How To Keep Your Meditation Regular

meditationPersonally I find meditation is one of the greatest things we can do to guide us down our spiritual path and maintain a healthy life. It works on so many levels and can be very powerful. The trouble is, in today’s modern world of hustle and bustle it can be quite draining and sometimes we forget to take a few minutes each day to meditate. In this post you will discover a very simple way to ensure you get your regular meditation practice back on track…

I was taught to meditate for 20 minutes, twice a day. This is certainly not set in stone and many other meditators will do less or more, but this is what I have become used to. This can be achievable, but when you do a full time job, perhaps have children to look after at home etc., it can be very difficult. Before you know it, it’s time for bed and you’re so tired that if you tried to meditate you would fall asleep immediately!

What I do when I realise I have not been meditating regularly is to start back with some bite-sized meditations. Simply find a quiet place sometime in the day and meditate for 2 minutes. Seriously, anyone can spare 2 minutes for a quick meditation, can’t they? Being 2 minutes late for work, or having 2 minutes less soaking in the bath isn’t going to be a problem. In itself you won’t gain much from a meditation that short, but here’s the secret: do this for a week and it sets your mind back into the routine of meditating regularly. You will then find you want to do the bite-sized meditation twice a day, or maybe extend it to 5 minutes. After a few weeks you will be extending the meditations to 10 mins, 15 minutes… back to whatever time you used to do. Routine is very powerful. It conditions the mind.

What I have found is that making time for these short meditations every day makes you think about meditation. It brings it back into focus through the blur of the day. Try it. Before you know it you will be meditating like you used to before things got so hectic.

I will be posting more about meditation in the future, such as guided meditations and meditation techniques, so please check back or subscribe to the blog.

    I agree that meditation is was of the best ways to go on the spiritual path. The 20 minute meditation sessions is what I started off with as well.

    Thanks astral, that’s an interesting field you are in, might be worth chatting about it some time for a future post?
