Meditation
Learn about this transformative practice that will enable you to find more joy in daily living.
What Is Meditation?
It is actually quite difficult to define meditation - it means different things in different traditions and to different people. Simply put, meditation is a tool by which we can transform the mind. So really, meditation is a practice where an individual uses certain techniques - such as Mindfulness or focussing on a particular object - to train their focus and awareness to induce a calm, relaxed state. Meditation encourages a heightened state of awareness, promotes clarity and increases focus.
Learn how to Meditate
But where to begin? It can be completely overwhelming to start meditating, there are so many different techniques and methodologies out there all claiming to be the right one. Should you focus on the breath? Listen to a guided meditation? Do a visualisation? Should you try to have no thoughts? Or focus on just one thought? And then why are you meditating? Is it because you think you should? Do you want to be calmer/more productive/happier/reach spiritual enlightenment?!
Most people who start meditating on their own give up before they begin to truly experience the benefits of the practise. Why? Because meditation is not always easy, in fact, it can very difficult sometimes. Especially if you have no one to guide you. I myself have stopped and started my meditation practice countless times in my life and even now, I still need guidance and encouragement sometimes, This is where a Meditation Coach becomes an invaluable asset, they keep you on track, introduce you to different techniques that will work for you, help you track your progress and you can share your experiences with them.
