Meditation And Fitness
You create what you focus on. Spend some time prior to meditation focusing on your meditation
time. What are you aiming for in your meditation? Is there something you want to meditate on?
Do you have a problem in your life that requires clarity or attention? What are you looking for in
meditating? This is how you prepare your mind and heart to meditate. You don't have to wonder
whereabouts are unknown. You know what you want, and you're moving forward with your eyes
fixed on your inner compass.
2. Make a space conducive to going within
This can help you meditate in a way that inspires you, calms you and gives you peace every time
you go into it. This can be done in a separate room or in a corner of your home. Simpler
decorations encourage calm and peace. You can bring something that inspires you to explore the
space. You can choose a beautiful photograph of nature or a portrait of a saint, or anything that
will remind you of the truth and love you cherish.
Be practical and think about what you might need. Always bring a container of tissues, a water
bottle, a hand towel, and preferably - if you are meditating, ideally - sandpaper. Music can be
played if you wish. Dimmed lighting or candles work well.
People who have created a meditation space tend to be more committed to their practice than
those who don't have one.
3. Get ready for your body
Before you go into meditation, it is important to be clean and free from odours. These odours
can distract you or other people who are meditating together. Put on loose-fitting clothes and
brush your teeth. It's nice to feel clean. Preparing for a trip can feel like a cleansing. You clean
out your body of all the "muck" from the day.
4. Sitting down versus lying down
Research has shown that laying down can cause us to fall asleep and therefore meditation is no
longer effective. Meditation is about being awake and clear. It is important to sit straight up and
be comfortable enough that your body doesn't distract you while you meditate. One of the most
frequently asked questions is whether one should sit in the lotus position to reap the benefits of
meditation. It is confirmed that if we are able to sit straight up with our legs crossed, and our
fingers in mudrah, the kundalini energy within our spines can move more freely. This allows us
to attain deeper levels of consciousness and is a way to help us reach deeper levels of
consciousness. My experience shows that this is possible for many people by practicing
meditation in many other positions. It is better to be comfortable and able to breathe deeply
than to be in a lotus posture and become distracted by the discomfort in your body. This is where
you should be able to find your own path.
5. Clear Your Mind
Meditation is not a way to quieten your mind. Meditation is a way to enter into the stillness that
is already there, buried beneath the 50,000 thoughts most people think every day.
To prepare your mind to be relatively "empty" so that you can concentrate within, write down
all current thoughts, issues, and resolutions. Simply sit down and write everything down until
your mind feels empty. It isn't trying to remember or "hold" any information.
It's like trying to stop your mind thinking by your naked hands. It's exhausting.
You can learn to meditate and your thoughts will flow naturally. You don't need to exert any
effort.
Meditation is an act that allows you to let go, not shutting yourself off.
6. Be open to changing your expectations
You must let go of any expectations you may have about your meditation. Sometimes, we wish
to recreate an experience that we have had in the past because it was so memorable. If we have
a desire to have a similar experience, it can stop meditation from flowing. We might not be able
to move forward with the next step. Let go of expectations to become more open to what is
occurring and what we desire.
7. Concentrate on Your Reason for Meditating
Spiritual desire is what meditation is to us. We need the sun to keep us alive, and spiritual desire
is what we need to maintain our focus in meditation. Your spiritual desire is the root of all things.
If you don't feel the need to, it doesn't mean that you have to view it as a spiritual desire. It can
be your motivation, your intention, or your drive to improve and grow. Whatever you call it: this
type of desire is an inner feeling that sustains you as you meditate.
Take a moment to reflect on your intention, the reason you are sitting down and going inside. It
is important to focus on this and allow yourself to feel it. This feeling of spiritual desire will carry
you all the ways.
