Meditation For Beginners - Where To Start

By Richard M. Mathews


If you are a beginner and have never meditated before or only a couple of times, you may not know where to start or if you are doing it right. There are so many different types of meditation and it can be difficult to know which one would be great for you.he smartest thing is to attempt several alternate means in seeking to attain the many advantages of meditation, in advance of selecting one which is best for you. While many individuals enjoy doing meditation with a type of exercise such as pilates, aerobics, or yoga, others prefer meditation by itself. Whichever you prefer, you should chose a method that gives you the most relaxation possible.

Through reconnecting your soul to the spiritual source, the principal ambition in meditating proves to be relaxing both mind and body. The mind is able to calm down, when the body is calm. This can literally help the body to improve in health. A second advantage to be gained through meditation centers on the fact that it is a method for permitting yourself to think clearly. Your mind simply becomes conditioned into a relaxed and calm state that carries forth in your day-to-day life, allowing you to better handle situations as they may arise. Of course, you need to make it a regular practice, and not just meditate on days you "think" something bad may happen.

What came with the course. "Simple Meditation for Beginners" is broken into four parts - one per week. You get an instructional eBook for each week to help you develop meditation skills gradually, as well as a course manual (which gives you an overview of the entire process) and five guided meditation MP3s. You also get a virtual journal to record your progress (I was not too into this idea, but eventually came around to seeing the benefits).

In breathing meditation you will have to focus on your breath and only on your breath and in that way still your mind. But in the beginning it may be difficult not to get distracted by your own thoughts trying to steal your attention. But as anything else, it takes practice. But luckily the progress is quite fast and you will be able to see your own development after only a couple of day's meditation. Of course when you make it a habit and practice daily, you will really be able to feel the benefits of meditation and hopefully reach your goal.

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.

For beginners, and trained as well, it can be very helpful to listen to meditation audio recordings that can guide you through the practice. Listening to music and nature sounds can also help you relax and find peace.So start your meditation practice and see how your life and health improves.
