An explanation of meditation:

Meditation can be thought of as greatly directed concentration, but a portion of the population whom meditate practice clearing their thoughts from exterior disruptive or hindering ideas. When beginning meditation this is a proper focus to start with and you will greatly benefit if you occasionally continue this method even after you have mastered the basics. After doing this for a while you are ready to begin sharpening your skills with visualization.

Visualization is the imagery of your imagination, The more you try this the more clear the objects will become. I have often discovered where I had lost an item by visualizing where I had placed it but this is just the tip of the ice berg of what you can accomplish with visualization, and this extends to all your senses.

Asking questions of yourself!

You should start looking towards your inner self for resolutions. When you question others for solutions to your dilemmas, they aren’t nearly as interested in producing a worthy answer as you are in receiving one.

As you begin to get more proficient with clearing your mind of external distractions you will become more able to listen to your inner mind for suggestions to specific questions you ask of it. Whether you believe it or not you remember being born and every experience you ever had and all of the situations you have ever dealt with.

This may not be on a conscious level but those memories are still there and are available for your subconscious to utilize in providing answers. It does not only draw on these memories but processes information more rapidly and efficiently than your conscious mind will allow.

Ever become oblivious to the title of an old move you once loved, and after a while it just suddenly came back to you? That was your subconscious surfacing the title for you and this is just one way information served up and provided to you from that other part of your mind.

A way to start meditating now:

Find a place free of noise and other distractions, assume a comfortable position, close your eyes and begin breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth hold your breath for two seconds (or comfortable time frame) between inhale and exhale, this is going to get a little more oxygen to your brain and also help you get into a rhythm.

Maintain breathing in this fashion continuously through the meditation. Now start to visualize a blank painting canvas, no Mona Lisa, no works by Picasso, and no one leaning over the easel with paintbrush in hand. With a little practice you should be able to keep other imagery to a minimum. Now start paying attention to the heaviness of your body and start loosening tension in your muscles.

Every time you exhale relax everything a little more. If you find you have problems relaxing your body parts, tense them for a moment, but not too much you don’t want to cause any cramping, and then release that tension while paying attention to the sensation of letting it go.

Good now you should be able to allow yourself to relax a little more with each exhale. When you feel like you are almost floating or swaying, you have reached self guided light meditation.

Now keep this up for the duration you had set aside previously (use a timer if needed, the ticking will only help with rhythm) and when you are completed you will have just had your first experience with meditation.

You should continue this several times a week for the span of a month, then begin changing your imagery. When the images become detailed you are ready to start using Deep Meditation with directed purpose.

If you begin trying to recall stuff or grasp new ideas that seem to flee from you, allow yourself some time and the solutions will materialize suddenly when you expect it the least, so long as your urge continues for a solution.
