Higher Power Basics – Are You Connected?

In order for you to be able to connect with your higher power, it is very important that you take the time to learn the basics of higher powers. Some aspects of higher powers can be quite confusing and that is why it is important that you start with the basics.

There are many people in society who believe that they are connected with their higher power when in all reality they are not really connected at all. This is because some people have the wrong perception of what being connected with your higher power really means. It is important that you are careful where you get your information on higher powers to ensure that you are getting the most accurate information available.

As mentioned before, connecting with a higher power does not mean that you have to devote yourself to a specific religion. It simply means that you understand that there is something that exists that has much more power than you could ever imagine having and that you respect this power and will live your life for it.

The following will go over the basics of connecting with a higher power and will make sure that you have a good understanding of the topic.

The Basics – What Is Your Idea Of A Higher Power?

One of the most important things to remember about higher powers is the fact that different people have different opinions on what the term higher power means. Some people believe that higher powers come from within and that your higher power represents a better you, the best you. They believe that their higher power comes from their core and is a part of their nature.

There are also people who believe that a higher power is something outside of this world. A few examples of such people would be those who practice religion like Christians, Catholics, and Muslims. It is important to remember that no one is right or wrong for their beliefs. Everyone is entitled to have their own beliefs.

You need to look within yourself and ask what your idea of a higher power is. Do you see a higher power as a heightened state of yourself or do you see it more from a religious point of view? If you are not able to answer this question easily do not worry. It simply means that you are in your early stages of connecting
with your higher power.

Everyone progresses by connecting with their higher power at different rates and in different ways. What works for one person may not work for you so it is important to always be trying new ways of enhancing your spirituality and furthering your connection with your higher power.

The benefits of connecting with your higher power are numerous. Take a moment to think about someone you know in your life who are connected with their higher power. Think about the way they carry themselves and the amount of confidence that they have in themselves.

Think about all of the blessings that are provided to them and how easy it is for them to overcome obstacles. This is not just a coincidence; these people are being blessed by their higher power for living true to their higher power. After all, there is a reason that it is called a higher power!

Another benefit that you receive from connecting with your higher power is the fact that it will give your life a sense of purpose. It can be very easy to fall into a depressive state of mind when you feel as if your life has no purpose. Nobody wants to wake up every morning and think to themselves, what’s the point?

If you feel yourself sliding down the slippery slope in this direction or you have already fallen into this depressive state of mind it is vital that you immediately begin working on building a relationship with your higher power and establishing a strong connection. You will likely be surprised by the sense of self-worth you receive when you are connected with your higher power.

Having a higher power will surely bring purpose into your life, no matter what your beliefs on higher powers are. If you truly commit and connect to your higher power it will not be long before you find yourself serving your higher power through your daily life.

One more thing that is extremely important to keep in mind is, that depending on your beliefs, you do not have to go to church or other religious services in order to connect with your higher power. There are several ways in which you can communicate with your higher power other than church.

A few examples may include meditating, speaking out loud to your higher power while you are alone and it is quiet, or even bowing your head and saying a prayer in your head. No matter which way you choose to try to connect with your higher power it will surely be effective if you practice it enough.

You need to know that your higher power may not resolve your issues immediately or in a way that is obvious to you. Sometimes bad things happen in order for better doors of opportunity to open. People without strong faith will usually lose direction when this happens and that is why it is very important that you have faith in your higher power and that you trust that your higher power will always lead you in the best direction.

Learn How To Become Aware Of Your Higher Power

After you understand the basics of a higher power and how important a higher power is in life it is time to move on to the next step which is to become aware of your higher power and how it is connected in all things in life. Many people go through their daily lives and do not take the time to think about how connected everything is in life. Every opportunity in your life is presented to you by your higher power.

It is also important that you are aware of the fact that every decision you make on a daily basis will either negatively or positively affect the relationship and bond between you and your higher power. Keeping this in mind will surely help you make better decisions and will, in turn, lead to a better life.

Once again, different people have different beliefs on what a higher power really is. The following will go over the importance of being aware of your higher power for both those who believe that a higher power comes in the form of a God and those who believe it comes from within.

