Meditation Is A Workout For The Mind, Like Exercise Is A Workout For The Body

Of course you can learn to meditate on your own. Meditation is a big umbrella term for many different modalities of healing and well being. I usually guide people to start their meditation hourney on focusing on the breath.But more importantly, to realise why we are doing this.

This convinces the mind to become more focused and stedfast on doing this everyday. This is because you realise the benefits to you. I would suggest the free breathing course I have here for you to try. And then take it from there. If you want to get deeper into meditation for healing reasons.

I would suggest watching The Dream Method Webinar. This will help you see what these types of meditation can do for you.

Guided meditations is probably the easiest place to start, but I am not a big fan of guided meditation. It works when you are learning to meditate, but I would start trying to get into breathing meditation very quickly. Ki Gong is one of the quickest ways I found to do this, because you are using the body as well.

You can join the Academy fon a free trial and see if this will work for you. It was a really quick way for me to deal with stress and axnnxiety almost immediately.

There are guided meditations below you can try also.

A solid start would be 5 minutes per day. It is called a practise, because the more you meditate, the better you become at it. Don't give up because you found the first few session really difficult. Persevere and you will thank your previous slef for making that decision.

I do have a short breathing meditation course which you can try which will guide you with 5 minute breathing meditations every day. Click the link below.

Yes it most certainly has been proven to work by having many scientific studies undertaken on meditation.

Click the link below and you will see all the studies I have gathered on the subject.

I needed to get these studies together for the Charity Commission to apporve my Ki Gong practise for elderly people. They required proof so they could approve my charity would actually benefit the elderly people.

Here is an impact report we ran as a charity Brighter Living on elderly community centres. It is a reliable study to show how much of a difference meditation and Ki Gong had on the participants. Click the link below to see the study.

Meditation will give you a different perspective on your thoughts and feelings. Even though it is easy to say 'We Are Not Our Thoughts' and 'We Are Not Our Feelings,' it is difficult to actually know that unless you have started to take the journey inside.

With a regular meditation practise, you will start to realise these statements are true. And you will also begin to recognise that your thoughts are not necessarily your own. These are deep concepts that meditation will help you understand more profoundly.

And finally, you will be able to focus on the thoughts that are positive and add intention to them. And let be the thoughts that are negative and just let them go.

The Tibetans called the mind 'The Monkey Mind'. This is because it jumps all over the place. This is actually natural because like everything in our universe, the mind is designed to keep moving. But we can learn to focus the mind. This is called meditation.

Meditation is called a practise because we have to keep doing it to get better at it. A regular practise of meditation will stop your wandering mind, and start to increase your focus. This happens over a period of time.

Yes. With a regular practise of meditation, you can have a peaceful mind. Being highly sensitive can make your mind run over the same scenario over and over again. I know, I've been there. But when you begin to meditate regularly, this starts to ease up, and eventually stop.

Then your mind becomes peaceful, and your life looks a lot different because of it.

Your mind can be like a time traveller. It travels to the past, and it travels to the future. And sometimes it can be in the present. Your mind and body has a natural yearning to be together. This is natural.

Learning to meditate will help the mind be present with the body much of the time. This means you will feel whole and complete and not stressed because of your wandering mind.

This is mindfulness really. Which actually comes from the Vedas and is originaly known as Sakshi Bav. This means witness mentality. When you are witnessing your mentality frequently, you are in the moment without having to do anything. And this becomes easier with practise.

Your clarity of thought and your peace of mind will grow. You will be able to navigate stressful situations much easier. And problems will become easier to solve. Your body will start to work properly and your brain function will improve.

There are so many good things that will happen when you meditate every day. It is really hard to get started. But it becomes addictive when you get into it. I know. I found it really difficult to get started. I now use Ki Gong to meditate everyday.

Yes mediation can increase empathy and compassion. In fact, many highly sensitive people tend to spend too much time suffering from being over empathetic and compassionate. A regular meditation practise will put everyhing into perspective and help you increase your empathy and compassion without becoming exhausted by it.

Emotional exhaustion is quite common today because our heart chakra goes in and out like a concertina. We can stop that from happening with meditation and be more balanced and centred
