| Posted: 20 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST Article by B. Price When the days are crazy and hectic, some people find that meditation is one of the best ways to get centered and calm down, and reduce the noise of the day. There are so many advantages that meditating brings for people. First, meditating reduces the amounts of cortisol in the body which is one of the hormones that is produced during stress. Second, it helps boost the immune system and functions of the brain, as well as helping to balance the left and right brain functions because it helps create fresh neural pathways. Third, it helps reduce a variety of emotional issues including depression, fear, and anxiety. What exactly is meditation? There are a variety of forms of meditation that allows the individual to empty the mind, relax, and concentrate on one specific thing, such as relaxation, or healing, or assorted forms of self help. The most practiced methods of meditation include settling into a comfortable position, generally sitting, and concentrating on something specific, such as a candle flame. Most people find it very difficult at first because the mind is so cluttered with the activities of the day, making it hard to give attention to just one thing and block all other thoughts. Another helpful area is repeating a mantra, such as Om, that also helps focus the mind on a solitary thought. The goal is to achieve a silent mind and be able to control the thoughts. This generally takes a significant amount of practice before the silence is achieved and the thoughts focused. Once the individual has learned to meditate, there are many areas that meditation is useful for, including building self confidence or self esteem, improving health, solving a problem that has been difficult to resolve, or improving brain function. One of the main beliefs of meditation revolves around the law of attraction; a metaphysical belief that whatever is truly desired can be attained because when one meditates on a specific desire, that meditation helps manifest that desire. The law of attraction require! s positi ve thinking and one of the best aspects of meditating achieving a positive attitude. There are also a variety of guided meditations that are geared for a multitude of reasons. These generally have soft music with a soft, calming voice guiding the individual through a variety of settings; such as walking along a quiet beach and hearing little more than the calming of the waves and the distant call of a solitary bird. Once the calm state of clarity of mind is reached, the guided meditation focuses the mind on suggestions such as enhancing self confidence, losing the anxiety or fears, or focusing the body on healing. When these guided meditations are practiced several times each week, they are very successful in altering a behavior, increasing self esteem, or helping increase the healing process. Meditation is one of the oldest forms of calming the spirit, increasing creativity and problem solving, or simply relaxing the body in order to achieve rest and necessary healing.

| be kind to yourself as you do your yoga practic Posted: 20 Jan 2012 06:00 AM PST Article by victoriasbox First, be kind to yourself as you do your yoga practice. Think of yoga as an exploration. It is a place to cultivate awareness and consciousness of self is the master of yoga. You can pass on knowledge to the rest of his life, watching himself in all situations as it does in the practice of yoga. In yoga class, the teacher gives you points on the alignment and how to move her body in the poses. Bring what I remember of what the professor emphasizes that what they are paying attention in yoga class. Lovingly correct your posture, and by that I mean I put it in greater harmony at the time they are doing. Consciousness at the time, right now, you take the approach indicated that yoga cultivates. This is not where you are going or where you've been. It is at this time. How do you feel the pose? What is the shape of the position of where you'd like to be? The comparison can use what your teacher has been suggested as an ideal, however, the comparison is really between you and yourself. The goal is to be more present and aware that it can possibly be at all times of the practice of yoga. Now those are good goals for life too. Can you feel the time is, the more fully now? Can you bring more awareness of what is at this moment? Can you see yourself in love and what they are doing? There is a bit of a paradox in the practice of yoga that is similar to meditation. You should come out without a result or goal in mind. The goal is to practice and do not wait to get anywhere. It's more about giving yourself time in your day to just "be" instead of trying to do something more, like many things on your to-do list. Moreover, in living finishes. Sometimes you may need the structure to its practice. The trick is to throw your mat, preferably the same time each day, and get started. Better yet, how about if you remember some poses that you like before? Not a few are raised to know and enjoy doing so in class or a yoga video. Once you get the practice, he recalls other poses. The first five minutes of any yoga pract! ice is t he most challenging, with the hardest part unroll your yoga mat and step on it! In fact, we pledge to do this, simply stand there and see what happens. Another way forward is to use a yoga video or audio practice through a practical guide. It helps to start with something you know, or is your level of experience, and cares. I've been practicing yoga for 30 years and still struggle to make the first step every day. I love audio CDs as Shiva Rea Yoga Sanctuary. that has different tracks for the practice of yoga postures flow. Some days I feel less energy, so I'm more relaxed topics such as yoga in the Lunar Yoga CD. In more energetic days, I do yoga sun, the other CD in this series. I might be interested in backbends, bends forward or maybe a vinyasa sequence. I can choose tracks, and I would like to end with some guided relaxation at the end. Since I have several CDs of Shiva Rea. The drops of nectar, more than a guided meditation and relaxation. Yoga backbends I love singing it when I'm in the mood, and gives me Vinyasa Yoga Sanctuary offers similar to my yoga class. It seems valuable to listen to guided practice to give me the structure at home. Although I have the guidance of a teacher talking through me, I have to remember to listen to my body doing the pose. I have to respect my limitations at the time that what we strive to bring the intention, awareness and focus to the position. Yoga is sometimes an effortless effort, the balance between the do's and don'ts. How to be a good yoga teacher yourself? Practice. Daily practice, even a small practice. You should come out of a yoga practice with a sense of having learned something about his conscience and the body as a teacher. Sometimes it is about the body, and sometimes is about life or his own life. Is likely to reap the benefits of yoga practice more common. Two advantages I love to feel better in my body and feel more comfortable in my mind. I have less pain when I do more yoga. I feel more relaxed throughout the day. Ultimately, yoga is not just d! oing pos es. Yoga is something that pervades his life, and does so in a way that brings fulfillment and the rest of what you do and who you are About the AuthorYoga is sometimes an effortless effort, the balance between the do's and don'ts.

