Are you someone who does not like or enjoy typical/traditional meditation? Do you find it perhaps uncomfortable and intimidating? In today's podcast, I will talk about other ways that you can get into a meditative state without actually "meditating." Enjoy! 4 Key Takeaways
- Meditation is very doable, real and approachable. It's really okay to meditate anywhere.
- Unlike the typical/traditional form of meditation that's often idealized by many people, with Transcendental Meditation you can be more relaxed about things.
- There are other ways of being that can produce a similar or maybe even the same effect as the typical/traditional meditation. This is meditation for people who don't like meditating.
- When you are engaged in something actively — one that is relatively free of distractions — there can be a kind of focus that takes over. You can get into this zone where your thoughts actually begin to either diminish, quiet or disappear entirely. That is when you get into this state of 'pure presence'.
Quotes
"I really think meditation just comes down to being in silence with yourself." "You can be engaged in something actively and get some of the same states of being that you would have from a meditation." Action Steps
- Think about in your life now — do you have an activity that you love and enjoy and that gives you a feeling of satisfaction? If you don't, is there something that you would like to try?
- How does a movement or activity based meditation feel to you? Look outside of the traditional box of what meditation is. Expand your awareness of what meditation can be and how it could benefit you in your life.
