Meditation: Simple and Practical Suggestions

Namaste,

Growing research in meditation indicates that meditation can offer multiple benefits including, harmony in brainwave patterns, muscle relaxation, lowered blood pressure, reduced heart rate, as well as increased blood flow to the brain. Having received many benefits from meditation myself, I want to make sure that others can also receive these benefits. That’s why I want to share a video and transcript of the first track in the Simple Meditations CD

Check out the video:

If you prefer the transcript:

Meditation is perhaps one of the best gifts that you can offer yourself. We often think that meditation is to bring the mind to have no thoughts whatsoever. This creates high expectations that are hard to live up to. Instead I would like to invite you to think of meditation as being with what is in other words meditation is to learn to be and to accept this moment just as it is/ Meditation deepens the intimate connection between you and your true nature. Please keep in mind that the most difficult part in meditation is to actually take the time to do it. So, give yourself the time to practice meditation by trusting that the world will be able to survive without you while you meditate.
When you are meditating relax and know that most likely distractions will happen, so when you get distracted it is very important not to struggle and not to judge yourself, just come back to the technique. It doesn’t matter how many times you get distracted, just keep coming back with no strain , no struggle and no self-judgment. This is very helpful in meditation. It is also very helpful in life.