| Posted: 20 Jan 2012 01:00 AM PST Article by Tony Gallimore Yoga Versus Pilates The yoga craze of the late twentieth century ended up segueing into the Pilates craze of the early 2000รข??s but many people questioned the exercise value of both. Despite media hoopla, few people actually seemed to understand the physical benefits of either. The truth is that both forms of exercise have unique approaches to fitness and can provide significant benefits for the strengthening and conditioning of the body. Though similar in the focus on strengthening the body through isometric movements, the paths of yoga and Pilates ultimately diverge. Yoga was developed over five thousand years ago in Northern India. It is first mentioned in the sacred Hindu text Rig Veda. During its first clear period, yoga was practiced and refined by Vedic priests, who documented the practice in their writings. Patanjali, who is considered by most to be the father of classical yoga, fostered the next phase of yogaรข??s development. Following Patanjaliรข??s broad expansion of yoga and its meanings, Tantric yoga became accepted as the new form of yoga and concentrated on cleansing both the mind and the body. Yoga finally neared its modern form in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century when more and more Indian yogis traveled to the West, sharing their art and increasing the worldรข??s interest in yoga. The 1947 premiere of Indra Deviรข??s yoga studio in Hollywood became the opening bell to the American fascination with yoga. While most incarnations of yoga have had a strong spiritual element, modern Hatha yoga does not align itself with any religion or spirituality; instead it focuses primarily on the yoga postures and using them to reach and maintain strength and flexibility as well as inner calm. Compared to yoga, Pilates is a spring chicken in terms of age. Joseph Pilates, who was born in Germany and suffered frail health as a child, created the program. Pilates overcame his childhood sicknesses through exercise and began to create a system of physical developmen! t that w ould later become his legacy to the world. In his thirties, Pilates traveled to England to work as a self-defense instructor to Scotland Yard but was forced into an internment camp during World War I. Despite the hardship of internment, Pilates went about his business within the camp, teaching his physical program to his fellow internees. During the terrible flu epidemic of 1918, thousands of people died, but none of Pilatesรข?? protร©gร©s were affected. Following the war, Pilates returned to Germany but left for good when asked to teach his method to the German army. Settling in New York City with his new wife, Pilates opened his first fitness studio. He taught thousands of students until his death in 1967 at the age of 87. Trusted students carried on with the Pilates name and method, and by the early twenty-first century more than 5 million Americans were practicing Pilates. Despite the wildly different histories, yoga and Pilates share the same focus on developing the muscles of the body and strengthening it by primarily using the bodyรข??s own resistance to build up power. The postures of yoga and the movements of Pilates are sometimes strikingly similar, but ultimately the two follow separate roads. Yoga has spawned a multitude of varieties that range from Kundalini to Iyengar to Tantric, though Hatha remains the most popular form in the United States. Many first-time yoga practitioners can find the pace to be overly slow or grow impatient while waiting to see results. The best candidate for Hatha yoga is a person who appreciates time to slow down, meditate, and spend quiet time with oneself, and does not become easily discouraged by failure to immediately master a pose. Yoga requires a certain measure of patience and while this can be developed through practice, lacking it can make the first several weeks of yoga practice very trying for a person. The good thing about yoga is that it rarely requires extra equipment. You will need a yoga mat to begin with but after that, accessories are o! ptional. Blocks, straps, and other tools can be helpful, but are not required. Pilates is a method that is fairly easy to master. It doesnรข??t call for complicated movements and is usually straightforward and simple to understand. The programรข??s movements also tend to build strength fairly quickly so that results are apparent sooner than in yoga. The ideal Pilates practitioner should be able to discipline himself to complete his routine every day, which is a large part of the method. Attending classes is a great way to start but for the maximum results, the method should be practiced daily. Pilates typically doesnรข??t require many props, though advanced practitioners will probably want to add tools to their workout in order to maintain a high level of fitness.

