Beginner's Guide to Meditation: Meditating the Right Way (ePub)

Description

Do you want to try meditation, but you're not sure where to get started? Do you worry that you won't be able to sit still for long periods or clear your mind? Did you try meditation previously, and it just didn't work for you? Or, maybe you fell out of your routine and wish to start again. If so, Beginner's Guide to Meditation is the guide you need to get started.

Meditation is the practice of training your brain and controlling out-of-control, wandering thoughts. These thoughts drift to the past and future, causing you to obsess and worry. An effective session will help bring you fully into the present and reduce your anxiety about the things in your life you can't control.

Meditation can help you boost your mood, lower cortisol levels, and blood pressure, and help you achieve deeper, more restful sleep. It can increase feelings of well-being and self-worth, as well as a deeper connection with the universe.

This guide will help you learn various methods for focusing your mind, becoming aware of yourself and your surroundings. It includes many helpful tips for finding a relaxing location, inside or outside, choosing what to wear and what you should do with your hands.

You'll also gain insight into the origins of meditation, from its beginnings in ancient Hinduism to its usage in our busy world. You'll learn how current practitioners utilize traditional practices for the hectic schedule of modern life.

These techniques are vital for our fast-paced culture. Every day, your flight or fight mode is activated by stressors like public speaking, awful traffic, conflicts with coworkers, and many others. Your stress reaction being active so often can cause chronic stress, which can lead to many negative side-effects, like high blood pressure and depression.

Meditative practice can give you the tools you need to teach your body coping skills and reduce your stress and the harm it causes you. You can condition your brain to react differently to everyday stressors and improve your overall resiliency.

Some practitioners have been able to achieve heightened awareness and discover a deeper meaning in their lives. Others have found more joy in their daily activities. Each journey is personal and specific to an individual and their goals. This book will help you get started.
