People who have never meditated sometimes have difficulty working out what it “looks like”. Does it mean you go into some sort of blanked out zone where there are no thoughts? How is it possible to have no thoughts? Does the mind have an “off-switch” found during meditation?
Meditation for a beginner is about learning to control your thoughts. It’s almost like you become aware of your thoughts as an observer. You watch them flitting through your mind and aren’t invested in them.
The best way to do this is to focus on one thing – your breath, a flower, a word like “love”. At first it will be hard to stop other thoughts from coming in – that’s been happening for years so don’t expect it to change overnight!
Say you’re focusing on a rose, or a candle flame and thoughts about work or what’s for dinner tonight come in, then acknowledge them, release them and return to what you’re focusing on. The aim is to let go of the thoughts that come in, not to “delve” into them. You’ll find with practice, that the focus does get easier to maintain.
Mindfulness is all about focusing on one thing as a way to bring your awareness and focus to the present moment. People are so used to thinking about other things that it’s almost a revelation to try mindfulness mediation and focus on the now.
There are many meditations out there so find one which resonates with you. Mindfulness meditation can get you to focus on your breath or your body so that you can start to connect with these again. They guide you to stop your mind wandering away and instead you start to remain more in the present.
Science is continually showing the many benefits of meditation – less stress, a better outlook on life, more positivity and so on. Try to find 5-10 minutes, maybe 2 or 3 times a week where you can do this.
You can also do this as you’re drifting off to sleep or waking up. Focus your mind on one thing and start reaping the benefits of this age-old process.
This is a mental gym for the mind. So just as you exercise to keep your body fit, do the same for your mind.
