How You Should Meditate at a beginner level.
I honestly feel that even from a health and fitness perspective, you can absolutely turn your life around.
When I say that the best version of yourself what I honestly feel is that meditation has a very crucial part to play in that journey of reaching our maximum potential.
A lot of successful people all over the world have turned to meditation in order to enhance the rest of their lives. A recent study done at UCLA showed that people who meditate have a higher level of clarification in their brains. You’re essentially becoming smarter and your brain’s becoming faster and more active through meditation.
What’s even cooler is that long-term meditation was linked with more gratification. The more you meditate, the more your gratification and the more your processing power. So essentially you can think of meditation as some kind of brain workout where you’re enhancing the power of your brain by just meditating for 10 to 20 minutes per day.
Let’s talk a little bit about my personal experience.
All I do is that I meditate for 30 minutes a day every day before I go to bed. That is all. And this is one of those things where you have to kind of create a habit to actually see the benefits. You’re not going to see any benefits if you just meditate once in a while. The actual benefit of meditation is, an increased level of happiness will only happen after you meditate every single day.
Now the first thing you need to understand is that everyone’s got their own definitions of what meditation is. It’s a very subjective concept.
A step-by-step guide on how to meditate.
The first is that you sit down in a quiet place, ideally in complete darkness and you fold your legs, you sit cross-legged and you just keep your arms comfortable. However, you want, you can even sit down on a chair if you find that comfortable and then you can begin your meditation process. Mindfulness meditation is essential. You’re taking deep breaths, you inhale completely and exhale and all you’ve got to concentrate on is your breath and you do this for about 30 minutes. Now the trick here is to avoid thinking about 30 other things. So you consciously try focusing on your breath and do this for 30 minutes every single day. Even if 30 minutes seems like a lot, you can start doing it for about 10 minutes a day, but the key is to just get yourself to do this.
Every time you open your eyes after a meditation session, I promise you you’ll be a lot calmer and the world will feel different. Yeah. Give it a try.
But rule number one is that you just create a habit, push yourself to meditate and make sure you meditate for at least 10 minutes every single day. That’s all you need to know.
