Effortless Meditation

I hope this podcast becomes your refuge and your break away from your busy daily life, from your crowded social media, your never-ending emails, and your never-ending chain of thoughts. For a few minutes, stop everything, be away from your phone, computer.  

Gratitude meditation gives us the power to face our weaknesses and acknowledge the darker sides of life. It guides us to accept them, learn them, and grow with them. And here is what we get from practicing it. Gratitude meditation is a conscious effort to appreciate what makes us feel good. It is tied in with opening our hearts and embracing the blessings we have.

Meditation allows the mind to relax. When the mind relaxes, the body comes with it. It's quite natural. Here is how to do your meditation.

It's natural for the mind to have thoughts, and thoughts are a part of meditation. The goal of meditation is to become more at ease, relaxed, and at peace with whatever is happening. Hence, it's important not to resist anything that comes in meditation, including thoughts. Don't try to push out thoughts, but also don't intentionally follow them. Notice that thoughts are present and let them go the way they come -- effortlessly.

It's enjoyable to meditate in a quiet place, but it is not always possible. You can meditate even in a noisy environment. The key is not to resist noise. Don't try to ignore the noise or to block it out. Let it be and continue with your meditation.

It's important to take time to come out of meditation slowly. When we are deeply rested in meditation, it can be jarring to get up and start our activity suddenly. Remain with your eyes closed for a minute or two. Stretch, move around a bit, and gradually become more active. When you are ready to open your eyes, you can open them downcast at first.

Meditation is a process of being aware, being mindful, observing, and letting it go. No judgment, no changing. Just being honest, being compassionate. This session helps you to correct your posture and your alertness. I hope you enjoy it. 

My deepest gratitude goes toward you, supporting now and referring this podcast to family and friends to listen. Thank You!

Walking meditation can be an alternative for those who don't like to meditate while sitting still. During walking meditation, you'll focus on the sensations in your feet instead of focusing on your breathing during many other types of meditation. Walking meditation benefits include better balance, improved mental health, and lower risk of chronic illness. You walk in a straight line, taking your time, using the sensations in your feet as the anchor for your attention. 

I hope this episode helps you to start your walking meditation. Please email me if you have any questions at [email protected] or leave a voice message on the podcast website. Note voice mail can be up to one minute; this is what Anchor allows. 

Controlled breathing has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness, and boost your immune system. For centuries yogis have used breath control, or pranayama, to promote concentration and improve vitality. Buddha advocated breath-meditation as a way to reach enlightenment.

The Physical and Emotional Benefits of Breath Meditation are many, such as Reduce stress levels in your body. Lower your heart rate. Lower your blood pressure. Improve diabetic symptoms. Reduce depression. Better manage chronic pain. Better regulate your body's reaction to stress and fatigue. Reduce the possibility of burnout for caregivers.

Today meditation is about anger. In this episode, we talk about how to treat anger. Anger is defined as a strong feeling of dislike or displeasure. Anger is a natural, healthy emotion. However, it can get out of hand. Out of control and untreated Anger, can impede a person’s decision-making, damage relationships, and otherwise cause harm. Learning to control and manage anger can limit the emotional damage.

Thank you go your support and emails. Please leave a voice message and let me know how are you feeling? 

Today we will meditate to energize our inner healing power. When our mind is not trained on being mindful and aware of our feelings and emotions, we accumulate negative thoughts, self-doubt, and self-hate. We start judging ourselves and others.

Untreated feelings and thoughts such as anxiety, anger, revenge, enviousness, jealousy will create underlying negative thinking and behavior.

All of this is natural, and all of us experience it in different degrees. Stop criticizing yourselves for your negative thought, behavior, and habit. Try to acknowledge them then understand them. Treat them by being kind & mindful of them.

We all have unwanted, unacceptable parts of ourselves that we struggle to deny or repress, often for most of our lives. I call it our negative self.

Love is best when mixed with anguish.

Rumi

A tree, when it has no fruit to offer, remains erect. But when the tree is laden with fruit, it bends down.

When you really have something to offer to the world, then you can become truly humble.

If you are all pride and ego, then nobody will be able to get anything worthwhile from you. When you have genuine humility, it is a sign that you have something to offer to humanity.

Humble people handle stress more effectively and report higher levels of physical and mental well-being. They also show greater generosity, helpfulness, and gratitude—all things that can only serve to draw us closer to others.

Great rewards of humility are inner freedom from protecting those parts that we try to hide from ourselves and others. In other words, we develop a quiet, understanding, and compassionate heart.

My deepest gratitude goes toward you, supporting now and referring this podcast to family and friends to listen. Thank You!

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