| Posted: 20 Jan 2012 12:00 AM PST Article by chris binnie Namaste Yoga Information We all know what yoga is. Whether you have seen a commercial of an individual twisted up like a pretzel, seen someone in an advertisement doing yoga, or heard a friend praise the exercise, you have heard of yoga. But do you know what Namaste yoga is? You might have heard of the benefits of Namaste yoga, but simply assumed that it was everyday yoga. However, it is important to realize that there are many different types of yoga. None are necessarily better than the other, but some are more suited for certain individuals than others might be. Here is some information on the Namaste school of yoga to help you understand this branch of yoga better. The Importance Of Namaste The word "Namaste" most literally means "I bow to you" in Indian. Namaste yoga begins with individuals putting their hands palms together in a steeple position. They then, at the same time, bow. This is where the Namaste school of yoga got its name. In most classes, this bow signifies the beginning and the end of the class. For traditional yoga, the saying of Namaste connects the exercise to the spiritual roots that it formed from. For many mainstream yoga participants, they neither know the meaning of the word Namaste nor really mean it when they say it. It is not spiritual but is instead tradition and what they were taught to do when learning Namaste yoga! Either way is fine when doing Namaste yoga, but it is still important to recognize the roots of the tradition. Finding Namaste Yoga If you are looking specifically for Namaste yoga exercise videos, chances are slim that you will find one. Though the term is used loosely in many yoga classes, the mainstream videos tend to use a collection of basic yoga exercises and do not use specific Namaste yoga poses. These videos are great if you need to do yoga on your own time, but if you are truly interested in learning the cultural importance behind yoga and the history of Namaste, you will need to enroll in a specific Namaste yog! a course . Make sure that the course is a Namaste study and not a hodge-podge mainstream yoga class. Yoga is beneficial for your both your mind and your body. Even if you cannot find a Namaste yoga class, it is still beneficial for you to enroll in a yoga course. You will learn a few specific Namaste poses and you can work on mastering them as well as the other yoga poses that you learn.

| Finding Affordable Yoga Clothing Posted: 19 Jan 2012 11:00 PM PST Article by chris binnie Finding Affordable Yoga Clothing If you love yoga, you probably love all of the gear associated with it. You want to have the best yoga mat, the best yoga music, yoga sweat bands, and yoga DVDs. You probably also want to have the best yoga clothes to wear during your work out. Here are some tips for finding affordable yoga clothing like pants and tops. Where Not To Look If you need yoga clothing, the best place to look for things like yoga pants and tops is NOT at a specialty store! Any specialty store will charge a ton for yoga pants and other clothing. You can find specialty yoga shops on line or in your local mall, but the bottom line is that these yoga pants and clothes are not worth the price you will pay. Sure, they are definitely made of better quality materials and have a higher craftsmanship than cheaper versions of yoga pants and clothing. But you have to ask yourself; do you really need the expensive version? Unless you are doing yoga several times a day, every day, the cheaper versions that are more affordable to the average consumer will work just fine for your needs. Where To Purchase Affordable Yoga Clothing There are several places you can go to purchase affordable yoga pants and other yoga clothing. The first, believe it or not, is any department store. Places like Target and Wal Mart are great stores to look in for affordable yoga pants and clothing. When you chose to purchase your yoga pants and clothing at a department store, you have to think outside of the box a little bit. These places most likely will not have clothing specifically labeled as yoga clothing or yoga pants. Instead, they will be "athletic clothing." If you know what type of material works best with your yoga work out, then you will be able to weed through this athletic clothing to find what will work for you for yoga pants and other clothing. Another great place to look for affordable yoga clothing like yoga pants and yoga tops is the internet. The internet is a great we! alth of information, and it includes countless online stores and some online auction sites as well. You can look for new or gently used yoga pants on nearly any auction site, or you might be able to find them on sale or clearance at an online merchandiser. Whatever you do, know that you do not have to spend a fortune to reap the health benefits of yoga! About the AuthorCheck out bible study topics and more Youth Ministry Resources.

