Meditation Tips
The Do’s and Don'ts



To meditate is to follow a journey and in the absence of proper meditation tips, the path that you choose may not help you in good practice. Before you begin practicing, it is important to know the do's and don'ts of meditation.

The Don'ts of Meditation

  • Never treat meditation as an obligation or an obsession.
  • It should not be a forced practice.
  • Don’t give up practice mid-way unless you actually need to due to health or any other emergency
  • Don’t meditate at odd hours like after dinner or in the mid afternoon
  • Don’t use negative energy like anger to channelize your meditation practice
  • Don’t fall asleep during meditation
  • Don’t let your mind wander away into other thoughts than that of the core area of focus
  • Don’t keep checking time during meditation practice
  • Don’t start by meditating for long time durations if you are a beginner

What clients say

I went to Massimo for a healing session in which I experienced calmness and opening of my heart.
All the sadness I had as a child and images from my childhood went by and were gone. An hour treatment went by like ten minutes. In other times I experienced very deep meditations, quietness, yet very alert and awake. Thanks Massimo for helping me get in touch with the healing force within me.

- Liat, Netanya, Israel

 

Dear Massimo, thanks so much for your healing sessions. So many things changed and improved since the beginning of your treatments. You are very gifted and all you are doing arises from the depth of your heart and the depth of the knowledge you channel. I highly recommend you as a healer.

- Zvi, Tel Aviv, Israel

 

Good luck: with this single word I can express what I feel to have met Massimo.
I have been knowing him for 10 years and working with him I have done a path to awareness.
He is a good teacher, sincere, honest, which guides you to the truth and peace that our heart desires and can achieve.
 
- Tiziana, Arezzo, Italy

 

For me, healing means integrity and the consistency of living my daily life, relationships and job in the way of my true "I".
Massimo has the rare ability to lead people, and therefore me, to
transform obstacles that stand between you and what you want to realize in available energy. He does so with great respect, patience and lack of judgment.
Massimo, thanks for all that I get from you.

- Maria, Udine, Italy





When Massimo gave me healing sessions online, I experienced him as a sensitive and dedicated man who has the gift to sense into deeper layers of the soul and affect them in a gentle and non intruding way. His careful way of approaching the pain in my eyes and the feedback he gave me from his sensitive perceptions helped me to gain trust and confidence in my healing process.
