Quick Guide To starting out your Meditation Practise
Posted on 21st November 2018 at 08:34
Meditation is an approach to training the mind similar to the way you would train your body with exercise .
It is a practise which means that you need to practise often to get the most benefits . (annoying but true ! )
The problem that people often have with starting a Meditation practise is that it is such a simple and quite frankly sometimes boring process that the long term effects can be totally underestimated. Sometimes you may need to keep remembering all the benefits that meditation has been scientifically proven to bring to keep you going.
So, often my clients can get a bit disheartened with the apparent simplicity of the practise and can question if it is actually worth the bother and should we go and get a cup of tea instead ! I’ve thought this myself in the early days but something kept me going and I’m so glad I did because meditation has saved my sanity more than once . What always helped me at the start is to use the time in practise as my few minutes of paradise. I always made sure that I allocated the time to myself with no distractions even if it was only 10 minutes
