How to do meditations by steven bradshaw

What is meditation?

Mediation means learning to focus your mind to one thing It can be used i n many ways, to heal your self, connect to spirit, answer questions and generally to relax the mind.

I often view meditation as a means to relax the mind and to give the body chance to balance itself. We all have an energy force within us known as chakras. If you can imagine energy wheels placed throughout the body, spinning i n tandem when the body is relaxed and balanced. How many times a day can you say that you are actually at one and peaceful with yourself? For our busy lifestyle and stresses of the day means that we use different chakras to keep us working. With just one chakra out of line this can have a major effect of on our body. For example throat chakra which also associated to the colour blue, is our c ommunication chakra. This is our ability to communicate with people and receive information. The physical affects of not replenishing our energy or negativity caused i n this area, comes as a throat problem.

Also we can lose our voice from fear or anger derived from possibility of losing a job or loved ones. The throat is very sensitive and is our means of listening to spirit.

What are the benefits?

With regular meditation and relaxation techniques you can actually start to get the feeling that everything is wonderful, f it tin g into place and nothing can stop you. This is because you are connecting to the flow of the energy that is within us and is flowing at a more relaxed vibration. Just like after the third day on holiday where you are so relaxed and peaceful that nothing really gets to you. Nothing fazes you and problems just seem coincidental i n that time .This is not produced overnight and will take quite a few sessions before this feeling actually happens. So my advice is not to give up straight away. There are a few examples of what meditation can do:

1. Improve your outlook on life 2. Reduce stress and anxiety.

3. Help you sleep at night 4. Helps you see the big picture and solve problems.

6.

It also improves your health and well being

7.

Recharge the batteries.

8. Receive messages from inner guidance.

When the best time to do meditation Many people choose different times of the day where they feel that they can actually relax. Some find the first thing i n the morning gets them going for the rest of the day and some feel that late at night when all the work is done that is the time to relax. If you are new to meditation, then you need to find first of all a meditation that works for you

and all so I would suggest that you do it just before you go to sleep. The reason for this is that i t is when you're most likely to be most receptive when your dropping off to sleep and also i n the alpha state. The alpha state is the middle part of just before we go sleep and just being awake. Most people try to recreate this situation when doing psychic readings. I personally create this situation through going to a place because then I feel I have actually taken time to get myself prepared to do a reading. The whole point of meditation is to prepare your mind and body for a time that i t can relax and replenish the energies.

So please make sure they you let your family and friends know that just for 15, 20 or 30 minutes that you will be not available.

Why can't I do meditation or get aggravated by it.

Like I said earlier about a holiday i t takes a good three days before the body becomes relaxed and enjoying the holiday. This is to do with the mind to relax i n and realizing that it doesn't have to worry about the children, bringing the money in, work and keep a loved one happy. All the usual day-to-day chores that we have to do. Also because we are clearing out negative energies when doing the meditation it takes time to do this. Another way is to sit i n nature which helps to release energy. The mind and body can get aggravated with trying to relax when it has so much to do to clear out the negativity that you are holding onto. It tries to attract situations, so that you will recognize and release the e motions / problems (energy) attached to it. We also have to start to look at that maybe we are picked up negativity and energy from other people that we have tried to heal or have given energy to help them do their tasks. Remember you are training your mind to be still and like driving a car this will become automatic i n time.

Protection also helps you from being drained and holding onto others energy.

Why do I fall asle ep ever y time I do Medit ation?

Because your body is exhausted and needs that time to cleanse your energy system.

When we are asleep we produce energy (serotonin) that helps us to relax more and go into a deeper sleep. ( seroto ni n is produced t hrough training and relaxing and helps us to deep sleep) If the body really needs us to go into a deep sleep very quickly then when you do meditation i t triggers this state. The more meditation you do the more you'll be able to stay awake during the meditation.

Creating a meditatio n 1 Create an environment where you feel you can relax, physical or through visualization and release the energy / thoughts of the day. (In the sun, woods, waterfall, snow etc.)

2. Check your breathing, and try to slow down with deep breaths.

3. Protect your self with white light from the energies around you. (Either imagine a white / gold cloak or mist around you) 4. Keep focused on something to stop you from dropping off but i f you feel you need a

sleep then let it happen. For example a candle, place or by saying a word, "Love", "peace" or Om. Let this word resonate through your body.

5. Never force a meditation and don't concentrate on information given. Specify when you would like to receive information, and when receive it, recognize, thanks for message and let go for energy is free flowing and you may stop another message.

6. If your are looking for guidance for others, then imagine them being immersed i n the lovely energy you have created.

7. Be humble and grateful for what you have received, remember a single feeling or colour takes allot of energy and means allot, so ask questions after meditation i f unsure of the meaning.

By learning to breathe properly you can get the balance of the energy flowing properly again.

Meditation I have created you can use (you can also buy this meditation on cd - click meditation) Make sure you are relaxed and won’t be interrupted; turn the phone off and let people know you want some time to yourself.

You do not have to see my description for it to work you can feel it instead.

First of all, take a few deep and calming breaths.

Then let go of everything that has happened today.

Close your eyes and i n your minds eye, see yourself being protected i n white light You feel lighter and lighter like a feather, Each breathe you are releasing the negative energy of the day, getting lighter.

Okay, now imagine yourself floating, you are f l y i n g Over trees, hills, lakes Over... do not give thought to what you are doing just fly feel the wind feel the sun on your face feel alive and free of worries Free from the weight you carry the burdens As you are f lying you notice colours getting brighter and brighter passing you by, you feel lighter and lighter Different colours with different feelings Different energies can be seen You see a golden triangle, f l y through the triangle You land on top of the world, you see i n front your favourite place this can be a mountain, a wood, a beach, a garden f ul l of flowers (choose your place), and you can see all the energies around you (mine is the cl if f over the sea) look around you, hear the gulls, feel the sun on your face, taste the salt from sea breeze, smell the freshness Everything you look at has a different energy Your energy starts to leave your body Different colours, starting to connect with everything around you You feel light Your heart is beating

You feel the energy passing through your heart joining with everything You are one, you are safe and you are loved.

You are part of the universe, what you put out you get back Imagine a thought you want answering, a question and watch how the answer comes back.

Visualize lovely white light around you, i f at night imagine purple.

Meditation diary By collecting information from each meditation, you can start to see a picture emerging. Sometimes all we get are symbols for this is the easiest way for the guides to talk to us without the brain assessing what it means. In time symbols, feelings will return and you will understand what they are saying. A red rose can be love from the spirit world, a symbol of someone who liked red rose or sign of celebration. If you are interested i n talking to guides or doing readings, then this is certainly a way of noting down your experiences. You can even evolve the diary into more aspects of your life, to clear problems you hold onto, negative situation and clear insight gained from thoughts you don't even know you wanted answers for. Dreams are another area you could collect information, for it is said that what we need to learn is played i n our sleep.

Find a place you can relax, that you won’t be disturbed, make sure your mobile is on silent, that people know not to disturb you.

Please do not listen to this cd while driving.

Let your thoughts go, watch them leaving your mind and being put in a book for later.

Just make sure you are comfortable and let your eyes close. Then begin to be aware of your breathing. Just allow your breathing to be easy, very calm very comfortable. Just allow yourself to bring your self fully present to where you are now. Leaving behind what you have to do and attend to. Just for this time about 30 minutes, this time is for yourself, to connect for yourself. As if you are gathering bits of yourself from all over the house.

When you feel negative energy or problems, turn the negativity into positive energy and let it go for you know you are supported and good comes out of bad. And when your ready bring your self fully present into the room.
