Effective meditation

Silence during meditation is very important. Silence helps us to enjoy life. and helps us to reflect and to examine our thoughts and actions without judgment. It places our noisy, obligation-filled life in perspective. Those who like silence replace the need for addictive thoughts and activities. When we love silence, there is no reason to run away from our thoughts and fears. Meditation brings unspeakable peace and remarkable satisfaction. So, the number one rule for effective meditation is silence.

Before meditating, begin to become aware of all the things, thoughts and emotions that are going on in your mind, all the things you may be continually rethinking and feeling. All of these thoughts and emotions are what you should have written about in a notebook before starting. If they are new ones, take time now and go back to your notebook and add them in.

Mediation is like an alternate way for dispute resolution (ADR). It attempts to resolve a dispute by providing a mediator who provides confidence that even tough problems may be resolved with patience and that the parties can acquire the willingness to resolve their differences. Thus accurately knowing your thoughts and emotions is very important to avoid the expense of continued conflict. We have available a wide variety of tools in our mind and body that may be used artfully and appropriately to resolve an impasse that blocks a resolution of the conflict.

When you begin to release out of your mind what you have previously written down in your journal during your breathing sessions All thoughts or feelings that are held onto use your inner energy up to remain active. Breathe through your nose if you can. On each exhale remind yourself that you have “that item” written down and that you can stop experiencing it. Now make your breaths a little longer and slower. Training in these meditation during classes or sessions make us aware of subtle barriers to settlement and of creative ways to overcome them.
