Meditation and Quieting Your Mind

By the time you have finished reading this post you will have a complete understanding on Meditation and Quieting Your Mind and how easy it is to do! 

One technique is... You simply have to breath!

Your mind is in constant chatter...
Talking about all the things you need to do and what things you have already done. This kind of chatter can add lots of stress to your daily life. This is why  meditation and stress relief are important to your happiness!

Your mind doesn't want to give you a break, you have to learn to consciously turn your mind off!

Turn your mind off!
Try this great exercise and quiet your mind through meditation, breathing, concentration and the act of releasing tension.
Quieting such a noisy mind...When you are at your quiet space close your eyes and let your mind wander...
 Let every thought do it's thing, but be conscious of it's activity.
This can't possibly be you that's created all these thoughts, ponder on this for just a moment...
 It's time for you to focus on your breathing.
Let those thoughts go in and then out with your breathing.
Feel the tension in your neck?
This tension is created by your thoughts. Your thoughts that don't let your mind rest!

Meditate by letting go of the tension starting at your feet.
  • Breath in and stretch your feet by pointing your toes toward you, breath out and let the tension go...
  • Breath in and flex the muscles in both legs, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and tighten up your buttocks, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and tighten your tummy muscles, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and tighten your fists, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and tighten your arms, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and raise your shoulders to your ears, breath out and let them down.
  • Breath in and tighten your neck, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and tighten your smile, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in and scrunch your face, breath out and let it go...
  • Breath in thinking of waves pulling back from the shore, breath out and let them come smashing in...
  • Create an imaginative spot where you'd would love to be...
*Do this activity slowly and really feeling your body releasing the tension.

Your Mind should be starting to quiet during this meditation...
The reason for this is because you are letting go and concentrating on letting go.
Your mind starts to quiet when you let go of the tension in all the parts of your body.
As you do this concentration, you create imagination and pictures that are more pleasurable for you
and your mind.
Once you have created this imagination, your mind has no way of thinking anything else.
You have allowed your mind to quiet and meditation has begun...

Once you get into imagination while quieting your mind...
Try to focus on that favorite place for a couple of minutes and then just breath.
If thoughts come in let them, but don't give them conscious attention.
Let your mind know that it is time to calm and breath and that's all that it will do.

Do this practice of meditation and quieting your mind for15 to 20 minutes.

Meditation and Stress Relief

Meditate and Stress Relief are two thoughts that I think will help bring you clearer choices today. This is especially good if you have difficulty living day to day and trying to carve through the bumps and hurdles of life.
If you knew every day how to make the best choices just by meditating to reducing stress, your life would turn around so quickly it would almost feel as though you were reborn. Your confidence and happiness would sky rocket!

Meditating and Breathing 

You may worry that you are meditating wrong...You wonder if you are breathing right! Meditating and breathing is relaxed breathing the eventually turns to deep breathing. When you sit in your away space breathe as you normally do, close your eyes and listen to your breaths. In and out, in and out like waves in the ocean. If you start to think waves in the ocean automatically your breathing will become deeper and longer. Breathing in your nose and out your mouth. Breathing so your breaths 'in' are deep and your breaths 'out' are long.
It's all about filling your lungs and emptying your lungs.
Once you get into this kind of breathing the stress slides off...

Feeling Your Breaths Meditating 

A great tip to know while you are practicing the breathing is put one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest. Breathe in and feel your stomach push outwards, breathe out and feel your chest rise from your stomach. Paying attention to your breaths will get you in the rhythm of breathing long slow breaths.

You're already Meditating  

Look, you're already meditating! Just paying attention to your breaths during meditation is the beginning of meditating. You are breathing and fooling your mind...All you are doing is breathing and calming your insides. When the mind is away, so is your stress. Meditating and stress relief is that easy. You can practice this anywhere.

Relieve Stress and Meditate Anywhere 

Sometimes you can be hit with hard and stressful days.
Why not meditate before your day becomes stressful?
Meditate right where you are?

When you practice your breathing you are turning on a switch inside you that stops the grinding of your gears and calms your fears, anxieties and stresses. You can do a mini meditate. Which is calming your breathing and closing your eyes. You will notice directly after you've done this, you are much more relaxed and think so much better.
Have you ever had it when you are in a mess stress with choices, everybody is around you waiting for an answer from you...And almost naturally you close your eyes take a few nice breaths...Then...You open your eyes and the perfect words spit out from your mouth?
Just you doing that action can calm an entire room!
Try it, because you-really-will-love it!

away from the stress that might be around you. This spot lets you calm down.

Take 3 long deep breaths

Take 3 long breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try to make them slow and concentrated. Make sure when you breathe in that your stomach extends out - as your breath comes in.
