it is easy for many of us to have difficult days. It may feel like there is chaos that is surrounding us. It may also seem that our thoughts and the different circumstances lead us to a fast paced life. The ability to step back and approach your life from a different perspective can help you to find better solutions to help you ground and focus.
The approach I use when I have a difficult day is natural meditation. Once you understand the parameters of this practice, then it is easy to do at any time. It is not the type of meditation that requires discipline, breathing techniques or placing your body in different positions. You can practice the same meditation while you are walking or sitting still. The more comfortable you are with this practice, the easier it is to clear and find a state of peace.
When you begin, you will want to concentrate on the meditation technique for 20 minutes. You can close your eyes or simply observe with your eyes open. As you stay in this meditation position, you will want to observe every thought or distraction that takes you away from being in the moment. You will want to look at thoughts that cause you to not be present. Emotions may come up that don't allow you to stay present. You will want to observe these as they move through your body.
As you observe the distractions, you will want to then move into slowing everything down. You will specifically want to focus on slowing your thinking down. After you have observed the difficulties you have, then you can quiet your thinking. You want to make sure that you don't react or judge the thoughts you have. Instead, observe what arises and take everything as it is. Your only task is to sit quietly for 20 minutes or longer and to simply allow the thoughts to arise and move through you.
The idea of this natural meditation is to simply accept everything as it is. You may find yourself wanting to get up or change positions, causing this to move you out of your current state. You may become impatient, checking the time continuously for your next task. These are all formats that take place in the mind and cause you to loose your presence in the current moment. It is best to sit quietly without reacting or engaging in the thoughts, impulses or sounds you hear.
This simple practice of natural meditation will offer the opportunity to create peace of mind in the middle of any situation. If you feel that there is chaos, then you can apply this into every day life and in any environment. The result will be transformational changes that apply to every area of your life.
