Easy Meditation Technique

Meditation is no rocket science and there is an easy meditation technique that you can practice every day without requiring any guidance. Most people feel that meditation is an art while others feel that there is a scientific way of doing it.

The truth is that meditation is as easy as taking a walk in the park! I like to call it “Life Practice Meditation”. In fact, you can meditate even while walking in the neighborhood or in the nature and achieve the two main objectives - relaxation and peace.

Now you are probably wondering what kind of easy meditation technique I am talking about and if it is really as easy as it sounds. The fact of the matter is that this meditation technique consists of multiple layers, and you can focus on one layer a day or all of them. You can even pick one of the layers and focus that for a month. Each layer of this easy meditation technique can be practiced for 5 minutes or 20 minutes or even more depending on your level of comfort.

The Technique

There are at least 4 layers in this meditation technique, and you can add more as you feel like. We will look at each layer at a time and walk you through it so that you can do it at home or in a park or in any place. The layers in this meditation technique will help you deal with your work stress, every day personal stress, anxiety, tension, and at the same time, ensure you have a healthy mind and body.

Walking Meditation

This is the first layer of this meditation technique and can be practiced every while you are walking. It is an integral part of age old "Vipassana" meditation. In this type of meditation exercise, you need to focus primarily on the motion of your feet and legs. You have to merely observe the movement and not focus on the muscles or any other sensation in your feet. It can be best done bare feet and on grass.

Hand Movement

This is the second layer of the easy meditation technique and involves the physical movement of different parts of your body. It is an integral part of mindfulness meditation and can be performed sitting down or lying down. The objective is to focus on the movements of your hand.

Mindful Eating

Mindful eating is an intensive Vipassana meditation that helps in building a continuity of awareness. In mindful eating, you will need to focus on various aspects of eating. Here are some examples: Keep the food on the table (Focus: keeping); Sit down on the table (focus: sitting); Move the knife and fork toward the food (Focus: movement of objects) etc. You will need to stop after every step like take the first bite and stop, swallow the first bite and stop etc.



Observe your Breath

This is the fourth layer of the easy meditation technique and its objective is to help you focus on your breathing and create higher concentration of the mind. This is a sitting exercise and you will need to close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You need to ensure that your breathing is normal and not fast or slow. Don't try to control the breathing. Simply breathe in and out. You can do it up to 100 times and then slowly open your eyes. This exercise is applied mostly for reducing stress, for relaxation of the mind and body, and concentration.
