How to meditate

There is lots of information, courses, and even books about different types of meditation. Some minds create the science of meditation.

We all want to explore ourselves and share what we experience, and that is good. That’s amazing because many of us have our own interpretation of unexplainable.

The paradoxical thing is that reading or listening to anyone’s experience is useless.
Do not ignore practice, because practice is where true knowledge and mastery come from.

In this post, I am sharing my own experience from my practice of meditation.
Life is meditation.
I meditate all the time, even when I type this text.

Here are some of my notes on what I personally experienced and found to be similar to what many spiritual teachers say.

One of the ways to enter a meditative state that I use and what usually happens during the process.

1. Position your body comfortably in a quiet place and close your eyes.

2. Look, listen and feel how your body breathes.

3. Keep your attention on the breathing process for the next few breaths.
This is how you focus and control your attention.

4. Focus all your inner senses on your palms, feel them and slowly move your inner eyes through your body from your toes up to the top of your head.

5. Scan your body with your inner eyes and relax every part that feels stressed.

6. Your mind might produce lots of thoughts about your life issues, memories and other fears. Do not react to them; notice them, but don’t put much focus on them. Just stay still, whatever you think or physically feel.

7. For any obsessive thought, you can ask yourself, Who am I?
Keep asking yourself and never answer this question.
After some time, you will notice that your mind steps back with the obsessive thought and other thoughts come.

8. Keep your focus on the stillness within you.
There is a point in the center of your mind that is the eye of a storm of your thoughts.
It is the point of stillness in you.
Practice holding your inner focus on that point. It might take some time to master it so it’s better to start as soon as possible;)

I wish you to feel and be yourself.
You are important.

May love be with you!
