I decided to take up meditation as a New Year's resolution, for a variety of reasons. I recognized some qualities in myself that I wanted to confront, and it seemed that meditation was just the next natural step in my journey of self-actualization. Deciding I wanted to learn how to meditate was the easy part. Figuring out how to learn it was the hard part. There are SO MANY different types of meditation, and even more meditation philosophies to sort through. I read what I could online, but meditation is not necessarily easy to understand... that is, until you've done it. After some trial and error, I came across the "Simple Meditation for Beginners" course. I was a beginner, and I preferred simplicity, so it sounded perfect. Here are the details of my experience with this program:
Even though there are many types of meditation - from meditation of the transcendental kind to Zen meditation - health professionals agree that a beginner should not mind struggling with them. Meditation is easy and simple, even beginners can do it and everyone can benefit from it.
What came with the course. "Simple Meditation for Beginners" is broken into four parts - one per week. You get an instructional eBook for each week to help you develop meditation skills gradually, as well as a course manual (which gives you an overview of the entire process) and five guided meditation MP3s. You also get a virtual journal to record your progress (I was not too into this idea, but eventually came around to seeing the benefits).
Pluses. This course is super-easy to follow. You can tell the creator is a genuine lover of meditation, and that he honestly wants to help people learn. That meant a lot to me, as I felt that I was being guided by a friend. For the price, I cannot imagine a better starter program.
Minuses. For people (like myself) who are interested in learning about the deeper points of meditation (like the chakras and transcendentalism, for example), the course seemed a bit simplistic. Sure, I learned the basics... but I was left with the feeling that I needed to continue on in my studying if I wanted to truly grasp all that meditation had to offer me. This course is most definitely "for beginners," as it states, and you will have to do further research if you want to progress on your meditation journey.
The best meditation technique for beginners is the binaural beats. It is the most effective method in going through a deep meditation as fast as possible is through binaural beats. These are sounds that affect the brain waves which are responsible for relaxation. Listen to these sounds to quickly enter into a meditative state fast. These techniques have become the most famous and most effective in removing frustration and struggle that are faced by people who meditates when meditating. Simply putting on an audio through headsets will help you to easily enter into a state of deep meditation, bliss and relaxation. Binaural beats are very effective and will only require you to sit and listen in a quiet place.While meditation works for many individuals, the effects of this vary among each individual. Each person must just have to believe in what they are doing and have faith that it will do them good.
