Inducing Consciouness through Meditation

There many states of consciousness. Meditation induces a state in which the mind is more quite and peaceful. I use the method below to induce this quiet and peaceful state.

I usually meditate shortly after waking in the morning and before I sleep at night. I will also use brief periods throughout the day to breath deeply and try to quiet my mind to induce a more focused state.

This is very important to me. To me, it is a very easy because I have been practicing since 2004. The good news is you can learn how rather quickly and the more you practice, the easier it gets.

1. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted for 15 - 30 minutes.

2. Choose a comfortable chair, bed, couch. You want to be comfy, but not so comfy that you fall asleep.

3. Choose a position: sitting, lying down, or some sort of yoga position.

4. Set a timer for 15-30 minutes.

5. Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and try to quiet your mind, then let your breath return to normal.

5a “Not thinking” is practically impossible, we are going for “fewer” thoughts.

6. Choose a word or sound that you are comfortable repeating as you exhale (such as OM, or Ahh…shorter words are better.)

7. Use your Mantra word as you exhale. You don’t need to constantly repeat your mantra, do what comes naturally.

8. Start with being grateful for everything you are and have. Put yourself in an attitude of gratitude.

9. Think about things that you want and how amazing your life will be when you get what you want.

10. Turn off the timer, because it is beeping.

There you have it...you just did it. It doesn’t matter what you think or believe...if you do this once or twice a day on a regular basis, you will enjoy the benefits above.

Thanks to Dr. Wayne Dyer, whose books taught me how to meditate. He has many greats books and audio programs out there to help you learn how to meditate. I encourage you to check those out as well as other products after you have practiced for a while. Trust me, you will be nothing but thankful if you do.
