Hey, this is Gerald Rogers. Welcome to
hero TV. On today's segment, we're going
to be talking about how to meditate in
all of the benefits and learning how to
tap into this amazing practice.
Meditation is a beautiful gift.
Learning how to still the mind, is one of the
greatest acts, ways for us, to access our
true potential and power.
So often in
life, work on the chaos, the distractions,
the noise that exists outside of this.
Meditation is our way to come back to
center and to realize that we are the
source of everything that we want.
and, a lot of people wonder okay how do I
meditate? how do I become effective at it?
I've had the blessing of being able to
study a lot of different meditation
techniques. I've studied Transcendental
Meditation, I've studied different forms
of modern New Age meditation and
visualization. studied a...
ten days of
possum and meditation technique which is
an ancient Indian for meditation and I
just recently got back from another
Indian experience where I was there for
21 days of a spiritual yoga and
meditation retreat. And, there are so many
different forms of meditation that I
have an experience. But all of them are
based on very similar principles and I
want to teach you those principles so
that as you learn you can discover how
to apply them into a meaningful practice
in your life, and to learn how to really
enjoy meditation so that you can get the
true benefits out of it. So you can
experience the peace. So you can
experience the joy. So you can experience
being grounded and just the spiritual
fulfillment that comes from living in
alignment with your source.
So,
Basic principles of meditation. First of all,
understand that meditation is a form of
spiritual yoga. Yoga, it means a union
with God. Meditation is our way to access
the divine, access to the violence
outside of us, and to access the divine
that's inside of us. Meditation is a way
for us to calm the noisy waters. You know,
that, that sometimes it feels like we're
immersed in and and it brings us back to
a space of, of surrender, and
awareness, and clarity.
I love this
analogy and one of my friends who taught
me a transcendental meditation technique
he gave me this analogy and it was
really, really, powerful because it helped
me be able to understand how the mind
works in the process of meditation and
they talked about scuba diving. Have you
ever been scuba... scuba diving? If
not, I want you to imagine it better. If
you have you can relate to this analogy
when you're scuba diving, at the very top
of the ocean it's really wavy, and it's
really bumpy, and there's just a lot of
chaos in motion and movement and, and, and
it's very hard to see.
As you drop into
the water, you begin moving down and the
further down you move, the more
gentle the movement becomes and the more
still the waters are.
And, as he offered
me this technique, he suggested that the
further we go into meditation the
stiller our water becomes. The more easy
the flow of life is and the greater
ability that we have to be truly present.
And, he talked about this idea that
meditation is harnessing our focus on a
single thought. Being able to focus our
energy on that which we desire to create.
And, just imagine that you're under the
water and as you're under the water, you
have different forms of sea life and
you've got hundreds and thousands of
different types of fish that are
like swimming by. All of the other things
that are taking your attention this way
or that way. Meditation is allowing
yourself to put your singular focus on a
single thing. So just imagine that,
there's a tiny little goldfish that's
swimming along and in your meditation
practice, you're just focusing on that
one thing. Any time your focus is
distracted and drawn this way or that
way, you simply observe but then you
bring it back to to your single point of
focus. Imagining that you're sitting at a
cafe and you're looking out the window
and you're seeing all the cars pass and
the people walking across the sidewalk
and all of these things passing those
represent our thoughts just like all of
these different fish
represent different thought patterns we
have. As these people are walking past,
your goal is to just simply let them
pass. To practice artful on attachment
where you're not attaching and focusing
your energy on any of these specific
ideas, but just like the window of the
cafe, you're just letting them come and
go. It's impossible to quote-unquote
control your mind to have no thought
because, even in the attempt to control
your mind, you're focusing on control. and
it just doesn't work. You can't force
your mind to not have thoughts. The
thoughts will come especially as you are
in the process of beginning your
practice. The thoughts will come just
simply don't attach them. Let them come,
and let them go and always come back to
the single point of focus which is a
stillness inside of you.
So here's some
other practical tools in terms of
meditation, number one, posture is
important in your meditation practice. To
make sure that you are sitting in a
place where you can be alert and calm. If
you lie down that's not meditation
that's napping. You will fall asleep like
it's very easy to fall asleep if you
relax back into a chair there's nothing
wrong with taking naps but, don't
consider that meditation because it's
not. Meditation is being in that in a
place of intentional presence, not
disconnection where your brain shuts off.
Intentional presence where, you're, you're,
fully alert fully relaxed and you're
fully present to, to this moment.
A few other tips that I learned in terms of
meditation was to focus on a specific
sensation in your body. For instance, in
the possum meditation as you're as
you're focusing on relaxing, we have you
begin by focusing on just these
sensations of air going in through your
nostrils as you're breathing. Breathing
is incredibly important in the
meditation practice and it's one of the
best ways to harness your focus to just
focus on the air coming in, and focusing
on going out, and focusing on this
sensations of the area the
move and feel the coolness feel that the
energy of the air. and focus on that. As
you continue the possum meditation,
they have you begin expanding your
awareness to different parts of your
physical body and anytime you notice
yourself being drawn into the chaos of
thoughts, and thinking about the future,
and thinking about the past which you will,
you just remind yourself gently without making
yourself wrong, to come back to the
present. Come back to the sensation, Come
back to being in your body and
experiencing that. And, and, that's a very
powerful form of meditation. To be really
in tune with the sensations in your body.
Other forms of harnessing your focus, some
people focus on a flame of a candle.
Other people focus on a single thought
or a single word like home and they
focus their energy on that. Wayne Dyer as
he talks about meditation talks about,
focusing on the space between the words,
the space between the thoughts, and how
all of your peace and presents exist in
that nothingness. These are all powerful
forms of meditation and the point once
again it's just still the mind to get
that point, point of emptiness, that point
where there's nothing there. And, that's
one form of meditation that's really,
really, powerful and in terms of how long
to meditate, there's many different
philosophies. You know, some people will
literally meditate for eight, nine hours
a day. The great yogi that meditate for
18 hours a day. Hidden in the secluded
cave as they're seeking god that's,
that's one extreme.
The other extreme is
just knowing that meditation can only
take a few minutes a day and that's okay
too. You can learn the art of meditation
so that even when you're sitting at a
stoplight, you can drop down to a state
basis stillness and peace one practice
that I found really valuable is
dedicating 20 minutes of your day.
20 minutes of day to find stillness and if
you think for a second that you don't
have 20 minutes,
I'm going to have you look at that. You
don't have 20 minutes to experience
total happiness, bliss, and peace to clear
your mind so you can be more powerful in
your work? What are you, what are you
doing with your life if you don't have
20 minutes to give yourself this gift?
I promise you, if you give yourself this
gift, you'll notice everything else will
flow easier in your life. Everything will
be easier, more fun, if you can give
yourself this gift of meditation.
My invitation is just to practice just to
have fun and just enjoy the process
that's the best place to be in terms of
meditation is to enter it with zero
expectations and simply intention to
just be present with yourself and to
discover who you are and to discover a
deeper connection with the divine just
by clearing your mind and instilling
yourself. Hopefully these tips help you
help you in your practice of living a
an abundant joyful and powerful life.

got one life to live, live big.
