4 Easy Deep Meditation Techniques
Reaching a state of complete bliss is possible
through meditation, but it requires a lot of
practice. Most new practitioners face a lot of
resistance from their overactive mind. Lack of
focus, inability to relax, not being able to
meditate beyond a few minutes are some of the
common problems faced by people who are new to
the practice of meditation. In fact many people
who have been meditating for years also face
problems of lack of concentration.
Meditation Aids
If you are new to meditation or want to take
your meditation to a higher level, you may
require some meditation aids. The following
suggestions could be helpful:
Place a water fountain in your meditation
room
The sound of falling water has a calming affect
on the mind. Placing a fountain in your
meditation room can help build a soothing and
peaceful environment for you to meditate
in.
Burn meditation candles and incense sticks
Replacing artificial light with candle light
can have a soothing affect on your mind. The
sweet scent of incense sticks not only purifies
the air but also acts as a relaxant.
Use a Zen pillow
Using a Zen pillow would make sitting in the
lotus position more comfortable for you. Zen
pillows are made of buckwheat hulls that mould
to the shape of your body.
Listen to subliminal message audio cds
Subliminal messages are suggestions which are
beyond the perception of the conscious mind but
can communicate directly with the subconscious.
In audio Cds subliminal messages are either
hidden behind music or are played in reverse
(mixed with music). Often these messages are
moved above the level of human hearing (20,000
Hz). Listening to such cds while meditating may
help you not only reach a deeper level of
meditation but also clear your mind and stop
your chain of thoughts so that you can enjoy
the blissful state of nothingness.
However these aids will not be able to help you
much if your meditation room is not clutter and
noise free. You must also make sure that there
is no external disturbance during your
meditation session.
