Techniques for Meditation-Beginner

The Elevator

Here's my technique for beginners. It may sound a little bit cheezy at first, but you won't be saying that a few minutes in.

Until You Work Your Way To Advanced, Here Goes:

Sit criss crossed and close your eyes. Take a few moments and simply focus on your breathing, attempting to keep your mind clear and any racing thoughts under control. If any thoughts race by, don't try to fight them, just think it, let them pass, and focus on your breathing.

Imagine yourself as CEO of a major company, walking into an elevator on the top floor of a skyscraper. The doors open and you walk inside. On the right are ten floors, you push the button for floor one, and your journey begins. With each floor you go down, say to yourself the mantra "you are getting into a deeper, more relaxing state of meditation." Don't change floors until each exhale, and go slow, it takes a TON of patience to really get into the state of clear, intelligent bliss associated with meditation.

Once you get to the bottom floor, picture the elevator doors opening to a beach, one in which you walk over to the ocean, sit with your legs crossed and begin to meditate. Yes, a meditation inside a meditation, it's getting intense!

Okay so now, begin to clear your thoughts, and focus on total clarity of thought, and whatever it is that you need a solution to, would like to improve, or would like to silence within your mind.

It's your mind

It's your mind, and now it's open, explore it while in meditation, so that when you come out, you feel a sense of having accomplished something grand.

Coming Out of Meditation-The Energy Boost!

When you're ready to leave meditation (for beginners I suggest 15-20 minutes), simply wake yourself up on

the beach, and walk back into the elevator, telling yourself with each floor up "you are getting more awake and alert." Once you get to the top, let the doors open to the room in which your meditating, and astral project into your body. Snap your fingers and open your eyes, you should feel at least some sense of being a genius after that "trip" you just went on.
