Going to a meditation retreat is great. It gives one an extra dose of high-powered relaxation, along with an opportunity to learn better meditation techniques. For those who are newly interested in meditation or just want a special experience, going to a retreat is optimal.
But once the retreat is over, you have to go back home. And if you find benefits from meditation, you will want to have meditation a part of your daily life. A great help with this is to use a spiritual cd for guided meditation.
From The Retreat?
If you did go to a retreat, often the retreat itself will offer you a spiritual meditation cd to use once you get home. Using the spiritual meditation cd from the retreat can help you easily glide once again into the meditation patterns from the retreat, and you can find it most relaxing.
From Online?
If you didn’t go to a retreat or want something different than what the retreat offers, check the stores selling spiritual meditation cds online. There are several to choose from, and they are not expensive. You can sometimes hear a clip from the cd prior to purchasing, to be sure it is the style of spiritual meditation cd you wanted. Once you choose one, have it shipped to you, then look forward to a spiritual meditation experience with your cd.
Other Than That?
If you want to find something a bit less structured, listen to your radio to stations that play soft enjoyable music. You can find something you enjoy – then take note of the artist. If you buy a cd for spiritual meditation by the same artist, you will probably not be disappointed.
Once It Is In Your Hands…
When you get the cd, take your time getting to know it. While some people enjoy their first meditation experience with new music, others prefer to work with a piece of music they are very familiar with . Whichever your style, go with the flow.
Basic Techniques
Have a regular time and place to meditate. This will help your body anticipate the meditation session, and you will be able to more easily relax.
As you settle down to meditate, whether it is your first time or your one hundredth, take a few extra moments to stretch. Stretching also helps your body let go of the worries of the day, and can help you meditate more easily and more beneficially.
Take a few deep breaths as you begin. These are often called “cleansing breaths” as they help the body get ready for the “work” ahead.
