Finding The Best Meditation Technique

By Virginia Hughes


Meditation has huge benefits. It helps with the mind as well as the body. Some people do this for relaxation, and others find that they have got into a habit with this because of their spiritual beliefs. Then there are people who begin meditating because they say that it helps with insomnia, weight loss and psychological aspects. However, one must have the right meditation technique.

Some people say that they don't have time to include all of these techniques into their lives. However, it is just 10 minutes a day. However, people do lead stressful lives with work and children that they have to look after. One way of looking at it is that if you do include those 10 minutes you will be introducing more time into your life.

Most people think of using the form of concentration or the mindfulness technique. These are most widely recognized and they are successful. However, it will depend on what works for you best. You may find that you can meditate by simply walking into the garden every morning and smelling the roses or hearing the sound of the birds.

Some people like to combine techniques. This especially works well in the beginning when folks may be frustrated. However, it is important that you don't allow feeling of frustration enter your mind because this is going to set you back. This takes time and patience. Often it works best if you set yourself goals.

Psychologists also find that this is helpful if certain patients set themselves goals and get into a routine. It is especially good for those folks who are anxious or depressed when they start off with the mindfulness technique. This is something that was introduced by psychologists, based on the Buddhist movement to help Borderline personality disorder patients.

When borderline personality patients have a reaction, they find that their thoughts will wander, but when they start to meditate like this, they will improve a great deal. This has also helped addicts and those with eating disorders. When you wake up early and start to meditate like this, you will find that you are immediately entering the world, feeling less stressed.

For the technique of concentration, one has to focus on various things. This could be listening to your breath or a mantra. You could watch something or start to count something so that you get into a certain frame of mind and this is what will get you to that certain point. It can take time, so you can also set goals for yourself, doing this for a few minutes at one point and then building up the time.

There are a lot of things that you can do in order to get started. You may want to find a teacher, because this is one approach and something that many people opt for. You will meet others in the class who will be able to motivate you. You may also be able to form a group, which can be a nice thing when you struggle to do this on your own. There are also a lot of good tunes that come from the internet. You can download these and play them at any point. A lot of people with insomnia, for example play something like this with their headphones plugged in. This helps them relax and get to sleep.
