Meditation for Beginners: 20 Practical Tips for Quieting the Mind. Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Todd Goldfarb at the We The Change blog.
Meditation is the art of focusing 100% of your attention in one area. The practice comes with a myriad of well-publicized health benefits including increased concentration, decreased anxiety, and a general feeling of happiness. Although a great number of people try meditation at some point in their lives, a small percentage actually stick with it for the long-term. This is unfortunate, and a possible reason is that many beginners do not begin with a mindset needed to make the practice sustainable. The purpose of this article is to provide 20 practical recommendations to help beginners get past the initial hurdles and integrate meditation over the long term: 1) Make it a formal practice. 2) Start with the breath. 4) Meditate with Purpose. 5) Notice frustration creep up on you. 6) Experiment. 7) Feel your body parts. 8) Pick a specific room in your home to meditate. 9) Read a book (or two) on meditation.

5 of 5. How to Access Superconsciousness. Chakra Meditation. Introduction. More than 2,000 years ago the Hindu yogis of India made a special effort to tune in to, and map, the energies of the 'aura' or 'subtle body'. Since then various, sometimes contradictory, descriptions have come down to us via a number of different routes including 'tantric yoga', 'laya yoga', kundalini yoga' and (relatively recently) 'theosophy'. The apparent contradictions between different traditions surely illustrate that this can be a complex and difficult area to investigate.
With that complexity in mind, however, I have attempted to supply here a simple introductory 'generic' chakra meditation that synthesises information from a number of sources. Not claiming to be an expert in this area, I would suggest that anyone wanting to go further with subtle body work should a) quite probably, find a teacher who knows what they ate talking about b) get clued up on the the different traditions alluded to above. So is there anything we focus on here that is NOT metaphorical? Chakras. How To Open The 7 Chakras.
Kundalini Meditation. As the Kundalini energy successively passes through the seven Chakras, it energizes each one of them by removing any blockage there, thus releasing the full potential of each Chakra with its special characteristics, and in the process conferring spiritual/paranormal powers (referred to as “Siddhis” in Hinduism) to the practitioner of Kundalini meditation.
But spiritual teachers advise their students not to get hung up on these powers as they can hinder the process of spiritual growth. As mentioned earlier, Kundalini meditation must be practiced under the strict guidance of a spiritual teacher if you want to experience positive outcome. Kundalini syndrome refers to the negative effects of improperly practiced Kundalini meditation.
