thing?

I
bet someone in your life has already suggested meditation. So, you're
sitting there all by yourself. Wondering what's supposed to be happening?
3 Keys to Effective
Meditation:

Stillness

The
Buzz

Stillness
Stillness is all about relaxing your body. There are a bunch of methods out
there for getting relaxed. Find one that you like and work with it.
Most techniques for relaxation
will include helping you become more aware of your state of physical
tension. Once you are aware of where you are physically tense, you'll find
it much easier to let go of the tension.
Relaxing music and breathing
exercises are typical, too. They help with physical relaxation and silencing
your mind.
Silence
Silence. A mind with nothing in it? A blank slate?
Actually, a silent mind isn't a blank slate at all. It's really more of a
state of observation.
Being silent means you watch
your thoughts as they pass through your awareness. No judgments or
reactions. Just detached observations of inner-self.
Sit in that state of Stillness
and Silence. Watch what thoughts pop up. Pay attention to them.
They may be trying to tell you
something.
The Buzz
Finally, with a little practice, you start to feel something. It is a
physical sensation. Maybe a warm feeling. A slight shiver up your spine.
Some tingling.
Once you've tapped into this
sensation you've opened the door to a whole new world. It's time to start
watching for little changes in your life.
Maybe you start noticing a sense
of calm in your life, instead of chaos. Muscles may start relaxing.
Headaches may not bother you as much. You aren't sick as often as you used
to be. Maybe you find yourself experiencing more good luck.
The
buzz is the state energy healers are in when they do their work. Don't
worry, you don't have to do anything. Just know that your meditation
practice is coming along great!
