If you are interested in learning more about these meditations, or many others, there are a plethora of books that you can read. It is important to discover what works best for you! Plus at the end of this post I offer you my 2 guided CDs. You can listen to excerpts from each.One of the easiest meditations to practice is the focusing meditation
Focusing meditation involves concentrating on something intently as a way of staying in the present moment and silencing your internal dialogue. You can try this little experiment. Light a candle and stay focused on the flame. When your thoughts wander, go back to focusing on the flame. As you do this, you will be controlling your thoughts and quieting your mind.Visualization meditation is another method
Once you are able to do the focused meditation, you may want to try the visualization meditation. With this, you are training your mind to focus in a certain direction. Visualize yourself running on the beach and feeling great for five minutes. Gradually increase the amount of time doing this visualization. This is a great way to de-stress in a very short period of time.Meditating is a skill. Like any skill, the more you do it, the better you will be at it. Keep practicing until this becomes a natural part of your life. Meditation is one of the most beneficial skills that you can possibly develop (Tweet This!). This amazing skill is going to change your life forever once you master it!Here are two of my guided CDs you can purchase that will help you start your practice.
