3 Easy Steps to Get You Started with Meditation
The M word: meditation. We have all heard of it before. Maybe you heard Dr. Phil or an internet guru talking about its benefits and how it could change your life. Maybe you have had some interest in it but no time to invest into learning about it and grabbing the “gear.” Welp I have been there and resonate with your pain. Like you, I thought meditation was some holistic skill I wasn’t capable of doing. I was this way for a very long time until I discovered a YouTube video that quite honestly changed my life. This video gave me the insight I needed to start meditation. This led me to take the leap into the rabbit hole we call “Self-Care.” I learned a lot in that rabbit hole, but this blog is not about the rabbit hole, but actually about how to prep yourself for that jump in. These 3 easy steps I have listed below are what personally helped me and millions to get started in their meditation journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Your Wealth & Building Energetic Shields
The concept is you create a shield around yourself and other people's/ place's influence/energy just can’t permeate, so you essentially walk through unscathed, unaffected.

Meditation
The point with this exercise is to begin set up an atmosphere of acceptance and communication between what you experience (typical right-brain information gathering) and the way in which you then fit that experience into the format of language and expression (typical left-brain, intellectual structure).

Maximum Meditation
The world that we live in is a stream of projected five sense information that is observed by consciousness. We call it a world of sense-perception, but only intellectual perception, nonetheless. In maximum meditation, the goal is to get consciousness off the current information stream while still remaining conscious of your present personage. You want to abandon the information stream and be in personage as you explore other options. The information stream that is used to produce the illusion of a material self and world is a hard read. What I mean by “hard read” is that it is chock-full of information and streaming at an incredible speed. The analysis, combination, and projection of the information are so demanding that the observer (you) is practically locked into place like an astronaut under G-forces in a rocket to the Moon. Sleep is necessary to get consciousness offline for a break from the hard read. In maximum meditation, we want to get offline but we don’t want to lose self-consciousness. In order to kick start the process, we reduce as much of the information we’re processing as possible. This reduction starts to eliminate the projection of the illusion and frees up the consciousness to observe other things that the mind is doing, call up things from memory to relive, or to just be in the solitude of being without any mind play being observed at all.

Meditation Space
Meditation can be used for many reasons. The ability to step out of our everyday, demanding or stressful or regulated environment allows us to disconnect from the frustration and confusion they can inspire. There are many studies showing the benefits of meditation to relieve stress and improve our physical health as well as our mental clarity. Creativity, empathy and greater spiritual connection are some of the other side benefits of including some form of meditation in our routines. Creating a specially designated space where we have the peace to really relax goes a long way in facilitating the addition of a meditation routine into our busy lives.

Origin Although it's not called a religion, RaJ Yoga does have its roots in Hinduism and the meditation is a way of empowering yourself spiritually. It started with one man who channelled words of enlightenment, every day he would speak to the group that would congregate together for uplifting spiritual direction and this was recorded each day, until he died in 18th January 1969, which gave the group five years worth of material which they could reuse on a daily basis. Now every day the Murli is read by groups all over the world, every morning. It is run predominantly by women who get up at 4:30 every morning to read through the Murli and then again at 6:30.

The Field of Silence
"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone." ~Blaise Pascal I could study this one quote for a whole lifetime. It made me ponder my own meditation journey, and the clarity it has brought me. Clarity that I didn't even know was possible for me. Like a snow globe that has been set down on a counter top. All the clouded mist and snow has softly settled. The feeling that your mind is pure and free. That's what meditation has been like for me.