Religious Higher Power Awareness

The following will go over the importance of becoming aware of your higher power and how it is connected with your life. As stated before we will go over both religious higher powers and those that come from within. Although, each is different in their own ways they are much alike at the same time.

If you are a religious person you likely believe in some sort of God. Different religions believe in different Gods, they are all basically the same they just have different names. This God would be your higher power. It is important that you become connected with this God or higher power and that you are aware of its existence in your life at all times. You need to be aware of the fact that your higher power can see the decisions you make and the things you do on a daily basis, there is no hiding from your higher power.

You need to be aware of the role that your higher power plays in your life and the fact that your higher power is always in your heart. Your body should be thought of as a temple for your higher power as many believe it rests in your heart. The more you practice your religion the more your spiritual awareness will rise. You will notice in no time at all that your connection with your higher power is becoming stronger and stronger.

Inner-Self Higher Power – 6 Planes Of Awareness

When it comes to the higher power that comes from within yourself it is important to remember that there are six planes of awareness.

Transcendence

This is when a person who believes in an inner higher power comes to terms with the fact that the world and the entire universe is just what physics says it is, energy. You will begin to understand that all of existence including your personal nature is energy and a conscious spirit. You will also come to an understanding that the world is not as dense as it appears.

It actually appears denser thanks to the concentration of energies. In this phase, you will also learn that your thoughts and actions are energy that can directly impact the energy of your surroundings, whether it is a negative or positive impact. This will help you to make better decisions and practice better thought processes as you will truly understand the power of your energy and soul.

The Serene Knowledge Of Your State Of Being

Once you have completed the first plane and have a complete understanding of the universe and all of its energies you will be put into a state of extreme serenity. Everything will be clear to you and all things in life will make sense. Some may compare it to seeing the world clearly for the first time.

Those who have experienced this say that they have finally come to peace and feel at home as if they belong. You must be careful though when experiencing this serenity because oddly enough, some people cannot handle the serenity and fall of course. For some reason, many people tend to self-sabotage once they find true happiness as if they do not feel like they are worth happiness. You will notice that along with your serenity will come to a sense of peace.

Universal Abundance and Courage

This is where you understand that all the courage you could ever need is readily available. You have the combined energy of the universe and your inner higher power to create unimaginable amounts of courage. You will be able to approach any situation in life with your head held high and you will know that the universe is always watching out for you. Of course, some courage will still need to be summoned on your own but you will not have to do it alone.

Your Vast Self – The Next Level

This is where your consciousness takes it to the next level and you learn to expand beyond yourself. You learn how to project your energies into the energies around you. You learn to let go of any egocentric mindsets you may have. Those who are able to achieve this sense of awareness know the exhilarating feeling it can provide when a person comes to terms with the fact that they are not confined to a body. Once you can achieve this you will fill with euphoria and a sense of knowing that you have never had before.

Integration and New Higher Power Understandings

This happens when all other stages have been met. Integration is where a person begins to become comfortable with their new understandings of their higher power and their awareness of the universe. They begin to apply this thinking into their daily life and integrate it into everything that they do.

Creative Mind Power

This is where you will begin to be tested on what you will do with the power that has been brought into your life by your higher power. What will you do with your new sense of awareness? Will you help people or will you only use it to better your own life? Ultimately, the choice is yours but it is important to remember what your higher power and what the energies will think about your actions.

Become United In The Power Of Unity

Unity is absolutely crucial if you wish to ever achieve a true sense of happiness or a good connection with your higher power. You need to understand that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. That is why you need to make sure that all links in your chain are strong and you do this by being united. You must try to unite with others and help them as this will help you along your spiritual journey.

Learning to be united is very important when you are trying to connect with your higher power and build a relationship, no matter if it is a religious higher power or an inner one. You need to learn to be united with all things in life and not only your higher power. Through becoming united with everything in life you will find that your connection with your higher power is greatly strengthened.

You may not know where to start to become united with all things in life and that is understandable. The following will shed light on the importance of unity and provide you with some ways in which you can become more united with the universe and your higher power.

