The Meditation You Need Every Morning For A Better Day – Meditation Practice


so in today’s session I hope to give you
some practical step-by-step insights
into the practice of meditation and and
also lead you through a guided
meditation so you can get a insight into
it I always tell people we spend so much
time cleaning our homes cleaning out
from yards or offices how a car we clean
out hey if you have any your years your
nose your mouth your clothes how much
time do you actually spend cleaning your
subconscious mind when was the last time
you actually cleaned out your
subconscious probably not in a while
right and this is an accumulation of
experiences and quite often unresolved
emotional experiences over a long period
of time and that’s the first thing you
encounter when you start to meditate and
go within yourself one of the most
important things you need to realize on
the path of meditation that who you are
right now is the sum total of your
entire life if you’re 40 years old
it took 40 years to create who you are
right now it’s going to take a few years
to uncreate some of these behavioral
patterns it’s not gonna happen
instantaneously meditation is not an
instantly gratifying exercise it’s not
like going to do yoga for an hour and
you leave the yoga studio feeling great
how do you approach meditation you
approach meditation step-by-step if
you’ve never meditated before I
recommend meditating one minute a day
you know people come up to me right
before New Year’s and say dhandapani
understand meditating 30 minutes every
day now my first question to them is how
often do you meditate now how long do
you meditate now and they go oh I don’t
meditate at all they’re like well that’s
great that practice is gonna last you
all all of three days right because it’s
just not sustainable if you’re not
sitting down quietly now to meditate
start with one minute a day do it Monday
to Friday
and then go from that what’s important
in a meditation practice creating a
daily ritual creating a daily ritual is
extremely important in a meditation
practice what’s my ritual I wake up in
the morning I answer the call of nature
I take a shower I change my clothes and
I go straight to my meditation room I
don’t update my facebook status
I don’t tweet and check my emails and
then I sit down and I meditate once I’ve
done with my meditation then I interact
with my wife I I checked my email I
worked on my business the best time to
meditate his first thing in the morning
so since the subject is boss and time is
short I’m going to lead you through a
meditation process okay so we’ll sit
with our spine straight head nicely and
gently balance on top of our spine eyes
are closed we take a slow deep breath in
breathing in really slowly and then
exhaling really slowly as well and do
this at your own pace we all have
different lung capacities so this not a
competition take another slow break deep
breath when you’re ready and slowly
slow deep breath in slowly exhale the
first step in meditation is to try and
feel the energy within your body so I
want you to visualize the physical body
sitting here and I want you to visualize
within your body that your body is
completely filled with energy okay so
you can visualize energy as a bright
white light filling your entire physical
body visualization is a big part of a
meditation practice so visualize the
entire body filled with energy remember
as we talked about earlier meditation is
the process of harnessing and getting to
know energy harnessing we’re drawing it
to a central location and that’s what
we’re gonna do we’re gonna do this in a
systematic process so try now that
you’re visualizing energy inside of your
body try to feel energy and if you can’t
feel energy try to feel the warmth of
your body
remember in science heat is a form of
energy so if you can feel the warmth
within your body you can feel the energy
within your body so it’s that simple if
you want to feel energy just feel the
warmth within your body if you can feel
the warmth of your body you can feel the
energy within your body now I want you
to visualize miles and miles and nerves
flowing throughout your entire physical
body that’s flowing down your spine
throughout your torso throughout your
arms into your hands into your fingers
down your leg into your feet into your
very tips of your toes like roots of a
tree
imagine miles and miles nerves flowing
throughout your entire physical body
[Music]
now I want you to visualize all the
energy in your left toes being absorbed
into the nervous system the same way the
roots of a tree would suck up water and
nutrients from the ground and draw it
into the roots and send it to the trunk
we want to draw all the energy from our
left leg and send it into our spine our
spine is the center and that’s why we
want to gather all this energy so you
imagine all the energy in your toes
being gathered into the nervous system
it’s flowing inward and upward it’s
flowing through your foot flowing
through your left foot flowing up your
left ankle flowing up your left calf
your leg flowing through your left knee
your left thigh and into your spine if
you find that your awareness is drifting
away and you’re thinking about something
else
gently and lovingly bring it back don’t
become frustrated with this process if
you’re not used to concentration it’s
going to take a little while to do so
bring your awareness back to the
practice draw all your energy from your
left leg into your spine now become
aware of your right leg become aware of
the nervous system within your right
toes energy being absorbed into the
nervous system flowing inward and upward
through your right foot your right ankle
flowing up your right leg through your
calf through your right knee up your
right thigh and into your spine feel all
the energy in your right leg being drawn
into your spine we’re gathering all the
energy into our spine which is a center
become aware of your left fingers the
energy within your left fingers being
absorbed into the nervous system flowing
inward and upward down your fingers
towards the palm of your hand
flowing through the palm of your hand
through your entire left arm through
your left shoulder through the entire
left torso and into your spine okay and
if you can feel this happening great if
you can’t feel this happening it’s okay
visualize this process taking place
visualization is a big part of
meditation become aware of your right
hand now your right fingers the nervous
system within your right fingers feel
the energy being absorbed into the
nervous system flowing inward and upward
through your right palm your right wrist
throughout your entire right arm all the
way into your right shoulders through
your right torso and into your spine
your spine is your Center you’re
gathering all your energy into a central
location hold that energy in your spine
and if you cannot feel your spine gently
move your back from left to right so you
can see where your spinous hold that
energy then keep your awareness on your
spine we’re where Anna’s goes that’s
where your energy flows so if you can
keep your awareness in your spine that’s
where your energy will be flowing your
eyes are still closed you’re
concentrated if you find your awareness
drifting away bring it back use your
world power use your powers of
concentration hold your awareness here
feel your entire physical body filled
with this renewed energy and the feeling
of courage the same way that when you
attend a meeting there’s a clear agenda
everybody’s on the same page and then
you send them back out to do their work
you just did the same thing with with
your energy you drew it into your spine
which is your meeting room you had a
clear agenda you infused your energy
with that feeling and now you sent it
back out into your body again now slowly
open your eyes and adjust yourselves to
your surroundings and you can lean back
into your chest so this is a really
simple meditation practice that’s
extremely powerful I’ve been doing this
practice for the last two-and-a-half
decades and I haven’t modified it one
bit meditation is about doing the same
thing over and over and over again and
the deeper and deeper you were the more
and more you repeat the practice the
deeper and deeper you actually get into
it if you watch professional athletes
you watch a professional tennis player
at Wimbledon right before the finals
he’s warming up on the tennis court do
you see him trying trick serves or does
he practice the same serving the ball
the same way he does every single day
it’s the same serve right even though
it’s the Wimbledon finals he practices
the same serve how many time has he done
how many times has he done it a thousand
ten thousand probably hundreds of
thousands of times
it’s about mastering a practice and
remember the main reason for meditation
is for you to become in tune with your
higher nature and the reason we want to
do that is because life is meant to be
lived joyously it truly is you have one
life regardless of what your faith is
what your background is whether you
believe in reincarnation or one life or
there’s nothing that happens after life
you have one life as you are and life is
not short but life is finite it
definitely is finite
I don’t believe life is short
but I do believe life is finite and my
goal is to live a joyous life in the way
to live a joyous life is to become in
tune with the highest version of you and
meditation allows you to do that thank you very much everyone
