I love to meditate. It's not only a real stress buster but it also helps you connect with your higher self and the cosmos.
Now i'm no pro at meditating. There are days i sit for good 45 mins and sometimes 10 mins seems like an hour.
Here are few tricks of the trade for beginners.
Mentally preparing yourself to meditate-
It is very important to prepare yourself mentally, know that you are ready to explore the depth of your mind without judgments. Thinking that only few people can meditate or you have to be extraordinarily spiritual is not true at all. Meditation is as simple as falling asleep. Calming your mind seems tricky but never force yourself to do anything. When random stuff comes in your mind just let it be and it will fade away. Acknowledge it but don't get involved in that thought.
Preparing yourself physically-
It helps to meditate after a long jog when the blood is pumping and you feel alive. If you are not a jogging person, it's also good to meditate after a bath, when you feel clean physically it becomes easier to clean yourself mentally. In fact if you are a busy-bee and don't have time for elaborate efforts to meditate, then just imagine all the negativity washing away while u showers and the divine white light cleaning you.
Also remember meditation is not hard earned. You don't need to contort you body into any painful shape to meditate. Be comfortable.
Visualization is the key -
Like we need eyes to see the physical world, we need inner eyes to see the spiritual/cosmic world. Visualization is everything. Imagination is always the first step to many great things. Always visualize positive things. It has the power to take you in a meadow when you are really sitting in your parking.
Visualize bright white light as the divine light of oneness, green for healing, purple for spiritual knowledge and psychic vision, red for passion/earth-based energies.
Control-
The last part of meditation for me is control which only comes with dedication and practice. It's something that you develop naturally. Control is power.
But remember i'm not saying all meditation needs to be excessively controlled. Sometimes letting yourself go is wonderful.
If you are serious about meditation read books about it, knowledge makes it easier.
Meditation helps you to discover yourself, and you will see that you are beautiful inside.
