Master the Art of Meditation and Make It Work for You
Meditation is an art and a practice that many people have come to
master in their lives, and it has been proved to work. Meditation has a way of
improving all areas of your life, including the social and spiritual areas of
your life. Just as laughter is medicine, mediation is even a better medicine to
the body and soul. Those who have made meditation to be part of their lives can
testify to this. Just as you need to master the art of swimming or working out
so that it can work for you, you need to master the art of meditation.
The first thing you need to ensure is that you observe consistency in
your meditation. The body works with patterns and rhythms, and this is no
exception. No wonder you are advised to have specific meal times so that your
metabolic system can adjust, specific sleeping time and duration so that your
sleep cycle will adjust and so many other patterns every day. In the same way,
the body adjusts itself to the pattern of meditation you have.
Therefore, if you meditate at the specific times you have set, the body
responds more and less resistance is experienced. In fact, the body switches
itself to meditation mode when the specific time comes. Therefore, you get more
out of your meditation times.
When it is time for meditation, ensure that there are no distractions
around you. You should ensure that you are totally secluded from every other
thing that can take your attention even for a split second. You are the one who
knows what your routine is like, and you know the time of the day or night when
meditation can be possible with the optimum quietness and peace. Also, the
place in which you do your meditation matters. You should do it in a room which
you can make a bit dark (do not do meditation in a very bright room or a very
dark room).
Also, it should be a room which is conducive for meditation. Make it
very comfortable when you want to meditate by clearing all stuff (for instance
if it is in your bed room) and even make it better by lighting scented candles.
Make it peaceful by even including a live aquarium or a fountain.
Use meditation music for that soothing effect. Also, do not make
meditation hard by doing it at times when you are tired and sworn out; make it
a tradition for you to first take a nice, long, hot bath or do it when you have
woke up in the early morning.
