How to Meditate for Beginners: My 5 insights from 14 months of meditation

This is my surprising personal experience with meditation over the last 14 months.  

Breathe in, Breathe out. Sadhguru's booming voice echoes in the back of my mind.

"Hmm last night my breathing was a bit erratic.."

Breathe in, Breathe out.

"I wonder if my breathing is always like that when I drink wine?" 

Breathe in...

"Oh, I need to buy a nice bottle of wine for Linda for her birthday."

Breathe out...

"Did I even RSVP for Linda's birthday party? I better check as soon as this meditation ends."

Breathe in...

This was my meditation experience for several years but I was still proud of my ability to sit still for 15 minutes, racing thoughts be damned! Then I fell sick and the thoughts were darker, more ominous and I didn't want them intruding. In fact, I wanted those 15 minutes to be free from anger, anguish and self flagellation. I desperately needed to quieten my mind. What started out as an indulgence now became a mission. Mission impossible, frankly, as all the expert guidance failed me. 

I followed the recommended “Beginner’s guide to meditation”, the “Ten steps to better meditation”, the “Three secrets of meditation”, the “Four insights to serene meditation” but nothing worked. My wayward monkey mind did what it wanted to do: run around out of control, screaming everything I didn't want to hear. 

I decided I had to figure it out myself, after all we are all unique and perhaps I was truly "special" in that I needed my own set of rules and guide to meditation. After three months of trying a new trick and tactic daily I finally reached my very own nirvana, a quiet mind for a whole entire 15 minutes! Then I grew that to 20 minutes and can now easily cross 30 minutes in a blink. Here's how I did it and maybe some of these insights through trial and torture can help you too, enjoy!

1. Start with Joy: 

Experts say, "focus on a mantra or breathing as step 1 and bring wandering thoughts back to breathing." That didn't work for me. So I thought, let me start with something simpler, like replacing the negative thoughts with joyful thoughts. Before meditating, I would pick one joyful topic to try and focus on during the next 15 minutes. A vacation, my daughter's baby antics or another moment of joy from my past. I would then focus on just that one memory stream while trying to stay on my breathing. That took weeks but I got there and my 15 minutes would warm my heart, leaving me smiling, which was a great start!

Tip: find something that makes you smile, from the birth of your child to the smell of coffee first thing in the morning, and let all your thoughts during meditation be about that one joyful experience. 

2. Try Gratitude: 

I had been reading about the power of gratitude and decided to try that as a variation. Before starting meditation I would pick a series of things I was grateful for, and during my meditation I would vividly thank the higher power for those blessings. From silly things like my grades at Wharton to serious things like gratitude for having limbs (post reading the book "Me before You"). That brought a different level of calm acceptance of my current health crisis. A sense of "I'm so blessed, this is just a blip in the grand story of my life.”

Tip: make a list of what you're grateful for, from warm breakfast on a cold morning to having a job that pays and let all your thoughts during meditation be filled with gratitude.

3. Move to a Single Thought: 

I had now mastered my devilish mind to stay focused on the stream of thoughts I wanted, whether joy or gratitude.  Next step was to see if I could control it enough to focus on one single thought, instead of a string or stream. That was significantly tougher. What finally worked was finding a meaty enough thought to wrap my entire energy and emotions around. One such thought that became my best friend was "I'm healing" Breathe in ...I'm healing ...Breathe out ...Not "I want to heal or I will heal" but “I am healing.” A definitive, solid, meaningful thought which my monkey mind could focus on too. That became my mantra for the entire 15 minutes. 

Then something strange happened. 

My mind just stopped still in the middle of a Breathe in...there was nothing there. Just my breathing. 

Tip: find what is troubling you the most and come up with a two to three word sentence that assumes your troubles are going away. Repeat those two to four words throughout the meditation. “I’m getting thinner,” “I’m earning more,” “I’m loved” are some examples.  

   

4. Look Inside: 

My mind had literally just stopped. Right in the middle of a “Breathe in.” In that pure moment of quiet I looked inside for the first time. 

I met "me". 

Now that must sound quite strange if you haven't met "you" but I promise you when you do, it’s quite disorienting. Nothing and yet completely like seeing your new baby for the first time when it's born, if you’re a mother. You've felt the baby kick around, probably sang or talked to it and felt its toes, but seeing it for the first time there's a sense of wonder. Like, "Wow, nice to meet you finally." I wanted to meet "me" again and again, to get to know "me". It gave my meditation a a whole new sense of purpose. It wasn't about breathing or thinking or stillness or healing, it was about finally knowing my essence. I had to feel that again! 

Tip: Once you have focused on a few words, relax as if trying to sleep sitting up. Fewer the words easier the trance like state, almost like you are lulling your mind to sleep!