| Thoughts on Elevating Your Regular Meditation and Quieting the Babbling Mind Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST Article by John LightHolder Meditation can have quite a few advantages. Relaxation is one of the most sought after benefits of meditations, on the other hand improved thinking, greater memory are a handful of the other advantages. It is just just recently that scientific studies like the UW-Madison study relating to brain changes induced by meditation, have acquired visibility. This has ushered many individuals who had previously not thought of meditation into being avid mediators. They're many types of meditation: chakra meditation, intentional meditation, breathing awareness, thought awareness etc... All these meditations have one point in common. They all demand a concerted undertaking to guide consciousness upon an item, it is usually an item a chakra, or possibly a thought. This intense concentration of consciousness is at first produced by focusing the mind and feelings on the target of meditation, as one advances they recognize they may be a lot more than the mind and thoughts. Bear in mind, meditation is usually quite difficult. Here are a handful of tips to stack things in your favor and boost your meditation. The number one headache in all of the meditations is the necessity to silence the human brain. Nearly all individuals upon beginning meditating fully grasp they're the same as a chipmunk on adrenaline and steroids and find it is very troublesome to silence the brain. All of the the random thoughts which dominate the day to day cerebral activity become rather noticeable along with a understanding gradually over time develops. These types of haphazard day to day thoughts in most cases remain present regardless of whether a good deal of attention has been used to still the mind. This is almost similar to these thoughts are being introduced within the human brain. As one explores deeper in to the meditation routine it will become obvious the numerous varieties of temptations. They tend to be the common everyday thoughts, the emotional triggers that could be sensed as pure emotions or thoughts and ofcourse t! here is the distractions in the body. From time to time the distraction can be a bothersome fly that has discovered just at what time to get on your nerves. It's possible to use breathing techniques to slow down the brain. Slow rythmic inhaling and exhaling as well as concentrating on the air flowing quiets the mind and brings in calmness. Avoiding caffeinated drinks is also always effective, should not feed the chipmunk. However, understanding that there exists a few energetic influences which have an impact on the brain and choosing the right resources to remove them can be quite helpful. During a typical meditation after a long days work, the thoughts typically change between instances of peace and thoughts about the regular worries. However, should you go into a large forest with old trees the emotions are more calm despite a long days work. Going to a big forest is a lot like going into an ocean of peace, here the inner storms are rapidly ushered to rest. Another approach may be to head over to the peak of a mountain, at increased elevations the thick thought forms of human beings are thinned like with our pollution. This is the reason quite a few people delight in hiking mountains or going across mountain ranges, most of these trips are overflowing with such an abundance of peace. People quite often embark upon these excursions and come back renewed men. They will generally talk about how there thoughts were so clear. An additional approach requires you to utilize energy healing techniques to enrich the energy inside the room. In the practice of meditation we try to attain the same clarity within the fog of our towns mental pollution. About the AuthorI am dedicated in my pursuit of spiritual knowledge and understanding.

