#1
Learn How to Relax your Entire Body.
If you can relax every muscle and tension in your body, you will find
peace within your mind. Relaxed body, relaxed mind. Practice sitting for
5 minutes comfortably in a chair (or on the floor) and release any tension in
your body from head to toe. Imagine your body is filled with
the most relaxing healing energy that instantly pushes out ANY tension
that is held inside.
If you're sitting upright, keep your spine vertical yet relaxed, as if your spine were a gently
balanced stack of golden coins, and let you hands rest comfortably
wherever they are. The secret to a relaxed body is enjoying how GOOD it
feels to let go, trust the Universe and let the body breathe for you.
#2 Be
very still and find what is already quiet inside.
When you are practicing meditation, do not move. The body will breathe
for you, yet do not allow yourself to move at all. Be like a
statue. Completely still and unmoving. This statue is relaxed however,
not rigid and full of tension for your ultimate goal is to relax. When
your entire body is totally still, notice what is already quiet inside
you. There is a silence already there. It may help to pretend you
are a statue that just happens to breathe on its own. Don't do
anything.
#3
Let go of the mind The greatest guidance I've found in
learning
how to meditate happened when I discovered how to allow all my mind's
attention to rest, be unfocused, and relax inside. There is no efforting
to relax, that would be redundant. The goal is effortlessness on all
levels of the mind.
#4
Find your vertical center As
you are sitting, being still and resting inside, relax into the
"vertical center" within you. Your body has a center to it, that
runs from the top of your head, down the spinal cord and into the base
of your spine. This is your vertical center. Don't force the mind to
stay here, just allow your mind to relax into this space within.
Eventually everything will come into it, and all mental efforting will
cease.
#5
Be the Watcher
When thoughts arise, just watch them. They come and they go. Notice how
you release them as quickly as they come. Watch and notice your
thoughts without getting caught in them. Whatever
distractions that arise, just give them space. Practice being unfocused
pure presence. You are simply being completely empty, quiet and free.
The state of pure unbounded consciousness is your natural state.
#6 You
are experiencing your own Presence.
Just resting into you, the center of your being, you are experiencing your own presence.
This is a sure way to transcend the mind. If your mind needs to focus on
something, focus it on the breath, or
on being unfocused while experiencing your own presence.
This can be a very complicated practice, yet the mind loves a good challenge!
Be extra patient with taming your mind. Any results from meditation
practice may take from 3 days to 3 months to notice any shifts at all.
#7 Be
Gentle with Your Progress Even
if you have been "meditating" for years and you feel you're not getting any
benefit from it, be gentle. This is a major achievement to train the mind. It's
a massive divine process of letting go of ALL egoic efforting to get somewhere,
and just to relax into being present to the stillness that resides at our core.
The mind is used to always focusing on something. The only way to
stop it from constantly wandering here and there is by allowing it to be deeply
unfocused. Unfocusness is the quality of simply being present to your BEING.
Remember inner peace is always a choice...
Learning how to meditate and
master your mind may take you months and even years without the
proper guide. If you have the right guidance you can experience
AMAZING results instantly!

below will show you how to experience peace with yourself in a
matter of minutes...enjoy!

ENLIGHTENED BEINGS GUIDE TO MEDITATION PERSONAL TIPS
Learning how to meditate is the
essential foundation to true inner peace.
When you find peace within, the outer world becomes a living
reflection of this peaceful state.
Be VERY patient with yourself
and always congratulate yourself on what you've done. Positive
reinforcement breeds confidence and furthers your practice.
The rewards of meditation
don't come instantly. They always show up much further down the
road in your life and will have many surprising rewards.
When you have decided to become the master of your mind,
you will also discover how to master every area of your life.
Find stillness in those times
of chaos, and you'll be more able to manifest every day.
Total devotion to yourself and constant self-love allows you to
relax into anything that arises.
The secret to living a life
of peace comes from quieting the mind. It's not about controlling it,
yet learning how to let the love in.
Learning meditation empowers us to hold the mind still so that we
can focus on attracting a more enlightened experience of life.
There's nothing
you need to do to actually
"meditate". Just relax and be.
Simply being unfocused
and experience your own presence is a state of non-efforting. This
non-efforting is soooo divinely blissful, that you will know
you're on the right path when you catch a tiny glimpse of it.
The mind only knows how to wander so it will need some structure
to guide it into stillness. Stillness feels like death to the ego
and on some level it is...
if the mind cannot stay present to being unfocused always come
back to the breath. Focus of the sensation of air passing
in and out of your nostrils you can
learn how to calm the mind.
There are basically two
kinds of meditation,
the
traditional and the non-traditional.
Traditional meditation techniques would include
the
repetition of an affirmation such as chanting
a mantra, or perhaps following your breath,
gazing into a candle flame etc. These are done
for the sole purpose of training the mind so that it just GIVES UP
and falls into the present moment. These techniques use
a fixed experience inside or outside the body, such
as a thought or idea, to center and still the mind.
With the non-traditional approach, anything and
everything you do can become a meditation.
Walking to the bus stop, making dinner,
washing your clothes, eating, etc.
These everyday experiences become
meditative when you bring a mindfulness
and a fullness of your being into your experience.
How much consciousness and presence
can you have while you're washing the dishes?
Feeling the warm water run across your hands,
the sound of scrubbing the pot, this too is meditation.
