08 Jun 11 NATURAL MEN’S HEALTH: BRAIN – MEDITATION – A METHOD OF MEDITATING

Find yourself a quite spot and a comfortable position, possibly sitting cross-legged or on your knees. Try to still your mind and use your breathing to help yourself relax. In any form of meditation you will have many thoughts passing in and out of your brain. Try to ignore them. In the early stages use a word (or mantra) such as peace, relax, love, or one that may have significant spiritual implications for you. Keep rhythms of inhaling and exhaling steady – this is quite important.

Yoga is another way of meditating. This form of exercise combines the balancing of the body and the mind through breathing techniques, as well as strengthening the muscles and joints of the body. Sometimes you may wish to adopt a relaxation technique that yoga classes often use towards the end of the workout. You lie down and close your eyes. Focus on relaxing each part of your body from your feet to your head or vice versa. Relax each muscle group as your mind moves from each specific area. You can then repeat the relaxation again from the head to the feet.
