed. Another
time, we may see the same dog and fear it may attack us and start
thinking paranoid thoughts, get fearful and uptight physically.
Concentration is the first step in Meditation and is the start
of gaining control over the mind and thereby life. The procedure
is deceptively simple and seems like it would be very easy to
do, but there are few tasks more difficult to master. The idea
is to pick an object/subject to place your attention on and then
to focus exclusively on it without diversion. Once you pick your
subject or object, relax your body, sit in a comfortable position,
calm your emotions and begin repeating the word "love"
over and over. If you find your mind wandering from your topic,
simply bring yourself back into concentration on the original
topic and continue your session. If you are successful in concentrating
your thoughts away from other distractions you will experience
a very liberating feeling that helps you to clear your mind of
clutter and have an easing of tension, that will be followed by
a sense of relaxation and calm, second only to being fully sleep.
We encourage you to investigate the various forms of meditation
and find one that best suits your needs, and perfect it for your
total fitness and enjoyment. For additional resources on meditation
