Many people ask me for tips on how to meditate or for an easier way to meditate.  I thought that I would share a great tip that has helped you on your way to a more fulfilling meditation session.

A lot of people try to start meditating with their eyes closed, which can prove to be difficult because distractions will start to creep into the mind.  One thing you can try doing is to light a candle and use it as your focal point.  This will allow you to strengthen and lengthen your attention span and once you are able to hold your attention only on the light, then move onto trying to meditate with your eyes closed.

I’ve had many people tell me that they find meditation to be quite frustrating and that they can’t seem to grasp it.  I can totally relate to this.

When I first started meditating, it would drive me nuts!  I would get so frustrated and give up after a couple of minutes.  I would sit there and wonder how is it that I am supposed to turn my mind off when as soon as I sit down, I get 8 million different things going around and around in my head?!  I think that many people struggle with this, just as I did starting out.  I have a few tips that will help you on your way to a more enjoyable meditation session.

Last night I experienced something truly amazing.

I decided to go and stay in a cottage nestled within 400 acres of forested land.  It was a very beautiful place, quiet and peaceful.  The people I was staying with mentioned that the fireflies would be out that evening and that I should take a look out the window once dusk came.  I thought that was pretty cool and figured I would take a look later on.

As dusk approached, I saw a single firefly, which was pretty neat.  I’ve only seen them a couple of times before, so it was kind of neat to see them again.  It was pretty cute…how it was blinking along.  I waited about 15 minutes, just watching this lonely firefly dancing around in the air having a good time.

One of the first things I learned from my mentor about developing psychic abilities is the importance of meditating on a regular basis.  But what is meditation? How does one meditate?  Is there a right way or a wrong way to meditate?  These were some of the first questions I wondered….

As a beginner, I would quite often fall asleep about 5 minutes into any meditation, whether it was on my own or with a guided audio meditation.  I would have trouble quieting my mind and I was easily distracted with outside noises.  I didn’t really know what to meditate about or what to do when I was “meditating”.  I was really starting to get frustrated with sitting there and waiting for something magical to happen.  🙂

So, what changed??  Well, I received some great tips from my mentor, but a lot of the help I received came from the book she has just written about meditation.  For me, it came at the perfect time, as most things do.  This book is great for a beginner at meditation, as well as a great refresher for people that have been meditating for years.  It is easy to read and flows really well.

The name of the book is “The Secret of Simple Meditation”, by Tamara Hawk.

In this book  she talks about:

• How to Meditate
• Balancing Energy and Chakras
• Intentions and Affirmations
• Awareness, plus much more…

I am really glad I read this book as it helped me with putting a step-by-step system system together for doing my meditations.  As a beginner, having a simple system to follow made it so much easier to get into a routine of meditating on a regular basis.  Things are starting to flow better for me, I feel more balanced and I recognize when I am out of balance much faster now.

If you are struggling with your meditating and need some help, then consider reading this book.  I’m so glad I did.

Thanks Tamara!