In everything that you do in life, you must be thinking of your higher power. Your higher power is like your guide through life. It is there to help you when you are in need and to show you the path when you are lost. That is why it is so important that you always remain united with your higher power.

There are many people who choose to intentionally break the unity they have between their higher power and their self because they want to do things with their life that their higher power would not approve of. Do not do this because this is a sure set up for failure. As long as your life in accordance with the path your higher power has set you are sure to be happy and to live a fulfilling life.

The power of unity really cannot be matched. Being united with your higher power can be thought of as being an army and any problem you face can be thought of like a village, surely the army will have no difficulty taking out a village. The same goes for you being united with your higher power. No problem will ever be too difficult to handle and even if things do not work out at first, times will get better and you will be rewarded for your faith.

There is no reason for you to try and do everything on your own. It is okay to ask for help from your higher power. Strength comes in numbers and16 you could not have a better ally than your higher power so it is advised that you begin building your unity with your higher power right away!

Live From Love Not From Fear

Love is a wonderful thing and you should take every chance you can to experience and spread it. If the world had more love in it there would not be nearly as much chaos as there is on a daily basis. Sadly it seems that we have lost our ways and people no longer know how to love one another and live their everyday lives in fear.

This concept can also be applied to a person’s higher power. It is important to not live out of fear from your higher power but rather live out of love for your higher power and fellow humanity.

The following will go over the importance of living your life for your higher power from love and not from fear and some examples of ways in which you can do so.

Learn to Love Completely

The power of love is enormous. Think about all of the things that love has made you do in the past. Some of them might have been a little crazy or poor decisions, right? If love has the power to make you do things that you would not normally do it surely has the power to help us live our lives in a proper manner and to serve our higher power.

You are more likely to succeed in establishing a connection and building a relationship with your higher power if you are doing it out of love and not out of fear. As well, your higher power will notice and it appreciates your actions more if they are out of love and not fear. You may be wondering why. Here is an example, think of a child who is only behaving because they fear discipline if they are seen, so as soon as you leave the room they misbehave.

Now, on the other hand, a child that is behaving out of love will continue to behave even after you leave the room. This shows that the child is behaving because they know it is right and not only because they do not want to be disciplined. The same idea can be applied to the relationship between you and your higher power.

An example of something that some people do out of fear for their higher power is attending religious services. You should not attend these services because you are afraid of your higher power disapproving of your absence. You should be there because you want to and because you love your higher power. The same goes for those who participate in certain charities or other community help programs because they fear what others might think if they don’t.

Although the simple fact that they are participating is a great thing it would be much better if it was out of love. Besides all of that, you should never fear your higher power. Your higher power is full of nothing but love for you and wants nothing but the best for you. Half of it comes down to you though because your higher power can only point out the way, it is your job to follow it.

Live In The Here and Now

No matter what you have done is the past, you must let it go. You are a good person and you have ample potential. With the help of your higher power, you can surely brighten the outlook of your future. But, if you ever want things to get better in your life you are going to have to learn how to let go of the past.

It is important to fully analyze situations and take in all things including your surroundings. You need to understand that a situation is real no matter what type of decision you are making and this is a form of living in the here and now.

The following will go over the importance of living in the here and now and provide you with some ways in which you can let go of the past and begin analyzing situations as much as possible in order to strengthen the connection between you and your higher power and keep you on a spiritual path.

Let the Past Go!

The past will surely do nothing but hold you back if you dwell on it and this is not healthy for you if you are trying to establish a connection with your higher power. You need to learn how to live in the here and now and the following are six steps that will help you to learn this skill.

Become a Minimalist

Learning to be a minimalist will teach you to let go of everything besides what is absolutely essential to your life. This is especially useful when it comes to getting rid of items that remind us of the past.

Be Happy

Although it may not always be easy, it is important to smile. No matter what happens in your day it is important that you take it in stride. Keep in mind that whatever doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger and that there are people out there who are going through situations worse than yours. You have probably had times that were not that great in the past but you got passed the speed bump. Nothing is worth being an emotional wreck about so try to smile as much as you can.

