This is why many people who want to get into meditation look for various methods and techniques that work for them. After all, we are all unique and luckily, there are different methods of meditation that you can try until you find something that works for you.
However, we will not discuss the types of meditation, but some techniques that you can try to speed you up in practice.
1. Be In Nature
When we see something green, the mind begins to relax. So, if you are having a hard time meditating, go outside and surround yourself with nature. If you can’t leave the house, you can look at the greenery outside your house. If you have pictures of trees, you can also look at them before or while meditating.
2. Look
One of the easiest ways to get into business is to visualize and create the life of your dreams. It can be a picture in your mind of what you want your day to look like, or even what you want your life to be like in ten years. Be as detailed as possible and while you’re at it, focus on all aspects and elements—what you’re wearing, who you’re with, etc., go deep and Visualize the life you want .
3. Think of something that calms you down
We all have that one place we can go to in our head where it relaxes us. Use this place to anchor yourself and contemplate it. It is a great way to relax and prepare you for your practice.
4. Use a Mantra
Often overlooked, mantras are actually a powerful brain hack. When you meditate. your mind becomes empty, ready to take whatever you want to give it. So, why not paint a happy picture?
To help you focus better on your meditation, use a mantra that is applicable to you. It can be as simple as “I am happy,” which you repeat in your head or say out loud during the course of your practice.
A mantra allows you to drive your subconscious where you want it to be.
5. Cover Your Eyes
Some people find it difficult to sleep when there is light. The same thing can be experienced when we meditate. One way to help you relax and focus is to cover your eyes with an eye mask or towel while meditating. Doing so puts you in the zone and relaxes your eyelids.
6. Listen to Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are becoming very popular these days as more and more people discover the benefits. When you hear it, it will match certain sound waves in your brain, bringing your mind into a more meditative state because they synchronize with your brain waves.
7. Use Lavender Oil
Lavender is the best natural sedative today. It smells amazing and has a calming effect on the mind. You can rub lavender oil on your wrists or feet to relax you and prepare you for meditation. If you have a diffuser, add a few drops of lavender oil and turn it on while you meditate.
Use these techniques and see which one works best for you. Once you get into practice, everything else will follow. Namaste!
