Reflection has been polished all over the planet for millennia. It is a technique that is used to calm the mind and body and release stress. It can also bring focus and clarity, and often, after meditating, the problems you are struggling with are miraculously resolved. Meditation is also known to inspire people to write, and inspire lucrative business ideas, as your subconscious mind comes to light.

 

 A simple form of meditation involves you sitting cross-legged in a quiet room, on a pillow, or on the floor, or in a comfortable chair, making sure your spine is straight. It is recommended that you use the same location every day. It is also suggested that you personalize your space by decorating it with candles, flowers, and photos of the people you love.

 

The idea is to sit quietly with your eyes closed and focus on a point inside your forehead. Try not to think about anything in particular, but also try not to think 'no', allowing your mind to become calm and quiet. If you find that your mind is 'chattering', don't try to control it, just let it complete what it is working on, eventually it will quiet down. It is also recommended for beginners to start with ten to twenty minute sessions each day. After some time of doing this, you will start feeling deep relaxation and pleasure during these sessions.

 

The first step to this self-hypnosis is to sit in a quiet, comfortable place, making sure you are facing a wall about eight feet away from you. Choose a spot or object on that wall, and make that spot or object your focal point. Looking at your center point, begin counting backward from 100, one number for each breath you exhale. While doing this, imagine that you are floating and feeling very relaxed. You may start to feel as if your eyelids are getting heavy and may even start to droop. Allow your eyes gradually to close, and as you keep on counting in reverse,envision that you are going limp like a cloth doll, totally loose, and drifting to a safe and comfortable place. Have been. Stop counting, and just float in place. If any troubling thoughts come into your space, let them out again, and allow yourself to feel safe and relaxed. This technique can help you deal with stress, and release the tension that accumulates during stressful situations.

 

When you're ready to come out of this self-hypnosis, you can either lull yourself to sleep, or you can count from one to three and pass out. First, count one, and prepare yourself to exit. At two o'clock, take a deep breath and hold for a few seconds. Exhale at three o'clock and slowly open your eyes. Maintain that relaxed and comfortable feeling as you open your eyes.

 

You may then want to increase the length of your session to thirty minutes or perhaps an hour. In our highly active lifestyle today, it is important that we include some time for meditation in our daily schedule. For more self-help techniques and tips, please visit my website.