Learn to Appreciate Each Day

Learning to appreciate each day is a great way of learning how to live in the here and now. No one is guaranteed to live to the next day so every morning you open your eyes in bed you should be truly grateful. Take a look out of a window or step outside and take a moment to appreciate all of the beautiful creations in life your higher power has blessed you with.

Forgive Past Hurts

Do not hold on to anger from the past. Holding resentments does nothing but damage your own health, spirituality, and daily life. When you forgive someone for past hurts, you need to understand that it is something that is done for you and not for the person you are forgiving. Release yourself and forgive the past!

Love Your Career

You ever want to be able to be truly happy and live in the here and now it is important that you find a career that makes you feel like you are fulfilling a purpose. Becoming lost in an endless routine of waking up dreading to go to work every day can be damaging to your connection with your higher power. If you start to become unhappy
with your life it will surely affect your spirituality. You spend over half of your entire life at work so it might be a wise idea to find something you enjoy.

Stop Worrying

You will never be able to establish a good connection with your higher power or live in the here and now if you do not learn how to stop worrying. You need to stop stressing yourself out all of the time and begin putting more faith in your higher power. This will not only alleviate some of your stress but your faith will also be rewarded by your higher power in one way or another.

Show Gratitude for Everything

It can be understandably difficult for people to show gratitude for everything in their life. Especially when it comes to showing gratitude for negative things that may happen in our life. It is important to always try
and see the glass as half full instead of half empty and remember that everything happens for a reason.

Your higher power may have you set down a path that has some speed bumps down it but once you get to the end of the path there will surely be a wide-open door of opportunity and blessings. The crucial thing to remember about higher powers is that they are more powerful than us and can see our life from start to finish. You must have faith in your higher power, even if your current set of circumstances is not that great.

The Importance Of Being Grateful To Your Higher Power

Always Appreciate Everything

As mentioned before, it can be very hard to be grateful in certain situations. No matter how hard it is you must always keep in mind that someone out there is going through situations much worse than yours. For example, you may not be happy with your current rate of pay. Well, how would you like to live in a country where there are places that you cannot even find work?

Imagine having to watch members of your family starve to death too because you are not able to afford food and there is no one that will help you. Is your situation that critical? If not that is a perfect example of someone who has it much worse than you. When you think of this does it change your level of gratitude for your paychecks? I’m almost certain it does!

Your higher power has a plan for you and you need to understand that this plan may not necessarily involve you becoming rich or famous. It may require you to go through some serious trials and tribulations, but there is always a reason for it. That is why you must take everything that life throws at you as a blessing from your higher power and you must show gratitude for these blessings.

Doing this will prove to your higher power that you are serious about your commitment to them and that you are willing to live your life by them. This will greatly increase the bond between you and your higher power and will surely strengthen your level of spirituality which will lead to a life of true happiness.

Learning to appreciate everything is also a great way to ensure a content life. If you are not constantly yearning for new expensive things and learn to appreciate the smaller things in life you will finally learn how to be truly happy. Money can buy items but it cannot but true happiness. True happiness can only be achieved by feeling content and by establishing a strong connection with your higher power.

Now keep in mind, being grateful does not mean that you have to jump up and down out of joy every time something happens in your life, especially when bad things happen. It simply means that you need to make sure you demonstrate the fact that you understand that it is all a part of your higher power’s plan and the fact that you appreciate the fact that your higher power is there for you and that things could be worse.

Learn how to appreciate the smaller things in life. Take a walk through the park and enjoy the scenery. Gaze at the birds flying around and listen to them sing their songs and appreciate their beauty. Now take a moment to think about the simple fact that you are able to see and hear these birds and enjoy their presence. Some people in this world would consider something as seeing or hearing to be a luxury that they will never get to experience.

When you take the time to look at things from that type of perspective it is easy to see that you have a lot to be grateful for to your higher power. Always have trust in your higher power and appreciate everything it does for you. Everything is a blessing, even if it is a blessing in disguise.

I hope that this article has seriously inspired you to become more spiritually aware and to begin establishing a connection with your higher power if you do not already have one. There is no end to the blessings and gifts from the Universe you will receive once you are on a true path of spirituality.

