Meditation For Peace and Happiness
by Ali Bierman 09/20/9/3/ Hits:19If you never meditated before, or you think its something hard to do, follow my recommendation. Start with two to three minutes a day and expand it to five. Just be in the silence - no radio playing. You dont need a special meditation room. You dont need special tapes playing, special music. You dont need a meditation chair or pillow. Just go some place and get comfortable.
People tell you never lie down when youre meditating, that your spine has to be erect and straight, and your shoulders and your head and your whole body have to line up. You know what? Ive been meditating lying down for years and I get very, very clear messages and solutions when I meditate.
And you know you might fall asleep when youre meditating. When that happens what does that mean? Well, it can mean one of two things: one, your Little Voice has gotten to you and taken you out--so you miss any messages that come from your Higher Self. Or, it might just mean youre tired. Or, it might be a way for you to go some place else to find your answers.
So, if you want to lie down when you take that time to go into the silence within, its okay. Dont let anybody tell you how to meditate or for how long, or how often. But do make it a practice in your everyday existence because youll notice not only will you get answers, youll feel better. It will give you a surge of energy. It will revitalize you. And you wont need to feel better because you took some kind of drug or a caffeine beverage or food. Youll just feel better.
