Meditation is a great way to relax and quiet your mind. It can even have beneficial psychological and physical effects.
Meditation is a great stress reducer that can calm you and bring relaxation. Calming meditation can help you sleep better, focus better at work and remain calm throughout the day. You can use meditation to start your day, midday, to end your day or all of the above.
Mantra meditation
The mantra meditation
technique is a great calming meditation method. During mantra
meditation, you mentally (silently) repeat a calming word, or mantra.
The repetition of the mantra will replace all busy thoughts and help you
shut out the outside world, thus calming your mind and body.
Repeat your mantra slowly and steadily, concentrating on its sound as
fully as you can. Repeat it in unison with the natural rhythm of your
breath. Either split it so you repeat half the mantra when you inhale
and the other half when you exhale, or repeat it on both the inhalation
and the exhalation.
As thoughts arise, simply return to the mantra, knowing this is a natural part of the process. Gently bring your attention back again and again, experiencing the internal sound as fully as possible.
Continue for the period of time you set aside for meditation. Come
out of the meditation by taking a few deep breaths and then sitting
quietly to see what you feel. You may feel calm and centered. Or you may
be flooded with old thoughts and feelings from your subconscious, which
might be uncomfortable.
Regardless of your immediate reaction, take comfort in knowing that
regular practice has immense benefits: It enables you to experience the
present moment more fully and to make conscious choices instead of
falling into habitual reactions.
