Meditation Methods

6 Rahmat 163 B.E. – June 29, 2006 A.D.

I’m subscribed to a health newsletter, it covers various subject related to personal health. Today’s newsletter contained a short article on meditation. The gist of the message was simple; one doesn’t need a lot of props to meditate. Candles, incense, cymbals or crystals aren’t necessary, all a person needs to do is set quietly and clear their mind. Just set for a few clear you mind and focus on your breathing, that’s all that’s necessary to meditate.

If a person wants to learn to meditate, you don’t have to go to a bookstore or a library to find the books. Do a Google search on meditation methods and look for something that suites you. Meditation is as old as humanity itself, so there are many methods to choose from and so all you have to do is find one that fits into your life. If you want to take a class then take a class there are some inexpensive courses on meditation. Whether or not you take a class or follow a specific model is up to you the individual.

I meditate by chanting the Greatest Name, but the method any one uses to meditate is a personal choice. I don’t think the method is as important as the practice of daily meditation. Set aside some time each day morning, noon or at night. Find a quite place, find a method you are comfortable with and just do it. Do it every day and see what meditation does for you. Keep a journal about the experience. If you’re not sure which method is right for you, then experiment with different methods, doing a method each week until you find the one that you’re comfortable using.
