Hello, friends. If you find meditating difficult, then I’ve created this episode just for you! I dive into the fundamentals of meditation and offer my thoughts on how you can make your meditation practices a success.
All About Meditation
Key’s To Success
I offer pointers on how to make your meditation practices a success with tips including:
-
Don’t be picky about posture
-
Using music
-
Using visualization
-
Using motion and sensation
-
Using a mantra word/image – 3d relax, water drop on lake, burning
-
Mix it up and go with the flow – don’t be rigid about it. Do what works for you. If you resent it, you will stop.
Concerns and Difficulties
I address difficulties and concerns from listeners surrounding meditation including:
- When sitting is painful – it’s a barrier for chronic pain
- Dissociation in meditation. Depersonalization hits when trying to meditate without a focal point. Tend to get floaty and have to reel brain back into body.
- When Tinnitus makes meditation tough.
- Forgetting what I’m trying to be mindful about while meditating.
