What is Meditation?
Simply put, it’s a technique that allows us to take a break from our mind which tends to jump from thought to thought. The actual goal of meditation, reaching a point where the mind is still, can take a lot of time and practice to master.
How do I begin Meditating?
It can be quite difficult to simply stop thinking, that is why meditation is a very gradual process but offers endless benefits along the way.
To begin with, simply observe your thoughts. As soon as you begin to observe your thoughts as a bystander they begin to slow down. The key here is to observe them without attachment or judgement, as if you were a neutral bystander watching what is happening. As you repeat this exercise you can start to develop a separation between you and your thoughts. As you continue this, your thoughts and mind will become quieter making it easier to reach this meditative state. Over time it will become easier to enter these meditative states and they will become deeper.
