How to Do Moving Meditation

How to Do Moving Meditation



Meditation begins with sitting in silent awareness of breath and the kundalini energy, but it only starts there. You can extend meditation into your day through all kinds of activities. Some may seem obvious to support meditation. Some may appear more likely to negate it. Either way, you can enter stillness where you least expect to. Let's take a look at how to stand up from your half-lotus, go out into the world and practice moving meditation.









1


Wash dishes, clean floors or vacuum. Experience the deep satisfaction of cleansing and release. Luxuriate in the sensation of warm water and the scent of soap. Feel peaceful order descend on your living room, as you vacuum it free of dust and fur.





2


Fold laundry. Absorb the clean warmth of shirts, socks and towels as you fold them and put them away. Sustain a quiet pin-point focus on every seam and corner.





3


Go to your swimming pool, basketball court, Ultimate Frisbee practice--whatever you do to work out. Start exercising. Pay attention to the movements of your hands and feet. Feel the bright circulation of energy in your system. Breathe full and deep.





4


Take a walk. Focus your awareness on the chakras two fingers below your naval, at the center of your chest and between your eyebrows. Breathe light and easy.

How to Do Kegel Exercises

How to Do Kegel Exercises



Kegel exercises have multiple uses for men and women. They are most commonly used to assist with bladder and bowel control issues, reduce the pain of menstrual cramps, improve sexual enjoyment and ease childbirth. These exercises actually strengthen the pelvis floor muscles which are a critical component to supporting the function of the important organs in this region. The exercises are easy to do and can be completed anywhere at anytime.









1


Isolate the appropriate muscle by standing up straight and place you hand on the front of your lower abdomen.





2


Contract your pelvic floor muscles, while in this position. The sensation is similar to when you need to pee but are holding it. This is the correct sensation. Your pelvis should not move, as this exercise is focusing on the internal muscles.





3


Strengthen this muscle by tightening, hold for a count of three, then releasing. Repeat this 10 times.





4


Recheck your technique--be sure that you are not holding your breath or clenching your abdominal muscle.





5


Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times a day. Each day, increase the length of the hold by a count of two. These exercises can be done while standing in line, on the bus, in the car, or anywhere else. They are invisible to others, but provide a great benefit to you.





6


Follow this regime and within 2 weeks you will see a noticeable difference in the length of time that you are able to hold the muscle and an increase in bladder control.





7


Expect to have gained a noticeable increase in bladder control, after approximately 4 weeks of this program. An added bonus of these exercises is an increase in sexual enjoyment for women. Expectant mothers generally experience easier delivery and reduction in tearing during natural childbirth.





8


Try Pilates if you would like to continue to work on this area, but would like to see some outward improvements, such as a reduction in the size of your lower abdomen. Kegel exercises are a critical part of Pilates and thanks to your efforts, you will be able to take full advantage of the benefits of that exercise program.








Tips & Warnings










Remember to check if you are holding your breath, or if your body has moved position. If it has, you are not performing the exercise correctly. Relax and try again!

How to Do Japa Meditation

How to Do Japa Meditation



Japa meditation may help to clear your mind of daily worry and soothe your spirit. Practitioners the world over use this technique to find peace, calm and tranquility within. Japa meditation uses chanting, or the repetition of a mantra, to focus and still the mind.









1


Choose your own mantra, which can be any word or phrase that you like, as long as it is positive. Many people will chant the name of their deity, the name of an object they find soothing, such as a river or a flower, or a phrase from a poem or from a holy book.





2


Say a prayer before you begin your meditation and chanting. The prayer, said with closed eyes, should create a pure and meditative state. Concentrate on either your mind or heart and ask your deity for assistance in your meditation. Then state your mantra once, slowly and clearly. Begin your meditative repetition of your mantra and continue until you finish your meditation.

Do Japa meditation in two forms. You may practice meditation in whispers or a low speaking voice, known as Vaikhari Japa. With silent Japa meditation, or Manasika Japa, you repeat the mantras silently in the mind.

How to Do Hypnotherapy

How to Do Hypnotherapy



If you know nothing about hypnotherapy, you may have the notion that it's about someone swinging a shiny gold watch in front of your face and telling you that you're getting very sleepy. Another image people might get is hypnotized people jumping around on stage while clucking like chickens. But hypnotherapy actually has many healing benefits and is a valid medical treatment, according to the American Medical Association. Here is how to practice hypnotherapy.







Things You'll Need:





a volunteer









1


The first thing to understand is that you cannot be hypnotized to do things that you don't want to do consciously or subconsciously.





2


A successful hypnotherapy session is mostly contingent on trust. It cannot be done if the volunteer is skeptical or resistant. Make sure that your volunteer has complete trust in you so they can allow themselves to fully relax. Also, be sure to choose a safe and comfortable environment to perform the session.





3


Relaxation is key to hynotherapy. Have your volunteer relax his body.





4


Next, tell your volunteer to eliminate any mental and external distractions. This can be done having the volunteer focus on the breath or by having her count lines on the wall. You can also have your volunteer imagine themselves as you describe a peaceful and relaxing scenario for them.





5


There are two types of hynotic states; the first is superficial. This means the volunteer is accepting suggestions while under hypnosis but necessarily carry them out after regaining awareness.





6


The next type is less common, and it's called somnambulistic. This is when you make suggestions and the volunteer actually caries them out after regaining awareness. Being in this state often results in increased relaxation, heightened senses, an increase in internal awareness and a decreased awareness of physical surroundings.








Tips & Warnings










The World Health Organization warns people with psychosis, organic psychiatric conditions or antisocial personality disorders against doing hypnotherapy.
