Meditation is a practice that has a goal of getting rid of tensions in our body because it is not desirable feeling. When we practice sitting, we tend to relax the whole body. As you start the routine, you will gradually feel the parts where tension is present, and you can consciously target these parts with thoughts of relaxation. The best thing about meditation is that the feeling of relaxation propagates throughout your whole body and reaches your mind, thus it has the potential to improve your mental state.
Key Takeaways:
- When we relax while meditating, we are not dealing with the problems of yesterday or tomorrow.
- If a thought comes, don’t try to push it away, just let it pass and stay in the present moment.
- Use an alarm clock while meditating so you aren’t constantly checking the time.
“I am not meditating. I am not doing anything, I am just being. Clear, open, not fighting against anything, not closing anything, not trying to wish away anything, not trying to get anything. Just here, natural.”