Some of the best things in this life are those that can be felt from within. For example, nothing can ever beat the feeling you get from true happiness.  Another example would be the sense of being content and having a meaning and purpose in life. One sure way to make sure that you experience all of this and more is to begin working on the relationship between you and your higher power.

One of the most important things to remember is that you must always have trust in your higher power no matter what type of struggles you may face. Remember, life is a test and a struggle between good and evil. Ultimately, you will decide what side you are on in the end and you are the one who chooses the life you will live. However, having faith in a higher power and following the direction in life that is pointed out for you is sure
to be your best option.

Start working on your connection with your higher power today! The best part about connecting with your higher power is the fact that it doesn’t cost money and you don’t need anyone else to do it, therefore you have no excuses.

Get started right away and begin receiving your gifts from your higher power!

Here is the 5 Minute Guided Meditation For Stress and Anxiety Script (Script & Mp3 Download)

Begin by sitting in a chair with your legs planted firmly on the ground, feet uncrossed, spine and straight alignment, and palms are resting on your lower abdomen, with the tips of your middle fingers just slightly touching at your belly button. And when you’re ready, very softly close your eyes.

Begin by taking a deep inhale that causes your middle fingers, to pull apart as your stomach pushes out, and hold your breath when you reached the top. As you exhale with a sigh, feel the tips of your middle fingers coming back together as your stomach contracts.

Repeating this process, the end of your out-breath. Breathing in very deeply. Feeling your stomach expand fully, holding your breath at the top, and when you’re ready, let it go with a sigh. As you feel the tips of your middle fingers returning at the center of your belly button. And again, one more deep breath in through your nose.

Feeling your stomach completely expand now even further than the first two times. Holding your breath, and letting it go with a long audible sigh. At the end of this long, relaxing, exhale. Just focus in on your abdomen as you breathe at a pace that feels good for you. Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Intentionally send all the air down to the lower abdomen so that your belly rises and falls.

When we experience anxiety, we often breathe through our upper chest signaling to our bodies, that it’s time to initiate the fight, flight or freeze response mode. But when we instead direct the air to the lower abdomen until the upper chest to just relax, our body gets the message than it is safe for us.

Our body lets go of feelings of tension and creates feelings of ease. Even if you feel tempted to breathe into your upper chest, just keep consciously breathing through your lower abdomen, forcing your stomach to expand as far as you can on every inhale and contract as deeply as you can and every exhale, doing your best to keep your chest inactive.

You deserve to feel these feelings of peace. It’s understandable that you experience anxiety and there is nothing wrong with it, but in this moment, be proud of yourself for doing the work necessary to calm down and experience peace.

Take a moment to tell yourself that it’s okay, that you feel anxiety. It’s okay. It’s okay. There is nothing wrong with feeling it. Just breathe and continue to breathe through your lower abdomen as you begin to bring your awareness back to the room around you. Opening your eyes whenever you feel ready.

Reduce Anxiety in 5 Minutes – Beginners Meditation Secrets

By Jonathan Masters

Now more than ever it’s important to take time out to relax your body and mind. With the current economy, it’s not unusual that people would be more anxious and stressed than normal. Sometimes it can feel like you can’t afford to waste a minute on something like relaxing.

I know that seems like a logical conclusion, but I think the better question is can you afford not to find some peaceful moments in your life right now?

If you could find just 20-30 minutes a day to relax with a technique like meditation, you could significantly reduce your anxiety, panic attacks and boost your drive and creativity during your working time.

And getting started in meditation isn’t as hard as many people believe. All you need to do is sit quietly and let your mind wind down. Too many times I think humans try to move the world by thinking about it. We feel like if we can just think hard enough, maybe we can change things. For right now, just let your normal, everyday thoughts go.

Some people choose to sit in silence and try to quiet down their inner mind. You can do this if you feel more comfortable, but I’ve found it to be too hard for beginners most of the time. Trying to force yourself to think of nothing is like trying not to let gravity get you down.

I prefer to imagine a peaceful scene like lying on an empty beach. You can walk yourself through your own peaceful guided meditation. Go anywhere and do anything you want so let your imagination go for awhile.

