Hi I'm back. I'm also Peter.
Here's how you meditate. Some will tell you start with a guided meditation guru.
I say just sit quietly close your eyes and notice your breathing for just 3 minutes. The key is to pay attention to your breath.
Know that without your breath you will not be alive.
Ready? Sit with spine comfortably erect in a cross-legged posture. Rest your hands, palms up, on your thighs. Drop your shoulders and relax your whole body. And breathe...
Step 1. As you breathe in slowly, visualise the air flowing through your nostrils into your lungs then down into your belly and into the back of your lungs.
Step 2. At the top of your inhale just before you start to exhale, pause gently and visualise your breath touch the base of your skull at the end of your spine. That is the spot connecting to the source. Feel the exuberance of the life throbbing inside you.The one life. One Exuberant Life.
Step 3. Breathe out, gently release the air through your nostrils from your lungs and your whole body. As you exhale feel the energy move from the top of your head down to your forehead, face, throat, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, belly, hips, thighs, knees, calf, ankle, feet and toes. And relax into it.
Feel the life force contained in your entire physical body radiate within you.
Do this for three minutes. If you did it paying full attention to your breath, nice and slow then you'd want to keep going for more than three minutes. You've just learnt how to be with yourself.
Being with yourself. Doing nothing. Absolutely nothing but just simply breathing. Living life. Your life.
Being with yourself. Doing nothing. Absolutely nothing but just simply breathing. Living life. Your life.
Keep practicing this for longer periods. Ten minutes then twenty. Do it as often as you can when you're alone. Just sit and notice your breathing.
Feel the peace and the stillness within. Feel pure blissfulness.
Try this first then in my later posts I'll take you on more meditation journeys. It's virtually mind blasting.
Stay tuned. Literally.
