With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done.

But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused.

How to meditate
A simple ten or fifteen minute breathing meditation as explained below can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.
Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of the transforming meditations. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation.
1) Place feet comfortably on the floor
2) You can rest one hand inside the other hand, but you don’t want to interlace the fingers because that may restrict blood flow.
3)As you take up a pose, make sure that there is no tension anywhere in the body. You make sure that there’s no tension in your leg muscles, your stomach muscles are relaxed, your shoulders are relaxed, your neck and facial muscles are relaxed, and your jaw muscles are relaxed.
4) Next, you close your eyes very gently and very sweetly as if resting for sleep, but you remain fully awake and fully alert behind the eyes. Your eyeballs are fixed straight ahead – horizontally. There should be no squinting or pressure placed on the eyelids.
5) After you are relaxed, focus your attention on one thing, that can be music, your breathing or a particular piece of focus. According to Tanya Colucci, the MINT Director of Private Training. Here is where is what you do.
We are simply gazing into the center of the field of darkness that we see in front of us…. Now that we are gazing, watching, looking, seeing, and noticing what comes into the field of vision in front of us, we need to block the mind from sending us distracting thoughts. We do this by repeating a Mantra. We repeat this Mantra slowly – with the tongue of thought – mentally at regular intervals. You may repeat any loving name of God that is meaningful to you into the center of the field of vision that you see in front of you. Or, you may repeat this small Mantra: My Aim Is To Meditate. We speak each word slowly with the tongue of thought into the center of the field of vision that we see in front of you.
Each word is spoken firmly and slowly at regular intervals into the center of the field of vision that we see in front of us. We place all of our mental concentration into speaking each word slowly at regular intervals as if each word is being cast into the center of the field of vision that you see in front of you. If you begin to see flashes of Light or circles of Light or pin-pricks of Light, continue to gaze beyond the Lights. If you try to notice or focus on the Light, it will disappear, so simply continue to gaze into the center of whatever you see in front of you and repeat the Manta with firm concentration into the center of whatever you see in front of you.
7)when you get to this point, you are meditating.
8)You should start everyday with 5 minutes of meditation and end the day with 5 minutes of meditation. Slowly build up your time each week by 1-2 minutes during each sitting until you are able to sit for 20-30 minutes.
When you first sit for Meditation try the technique “Three Equals Four.”
1) Still the Body, 2) Still the Mind, 3) Focus the Attention =4) Meditation
I can’t believe the residence is turning into a slum just before my eyes and that I have to move again.