5. Be One with You:

The next meditation was different, my monkey mind was back at it, trying so hard to find "me". It didn't happen. Like a shy cat, "me" went back into hiding. It took another dozen meditations before I was able to connect again with that inner essence, that energy that is “me.” What it took was the realization that the only way to touch that core part of me was to not try at all. To let go, to be in a zone of "I am nothing, I have nothing to do, I have nowhere to go. I am just a breath." 

I finally understood the purpose of Breathe in, Breathe out. It's so you can connect with just your breath, as that connection to air is the airstrip to flying inside. And once you have flown inside, there's a whole new World waiting to be discovered. In fact, it's addictive as you come out with incredible creativity, efficiency and a new sense of wonder and purpose. 

Tip: When the mind sleeps, “you” wake up. Funnily, when “you” wake up, your mind wakes up too! At some point your mind continues to sleep through and that’s pure bliss. To get there, try to imagine before you Meditate that you are literally just air with no purpose, no destination, no boundaries, no name and definitely no task lists! You are feather light with no body and no mind. You are pure existence. Then go into meditation. It will change something inside that makes it easier to find “you”.

I hope you too can experience, what I believe, is the most amazing adventure I’ve just started! If you’ve been meditating, please share your experiences and tips for meditation so we can all take this beautiful journey inwards together!

6 Proven Ways to Increase Your Happiness

6 Ways to Increase your

Happiness

Mindfulness Meditation Scientifically has been proven to Increase Your Happiness.

Happiness is prime topic today. You can't read important blog websites like The Huffington Post and MindBodyGreen without obtaining ideas and methods for achieving well-being.

Yet some specialists claim these blog sites are missing out on one essential element. Facts!

 

A lot of articles are intuitively true, yet due to recent clinical research study one must take a look at that articles to see how they justify themselves with some type of data.

 

Gratification Daily is a blog site that chronicles scientific details on wellness, empathy, and general health -- with helpful takeaways for viewers. The web website was introduced in mid-June with a considerable number of psychologists and scientific research study journalists including favourable posts.

 

Here's some vital things we're learning concerning happiness through scientific research:

Gratefulness (Gratitude): Scientific research has established that gratitude can significantly raise your happiness levels and shield you from unfavorable thoughts, stress and anxiety, as well as clinical depression. Frequently, it can happen that a single occurrence can throw our entire day off and we can miss out on far more pleasurable parts of the day. With this recognition that our mind has the tendency to hang on to the negative, we can intentionally concentrate on the best parts of our day to counter this inequality.

 

 

1. Maintain a gratitude journal

List 6 points you really feel happy for every single day. Maintain it simple and also quick. See just how your viewpoint adjusts after a few weeks.

2. Service/Compassion:

While we generally really feel worn out by our to-do lists and are short of time, scientific research suggests that supplying your time to another person increases your personal sense of happiness.

Relationships are vital to happiness due to the fact that social links are a major forecaster of health. As an example, less social connection is also worse for your health than cigarette smoking or high blood pressure. When links with other people exist, it boosts emotional as well as physical wellness, even improvinf resistance and longevity

 

Technique: Smile

 

Research study reveals that when you smile (whether it's a genuine or fake) you actually feel much better, reduce your personal stress, and also uplift others! Specifically how? Your smile turns on the smile muscles in others.

 

3. Required: Schedule regular play time

 

Enjoy fun time with your kids, or even play like a kid. See if you cannot have a great laugh everyday. Eat a cupcake. See Gratification Daily's listing of pointers for more small techniques to bring pleasure into your day.

 

4. Do not run after happiness:

By chasing after happiness, we often chase it away. Obsessing on exactly what we want to have in our lives and then ruminating afterwards when factors do not go as intended can lead to a horrible vicious circle. In a number of new investigations, the more value people put on happiness, the less satisfied they ended up being. In addition, another research study suggests that happiness is established by the frequency, not its intensity, of favorable emotions. When we emphasise intense positive feelings, we examine our experiences against a higher ideal which makes it more likely for us to be disappointed.

 

Approach: Rest with uncomfortable feelings

 

Sadness and negative experiences aren't something to be avoided. Actually, feeling the suffering can be a way of combating it. Go easy on yourself. Treat yourself as you would a good friend, with compassion and understanding.

 

5. Meditate

If you truly desire to be happy, meditate. Or else you will stroll through life responding to every last thing. Reflection is the answer.

Then if every person has the ability to have appreciation and space in their minds to foster connections as well as work together towards more tranquility-- i.e. not having your buttons pushed by whatever every little thing that takes place -- after that you're likely to have a far better direction to your life.

 

Method: Body scan meditation

 

Due to the fact that you have probably been glued to your screen today, take a little step in the direction of paying our body the attention it calls for. Take into consideration spending a few mins-- daily, if you can-- to uncover your individual reality. Not to evaluate your body or fret concerning it or push it harder at the gym. Just be. Attempt the body scan from a Mindful perspective. You can additionally try a guided body scan Meditation clip below.