There is a common misconception that something is “supposed to happen” during meditation. People seem to think they’re supposed to experience some religious experience. While I suppose that can happen, that’s not the point of meditation and trying to make something happen only distracts you and stresses you out even more.

Don’t expect any certain thing to come to you, just let the meditation go where it wants without limiting your mind. If you can do this daily for even just 5 – 10 minutes you’ll notice a huge difference in your anxiety within a month or so. Most people also find that even though it starts out as a chore that takes up too much time, meditation actually becomes a ritual they wouldn’t be without.

Jonathan Masters is a writer and former panic attack sufferer. In 2008 he partnered with End of Anxiety to share his knowledge and his story about how he cured his anxiety and panic once and for all.

Meditation: A Key To Stress Management

We often see people break down in depression, or incapable of thinking properly in times of great need or problems. These are people who let stress rule their lives, and its never a pretty sight to begin with. The only way for you to be free from stress is to make sure that you don’t let it rule you. Here are some stress management tips on how to relax and rule the problems out of your system.

It’s all in the mind and controlling your thoughts

Our mind is the first to be affected in the throes of stress. The harmony of your thoughts can be disrupted if you let your worries and problems seep into your conscious mind and control how you think. Financial burdens, quarrels or petty fights can leave devastating effects on your mind – if this does happen then the first thing you should do is relax.

Relaxing your mind is a great way to control stress but not so easily done. It needs a lot of concentration and willpower to achieve. There are ways to induce your mind into a relaxed state; aromatherapy is a great way to induce a sense of relaxation and can help you think straight.

The scent of lavender or jasmine can put you in a meditative state and help you relax almost immediately. You can choose scented candles, incense or oils that will suit your preference.

Meditation is the key to a stress-free life

It’s almost impossible to find a solution to your problems when you are deep in stress, no matter how petty it is. Learning to focus all your energy on telling your mind to relax can be done through the ancient art of meditation.

Meditation allows you to focus your mind on a single idea and letting other thoughts disappear into nothing. Meditation classes will guide you through steps on how to initiate your mind into meditation and keeping it there during times of need. This will allow you to focus on a single thought, like finding a solution to your problem, while letting the worries and anxiety float away to nothing.

Steps to meditation for stress management

The first step of meditation is to look for a place of peace. Stress management always starts with serenity and solitude, so you better pick a location that will help you start with meditation. You can pick a room in your house with the least amount of noise or go camp out with nature.

Next, you need to relax by focusing your mind on specific parts of your body. Start with your toes, legs, torso, stomach, hands, and chest. It’s best if you close your eyes and let your mind zero in on these areas. Tell each one to relax. Be extra careful not to fall asleep since this will immediately cease all meditative attempts.

Once you have relaxed each and every part of your body, you will feel a slight heaviness. This usually happens during your first try at meditation. After a while, you will no longer feel your body – as if its a non-existent part of yourself.

Focus on a question, like a solution to your problem, with your mind. You might notice that some thoughts or scenes appear and disappear like a fleeting memory – keep a note of these in passing and don’t focus on them too much since this will defeat the practice of meditation. Imagine that you’re watching a movie.

When you encounter problems that will eventually lead to stress, you can invoke meditation almost instantly. If you practice enough, your mind will instantaneously clear itself of all cluttered nonsense and allow you to focus on how to deal with your stress.

You can use this guided meditation script to calm your mind and relax your body. Meditation is the act of focusing the mind to relax, improve inner awareness, and make positive mental or physical changes.

If you are looking for a basic introduction to meditation, start with the basic meditation script below and the meditation mp3 in this podcast for an introduction to how to meditate.

As you become familiar with meditating and start to develop the skill to focus your mind, you will easily be able to use meditation techniques for positive changes in your life and to learn new skills.

Guided Meditation and Script For Relaxation and Healing Your Mind and Body

Assume a comfortable position. Shut your eyes as you start to relax. Take in a deep breath, now breathe out, emptying your lungs entirely. And once again. Take full deep breaths, never strained or rushed.

Breathe in strength, breathe out tension. Carry on to relax. Take full deep breaths. Allow your breathing to discover its own natural, unhurried pace. And as ideas enter your mind, allow them to go without attachment.

