Meditation experts in the world will tell you how it works so magically. For beginners it can get a little tricky. We are interested in meditation but not sure how it works.
Clearly its not science. Its deep exploration of our mind's potential. We accumulate so many thoughts, feelings, emotions, experiences throughout our day and also from our past, that our body acts like a shield to protect us from all of unwanted negativity. However as much as we try to avoid pain or emotional distress, we do carry it - Could be a tight deadline we are working on, an upcoming project proposal, or a deal that we are about to sign, or an event that is going to take place in our house, or financial/family related worry - could be anything. but we don't have time to address our worries and transform them into hope and opportunities.
Meditation gives us time to listen into the feelings within and lets our conscious mind be aware of the rhythms of our hearts. Initially it might seem like we hear nothing. It could be a minor muscle pain in your back, or a headache, or some back spasm, or a catch in your leg, or you probably have a very healthy body and you are already experiencing bliss. Whatever state your life is in, you will be able to sit through with the feeling and address that feeling. By spending time with yourself and listening to what the message could be is the first step in getting closer to deep meditation.
Slowly over time, we will be able to exactly pinpoint what those feelings are - the ones that are most uncomfortable and the ones that we need to release in order to liberate ourselves from the fear or the worry.
To begin with - sit in a comfortable position, with a straight back, and time yourself to may be 10 mins or less. watch your thoughts as they pass by- they are distractions. After you observe your thoughts for a while, slowly tune in to your body and listen in. Its a process where you will have to travel slowly to places within yourself, to understand the different messages coming to your mind. Let everything go. this is the time to understand yourself, the time where you find out what you have within you, the deep treasures that you have brought into this world. Wish for peace and calmness to enter into your being.
