Are you interested in learning deep meditation but are a novice at it? Don’t worry, we have you covered, here are a few easy techniques that will help you get started for deep sleep relaxation meditation.
Deep meditation is of two kinds – relaxation and mindfulness. It can be difficult to find both of these things in our hectic schedule. Hence, you need to start off by practicing a few minutes daily and then increase from there.
Before we start, let us signify the importance of meditation. Deep meditation is like a treatment for stress and anxiety, It helps to sharpen your concentration, and improve blood circulation in your body. Once you start to practice, you will start to experience a quieter mind, inner peace, and an open heart.
1. Choose a comfortable place:
The first and foremost thing is to find a place which is comfortable for you. It doesn’t matter whether you sit or lay down. As long as you are comfortable, you can choose any place to meditate.
2. Calm Your Body and Breath:
Once you sit or lay down to meditate at your place. You need to breathe naturally and calm your body to relax. Breathing should be soft, and you shouldn’t force yourself as the intent of this is to make yourself comfortable.
Another method to make our self-comfortable is by remembering good things, things which makes you happy. All these thoughts will send a positive vibe in your brain, and your brain will become quiet, introvert, and calm.
3. Intentions:
You need to set a particular minute for which you will meditate. This can range differently for everyone, but it should be doable. You shouldn’t get yourself 50 mins of meditation in your first session. Start with little session but be determined to complete them. This intention will go a long way.
4. Long breath:
Once you start to feel comfortable, you can then take long and deep breaths. You need to hold the exhalation for longer than inhalation. More used up air will be moved out of your body and there will be room for more fresh air.
You should try to feel your breath moving from your lungs and nostrils. This will make you even more focused than before, and you will be able to dive in deep sleep relaxation meditation.
5. Don’t be distracted:
Many things can distract you while meditating, however, you shouldn’t give into it. The wickedest of such distractions are your own thoughts. You shouldn’t think much about them and focus on your intention and meditation.
Beginners will have a hard time ignoring, but you will get better with time.
6. Feel your body:
Once you are deep in meditation, then you need to take delight of the moment. You should enjoy peace and how unified the body is. You can also take notice of your body and how each part feels. However, if your mind starts to divert during this exercise, you should go back to breathing. Take 5 to 10 long breath, and you can also take this a step further by humming “Om”, with every breath out.
7. Breaking the state:
When your session gets over, don’t hurry up to break your state. Get up gently and then open your eyes. Your mind would be still quiet, and breaking off suddenly is not good. This is an ideal way to transition from meditation to normal life.
These are the technique you need to incorporate in your session to get started for deep sleep relaxation meditation. However, this won’t be easy, you will have to practice as much as you can. Give yourself a particular time period and doing nothing other than practice, and soon you will see its fruit.
