learning to meditate
Do you want to open up your intuitive and psychic abilities and connect with spirit? Nearly every teacher of psychic development will tell you that one of the most effective steps you can take is to set up a regular meditation practice.
In order to connect with spirit you have to raise your vibration and become a clear channel. Mediation over a sustained period of time will help you do that.
Meditation will also ground and center you. And being grounded is essential in doing any spiritual work.
First, set aside a regular time every day to meditate. If you can only muster 10 minutes at first, that will do.
There are a variety of techniques and various preferences.
Generally it is best to be seated in a comfortable position with your back supported and upright. But your eyes can be open or shut.
You can choose to listen to music, a guided meditation tape, or enjoy silence. You can focus on an object such as a burning candle, a favorite Tarot card, a crystal, a flower, or anything that catches your eye. You can choose to burn incense if you like.
The most important point is that you do it.
What teachers will tell you, is that a regular meditation practice silences the mind and allows you to focus on the stillness within so you can hear the quiet voice of spirit.
If possible, it is good to meditate at the same time every day. Setting aside a special time for mediation ties it into your daily routine and sends a signal to spirit that you are open to receiving. You will also learn that you are not the endless mind chatter that you hear when you do try to still yourself.
When you do hear mind chatter, do not let it bother you. Just gently brush it away and go back to your meditation.
One technique to handle the mind chatter is to follow the rhythm of your breathing by counting each breath as you breathe in and out.
Breathing is a natural function and the very essence of life. By focusing on your breaths, you are grounding yourself and demonstrating to yourself in a concrete way, that the essence of you is much more than your random thoughts.
By learning how to listen to the small voice within, you can create a life filled with joy, love, and success. Visit http://www.magicalmeditationtechniques.com
