what is meditating and how do you do it?

Question

well thats the question....

Answer 1

Meditation is learning how to control the mind.

Therev are several stages, and the first is perhaps the most difficult.
In stage 1 we are trying to get the mind to concentrate on one thing only, mand to avoid the monkey mind constantly introducing new ideas.

This is a good way to start

Sit in a comfortable position, with a straight spine, and the eyes either closed, or out of focus.

This is a good one to teach our mind to concentrate, called the twenty-four second meditation. It involves picturing numbers made up of dots as shown on large digital displays. We commence by picturing the digits 24. When we can clearly visualise each dot which makes each of the two digits two and four, then we move to 23, and 22. The concentration on the dots helps to eliminate other thoughts from the mind, and with a little practice over a few days, we are able to move from 24 down through all the digits to 0. If another thought enters our mind during this process, then we must start again. This is why it takes a few days before we are able to succeed Once we can succeed then we are achieving an alpha state of mind, which is relaxed, and free of the linear thought process. This is the state of mind required for deep meditation, which we discuss later.

Answer 2

Meditating is relaxing your mind and easing your negative thoughts. Clear out the day's memories by meditating and empty your mind. Try using subliminal music as it has another scientific benefits. You can meditate and use subliminal music to cure a disorder you are burdened with such as obesity for example. There is a place where you can get awesome subliminal meditation music for a few dollars. There are all kinds of programs out there to choose from. I personally use the self confidence and self motivation CD's when I meditate and relax and I believe they help me everyday. I will give you the reference in the source, so if you are going to start meditating, try this music out instead of ordinary nature music...
