What is meditation and why is it good for you?

Relaxation techniques are a great way to help your pursuit to reduce stress. Relaxation isn’t just about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby.
Relaxation is a process that decreases the wear and tear of life’s challenges on your mind and body.

Whether you have a lot of stress in your life or you’ve got it under control, you can benefit from learning relaxation techniques.

Learning basic meditation relaxation techniques isn’t hard at all and has many benefits. Explore these simple relaxation techniques to get you started on de-stressing your life and improving your health. There are ample sources of stress in the world nowadays.

As the old saying goes, “there’s no need to look for trouble, because trouble will find you all on its own”. All of us have troubles and worries, and along with all these stresses, few of us have time to kick back and relax.If you suffer from anxiety, do you wish to ease those anxious moods you have, and feel relaxed for a while?

There are a number of relaxation techniques you can use. Breathing relaxation meditation is very effective and therapeutic, and with enough practice, it can become your standard way of breathing.

Relaxation breathing while meditating requires that you breathe with the diaphragm, drawing in air into the lungs in a way, which will expand the stomach and not the chest.

It is best to perform these breaths as long, slow intakes of air, allowing the body to absorb all of the inhaled oxygen, while simultaneously relaxing the breather. To do this comfortably, it is often best to loosen tight-fitting pants, belts, and skirts, as these can interfere with the body’s ability to intake air.

Although this is rare, if you experience emotional discomfort during the breathing relaxation exercises, stop what you’re doing and consider talking to your coach or therapist. Some breathing relaxation techniques will work for some people, while some will leave others feeling cold.

Meditation is one of the best ways to start meditating and it can help you throughout your entire life. They’re simple to use, the only hard thing about using guided meditation is actually making the time to listen to it.

That may sound odd, but we tend to place least priority on ourselves. We look after others, help others and generally do our best to help them to live better lives.

So, set aside the necessary time. Find about 20 minutes in your day and just start. Find a comfortable chair and listen to your guided meditation whilst sitting down. Or find a bed to lie down on, face up and with your arms by your side, if that’s the position you prefer.
To avoid distractions, put your phone on silent, close your eyes through out and use headphones. If necessary, put a “do not disturb” sign on the door to your room.

Press play and let your mind flow in the stress-free luxury of listening to a guided meditation. Meditation is something that any one can practice at any stressful time in their lives. Meditation can save your life in many ways because of the changes that it will help you feel, each and every day you step out of bed.

Tell your friends about it and they too can benefit from practicing meditation every day. To help you with this, I created a guided meditation album with 8 powerful sessions on overcoming anger, procrastination, manifesting wealth, success, healing and abundance, attaining your highest level of spirituality, building self-esteem, overcoming loneliness, pain, grief etc.
 
This is something positive that you can do for yourself and for your mental well-being.Meditate every day for a couple weeks and just see how much better you feel about things. It is going to really surprise you.

In the next few articles, I will write about the benefits of meditation and how to use it to deal with things like anger, insomnia, stress etc.