| Posted: 19 Jan 2012 08:00 PM PST Article by Rickyponting Basically and essentially, a good meditation guide takes the guess work out of meditation. You will know in full how, when, where and most importantly why you meditate. You will know what to expect along the path to spiritual enlightenment. And you will learn about the many benefits that come as part of the meditative experience, including truth, purity, peace and love; both for yourself and for others in your life. There are the more strict techniques which are found in the more traditional schools such as zen or to a certain extent the traditional Buddhist meditations. These are not really that suitable for the use of music as the idea is to enforce a sort of nothingness. You have to simply allow any sort of thoughts or distractions appear in your mind and float away without you exploring them or becoming attached to them. Another pointer to remember to succeed in meditation is to block out any possible distractions which may include loud noises, uncomfortable clothing, extreme temperatures, and the like. The idea is to create a space and assume a position where you body and mind can relax and let go of the demanding thoughts and feelings that usually plague them. We lose our selves in running ahead of our selves in the possibility of a better future. We get lost in the concern of passing time. We get extremely caught up with our daily routines. We ignore our most important value sometimes just to be accepted by others and we loose our dignity and self-esteem by not following the small promises we make to our own selves. Meditation helps to attain a peaceful state of mind so that stress can be reduced. In mindfulness meditation you need to become more aware of your surroundings. As you become aware with the help of mindfulness meditation you will also become aware of the complicated issues to be faced in life. In mindfulness meditation you have to sit in a quite room and relax. You must be thinking about hoe to start with the practice. So there is no need to worry if you ha! ve no on e to guide you. You can use the Mindfulness Meditation Mp3 that is easily available in the market. These MP3s are very helpful especially for the beginners. Another thing that will help you acclimate with the meditation that you want to go out and do is to meditate on the same place again and again. Having a consistent place that you can go out and meditate to will enable you to acclimate faster. In the last several years, studies have been performed on meditation and its effect on the body. This research has indicated that meditating even 10 minutes a day can bring dramatic effects to the body. Those who practice Buddhist meditation are, for the most part, more relaxed and serene. They are happier, healthier people with a greater degree of focus and concentration, and are even known to be more honest and just.

| Meditation and Happiness: A Perfect Combination Posted: 19 Jan 2012 06:00 PM PST Article by Nicole Roberts Why meditate? This is a common question people on the outside looking in will ask when they examine a meditation session. From the outside, it looks rather boring. Looks can be inaccurate representations of what is truly occurring. There is much benefit derived from meditation process which is why the practice is such an important one to take part in. Among the most vital of all benefits would be the relaxed and calm state of mind that is developed. Such a state of mind is extremely helpful to those seeking inner peace because it is the pathway to true happiness. Yes, meditation and happiness go hand in hand. The relationship between meditation and happiness is not one that should be difficult to understand. The two go together quite well because one begets the other. This may seem like an obtuse notion on the surface but it really should not be. Let's return to out initial question of "Why meditate?" One common reason people like to meditate is because it can calm the mind. The human mind is often home to a lot of chaos and noise. This can undermine our ability to concentrate or even have lucid thoughts. Physical manifestations of a chaotic mind are usually not helpful to those seeking peace and tranquility. Meditation can help calm a distracted and "noisy" mind. Doing so help remove a great deal of the problems one can suffer from when the mind is the source of stress and distraction. To say removing such problems from the equation would enhance a person's levels of happiness would be an understatement. A complete change of personality could occur as the mind becomes calmer and less of a source of confusion. Meditation also can help uncover and defeat the negative components within the subconscious mind. This would certainly provide a boost to one's ability to improve happiness. Life is a collective of experiences and these experiences leave impressions on the human mind. In some instances, these impressions are not positive ones and they can cause depression and other l! imiting states of mind. Mediation can get to the root of such subconscious issues and reverse the negativity they cause. Once you uncover what is in the subconscious mind, you can free yourself of its hold. That will put you on the pathway to a happier life with the right effort. Therefore, the concept of right effort and how it ties into meditation and happiness is worth exploring a little closer. In order to make meditation work for you in the most effective manner possible, you will need to be consistent and diligent with your meditation sessions. Those that are inconsistent or do not put the proper effort into the process will discover meditation and happiness are a fusion that proves elusive. Halfhearted approaches almost always lead to halfhearted results. Meditation and happiness work in concert with one another. Those willing to put the proper time into the practice of meditation will discover the unlimited potential that can be gained. Such gains include the improvement of the peace and tranquility of the mind. So, why meditate? It can improve your life for the better.

