Have you been practicing to focus your mind on what you're probably doing? We need to concentrate our mind, stay calm and breath naturally. And today I am going to tell you something.

SEEK, ESTABLISH, FOCUS & TRUST

Have you heard the word 'Meditation'?

If not, then look for a quiet place and enjoy reading this relaxing thoughts about meditation.

The word 'meditation' comes from the Latin meditari (to think, dwell on, exercise the mind) and mederi, to heal. As its simplest, it involves taking time out to sit still, away from distractions, and clear the mind of everyday thoughts. It allows us to take a break from 'doing' and to spend time simply 'being' instead, giving our minds a rest and a chance to recover from the rigours of everyday life.

Meditation forms an integral part of many ancient spiritual practices, but it is as relevant to us today as it has ever been.

The benefits are enormous on the physical side, it lowers blood pressure and boosts the immune system, while on the emotional side, it helps us to combat stress. Setting aside time to meditate also allows us to nurture our spirituality.

Anyone can learn to meditate. Start small: find a quiet place to sit for a few minutes, minimize any distractions and focus on your breathing. With practice you'll find it easier to meditate for longer periods of time.

If the idea of sitting in complete silence seems a little off-putting at first, try a guided meditation: an audio track that will talk you through a simple visualization. (This is perfect if you're new to meditating.) Some guided meditations will even help you to explore a specific issue, such as stress management or building self-confidence.

True spirituality is a mental attitude you can practice at any time. Dalai Lama

SEEK SANCTUARY

Find a place of personal sanctuary -- anything from a comfortable chair in the corner of your bedroom to a tranquil spot high upon a hill -- and make time to visit it and meditate as often as you can. Away from distractions, you'll find it easier to clear your mind and nurture your spirituality.

ESTABLISH A ROUTINE

If you can, aim to set aside 15 minutes a day to meditate. Try to do it at the same time every day and establish a routine as you make your meditation space ready: for example, turn off your phone, close the door and arrange your cushions. This will train your brain to slow down and enter a more peaceful state of mind. Then sit quietly with your eyes closed. Focus on your breathing and the sounds around you, rather than your thoughts.

QUIET YOUR MIND

If you find everyday thoughts clamouring for your attention -- and they will at first -- acknowledge them and then allow them to drift away. Remember that you have the power to control your thoughts. Don't be downhearted if you feel that a meditation session hasn't gone to plan. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to do it, and giving yourself time out is always a positive thing to do.

Though you may travel the world to find the beautiful, you must have it within you or you will find it not. Ralph Waldo Emerson

TRUST YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF

Meditation allows us to explore our spirituality. In days gone by, spirituality was connected to organized religion but for many people nowadays it is more about personal development. When we grow spiritually, we learn to listen to our inner voice, to live in love and positivity, and to become more conscious of our inner being. Your spirituality stays with you no matter what -- learn to trust it and you can handle whatever life throws your way.
