Meditation is to focus attention on one thing, whether it’s a mental thing – thinking – or physical – the task we are doing.
Often, we’re stressed because our mind is busy with a multitude of thoughts which are strung together one after the other and which do not directly affect what we’re doing: we focus on the past or the future, not the present. So, we are less effective on the task we are currently conducting, and thoughts that we are rarely constructive because we can not immediately act. We “store” then the result of these thoughts, thinking reuse later, and often they turn in our minds so confusing, cumbersome mind eventually be forgotten.
This is a great source of stress. We have each time printing something to miss, both because we do not live fully the present moment, but also because our brains firing on all cylinders, but empty, unless the output of either the height of the energy we’ve spent – like a car engine which we would not have engaged the clutch …
Meditation practice allows precisely to focus our attention on the present moment. At first it may seem difficult, but with practice it becomes a habit easier to implement, allowing us to finally live more fully and more peacefully, our lives.
There are many ways to meditate. We can meditate while sitting, or legged, eyes closed, fully focused on our inner self, or performing a task, like walking, playing sports, eating, and even work. The most important is to focus on what we do.
However, to begin, it is best to begin to meditate sitting cross-legged or kneeling or to close their eyes and concentrate on breathing. That’s all. Concentrate on your breathing and do nothing else. When you realize that your mind began to drift, gently return to your breathing, without blame. It is normal that your thoughts drift. Focus only on your breath. Contemplate the air entering your nostrils, fresh, and the air coming out of your nostrils, warmer. Be aware then of the continuous flow of thoughts that beset our mind, which sometimes takes in all other places than where we are.
And fully enjoy the present moment.
This mediation so simple if you practice the ten to fifteen minutes a day, in a quiet, can change your life. You’re more relaxed, more fully aware of the moment, and happier.