As you sink into comfort and relaxation, see yourself enjoying a waterfall of sunlight and crystal water.

As the sun and water cascade over your body, you absorb the healing oxygen carried inside your blood vessels through your whole system.

The oxygen heals and releases the holding contraction of each muscle. Every muscle becomes taffy… soft and pliable.

All tension gives way to easiness. The cascade of sunlight reminds you of the source of all energy.

Your whole being sings with release and renewal as the source refuels and strengthens your body and spirit.

In healing all is possible. As you heal your spirit and body your gifts to the universe emerge. The healing vision of cascading sunshine and water is yours whenever you want it to be.

Your breathing is unstrained. Relax your toes and feet. Relax your ankles and knees. Relax your leg muscles. Your breathing is deep and relaxing. Relax your fingers and hands. Loosen up your wrists and elbows. Relax your arms.

Your breathing is slow and peaceful. Feel your feet and legs get heavy and warm. Feel your hands and arms get warm and heavy. Simply breathe as your thoughts come and go.

Center on your breathing. Let go of tension as your body falls into a state of peaceful quiet. Unclench your jaw. Relax your face and let go of your tongue. Your heartbeat and breathing are serene and steady. Your breathing is relaxed. Void your mind of all thoughts. Your abdomen is soft and warm, your limbs are heavy and warm.

Watch your thoughts come and go like clouds in the sky. Your hands are warm, your forehead is cool, and your breathing is deep and relaxed. Feel your breath sink lower and lower into your lungs. As your shoulders drop, feel your breath fill the upper part of your chest. You’re relaxed and peaceful.

Your breathing is deep and relaxed. Warm hands, cool forehead. Empty your lungs totally. Hear the silence grow as your mind hushes. You are relaxed, calm, and centered. Your heart rate and breathing are calm and steady. Warm hands, cool forehead. Your breathing is deep and relaxed. Enjoy the quiet.

When you know it is time to leave this place, begin to return. Let your breathing bring you back. Gently take a couple of deep breaths. Pause a moment. Remember one last time that you can return to this place any time you wish. It may only be for a moment, but it will remind you of the sense of peace that’s yours.

Open your eyes. Feel the goodness of the meditation for a few moments.

WHAT IS A GUIDED MEDITATION?

The basics of guided meditation.

The phrase itself is an explanation of its meaning. If you still find it somewhat vague, picture these scenarios: a person or a group of people meditating and guided through the process by a professional guide; a person reading a meditation script while you meditate; an mp3, or CD you bought or prepared yourself to help you through the mediation process.

All of these are examples of guided meditation. Since one is supposed to acquire a state of deep relaxation during any meditation, guided meditations and meditation scripts are a good motivator for someone just learning how to meditate.

So what is nice about guided meditation? Well for one a guided meditation is often cheaper than a private session. If you use tools like CD’s or cassettes or if you ask the help of a friend to guide you, it wouldn’t cost you as much as a private session would. Though, these private sessions are considered as guided meditations as well. Guided meditation can help you understand the basics of meditation more clearly.

It can help you get rid of all distractions and meditate more effectively. Most of the group guided meditation has particular goals, from physical healing to spiritual-related goals. While guided meditation may be used to achieve healing, the guides are not the healers though. Your naturally healthy state is just being restored through the flow of energy by your meditation.

A lot of websites offer information on self-meditation and guided meditation. Most of these sites even provide prepared scripts, sounds, and several calming images for exercise to help you stay focused. One good site to visit is MeditationLifesSkills.com’s guided meditation section. It is a virtual guided meditation room of some sort with the same goals – to provide you minutes of deep relaxation and reflection.

If you think adults are the only ones who need meditations, think again. There is actually an online guided meditation site for kids. Visiting GreenChildMagazine.com will take kids to a place so serene and revitalizing. The prepared scripts are very interesting and will mostly make kids stay focus on the meditation exercises.

Some guided meditations provide around thirty minutes of relaxing music to calm the mind and body. A guide’s voice can sometimes be heard over the beat of the music to guide you on what to think of, and how to stay more deeply focused. These guided meditations can be practiced alone or with a group.

