After I do this, I then do a steady breathing technique. In my mind when I breathe in I say, "Relax in." On my exhaling breath I say in my mind, "Thoughts and worry out." It takes a few minutes but eventually impeding inturruptions stop and when my mind is clear I stop saying those words, but keep the breathing. It helps me a lot. I was wondering if anyone else has any techniques that they use and what they think of mine.
I was wondering if maybe it was some how more harmful than helpful because I don't want to push out things that I should be recieving. |
I don't think it is harmful what are you doing. I believe meditation is what works for you and there are so many ways to meditate that there is a vast library base on medititation. Empty the mind is very vital before any relaxation excersice and that is my personal opinion if you don't your meditation will be sabotage by all kind of thought of the day. Deep breathing is also important, you regenerate your body by exhaling toxic from your body and it helps to relax your muscles as well.
To me visualization is a most on my mind clearing excercise. I visualize that I place all my thoughts and bad emotions on this woden box that floats on a running river and at the same time the box is attached by a rope to the bridge where I am standing. Once I fill the wooden box up, I visualize cutting the rope and let the river take the box down the river until it dissapear on the fast roaring current. I walked away from this bridge and then I start my meditation. This work for me as a way to keep outside thoughts from sabotage my meditation time
