Meditation helps in how you think, developed an algorithm that gathers his thoughts, reduces chaos, compose and spiritual development of each individual. The brain is not switched off during meditation, but block certain information that otherwise would have allow pass.

Chakra meditation. According to Indian medicine chakras (circles, vortices) possess a degree of vibration belonging to the human body, which owns 77 primary energy channels, 7 of which are major.

Anyone could practice meditation, but not everyone would understand its importance. Meditation is considered as a form of complementary medicine at the brain - body relationship. During meditation, the most important is to focus our attention on something specific to him and to direct our thoughts.

Get Ready

To begin the meditation, you first need to choose a place in your home where you feel most comfortable. Let it be a corner that you feel cut off from others and that you can get rid of the daily worries. There is no TV, no radio, cell phone, etc. For beginners, the best is a solo combination, and aroma sticks, essential oils, candles and so on it could only further relax the senses. Once you find such a place you should choose technique posture that would be the most perfect for you. The lotus position is the most used position, but if you can't find yourself in this standard position, you can sit on a chair, lie down in bed, or to walk, it is important to be comfortable for the duration of the meditation.

If you decide to walk in meditation, you can practice it while walking, or in shop or mall, and all the time you need to concentrate on you, and your legs and feet. You could for any lift of a certain foot, or with any lowering to the ground to think of something specific that relaxes you at the moment. In most traditional meditations the eyes are closed.

Different focus evokes different effects that is why it is best to have an object in front of you (eg. a photograph) to concentrate the view, if you meditate with your eyes open or half-open. It is important to focus on your breathing. When you feel that the brain is naughty and asks for something that is not supposed to think at the moment, back his attention to the breath. It is important all the time to exercise a proper breathing. It is recommended that you breathe slower and quieter. Proper breathing should be practiced gradually to reduce the use of the neck, the shoulders and upper chest muscles.

The duration of meditation takes on average 20 minutes a day, but 5-minute meditation can relax and rest. When you begin with meditation it is best the things that usually linger around the head to leave outside and devote exclusively to meditation. There are a few tricks that would get you away of the everyday for at least a few minutes.

Start with meditation

When you take a position that suits you body posture, you need to use imagination and to switch to another dimension. You should prevail with your mind, to establish control over it, and with the soul do not even try because it can not be limited, it is free and will persistently try to take away from the intent. Imagine sitting or lying under a tree in a broad green meadow and eyes are on the sky blue. I hear bubbling river running through the middle of the meadow crickets and birds have somewhere between the broad canopy of trees. Lay calm, breathe slowly, enjoy the beautiful scenery, or close your eyes, pull to yourself, let you keep the senses. When you exhale, imagine that everything is coming out everything that is bothering you and occupies you with every exhale you made you feel lighter and more relaxed. Or imagine you going to a hill, walking towards his height and slowly, slowly climbed it. When you find yourself at that height, sit down, close your eyes, and in a few moments open them and see in from of you. You will see the endless blue, horizon that extends to the whole field. Everything is remote everything is small. Withdraw into yourself and enjoy the moments when you are alone. Keep this thought as long as you can, as long as you enjoy the view in front of you. When you feel that is enough stop with the meditation and go back to the normal duties. Do not judge your meditation skills and techniques. They can be thought. Meditation requires obedience and regularity and if we could we should have a daily practice. Remember that your mind is normal to ask for certain things and distract the things we would like to think. In fact that is the point of meditation, you take a break from daily responsibilities and worries and you shift into a place where you are alone, and does not share it with anyone else.
