Using a Meditation Timer
When you are first experimenting with meditation, you may only be able to clear your mind for 3 to 5 minutes at a time.
If you use this handy timer, you can build your meditation skills one minute at a time.
One method is to start with 3 minutes set the intention to sit quietly and do not entertain any thoughts. When you make it a habit to take 6 deep breaths each time you start to quiet your mind. This will be a signal to your body that you are ready to begin.
Close your eyes, you will see black. Begin by visualizing a blank place on your forehead that you can use as a dark, empty room between your ears. Simply set your intentions that you will not entertain any thoughts for 3 or so minutes.
No doubt a stray thought will enter your mind, but simply ignore it and gently usher it out your ears. Visualize the thought drifting out one of your ears and don't stop to think about it. When you will hear the sound of your timer, it does not indicate that you should sit up straight and go about your day, it is a gentle reminder that you have met your goal for quiet time. The timer will remind you to wiggle your toes, begin to move and stretch and gently bring yourself back to awareness of the world out there waiting for you. When you are ready, you will get back to your day more refreshed.
Increase your meditation time by one minute each time! There is relaxing meditation music online that you may want to play softly while you enjoy this time.
By the time you are up to 15 or 20 minutes -- 3 times a week, you will feel calm and peace as a part of your life. Each person develops a long term meditation routine, but most people like to practice it daily shortly after they get up.
Experienced in meditation? You may want to set this timer for 20 or more minutes to remind you to get back to work or to get on with your day. I guarantee meditation will help you stay focused and bring intuitive awareness to you. A meditation timer will help.
Take time out of your busy day for quiet time.
