I want to learn meditation or relaxation techniques?

Question

I want to learn meditation or other relaxation techniques. Can anyone give me tipes to get started?

Answer 1

First off, you have to set aside time in your daily life for this, i'd say about 20 minutes or so. Then find a place where you know you won't be disturbed when you're meditating, like out in a yard, or a sun room. When you've gotten that figured out, you can then go on to the actual meditation part. you don't need to bend yourself into some crazy positions or anything, just sit however you feel comfortable. next, close your eyes, or if you prefer, keep them slightly open. take deep breaths as you try to clear your mind of everything you're thinking about. it will take some practice but once you can do that, you will find yourself in the most peaceful state of bliss you have ever experienced. when you're done meditating, don't just stand up as fast as you can. take two deep breaths and slowly stand up as you begin to re analyze where you are. it might also help to have some quiet soothing ambiance playing.

Hi!



To get started with relaxation, you will probably want to try some different techniques to see which ones are the most effective for you. Each individual will respond in unique ways to different types of relaxation - some kinds of relaxation will work better for you than others.



Relaxation is a skill that you can become better at with practice. When you are learning to relax, it is usually best to start with short sessions (5 - 10 minutes or so) and work your way up to longer sessions.



Relaxation techniques usually involve some sort of deep breathing and mental focus to calm the mind. They often include exercises to relax the body, such as stretching or progressive muscle relaxation.

Guided meditation demonstration video, meditation music, and books about Falun Gong are free to download from the URL listed below. If you need any help, contact a local practitioner in your area for free instructions. Good luck.



Falun Gong is a unique Buddhist School, found in 1992 by Master Li Hongzhi in China. About 100 million people practice in over 80 countries worldwide. Falun Gong is an ancient practice for the body, mind, and spirit based upon the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong consists of five sets of powerful exercises.



Falun Gong, Tibetans, other Buddhists, and Christians have been persecuted in China. The most offensive human right violation is the organ harvesting from the Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Answer 6

Try this very simple, yet powerful meditation in the article 'Effortless Meditation' at http://www.awaken2life.org/published-articles/74-effortless-meditation.html

It can be done for a couple minutes or an hour.



Also of possible interest is a 15-minute audio podcast episode called 'The Art of Meditation' (ep. 6) at http://www.awaken2life.org/podcast-more-oom.html but you would need to register first to get access to these older episodes.



Namaste,

Answer 7

sahaja yoga can take you to a peaceful state we call thoughtless awareness where you are completely aware but there is no thought and your mind becomes completely relaxed. Is the most relaxing peaceful experience I have every had, and I experience it every day.

Answer 8

You can simply start by inhaling then exhaling. Do it with your mouth like whistling instead of breathing too deeply which pressures your chest.



Simultaneously, declare in your mind "peace of mind" or "relaax"