Guided meditation is perfect for people who are still learning the basics of meditation. While it may be somewhat lengthy for those first-timers, it can still provide you with a lot of tips on how to go about acquiring a feeling of deep calmness.

One of the biggest problems faced by people new to meditation is the dizzying variety of different types of meditating there are. Although the benefits of meditation a well known, and many people out there would really like to get a good meditation practice together.

Often they fail to take even the most rudimentary steps towards establishing a daily habit of meditating. It is little wonder why. With Taoist meditation, yoga meditation, and literally thousands of other varieties of meditation out there, how can anyone sort through all of the dizzying possibilities?

I have tried many different schools of meditation, but the one that I keep coming back to is guided meditation. I guess part of this has to do with the fact that it was my introduction. I had a friend who is a dedicated student of a guru.

I was, let us say, a bit skeptical at the time. My friend looked like a wide-eyed believer to me, and I tried to convince her over and over again to stay away from the so-called guru. But she convinced me instead to come to check out one of his meetings.

Although there were many components to the ceremony, it started and ended with a guided meditation. The guided meditation was simple. He directed us to follow our breaths, flowing in and out of our bodies, and to visualize them as beams of energy.

It might sound stupid to you, and even telling it sounds silly to me, but there was something about the way that he used his voice to direct the guided meditation that made it a profoundly powerful practice. I have tried guided meditation mp3s and CDs, but none of them have given me nearly as powerful of an effect as hearing someone directing the meditation with their own voice in person.

Of course, you do not have to lead a guided meditation in a group setting, and if you have a spiritual group, you can all take turns leading it. Many guided meditations are just simple relaxation exercises. You can do such simple things as imagining yourself in a peaceful place with the sun beating down on you, or focusing on some early memories from childhood.

Some of the most powerful guided meditations that there are are the ones you most identify with and the ones that just simply resonate with you personally. The most important thing is to have fun with it!

Guided Meditation In The News: The Dalai Lama and Neuroscientists Go Head To Head…

Many studies have been done on the effects of guided meditation and most of these studies have proven its effectiveness in calming a person’s mind and body.

Guided meditation is not a new exercise and has been around for many years but since the recent notice of stressful and time-consuming jobs and lives, many people have turned to it to help relieve their stress and to instruct them on how to deal with straining situations. Through the use of guided meditation practices, people who participate in these meditative sessions are finding more calm and quiet moments in their lives, even when they are not meditating.

Guided meditation and private meditation were developed in the Buddhist community about 2,500 years ago and have been used ever since.

The Dalai Lama takes this line of guided meditation so seriously that he decided to meet with Western neuroscientists to help them test the effectiveness of the guided meditation exercises. The Dalai Lama stands by meditation by referring to it as a way that human beings express their ability to avoid suffering and find their own personal happiness.

The Dalai Lama met with these scientists in a number of sessions in which they interviewed him and presented their research on the subject of guided meditation. He offered his opinions on the subject from his Buddhist point of view but also engaged in the scientists’ factual understanding of meditation and its effects.

Although the Dalai Lama stands by his completely spiritual and meditative practices, he cooperated with the scientists and showed them that he understands the importance of science and research on the subject.

The guided meditation was shown to be effective at calming a person’s inner thoughts and sometimes relieving ailments such as migraines. By attempting to achieve the three levels of guided meditation, many people have found their limit of difficulty and what they need to work on to make their meditative session more intense. The meditating person must first work to achieve an external focus during a guided meditation session. This is the most basic type of meditation and the easiest form to achieve.

In the external focus session, the person must concentrate on an object in the room while still paying close attention to his or her own body. The internal focus is a form of guided meditation that is found to be a little more challenging. In this form of meditation, the person must focus on occupying the mind with a mantra or another small but non-thinking task while concentrating solely on removing thoughts from the brain and relaxing the body.

The unfocused form of guided meditation is the most challenging form and it is the form where the person meditating can go the deepest into the meditative state. In this state of meditation, the person focuses on nothing and keeps the mind completely silent.

People are finding the world of meditation is easy to become one with when they use the help of guided meditation. Many users can achieve their meditative goals and the meditative state of calm with a guided meditation.
