Getting The Most From Your Meditation Practice

If you’re not yet aware, meditation has a wealth of benefits that can help you live a more peaceful, harmonious and joyous life. Regular meditation practice can help you achieve a greater sense of self-awareness and inner calm, and a deeper connection with higher consciousness.

To get the most from your meditation practice there are 7 simple steps to help you achieve positive results. To fully benefit from this enlightenment you don’t have to meditate for hours on end. Simply keep on doing whatever works for you.

1. Breathe Deeply

The breath is one of the most important aspects of meditation. Although it is possible to use objects, colors and mantras to provide a focus point during meditative practice, simply focusing on the breath is enough. Pay close attention to the familiar rhythmic in and out sequence of your breathing, and let go of everything else. Breathe slowly, deliberately and deeply to allow more oxygen to flow.

2. Let Negativity Go

As you focus on your breathing let all thoughts float up to the surface of your mind, and simply let them go. If your mind begins to wander don’t get caught up in negatively criticizing yourself. Just focus on the breath again and relax. This process usually requires a fair amount of patience and practice. Let go of the negative struggle to get it right, and trust that you’ll get there at the perfect divine time for you.

3. Welcome Spiritual Support

Inviting an enlightened being to join you in your meditation is a powerful way to maintain focus. You can visualize Buddha, Jesus, Mother Mary, Ganesha or any spiritual deity joining your meditation circle. You can also invite your own spiritual guides. Being in divine company will have a positive and uplifting effect on the way that you feel, and on your concentration.

4. Just Be

Meditation is a ‘being’, and not a ‘doing’ thing. The idea is that you completely relax and allow everything from your reality to fall away, so that you become one with the Universe. This powerful mindful practice will reward you with an inner feeling of peaceful calm and a deep sense that everything is as it should be.

5. Make Meditation Your Happy Place

As you begin to experience the blissful calm of inner tranquility you will start to appreciate how magical meditation is. Every time that you make time for regular meditation practice you can find this happy place. This is where you can come to let go of the stress of the day, and to reconnect with your authentic self.

6. Trust And Believe

Once you are comfortable with your meditation practice you will have a greater understanding of how the process benefits you. Continued trust and belief in the process will help you find even more benefits. After a while you may want to try out new meditation techniques, or to extend the length of time that you practice. Follow your own spiritual guidance and trust that you are on a journey of self-discovery that is for your highest good.

7. Keep On, Keeping On

To really get the most from meditation, persistence is essential. As with any new skill that you acquire, you need to put in the time to perfect the action. Regular daily meditation practice doesn’t have to take more than 5-10 minutes. If you can meditate for a longer period of time so much the better. Once meditation is a habit you will begin to see how this positive and beneficial experience impacts on your life. You’ll be stress and anxiety free, and will have complete mind, body and spirit balance.