| Frequently Asked Questions On Yoga Posted: 19 Jan 2012 05:00 PM PST Article by Rob Owens Yoga has been around for an incredibly long time and over that period different practitioners have added their own refinements and styles into the basic Yoga discipline. There are so many different styles now it is nearly impossible to count, but they all stem from the same core philosophy and methodology. Unfortunately the multiple different styles often lead newcomers to the exercise discipline to become very confused as to what they are doing and what they can hope to achieve with Yoga. In this article we answer some of the common questions. What is Yoga? This question is the most common from newcomers. Most people have a general idea but they are not sure where Yoga fits into the world. Is it an exercise? Is it a philosophy? Is it a form of physical therapy? Is it a spiritual process? The answer is that to different people Yoga is all of these things. At it's core it is a group of exercises and poses which are very low impact and work by strengthening the body and increasing it's flexibility through static exercise. This means that each pose will 'stretch' a certain area and the body benefits from this stretch by increased blood flow and energy release. Many of the exercises release tension from areas of the body that regular activities do not cater to. Because Yoga is performed slowly and with a strong emphasis on correct breathing patterns there is also a strong mental and spiritual element to the exercise. It is seen as a way of cleansing mind, body and spirit. Do I Need To Be Religious To Get The Most Out Of Yoga? As mentioned above Yoga is different things to different people. There are many people in the world who perform Yoga purely for it's spiritual benefits. There are many others who perform Yoga purely for the physical benefits associated with it. What you get out of Yoga will depend largely on your mindset, your openness to new ideas and your ability to let yourself fall fully into a meditative state. For some people this is very difficult at first, but tha! t is sti ll not going to prevent them from getting the physical benefits associated with Yoga classes. You will find that even if you do not have any strong spiritual base you will still benefit from an increase in your self-confidence and personal contentment. Where Can I Do Yoga? Practically anywhere. Many people practice Yoga in their homes every day. Others will go to the local park and practice Yoga with a group of friends. To begin with it's a good idea to inquire at your local gym about Yoga classes, many of them will be holding Yoga every day. Even if they aren't they will be able to tell you where the best place to learn Yoga is. Some local councils sponsor Yoga classes in their area in recognition of the benefits to people who exercise regularly. One of the big advantages of a Yoga based exercise regime is that there is no expensive equipment to buy and then store around your house. Some poses are assisted by cushions to support the body, but in general the only thing you need is your body. I'm Not Very Fit - Is Yoga For Me? Yes. Very much so. One of the fantastic things about Yoga is that the exercises and poses you will learn can be adjusted to your level. Fitness isn't usually a problem because the exercises are slow and often static, but your body will become better at performing them over time as your strength and flexibility improves. Knowing your limit and ensuring that you don't 'ease up' out of habit gain the best benefit. Hopefully you will now have a good understanding of what yoga is and why you should be doing it. Remember that Yoga is something that once learned can be practiced anywhere you like and as often as you like. Indeed, this is one of the key components of Yoga's popularity. About the AuthorR.

| Meditation Techniques for Beginners Posted: 19 Jan 2012 05:00 PM PST Article by Kevin Wood I'm sure by now your wondering how exactly you can get started with meditating daily. What techniques can be used for someone just starting out with meditation? I'd like to touch on a couple very simple meditation techniques for beginners and how to achieve the right mindset for meditation success. To begin I'd like to highlight the simplest, yet most important aspect of any meditation techniques for beginners. It's a little thing called BREATHING! You might be thinking I breathe everyday, but I'm still really stressed out!? Well hold on a second it's not just breathing for the sake of staying alive, it's more so becoming aware of the simple act of breathing. So pure, natural,and calming, yet sometimes it seems as if it the one thing we forget to do! I'd like you to sit up in your chair, or couch, or wherever you are at this moment, and take five deep breaths (in the nose and out the mouth.) I bet your feeling much more relaxed than you were a couple minutes ago. Now imagine what this simple act can do if used in sync with all of the other meditation techniques for beginners that you'll learn here. Next on the list of meditation techniques for beginners is the act of being present in every moment. Practicing this whenever you get a chance will not only improve the quality of your life by leaps and bounds, but it will improve your meditation practice as well! How great is that! So how exactly do we implement this technique? Just try to be present in every act you do throughout the day. If your washing the dishes simply focus on that act and that act alone, feel the warm water rush over your hands, smell the scents of the fruity dish soap, be aware of your breathing in that moment. You can apply this way of thinking to every event throughout your day! It can add vibrant moments of life to even the most mundane tasks! I'd like to wrap up my meditation techniques for beginners with the question what time of day should I meditate? This has been a personal struggle for me; in ! the begi nning finding time during the day to meditate was almost impossible! However, I did say almost. I started with meditating whenever I got a chance, a half hour there, and hour after lunch, I tried to squeeze it in whenever possible. However, the greatest, and most beneficial changes came when I would meditate every morning. Something about waking up with the sun and exploring the inner depths of my mind would make it impossible for me to have a bad day! So now I ask you, when you begin try to pick a time that you have free everyday, consistency is key.If your not a morning person, then meditate at night, it's as simple as that. But just once give yourself the pleasure of a early morning meditation: you, your mind, and the sun all waking up at the same time and greeting the day. I promise you will love it! That about wraps up my meditation techniques for beginners, but these techniques mentioned are just scratching the surface. Remember breathing, being in the moment, and picking the right time of day were the actions we just covered. I promise that if you implement or at least make a conscious effort to apply the above suggestions to your life and meditation routine, you will not regret it!

