Meditation For Beginners - Where To Start

By Gilbert M. Smith





Slowly, meditation is detaching from its image that it is a strange spiritual custom practice by ascetics and monks in Asia. Some famous people and personalities who meditate include Gwyneth Paltrow, Rivers Cuomo, and David Lynch. Meditation helped military veterans deal with their post traumatic stress disorder. An increasing number of research shows that meditation has a noticeable effect on human's brain that promotes different types of health and wellness. People who are interested may need to overcome the hurdles of meditation such as the perception that it is hard, painful, time-consuming and complicated - and religious.



Things I wanted to accomplish. Meditation was important to me because I didn't know how to relax. Also, I was having some issues with self-acceptance, and also encountering road blocks when it came to achieving some personal goals. (These were the things that I needed to work on. Your list may be different. Whatever the case may be, you need to take the time to create a list of your meditation goals. That way, you will be able to focus your meditations on your own circumstances.)



What came with the course. "Simple Meditation for Beginners" is broken into four parts - one per week. You get an instructional eBook for each week to help you develop meditation skills gradually, as well as a course manual (which gives you an overview of the entire process) and five guided meditation MP3s. You also get a virtual journal to record your progress (I was not too into this idea, but eventually came around to seeing the benefits).



In breathing meditation you will have to focus on your breath and only on your breath and in that way still your mind. But in the beginning it may be difficult not to get distracted by your own thoughts trying to steal your attention. But as anything else, it takes practice. But luckily the progress is quite fast and you will be able to see your own development after only a couple of day's meditation. Of course when you make it a habit and practice daily, you will really be able to feel the benefits of meditation and hopefully reach your goal.



Minuses. For people (like myself) who are interested in learning about the deeper points of meditation (like the chakras and transcendentalism, for example), the course seemed a bit simplistic. Sure, I learned the basics... but I was left with the feeling that I needed to continue on in my studying if I wanted to truly grasp all that meditation had to offer me. This course is most definitely "for beginners," as it states, and you will have to do further research if you want to progress on your meditation journey.



For beginners, and trained as well, it can be very helpful to listen to meditation audio recordings that can guide you through the practice. Listening to music and nature sounds can also help you relax and find peace.So start your meditation practice and see how your life and health improves.
