Meditation
Reform Your Mind
You want to reform your mind?
However you do not know where to begin?
That's okay.
I will show you the way.
Everything you think about and do has brought you to where you are now, so what you think about and do must change if you want your reality to change.
Whether our lives are constructive or destructive lies in our own hands, you must dive deep inside yourself and examine the mind in great detail.
There are methods to doing this and I will break it down for you into the simplest form possible.
You will receive a step by step guide and understand the methods of meditation.
How do I go about it?
How do I gain liberation and set my soul at bay.
How do I change?
What steps must I take?
There are two ways to do this...
You want to transform your habitual ways to more various ones.
Analytical meditation means to familiarize ourselves with new ideas and mental attitudes.
The other settled meditation focuses the mind on a chosen object.
In our normal way of life, we let ourselves be controlled by powerful thoughts and emotions, which in turn give rise to negative states of mind.
We must delibarately take a stand to reverse these tendencies and replace them with new habits.
We tend to be controlled by our mind, following it along its self centred path.
Meditation is the process whereby we gain control over the mind and guide it in a more virtuous direction.
An idea of your best self must be acted out into the universe, reflected in our thoughts and actions, it must become an actual state of being.
When you focus on a chosen object, it can be a mental quality like patience, which we work at cultivating within ourselves by means of meditative contemplation, cultivated through the rational process of analysis.
It can also be rhythmic movement of our breath, which we focus on to still our restless minds.
Our spiritual journey is an everlasting one, we must choose our path with care, ensuring that it encompasses all the methods that lead us to our goal.
Our mind as it is now, is completely scattered to external objects, due to which it is powerless, our thoughts are like running water in every direction, but just as water, when channelized, becomes powerful, so is with our minds.

Types of Meditation
There are many types of meditation and relaxation techniques that have meditation components. All share the same goal of achieving inner peace.
Ways to meditate can include:
-
Guided meditation. Sometimes called guided imagery or visualization, with this method of meditation you form mental images of places or situations you find relaxing.
You try to use as many senses as possible, such as smells, sights, sounds and textures. You may be led through this process by a guide or teacher.
-
Mantra meditation. In this type of meditation, you silently repeat a calming word, thought or phrase to prevent distracting thoughts.
-
Mindfulness meditation. This type of meditation is based on being mindful, or having an increased awareness and acceptance of living in the present moment. In mindfulness meditation, you broaden your conscious awareness. You focus on what you experience during meditation, such as the flow of your breath. You can observe your thoughts and emotions. But let them pass without judgment.
-
Transcendental meditation. Transcendental meditation is a simple, natural technique. In this form of meditation, you silently repeat a personally assigned mantra, such as a word, sound or phrase, in a specific way. This form of meditation may allow your body to settle into a state of profound rest and relaxation and your mind to achieve a state of inner peace, without needing to use concentration or effort.
-
Yoga. You perform a series of postures and controlled breathing exercises to promote a more flexible body and a calm mind. As you move through poses that require balance and concentration, you're encouraged to focus less on your busy day and more on the moment.
Elements of Meditation
Different types of meditation may include different features to help you meditate.
Some of the most common features in meditation include:
-
Focused attention. Focusing your attention is generally one of the most important elements of meditation.
Focusing your attention is what helps free your mind from the many distractions that cause stress and worry. You can focus your attention on such things as a specific object, an image, a mantra, or even your breathing.
-
Relaxed breathing. This technique involves deep, even-paced breathing using the diaphragm muscle to expand your lungs. The purpose is to slow your breathing, take in more oxygen, and reduce the use of shoulder, neck and upper chest muscles while breathing so that you breathe more efficiently.
-
A comfortable position. You can practice meditation whether you're sitting, lying down, walking, or in other positions or activities. Just try to be comfortable so that you can get the most out of your meditation. Aim to keep good posture during meditation.
-
Open attitude. Let thoughts pass through your mind without judgment.
