Reward Yourself and Learn to Meditate
The word meditation brings up quite a few feelings. Some of
those feelings include confusion and some of them include
fear. The unknown is definitely something we fear
particularly if we've heard stories and allowed the media
to fill our heads with doom and gloom. A simple definition
of meditation is "Prolonged Awareness".
Prolonged awareness is easy because we've all had
experience with that. We've been driving somewhere and
missed our exit or driving home and don't remember the
details of how we got home or reading a book and had to go
back several pages because we don't remember what we read.
These are all forms of prolonged awareness. Some may laugh
and say I was just spacing out or zoning. Well that is
actually a form of meditation. The brain was aware and
functioning and yet it took a rest from the mundane every
day task.
You may have heard that meditation can help the body. This
is true but where do you turn to get to learn to meditate?
Do you find a guru? Do you go to yoga class? Do you read a
book? All of those are possible but still the issue about
who, what, and where comes up. The other thing many people
ask "Do I have to chant?". No you don't have to chant. One
of the biggest issues with wanting and trying to meditate
is getting the mind to quiet down. It's quite a challenge
with hectic lifestyles we lead to get our minds to be
empty. Whoa hold on, we don't actually need to empty our
minds.
Now that you're thoroughly confused let's step back and
take a look at the who, what, where to find meditation. The
first thing you want to do is be open to the idea. The
right class or person will come into our life if we are
just open. The second thing is to ensure that you are
comfortable with the person that will be teaching you or
who will be your guide through meditation. The next thing
is you need to get some basics under your belt. Meditation
is easy but there aren't many 1, 2, 3 books out there
teaching meditation.
Just because you aren't emptying your mind or you feel
uncomfortable doesn't mean that you aren't having some
success. Our bodies are craving the inner calm but you'll
need to learn how to bring some of that inner calm in to
your body just like you learned how to ride a bike. There
are steps and there are bumps along the way. Perseverance
is key to succeeding.
Meditation can change the physiology of your body allowing
it to heal itself and releasing old anger and issues. I
have had many students in my meditation class tell stories
of illnesses that are now gone just because they are
meditating regularly. Some students have told of not having
anger issues any more and still other tell of a sense of
self they had never felt. Just because the word may give
you concern don't let the opportunity to learn to meditate
pass you by because you may be passing up the chance to
reward yourself with good health, happiness, and
interacting with some wonderful new friends.
