Meditation will help improve your
concentration, increase self-awareness and improve your mental health by banishing
negative emotions and stress. It is a chance for you to turn off your
thoughts and just get lost in your self. A lot of people are intimidated by meditation
because they don’t understand what happens after they close their eyes. The answer is, nothing. That is the beauty of
it. There is no wrong way to meditate. Clear your mind and just surrender to your
body. If a thought comes into your head,
acknowledge it, let it flutter away and then center your self again. The more you practice
the easier it will be to
clear your mind, and those intrusive thoughts will become less common.
Basic Steps of Meditation:
- Find a comfortable quiet space
- Sit down with your legs crossed
- Lower your arms to your side
- Close your eyes
- Clear your mind
- Focus on your breathing
- Begin meditation
Your first attempts will be awkward. But just remember that meditation
is all about you. So if something isn’t
working abandon it. And like everything
else in life it takes practice. But if
you stick with it I think you will be surprised at the results.

Loved your presentation. I am definitely working on being more at ease. But oddly it takes practice to relax
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI need to put aside some time to practice meditating. With the end of the semester coming up so fast, having a moment of relaxation would be perfect in order to de-stress.
What a delivery my man. I thought your presentation was both entertaining and informative. Not just in the scholastic "he got the assignment" kind of way, but in the personal "oh shit this is actually interesting, I think I'm going to try it" kind of way.
ReplyDeleteAs a currently unmedicated survivor of the ADHD epidemic, I am regularly looking for things to help me keep some semblance of order in my head. I had a close friend briefly introduce me to meditation back in high school, but I wasn't nearly open minded enough to see it as something more than a novelty.
I want to thank you for bringing these ideas back into the foreground at a time when I could really use some peace and order.
