Sure Fire Ways to Meditate Like Buddha

Sure Fire Ways to Meditate Like Buddha

Whether you have only tried meditating once, or have been meditating for years - you know that some days its frustrating. Been there, felt that!

I used to think that meditation was about shutting off my brain for the 15 or 30 minutes I was to be meditating. Since I couldn’t do this for even a second. I quit. Then I would read another book, feel inspired and try again. And quit. I wasted a whole lot of time thinking I was a meditation “failure.”

My energetic team finally guided me to decide what meditation was for ME. Like everything else in the world, things work differently for each of us. Below are what I have found to be help me meditate like Buddha.

Get up and OMMMMMMM - meditation first thing in the morning is best for me for 2 reasons. 1. I am not on information overload. 2. It is a GREAT way to ensure a balanced day.

Take a pen and paper - on those days where my brain is on super speed, I just jot down the ideas, thoughts, to do lists, etc that come up while I am getting into my peaceful Buddha like space. By writing them down it gets them out of my head and allows my brain to relax.

Clear Your Clutter - OK, I know you have heard this a million times, but there is a reason for that. It is true. We don’t want it to be, but it is. The cleaner and clearer the space you live in - the cleaner and clearer your head is. You don’t have to take a month off work to clear it all - take baby steps. Do a room a day, or a week, or if necessary - a month. (although you may want to call in for professional help if a room will take a month - just sayin')

Guided meditations - yep, my all time favorite way to meditate. Gives my brain something to do, which helps me to focus, which helps me a successful meditator! My favorites are - mine of course, you can find these in my store. And also Kelly Howell’s. Also Doreen Virtues Chakra Clearing. If you have some favorites you would like to share with the readers please post them below.

Just do it - decide the time and days you are going to meditate and just do it. Even if you are a zillion miles away from your Buddha like space, be there. Most of our day is routine - and we need to make meditation part of our routine to ensure it happens. Like most things, if we don’t set it - we don’t do it!

Also an important thing for people to know - not everyone is going to succeed at sitting meditation. Some of you are what we could call “movement meditators” - so you need to be walking, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, etc to get into the space. This is OK!!

I strongly suggest daily meditation to raise your vibrations, find your inner Buddha and create the life your heart desires.

I would love if you posted below on your favorite ways to meditate!

Many blessings and much love,

May is National Meditation Month! Free MP3 Download!!

Happy National Meditation Month!!!!

 

Meditation is such a beautiful way to connect with the deepest part of yourself, your team in Spirit and your own inner wisdom.

 

When I first started meditating 8 years I found it very difficult. I was easily distracted, making To Do lists, worrying about the past or the future. I knew none of these were good uses of my meditation time!

 

When I asked my team why I had such a hard time meditating they explained that I had this unreal expectation that my mind had to be completely blank for me to be actually meditating. Since I wasn’t able to do that - I was just giving up and letting my mind wander aimlessly about whatever it wanted.

 

They clarified that meditation was about calming the mind, but like anything, it would take practice to get better at it. So I committed to practicing. Sitting at the same time everyday for at least 10 minutes. Gradually it became easier. So much so that I started meditating at other times in my day, and for longer periods. Mediation became a very important part of my day. Not just something that I knew I needed to do, but something that I wanted and loved to do.

 

I have tried many different types of meditations over the years with guided meditation to be my favorite. I find it the easiest to keep my mind focused and it also strengthens my clairvoyance (because I am using my imagination to see the images).

 

In the last few years scientists have come to realize the many benefits of spending time in the Theta brainwave, so there are many guided meditations now that have binaural beats in the background that, when you wear headphones, your brain automatically goes into theta. Very powerful way to meditate.

 

My favorite theta meditations are by Kelly Howell - click here to go to her web page.

As a gift for you I have recorded a short (13 minutes) guided meditation to help you feel peaceful on every level. Click here for the link. Wear headphones to experience the incredible effects of the theta brainwave to further deepen your relaxation.

 

Many blessings,

Glenyce