Often in yoga classes you will find wood floors or cement. These surfaces are hard and your yoga mat will provide some comfort.A good reason to use a mat during yoga workout, is to give your hands and feet a good grip surface. You will spend a lot of time with your hands and feet on the floor when practicing your poses. And while holding your asanas you need not to slip or your mat to slip. Usually yoga mats are slightly sticky and it's that stickiness that helps you stay somehow in stability by having a better grip and avoid to slip and cause some injuries.Yoga mats, as your prefered yoga accessories, are not only used flat on the floor.

Sitting poses are frequent in yoga and usually longer that upwards poses, you will appreciate the extra comfort of rolling your mat.What is recommended is a yoga mat of ¼ inch thick at least (for pilates you can go up to 1 inch thick), the length can vary between 62 to 85 inches, the width can be from 20 to 50 inches. Your shoulders can be a good measure to decide of the width. You should have about 4-6 inches extra mat space on each side of your shoulders.Do you wonder what type of yoga mat you should buy? Well, some are made in standard PVC or PVC latex-free materials. These l! atex fre e mats content no harsh chemicals, so they are free of that chemical smell that can be overwhelming sometimes. These mats are good for those who suffer of latex allergies. You can also find, what we call, green mats. These natural yoga mats can be made of organic plants, or cotton, natural rubber, organic hemp or jute fibers. You can also prefer using a simple cotton rug that some suppliers are also promoting. These green mats are a little bit more expensive but the investment for that yoga accessory is worth.Did you know that you also need to clean your yoga mat? We all sweat at different degree and the oils from your hands can make your yoga accessory slippery. So it is recommended to clean your mat on a regular basis. Standard mat can be soaked in your bath in cold water and vinegar. After soaking just rinse it, squeeze the excess of water and let it dry. Some cotton mat or rug can be machine washable. By washing it you will clean up the sweat, oil and germs. Just read the label supplied by your merchant to find out the best way to clean your yoga accessory. If you don't want to bother by cleaning or washing your mat you can find on the web yoga mat cover. These cover usually are machine washable. Don't forget also to purchase a yoga bag. Yoga bags, as the second important yoga accessories, will help to carry and protect you mat.

| Simple ways to discover how to meditate Posted: 19 Jan 2012 02:00 PM PST Article by Lucian Basescu Meditation is among the proven option therapies. It could be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine.There are lots of various ways to Meditate, although their objectives are similar. It reminds me of the saying, 'There are many paths to God.' I think it is wrong to say that one Meditation Method / path is better than an additional, because you are judging a person's journey, and you do not know from where they've come. Their path is ideal for them, as yours is for you. As such, I won't say that any of the meditation methods listed below are much better than the others. I encourage you to explore the doors that open prior to you to learn through experience, so you can determine for your self. Each meditation starts by drawing an awareness to your breath. You consciously watch your breath as it becomes more deep and slow. You then follow the words of the guide and scan your body for areas of tension. Your eyes, jaw, or shoulders are often held tight with out your realization. Taking a moment to focus on every body part can release tension and often relieves annoying aches and pains. This instruction is all given to you step by step, and you're led through the procedure from start to finish. Anybody can do it. You can feel balanced, conscious and total in just a few short minutes. In this relaxed and conscious state, you are then taken on a journey into your imagination. And as your conscious mind follows the words and creates the photos, the 'chatter' of your mind naturally falls away. Concerns of the real world aren't your priority. The ties and anchors to your issues are released, so that whenever you do return, you are able to view your present scenario with greater clarity and freshened perspective. And just as a child can select from a library of books, you too can choose from a number of Guided Meditations. Prior to you start exploring, you need to know that we also send out a totally free newsletter that covers various spiritual ! topics a nd how you can meditate utilizing various transcendental techniques from both the East and also the West. It also has a natural health focus on holistic medicine, peak human performance, metaphysical topics and spiritual cultivation.

Meditation isn't thought to have any negative side effects or complications alone or when combined with conventional medical treatment, but it isn't considered appropriate or secure for acute, life-threatening situations. Always tell your physician if you're using an option therapy or if you are thinking about combining an option therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be secure to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy. A Correct Meditation Posture plays a very important role throughout meditation.
