Yes, meditation can be truly, really boring. Together with you I am with you! However, it is not necessarily the case.
Here we have a whistle stop tour on 10 major reasons people find meditation cycling and what they can do about it.
- I can not sit so long yet! It hurt my feet and my back hurts. We are busy and multitasking lives in a society which is an honor badge that we wear with pride. The idea of sitting still "not doing anything" is a shock! Enjoying meditation is to accept your surrounding, accept your body and embrace your mind. It is still OK. If it hurts, you are worthy of advice on your posture. There are many courses that teach you how to meditate while walking, so you do not need to sit still!
- When I am quiet, my heart competes more. Students remembered this morning only this morning. That's true. When we stop "doing", we will soon learn about our hearts, so I feel that we are doing more races than usual. Again, this one trick is acceptance. That's OK. Just chatter and overcome, try not to fight it, do not ignore it. It will calm down when you finally get the idea. Then you can start teaching how to focus!
- I have no time for meditation. That's true. Our lives are already full and there is no time for meditation. Or are we? For example, when we fall in love, suddenly I can spend wonderful people on this wonderful night and weekend. We do not watch TV. We will use our time more deliberately. Is it really hard for our mind, body and soul to seek 10 to 20 minutes of our time?
- I have something better than not sitting around and thinking nothing . Yes! "I do not think" - one of those mimetic words! Meditation is not to stop our thinking. It is not a victim of a well-practiced mental script we usually play in autopilot, but to enter the present moment. That is about making yourself free. Do you have any good things yet?
- Even gazing at the umbilicus will get bored, in the end . Nael - gazing - Yes, after a while it will be very boring. Fortunately, the intention behind the choice of life surrounding meditation is not a random navel gaze, but intensively observe your own habits and behaviors, become witnesses and can not control Emotional stress!
- I did it for a while, but then quit. . Sometimes, we do not have time to learn to re-associate with who we really are. But it is rare. Generally, giving up meditation means that you have not got what you expected. So then, the time has come to find a decent teacher or class to help keep myself feeling and guide you to your journey. Even if you know where you want to go, asking for directions is still effective.
- It did nothing for me - I just sat there and got bored . I listen to this frequently. In fact, learning meditation is similar to other skills. It is necessary to practice after learning the technique. If the technique does not work, please ask the teacher for help. Or try another book. It is old and boring, there are so many meditation methods that must be simple and fresh.
- I thought it was really difficult to concentrate, so I gave up. . Meditation is not to sit still and empty your mind. By learning how to quiet the body and heal your mind, you can concentrate and concentrate your mind. You can focus on that alone. Therefore, rather than struggling to give up on yourself, it helps you learn to participate in practice groups, meditate with CD / MP3, and concentrate and concentrate. Also, it is worth checking if you are tired of meditation. Deep relaxation may make you better.
- Meditation is not for me - I do not believe everything . My friend said that because advertisement of her meditation class is not appropriate, I can not go to the village (church) magazine. Many people are afraid that they must change their beliefs or meditate religion in order to meditate. Many meditation paths have a faith system useful for student journeys, but to meditate, you do not need to join a specific doctrine. Meditation is what you really are - your source - aspects of your God - in any way connected with you. Certainly is it good?
- Meditation is really hard . This is a common misunderstanding. Meditation in some way is to become a lotus posture. I changed my legs to Pultzel, I call out and sit silently for many days. Fortunately, the truth is that you can meditate anytime, anywhere you do. Yes, when you learn it helps to sit still in a certain way. However, true meditation is about living with full consciousness at the present moment. Practice is necessary only by that! Most of us are difficult to meditate. With techniques under your belt, your exercise should be as easy as possible. A little devotion is necessary.
By participating in qualified teachers and good meditation classes, you can get great results from your efforts by avoiding common pitfalls.
But you can teach you to meditate at home, even if you do not go to meditation classes.
