The Application of Meditation

Anyone can meditate. Better yet, anyone can meditate anywhere at any time. If you feel that you need a moment to yourself, then take a moment. Because it is an internalized act that can take as little as three minutes, no one should be inconvenienced by you recharging yourself. Like a new update on your smartphone, you’ll actually be able to function better if you give yourself the time to tap into yourself, clear your mind, and refocus your energy.

Think of meditation as exercise for the brain. When your mind hits the gym (through the meditative act), the brain and nervous system receive a top-to-bottom workout. Your nervous system speaks to your neurotransmitters through hormones, which are regulated by the hypothalamus, pineal gland, and pituitary gland. Through meditation, these neurotransmitters become trained to unite and communicate in harmony. When you are no longer battling fragmented thoughts, your mind becomes unoccupied and free to reach its fullest potential.

How to Meditate

I have meditated my whole life, and my personal experience with it led clients of mine to ask me how to implement it in their own lives. I am happy to teach anyone interested in it because anyone can meditate, and everyone can benefit from meditation.

You can meditate any time of day. I prefer to practice first thing in the morning because it tunes me into the channel from which I then operate throughout the day. It can set the tone of your entire day, too. You can even meditate multiple times a day, whenever you feel it is necessary.

Here is a list of meditations, including instructions. Pick a title or piece of music that speaks to you. Read the instructions, get comfortable, and start meditating. Even three minutes a day can make a difference in your life.
